The media has to be held accountable. They need to have their feet held to the fire.

Shut up slow Joe, the courts and media hand brought this on themselves. Mostly by Colluding with your dumb ass so openly.

Attacks on institutions is what made America great, you dope. "Indepenence" means the people, and when the institutions fail, as they naturally do from time to time, it is up to the people to root out the rot.

Dangerous? Sure. But not as dangerous as tolerating the rot.

But attacks on the integrity and legitimacy of the President, the Attorney General, and any Justices or judges nominated by the President are perfectly alright.

That’s Penn, not Penn State.
Penn is an Ivy League school in Philly.
