Can you please post the actual articles from the Times and Post where they state there is no voter suppression in the new Georgia law?We will wait.

There’s nothing unusual about exaggeration in politics. But when it comes to the debate over voting rights, something more than exaggeration is going on.
There’s a real — and bipartisan — misunderstanding about whether making it easier or harder to vote, especially by mail, has a significant effect on turnout or electoral outcomes. The evidence suggests it does not.
The fight over the new Georgia election law is only the latest example. That law, passed last week, has been condemned by Democrats as voter suppression, or even as tantamount to Jim Crow.
Democrats are understandably concerned about a provision that empowers the Republican-controlled State Legislature to play a larger role in election administration. That provision has uncertain but potentially substantial effects, depending on what the Legislature might do in the future. And it’s possible the law is intended to do exactly what progressives fear: reshape the electorate to the advantage of Republicans, soon after an electoral defeat, by making it harder to vote.
And yet the law’s voting provisions are unlikely to significantly affect turnout or Democratic chances. It could plausibly even increase turnout. In the final account, it will probably be hard to say whether it had any effect on turnout at all.
This is called walking things back.
and as far as the WAPO I will just say

The legal situation of the Jan 6th Capitol “insurrection” defendants
So far it seems that in the main they will be charged with trespassing:
“There is a natural cycle to an event like this,” the defense attorney added. “People will say it was the end of the world, then things will calm down, and they’ll begin looking at cases back on what people actually did.”
That’s no accident, of course. What’s left out of that statement is which “people” are saying what, and why. If the “event” is one that features leftists as the alleged perpetrators, the entire episode is trivialized and considered “mostly peaceful” even at the outset. But if it’s people on the right who stand accused, well that’s when the “end of the world” cries go out from the Democrats and their mouthpieces in the press.
That sets the narrative so that evidence that might later come out in a legal proceeding concerning what people actually did has already become irrelevant to the public. Even if no one or only a relatively few people end up being charged for their actions on January 6th, many Democrats will either say that proves that the legal system is biased in favor of the right and against the left, or they won’t even get the news at all. Either way, almost all will continue to think there was and still is a huge and dangerous insurrection afoot among people on the right, including all Trump supporters, and that just about anything is justified in order to stop it.
And prosecutors are facing pressure from judges to either back up their tough talk about sedition or put a lid on it. Michael Sherwin, the former lead Jan. 6 prosecutor, found himself rebuked by other senior prosecutors and Judge Amit Mehta last week for publicly flirting with the possibility of sedition charges when none had actually been leveled.
No matter what happens, I don’t think Biden or his spokespeople or any Democrat leader will ever admit this wasn’t an insurrection. Way too much is riding on that perception. They worked hard to plant that idea in the heads of the public, and it serves them in good stead. Why let facts get in the way?

Georgia Democrats stare down a mob of their own making
by Kaylee McGhee White
Leftist activists are busy whipping up a national boycott of Georgia-based businesses over the state’s new election integrity law. The boycott has the support of Hollywood and the White House, with President Joe Biden saying this week that he would support moving the MLB’s All-Star Game out of the state as a sign of protest. Georgia Democrats are now left trying to talk the mob down. “I absolutely oppose and reject any notion of boycotting Georgia,” Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff said in a statement on Thursday. “Georgia welcomes business, investment, jobs, opportunity, and events. In fact, economic growth is driving

Business anger grows at Biden's 'infrastructure plan: Top firms criticize 'dangerously misguided' $2T plan pouring billions into fixing racial inequalities, climate change, electric cars (with only 5% set aside for bridges, roads and trains)
by Geoff Earle
Major American business groups have lined up against President Joe Biden's $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan – even after many of them got behind his $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief effort.The opposition signals the headwinds the White House is up against promoting a package the Biden is designating as the next big push of his agenda, and one that he said Friday would create 19 million jobs.The U.S. Chamber of Commerce went after the plan as 'dangerously misguided.' 'Properly done, a major investment in infrastructure today is an investment in the future, and like a new home, should be paid for over time — say 30 years — by the users

The same people that blame the media for everything don't blame guns for anything. The media never shot anyone, right?
How ironic.
You are blaming the gun (for everything) when obviously the blame belongs to the 'friend'
Humans kill humans, not objects.
but you won't, or can't, understand that.

Really screwed up news environment we have if media is operating that way.

Just heard on Fox News - Chad Pergram - Congressional Correspondent:
"Had this street been closed, two weeks ago like it was, this incident would not have happened at this checkpoint"
So, keep all streets around the Capitol closed, even though they still have the barricades ?
You have less sense than Tibs.
Would it have happened at another checkpoint then ?
You don't know and neither do I.
If a deranged person wants to attack cops he will.
When you politicize everything you give yourself away.

No one is "laughing it up" as you know.
I thought that your thread was going pretty well, no it's the trumpites" nonsense, people were actually waiting to see what had really happened.
As your post from the Head of the Capitol police showed, it appears more and more that it was an unbalanced soul who attacked those policeman,
It CERTAINLY is NOT anything to compare with January 6th and the National Guard protection as you and Tibs try to imply in the other thread to your own detriment.

Yup, you want the capital to be undefended from these terrorists. Shows what you are for
The barricade that the driver rammed has been there for years, it was not part of the new fencing, and certainly the National guard did not add to any safety.
But leave it to you Tiberius, to again use someone's death to try and justify your own vile bias.
You are a very poor example of a human being.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, FOR DEVELOPING MULTIPLE VACCINES A YEAR FASTER THAN EXPERTS THOUGHT POSSIBLE:
Moderna Vax Limits Eased.
https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/91909
The FDA will allow 11 doses to be taken from standard Moderna vaccine vials and authorized a new vial with 15 doses.
Also, Moderna said the vaccine can now be kept 24 hours at room temperature after thawing, and doses remain good 12 hours after vials are opened.
We might not even need that AstraZeneca vaccine, according to Anthony Fauci, MD.
I don’t think we even need Anthony Fauci, MD.

ELECTION DECIDED, NPR’S MODIFIED LIMITED HANGOUT EXPIRES:
NPR issues stunning mea culpa after claiming Hunter Biden laptop story was ‘discredited’ by intelligence.
A book review of Hunter Biden’s memoir “Beautiful Things” initially dismissed the documents first reported in October by The Post.
“The laptop story was discredited by U.S. intelligence and independent investigations by news organizations,” the book review by NPR senior editor and correspondent Ron Elving initially claimed.
The correction on the Thursday article now says, “A previous version of this story said U.S. intelligence had discredited the laptop story. U.S. intelligence officials have not made a statement to that effect.”
Although some Democrats claimed that the laptop may have been “Russian disinformation,” President Biden’s campaign, the White House and Hunter Biden have not denied the laptop belonged to Hunter.
In a new interview set to air in full Sunday on CBS, Hunter Biden admits that the laptop “certainly” could be his.
Earlier: It’s Important To Be Honest About What Today’s Media Actually Are.
“It’s time to stop acting like these political activists are professionals who do honest journalism. Continuing that pretense is not doing a favor to the public. It’s not true.
With very few exceptions, these people are not there to do journalism, and we need to be honest about that with the public. Not everyone is as bad as everyone else, but nearly the entire press corps is somewhere on the Democrat activist scale, from lefty to fringe, from shrewd to clumsy and clownish.”
