The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition

I don't recall reading any of Christine Rousselle's other stuff, so I will defer judgement on her journalistic chops, but her article: Cokie Roberts: Oh, We All Knew To Avoid Getting in An Elevator With Rep. Conyers falls far short of the appropriate condemnation of the cozy relationship the media have with politicians of the appropriate party.

Speaking on ABC's "This Week," Cokie Roberts made a startling admission: "every female in the press corps knew" to avoid being in an elevator with Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), and has apparently known about this "for years." Conyers has been accused of multiple instances of sexual harassment and has stepped down from the House Judiciary Committee.

So to Cokie Roberts and all of the other "journalists" who ignored a big story in furtherance of their political beliefs, I address two points:

First, how many unsuspecting women were attacked by Conyers and the other predators in Congress because you kept their dirty big secret? Were any raped. molested, driven from their jobs? If so, it is on your pointy little heads!

Second, fvck you for your craven and arrogant belief that you were serving the greater good by keeping those sordid secrets from a public that is owed the information. The Constitution doesn't protect the press from government interference on the condition that it is protected in return. Your only function is to pull back the curtains and expose government, not coddle it to protect your perks. You are disgusting, immoral whores (and I apologize to the real whores who actually give value).

High-level meetings between North Korean and Iranian officials in recent months are stoking concerns inside the U.S. government about the depth of military ties between the two American adversaries. In September, President Trump ordered U.S. intelligence agencies to conduct a fresh review of any potential bilateral nuclear collaboration. Yet officials in Washington, Asia, and the Middle East who track the relationship indicate that Pyongyang and Tehran have already signaled a commitment to jointly develop their ballistic missile systems and other military/scientific programs.

Iran could have been stopped.

Appeasement does not work.
