- Phrases NOT found in that NYT piece: — “emoluments clause” — “unconstitutional” — “impeachable offense” But rest assured that they *did* find time to bothsides this issue by mentioning Hunter Biden’s sleazy but legal trading on his family name. Yeah, those are equivalent. Good work, boys.

- The @nytimes.com gave us Trump with all their corrupt, sane washing during the campaign. They can’t surprise me any more.
- There’s a history of the media failing to portray the reality of political threats. The NYT was guilty of fluffing Hitler. They have learned nothing.
- The New York Times has a recent history of fluffing Nazi supporters of Trump. If you don’t like Nazi’s, please consider not supporting the NYT until they figure how to report on white supremacy and its threat to democracy.
- Setting aside the regular NYT obfuscatory language, it's just an untrue headline. Something that strains bounds is within them; the bounds are stressed but have held. Qatar giving the president a jet is plainly improper, outside the bounds, so even the weasel word headline is false.
- "strains" strains under the load it is being asked to bear
- Wistfully remembering a time when even “the appearance of impropriety” was enough to end a career
- The NYT, where truth dies in a word salad
