    Can’t wait for some overpaid and overeducated shithead at the New York Times to get all “Ah ah ah, it’s not a constitutional crisis yet you dirty plebs! They didn’t say they’re defying the court order, they said they’re interpreting it, and we have no choice but to take that completely obvious bullshit at face value because that’s how patriotic journalists talk about the leader of the free world.”

      I don’t think “over educated” is the right word. I lean toward “poorly educated regarding history and the other humanities.”

        Eh, fair, I definitely don’t want to trash the value of a real genuine education, but I am sick to death of these arrogant idiots who just memorized a bunch of neoliberal ideology and justifications for empire at bullshit ivy league schools and then act like they deserve their giant platforms and paychecks

      Not sure I understand what the new York times has to do with this story at this time, why don’t lemmings wait to see what’s written before leveling criticism at them?

        Because they’ve been shit tier journalism and the handmaidens of human rights atrocities since at least Iran-Contra. They used to be good back in like the 60s and their insane amount of resources they can throw at stories means occasionally they get an interesting scoop, but their editorial board are a bunch of mendacious pricks who will throw marginalized people under the bus and help the rich and powerful sweep dirt under the rug for access.
