Another mainstream media 'framing' I can't stand

That "Democrats are going to make Donald's life hell. His "worst year ever"."

His life IS HELL.
He created this.
It's NOT the Democrats doing this from thin air like Benghazi and Whitewater.

1. I can't stand when MSM has "breaking" and "exclusive" stories on Trump criminality/mendacity

which other outlets/people reported on YEARS ago -- being incompetent, slow, or otherwise terrible at your job is not sufficient reason to call a story you are finally covering "new," rather you should admit you missed the f--king boat the first time around. A disturbing amount of this s--t about Trump was in the public domain and ignored by the media, and they are now pretending like people are just now digging it up. NO.

Neither Democrats, nor Republicans, nor prosecutors need to learn a single datum *more* about Trump to fully justify his impeachment, removal, prosecution, and incarceration. Plenty is out here already. Stop acting like it isn't just because you want a soap opera or a horse race to cover.
