The Boston Globe put out two bootlicking Trump op-eds in one week. What are we DOING
Manage episode 501332768 series 3560578
VR4 - It’s a Boston doubleheader for this Vapid Response Wednesday as Thomas, Lydia, and Matt take on two truly awful takes from the pages of Matt’s hometown paper last week within 24 hours of each other. But first: a vintage amuse douche from Tucker Carlson on the evils of the National Guard’s occupation of DC--in January 2021 (and apparently no other time)!
Then in today’s main stories:
(1) Conservative opinion-haver Heather Mac Donald on why she supports Trump’s absolute right to send American military personnel to occupy American cities just because he wants to.
(2) Project 2025 collaborator Hillsdale College dispatches its finest journalistic mind to explain why Donald J. Trump (yes, that Donald J. Trump) is 2025’s best possible candidate for a Nobel Peace Prize (yes, that Nobel Peace Prize).
“Trump was right to send the National Guard to Washington,” Heather Mac Donald, Boston Globe (8/13/25)
“Breaking down the White House lies about D.C.”, Radley Balko (8/13/25)
“Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize,” John J. Miller, Boston Globe (8/14/25)
