I thought this was a really interesting and thoughtful explanation and analysis of the election.
Type Ashton has really good content IMHO.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

America really does have a five‑alarm fire in the White House: a president who openly says the only authority that can stop him is “my own morality. My own mind,” while standing on a record of criminal convictions, financial scams, and armed resource grabs abroad

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Ah well. Can't disagree here really. Americans did vote for masked agents of the state to kill innocent people, whether they understood that at the time or not. Too bad they didn't listen to anyone who tried to explain it to them bsky.app/profile/atru...

If we had a normal President, he'd express human decency and offer condolences for the MURDERED U.S. citizen under his watch.
Instead, we get a paragraph of propaganda and excuses that put the blame on the victim – a tactic Trump has used on women for decades.
Disgusting.

I just looked at the new white house website for January 6th.
That is some real distopian north Korean level shit.
I don't think there's anything on that website that's even slightly true.
It makes me sick to look at.

For the millionth time, why do legitimate news organizations continue to send reporters to these unhinged propaganda dumps? If a source lies to you, you stop using that source. Period. There is simply no reason to be in that room, and continuing to be there is legitimizing their dishonesty.
Leavitt: "The WH relished the opportunity yesterday to actually create a new website to share the facts with the American public, but also all those in this room. We knew the media would be covering January 6 quite a bit b/c they think it's something the American people still believe their lies on"

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
