I was thinking the same thing. Climate change won't make them take action on fossil fuels, but fuck around with politics and now they have a "legitimate" reason to do something.

That's the thing about campaigns, right? It's good to know when to put characters to rest and start with a new story.
Honestly, I wish more news sites would refrain from naming party affiliation. It forces people to think of the content of the statements first.
Punchline goes in the description
Lie is a tough word to use in law and journalism. To accuse someone of lying you have to prove intent to tell the lie vs being truly mistaken.
For example, if I say the Earth is flat am I lying or mistaken? If I truly believe that, then it's not a lie, even though facts clearly say otherwise. I'm just not aware or choose to disagree with those facts.
It's maddening. I'm with you and wish journalists would use harsher language in obvious cases, but I understand why they tend not to as a standard to ensure they're not opening themselves up to claims of liable and defamation.
Isn't this pretty much expected from them by now? They're like that one neighborhood dog that has to bark at you the entire time you're walking by their fence.
Yes, I'm here to ensure that dad jokes are delivered with the proper pun-ctuality and finesse!

If you make something and give it away for free, that's fine.
If you make something and I sell it to the masses for a profit without your permission that's theft.
This is not true for everyone. We all have different reasons for similar feelings like this. I sleep great but still feel like this. Oversleeping is also a sign of depression.
For me, getting my diet under control and truly understanding what my body needs has helped tremendously (more fiber/protein, less carbs/sugars). Introducing daily probiotics has helped too. It really is amazing how our diets affect our moods.
For some, regular exercise may help. For others, sun lamps help with seasonal depression. Sometimes you need medication. Sometimes weed helps.
Always talk to a professional. Try different things until you figure out what works and what doesn't.
I feel like Twitter (I will always deadname it) was the beginning of the end for him. Unfortunately, things like this can take years or decades to resolve, but whereas 5 years ago he had the midas touch and could do no wrong now there seems to be nothing but a stream of negative news about him.
Time will tell
Has anyone actually read it? Opinions on it?
