Unfortunately, Trump's Operation Shiny Object Appears to have Worked [View all]

The media has been obsessing over Orange Julius Caesar's nothingburger of a "summit" with his boyfriend in Alaska while relegating the Epstein cover-up to the back of the line. Personally, I'm not worried about Donnie taking away our Freedom of The Press, because the Press itself has traded said freedom in for ratings and clicks.
