What's next? Dragging people through tax audits for allowing a relative to sleep in their spare bedroom?

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

Because the USA, even under Trump, is aligned with her against the current regime.

She needs Trump as an ally and not a vindictive adversary.

I wish somebody would pay me $150 million dollars to hate my job for a few years.

That's the kind of "regret" I'm talking about!

That's a thing you eventually figure out in life: there are some people who are incapable of telling the truth and some of these defective humans thrive and prevail.

A lot of them voted for Nixon.

Instead of imagining it I would like to read some journalists asking actual WWII vets what they think of Trump and all this shit.

2/2 But this sort of thinking is dangerously close to the notion that the way to topple Putin was to get the oligarchs to revolt and do the work for us.

The people wearing the frog costumes in Portland need more attention from our electeds.

1/2 The Dems are doing something in their comfort zone: directing aspects of taxing and spending toward insurance companies and care providers in a way that is a win-win for a sector of voters.

They think they will win because powerful corporations have their backs.

A federal judge has ordered that ICE cannot use rubber bullets or other “less lethal ammo” directly on protesters at the Broadview ICE facility.

Good.

Now arrest and charge the agents who shot the priest in the head and the woman in her car.

Stop letting them get away with it.
