Much like @DanMoldea’s Scrubstack and John Hankey’s JFK/Jr work, this is another great limited hangouter that seems to truly believe the only real political conspiracies are against their precious Pepsis…
https://twitter.com/mediamonarchy/status/1687284544511057920
It finally dawned on me a few years ago that, like John Hankey, Dan only sees conspiracies against his precious Democrats. That’s honestly the only reason I still follow his work: to see how his blind spots persist in an era where the #TwoPartyIllusion is as obvious as brown nose on his face. Reagan and football ruined! everything! lololol

That’s pretty unfair, James. I will stack my hard-fought-for independence as a fiercely independent investigative journalist for nearly 50 years against any other independent in the business. . . . And, if you actually believe that there is no difference between the Democrats and the Trump-owned Republican Party, then you are fully delusional.
