Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Are you arguing about the use of “resurfaced” instead of the blatant hypocrisy?
It was buried under the tsunami of bullshit trump, the republicans, ICE, and all the rest have been generating.
Yes, “resurfaced” is correct terminology and usage in this case.
It's a popular media gimmick. Turn old news into a new headline because you've got nothing better to talk about.
The NYPost and WaTi play this game all the time
The blatant hypocrisy speaks for itself. The fact that it's treated like it's some shiny new thing instead of like you said, one of many things discarded as the firehose of falsehoods kept squirting and distracting the media with shiny new things to get clicks instead of organizing it all into a well documented tapestry of hypocrisy is part of why we're here. The medias failure to contend with the nature of the beast is a problem. Treating every single incident as though it's a unique, stand-alone issue instead of weaving it together as part of a larger whole is a problem.
It's can't be new: the 're' is right in the name!
