There is no low bar that they won't slither under. In the first term some of the secretaries had lines they wouldn't cross. There are no lines now. Trump tells them to dance like a monkey and they won't even skip a beat.
Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse." theatln.tc/wVq7MFaa

Straight Cringe. OMG. Like it's totally whack.
“Straight cringe” and it’s about the state smearing a murdered person as a terrorist.

Went outside to see how conditions were in the front, and I heard a loud snap in the back, top of a tree cracked, popped and fell just missing the backside of our back fence. This shit is nerve wracking.

“Outside agitators” is older than Putin; I am begging white people to crack open a history book about Black Americans for once
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Rahm’s anti-left views are held by many center-left elites in media and politics. And he is pretending to run for president in 2028 (doubt he actually runs because he knows his odds are very low.) So interviewing him can be framed as “news” and he bluntly makes anti-left points centrists agree with.
Stop trying to make Rahm Emanuel happen. It’s not going to happen.
Trump is unpopular, but how do Democrats frame their arguments for a comeback?

Just a reminder that Bovino IS NOT a political appointee. He is just a regular government employee. Yet he acts as if he can not and will not ever face personal consequences for any federal or state crime he is involved in. He attacks democratic politicians. Again. Not allowed. But here we are.
BASH: Where did he assault an officer? It looked to us that he was approached by them when he was helping another individual who was pushed down
BOVINO: We don't need a suspect's help in a law enforcement scene
BASH: So when somebody is pushed down, you stand back?
BOVINO: Follow directions

"bearing witness to events" literally just means recording what is happening so it cannot be elided or erased in the future, it does not mean you are required to watch execution videos as some duty, stop letting people who don't understand words tell you what to do
