All the political press seems to have learned from the Trump era is that incessantly attacking the president, even routinely lying about him and his administration, brings rich rewards book deals, cable news contracts, speaking gigs, Twitter followers, compliments from George Takei, and in McKay Coppins’ case, an appearance on “The Daily Show.”
Coppins, a staff writer at The Atlantic known for writing about Mitt Romney, admits as much in a recent column that’s purportedly about the impending breakup of the anti-Trump “Resistance” and the media but is really about how his own negative coverage of Trump was widely-read and opened up many wonderful opportunities for him.

Conservative journalist Susan Ferrechio took issue with New York Magazine writer Olivia Nuzzi on Saturday for penning that her lasting image of President Trump was of a man with one finger on the nuclear button, the others glued to his phone. Wait was he threatening to use nukes??? Ferrechio, the Washington Examiner’s chief congressional correspondent, balked. Whoa. I don t remember that story! If true, it is absolutely astonishing. If not, it s the kind of garbage journalism that Makes Things Worse.
The quote was from Nuzzi’s latest piece, The Silence of the Damned, which discusses the political fallout of Wednesday’s U.S. Capitol riot. It was the magazine’s top story Saturday.

The source said there is some concern inside Pence’s team that there are risks to invoking the 25th Amendment or even to an impeachment process, as Trump could take some sort of rash action putting the nation at risk.
I’m sorry, but an armed insurrection against the United States government is not enough for you, Mikey?
At a “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington, D.C., Trump egged on thousands of supporters who were demanding that the 2020 election be overturned.
Something just came to me as I was reading about the soon-to-be-former Chicago CEO who was one of the arrested rioters. Many, although not nearly enough, of the domestic terrorists will be in court next year facing extremely serious federal charges carrying “law and order” length sentences. I am certain that their defenses will feature some variation on “Trump told me to do it” as their lawyers attempt to portray their clients as dupes, not villains. Pardons or no, prosecution of Trump or no, videos of the pre-riot rally are going to be seen, heard and read about in local media day after day. I don’t think the Republican officeholders who have belatedly deserted Trump have to worry about primary challenges too much anymore. Who’s gonna want to have Trump campaign for them now?
