53. Almost all RW media openly behave this way. Let me know

Mon Dec 20, 2021, 08:32 PM

Dec 2021

when someone at one of them slips and is prosecuted by any jurisdiction for a provable crime. So far even civil suits aren't successful.

There's no real doubt about what they're doing. But until it's a prosecutable crime, demanding the government kidnap and lock them up is the same thing those who demanded Hillary be locked up for running against Sanders and tRump for president did.

You may remember how appallingly enraged and sincere those people were. Fortunately for them, they didn't have to worry about being locked up themselves, no matter how despicable they really were or how dangerous they would have been if they could have turned their vicious passions into action. No provable crime to be prosecuted for.
