    Tiabbi is an actual liberal. Democrats should listen to him.

    Drink bleach, that is what Trump said.

There’s no longer pretense that prosecution would lead to the unspooling of a massive Trump-Russia conspiracy, as pundits once breathlessly expected. News that Flynn was cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller inspired many of the “Is this the beginning of the end for Trump?” stories that will someday fill whole chapters of Journalism Fucks Up 101 textbooks.

    You really have to read the whole thing. I thought it was a good read. He didn't spare republicans either.
    It's the type of article I savor because I'm no real fan of either party, just less so for the blue team.

    Free speech protects the content of speech, not locations. That is more of a free assembly question.
