I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

Russia is prepared to confirm in a legal agreement that it has no intention of attacking the European Union or NATO. This was stated by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov on Monday.
Sometimes something unplanned happens.
Some agreements are not worth the paper they are written on.

His entire rant had to be fact-checked to see if there was any truth in anything he ranted about.
As usual, if his mouth is moving, he's lying.

Remember, even if Trump preemptively pardons everyone, including himself, almost every crime was committed in a state jurisdiction. They can still be prosecuted.

"If the standard for airing a story becomes, 'the government must agree to be interviewed,' then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from being an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state."

#GVerse This is the 60 minutes preview for its episode canceled without explanation but undoubtedly because the government censors don't want you to hear about it.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Trump is no longer making any pretense of sanctioning firms supplying the Russian military. He is shifting the US position steadily to a pro-Russian position, including support for Russian military operations in Ukraine.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.
