Just heard a newscast on WAMU in DC. In a chipper tone, the host said that Trump believed that the Dem video was treasonous and punishable by death.
Then he moved to the weather: “It’s gonna be in the upper 60s today. That’s not normal.”
The weather got a comment but not the insane Trump threat!?

With the results of today’s election, you’d think the president was historically unpopular.

So apparently the Jan 6 Insurrectionists all have their FUTURE scrubbed as well.
Two federal prosecutors were placed on leave after seeking a stiff sentence for a Jan. 6 defendant who had been granted clemency and later appeared armed outside the home of former President Barack Obama.

And how about the word "bribe"? Can the legacy media also call these things "secret bribes" immediately, please? Do your jobs!

Over the last few years I have been profoundly disappointed in the lukewarm, middling, false equivalence of the The New York Times. And now we learn that TIME can be roundly ignored, as well. Oligarchic toadies control what we read, see and hear! Verify, vet, beware!
For those of you wondering why Trump graced the cover of Time this week, be aware that the magazine is owned by a human slug named Marc Benioff, who just called for the National Guard to invade San Francisco.
For those of you unaware that Time was still being published, you’re not alone.

I heard that the plaque from Alzheimer’s is an inflamatory response to a virus and that the shingles vaccine greatly reduces the chances of getting the disease.
Don’t know if that’s true, but the vaccine is effective against shingles so I’m gonna get it anyway.
