Did he have to watch outside because his mom won't let him smoke in the basement?
To be fair, the goals of the "Tea Party" were racism and Koch Brothers pay no taxes.
Agreeing with, or even reposting, Quillette is always a bad choice. This time it's outrageous!

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.
The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.
Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]
How do reporters overcome the overwhelming desire to give Johnson a wedgie after he says such falsehoods?

Looking forward to Mike Johnson declaring he hasn't seen the diarrhea jet clip.
Bad timing! Now he has to explain the Diarrhea King in the F15 video.
One might say you're an enthusiast.
A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities
@nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @cnn.com are you going to write about the president of the United States posting a clip of himself literally dumping shit on Americans, or is it nbd?
Who suspected it of being a drug-carrying vessel? Is there any evidence at all? Why don't you name who said it was a drug-carrying vessel? It was just Trump wasn't it?
How many people? Are you going to cover these protests in the same depth and with the same intensity you covered the *much smaller* Tea Party protests in 2010? Or are you going to leave it at this and call it a day?
So the Trump admin is committing "lawfare", something they railed against during Biden's term. Can you possibly call out the incredibly hypocrisy of the Trump admin on this, and just about every other issue?
"What we know"? You're reporters at a (perhaps THE) major newspaper. You should know almost everything, authoritatively.

Wishy washy feinting at "oh, those massive anti-Trump protests are so mysterious" and your precious treatment of Trump makes me reconsider the value of a US-style "free press".
"155th Naval Infantry Brigade" - Russian armed forces have very differ structure than US.
The book was great. I didn't know there was a movie, thanks!
Doing better than the Whit House Press Corps for sure. Why did that bunch fail so hard?
That quote seemed appropriate. I'm glad you noticed!
"The punches will be pulled, but the reading pleasure isn't sacrificed."

I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a statement.
