Speaking of worthless main stream media, sounds like the Bezos Axe is swinging over at WashPo.
Washington Post Weighing Cutting 100 Newsroom Positions - NYT
Maybe next WashPo can report on how NYT is going to need to cut staff too.

BTW, any news on the lady who unleashed a deliberate tweet storm to get herself canned by WaPo? Did her lawyers file another discrimination lawsuit?
The reason he was fired, not retiredâyou are not escorted from the building if you retire, is that he was named by FBI whistleblowers to Senator Grassley.
But back to my main point, why is the first inclination of those of you on the left to use ad-hominen arguments? Ad-hominem is one of the fundamental fallacies of rhetoric.
Instead of valid argument you make assertions with no citation or reference.

I find it interesting that you donât seem to acknowledge or recognize the use of this in relation to frequent references to âmainstream mediaâ.
I do not use the phrase âmainstream mediaâ because they are not. I truthfully label media left-wing media because it is obviously true. But I do not use that as an argument against something just because it is in the left-wing media.
LOL, because you believe sites like GP are the word of God, you donât even read anything else. If you had read the CBS story you posted, you would have read in the first paragraph:
âand they added that all of those who retire hand over their badge and gun and are escorted out of the building.â
That is clearly false. In this thread of debate I am the only one that has read and cited other sites.
As to whether Thibault was fired, abruptly resigning after credible allegations from a whistleblower can be whitewashed as resigning but it is obviously a firing.
I wrote that about the Gateway Pundit item. And I stand by those words.
Stories like the one I posted, which are either exculpatory for Trump or serve to defend him in any manner, take a LONG time to be confirmed. Cases in point:
Some people still believe the phony Trump-Russia link was genuine.
And it took seventeen months for the mainstream media to admit the Hunter laptop findings are real. The NY Post, which gave us the story first, had this reaction at the time:
Such wildly biased ânews reportingâ as you find at the NY Times is simply a joke. It is not in the least serious.
The following is just my opinion:
I believe the firing of Thibault is real. Whether or not he had a major role in the Mar-a-Lago raid, for me, remains up in the air.
But if he did, that is a REALLY big deal!

Well, you obviously didnât, or you wouldnât have written - âyou are not escorted from the building if you retireâ 
Is this going to turn into tag where is the last one to post wins the argument? As a public spirited poster I will stop now and stop wasting pixels and bandwidth.
Is Texas a great state or what!!
Texas is shoving Bidenâs illegals up the asses of Bidenâs sanctuary cities, with more cities now being added to the list. And strangely the virtue-signalling sanctuary cities are spitting mad? How can this possibly be? Why, they are all so welcoming of illegals, are they not? Or so they want everyone to believe.
Chicago now. Many more Democrat sanctuary cities to follow.
And all so deserving of this treatment.
Greg Abbott for President!!
On a personal note, I can hardly wait for the first busses to arrive in Seattle!!

I appreciate the irony of voices on the political-right cheering busing migrants all over the country while simultaneously bemoaning these migrants disappearing from any tracking or oversight.
Yeah. As if absent the bussing Biden was doing everything correctly.
What a sack of crap!

I am not implying any such thing.
But if they were already concerned about migrants melting into the background, then busing them around the country is certainly counter to that concern.
I dunno where you live. But I hope Abbott and Ducey swamp all of you open borders types with the thousands of illegals you so well deserve for your support of Biden. Enjoy 'em. And enjoy paying for them, too.

Man⌠some of your comments are just so far off base, it is hilarious.
But at the same time, so carelessly hateful that it is truly sad that youâd talk to someone this way.
And you need to seriously consider the ramifications of an âarms raceâ of busing people around the country. It is absolutely asinine to think that metro areas couldnât just stick them right back on a bus and dump them on your small town in rural America that canât afford to easily ship them back. Be very careful what youâre wishing for on this issue.
Thereâs nothing ironic about two different steps in the process. If the latter (them being let into the country) didnt happen, there would be none of the former (busing them to various cities). The busing is a subsequent step that mitigates the screwed up initial step.
Itâs not like rounding them up into concentration camps or branding them with scarlet letters is an option. Theyâre melting into the background regardless, the only question is who is stuck dealing with it.
This is true. But it is the people in those cities calling to let them in. Thatâs where there is irony, or hypocrisy, from such cities turning around and busing them off somewhere else - you want to let them in, but dont want them in your own backyard. The people currently busing them off now are very clear they wouldnât have let them in in the first place. (and if it isnt clear, I mean a generic âyouâ, not referring to you specifically.)

I mean, I get that the people busing migrants around the country certainly wouldnât see it as ironic, or understand their own hypocrisy in all of this, since they appear to have a view that if theyâre able to have a negative impact on some city that they politically disagree with then it would somehow be a good thing in their minds.
Youâre missing the point - they are matching the negative impact with the areas that prompt the policies causing the negative impact. There is no hypocrisy, because those in Texas doing the busing didnt want to let the people in/stay in the first place. If NY, DC, etc would let them, Texas would rather be busing these people back over the border.
The hypocrisy comes from those in NY, Washington, and Chicago crying about how we just have to let these people into the country, then complaining because those same people are now being relocated to their own backyards.

Iâm definitely not missing the point. I just think itâs a poor point to try to make.
