Just wild how democratic operatives keep trying to hide their relationships with the media, oh well it’s probably nothing. Y’all see the picture of Biden’s dog?! It’s so good to get back to normal.

Libs who jacked off during the movie about the Washington Post: well actually destruction can sometimes be a good thing, for example controlled burns and
Who are these Libs expressing this sentiment? It's just that this sounds like a pretty low level scandal, with Ducklo acting poorly out of self-interest. The scandal doesn't seem to go any higher than that, from the available information anyway.

According to this, they both informed their bosses and the reporter quit her assignment so it wouldn't give the appearance of being inappropriate
Hi maybe you missed this. They weren't hiding shit

It's not nothing, but it mostly just reflects poorly on Ducklo that he would make that threat to try to keep his own personal life out of the press. That the administration suspended him for a week instead of firing him outright is a debatable call, but it doesn't rise to the level of a particularly interesting scandal.

It’s truly amazing the turnaround you get when team blue gets into power.
If some Trump aide threatened a reporter y’all would be losing your minds about the sanctity of a free press and the terrible fascist authoritarianism run amok in the White House.
When it’s a blue White House aide: look so what guy? He didn’t even really threaten her. And if he did it doesn’t matter because the relationship wasn’t even a secret. And if it was it doesn’t matter because the aide got reprimanded.
But yes, Biden did not personally threaten this woman so all’s well.

This much is clear to anyone who read the article I linked.
Regardless, I called it trumpian to highlight the double standards that team blue here apply to stories like this, and look how predictable the responses were lol

If a Trump aide threatened a reporter to advance Trump's interests, then sure.

Threatening the reporter was only in Ducklo's interests, not Biden's.

Lol, well I appreciate that, but maybe the aid just wants some privacy and over reacted? If it happens at least twice then we can probably take his threats seriously though.

Yeah I see no indications that Biden directed Ducklo to make threats to save Ducklo's reputation. And the scenario just does not make sense. If Ducklo becomes too much of a liability then he's ultimately expendable. What makes more sense is that Ducklo decided on his own to do this to suppress the story about Ducklo.

If anything, we got bored of talking about all the threats Trump and his team made against the free press. I don;t think we even discussed the time he had a reporter arrested, or the several times that he sicced his MAGA hats onto reporters, resulting in multiple assaults.
I think we did talk about the time the Governor of Montana responded to a question with a chokeslam, but that was back in 2018.

Nobody was hiding anything. The reporter literally changed her assignment so there wouldn’t be a conflict

To recap:
- Immediately go back on $2k COVID check promise, negotiate themselves down to $1400 - Further attempt to means test it - Put pandemic relief on hold for more impeachment theater - Somehow negotiate themselves out of calling witnesses, lose vote regardless - congratulate themselves with a week off (relief checks can wait a little longer), citing Valentine’s Day

Would have helped if more than a handful of Republicans had any integrity and voted with their minds instead of their status quo
