You seem to have a distinct lack of recognition of sarcasm lately. Or, maybe you are trying to be sarcastic? I can't tell.

Not sarcasm.

Would genuinely appreciate a "TL;DR" sort of explanation.

Oh dude I wasn't being sarcastic, she is very clearly and obviously a bipartisan individual and undoubtedly cares about reporting the truth and would never use her position or platform to do anything other that put the absolute truth out there and not cater to narratives that she deems worthy.

NPR is fine.

The uniparty:



100,000 Trained Men and 50,000 pieces of armor in the Greatest Ukraine Counter-Offensive was all DESTROYED by Russia in 4 months... Now they somehow believe another $60B without new men or armor can win. Aren't proxy wars fun? I heard this went well for us in Afghanistan., amiright Charlie Wilson?
