Lock Him Up!
I’m taking this outright from Eschaton, and only adding one note below.
Lock Him Up!
The thing about Trump is that he will say anything and do anything, and he will also try to get his followers to do anything. He essentially tried to overthrow the government of the United States. He’s a criminal on many levels. But we’ve convinced ourselves that if even if he’s not legitimate, we have to pretend he’s legitimate to placate his supporters. This is because Republicans, on top of all their other structural advantages, have performed an ideological trick on the entire country where they always an have extra little bit of Americanness: even when in the minority, they have a special something that makes it wrong to cross them. They are the “real Americans,” after all. It’s really an amazing feat, the political version of a small animal that has evolved to puff itself to appear intimidating.
It’s a con they’ve pulled on the easiest marks in the country – political journalists and prominent pundits.
To the list of “the easiest marks in the country – political journalists and prominent pundits” I’d add centrist/moderate Dems.
Definitely add the “centrist” Dems to the list, sadly Coons is not the only one talking about his “good friends in the Republican party” and pretending bipartisanship is possible when one side has declared war decades ago.
Too many political reporters that do nothing. The National Security reporters have missed every important story an never write about what’s really important.
The Wagner Group is seldom mentioned by our press. They are a National Security issue. The EU gives reports about them. If it wasn’t for the Wagner Group, Putin wouldn’t have infiltrated Ukraine so easely. And the American press never mentions this > https://www.irishcentral.com/opinion/niallodowd/right-wing-catholics-control-us-supreme-court
The corporate press seems as if they are afriad to say anything. But Opis Dei a secret right wing Group a National Security issue.
