    Hey kids - those of you who maybe had other things to do than obsess over the absolutely insane batshit daily events of the first trump turd circus, I have an exciting Pro Tip for you which applies for the next four years at least.

    All the corporate news sewers are going to goose every article with “May” and “Seems” and “Could” and “Shows” and all kinds of waffley-weaselly words that don’t mean anything at all, but pretend as if somethning has actually happened.

    They do this because they have nothing else to do - the obvious breaking down of the lies, the calling out of horrible transgressions and so on you might have thought they would do at one point is absolutely never going to happen, this is all they got. They are miserable stenographers of fascism and they don’t have the courage to fight the boss or leave the industry.

    Also, watch for the “insider” articles, becuase they’re exactly the same, they also mean nothing at all, but they’re “insiders” see, so you know it probably looks like it’s important or something.

        Fair, I think they’re pretty good in general, but they are corporate news. And this title is kind of an example.

        TL;DR: It sounds like the MAGAts are going to fight each other and everything might turn out okay, but before the paywall it basically says they’re deciding if things will be horrendously bad or just unbelievably awful. There is no hope there.
