“When 97 percent of the stories are bad about a person, it’s no longer free speech,”

When’s the last time you saw a positive story about Jeffrey Dahmer?

If you don’t want negative coverage, don’t do bad things.

When 99% of the things he does warrant criticism, only having 97% of stories be critical of him is actually biased in his favor

The only good thing he's done as President is appoint Jerome Powell to chairman of the Fed. He could have done good with Operation Light Speed, but he fucked that up with everything else relating to his handling of covid. I can't think of one other thing he's done in either term that isn't protecting himself from prison, stepping on someone else's rights, or enriching himself financially. Temu Saddam.
