The nomination and confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh is just one of the many lessons that haters of Hillary need to come to terms with. When you don't vote because your party's candidate is not who you really wanted, and you hold the assumption that your candidate will win anyway, the potential exists for the dangerous candidate of the other party to win. As that exact scenario came to pass we are now living through a nightmare presidency, one that he and his enabling party have picked an unqualified Supreme Court justice that will remain in place for potentially the rest of his life. It's likely the abortion issue will come up again to this Supreme Court. Will we continue to be this fortunate with each passing vote? Are you listening Susan Sarandon? Long live Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
George HW Bush lied to us for years claiming to have been out of the loop on Iran Contra. His pardons of all of his fellow co-conspirators kept his dairy documenting all those meetings he never attended from being used as evidence in Caspar Weinberger’s trial.
In contrast the media knew that Al Gore had never falsely claimed to have invented the internet but they had a field day repeating that Rovian lie, anyway. Hilllary told the truth about her email practices but the media refused to accept what she said preferring the right wing dishonest version of the story.
Yes Republicans are always truthful about their sex lives. I still laugh when I remember how Larry Flint paid people to give him evidence that the Republicans who were trying to impeach Clinton had their own indiscretions. And boy did they ever!!! Bob Livingston went down. My favorite was the sanctimonious conservative “Christian” Bob Barr getting outed for paying for his ex-wife’s abortion. Newt was cheating on his wife, Livingston took his place then had to leave because of his affairs. The media was so impressed that the supposedly above reproach Dennis Hastert replaced him.
I have a theory that The New York Times must practice a form of segregation in its Washington bureau, and that other media outlets do the same. In one area they have the people who cover politics for them. In the other they have the actual reporters.

not only did GOP pick unqualified nominee, they then encouraged him to lie throughout his confirmation
Let's rewrite this...."since the GOP picked a compromised nominee, it needed him to lie throughout his confirmation"
The media doesn’t care when Republicans lie, even if it is under oath. Clarence Thomas lied during his hearings.

Colin Powell lied under oath to Iran Contra investigators but the media refused to cover this story.

And his son and his VP Cheney lied us into a war.

indeed, there’s a long, sad history of press having double standard for Dem nominees
And for some perspective, Bill Clinton lied too -- about a blow job.🤔

It's not that elected Democrats are free from "sex scandals," it's that they're not holier-than-though hypocrites.

it’s kind of maddening bc outside of the DC bureau, the NYT is generally excellent
