The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates.
DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

Also, by their own standards, the cops protecting the Capitol on Jan 6 should have opened fire all over.

After Columbine I thought we would move heaven and earth to prevent mass shootings.
We did nothing and now they are almost a daily occurrence.
Today we watched an ICE thug brutally murder an American citizen in cold blood. A young mother.
If we do nothing this too will become a daily occurrence.

This is what state-regime media looks like.
CBS News ran a segment gushing over Rubio — calling this his “moment" and saying: “Florida, once an American punchline, has become a leader on the world stage. Marco Rubio, we salute you! You are the ultimate Florida Man!”

January 6th participant: January 6th was an insurrection. I broke the law. Police officers were assaulted that day. I point the finger to Trump.
Rep. Correa: So this really happened. This was an assault on our democracy, on our Capitol.

Just because you can make an analogy doesn’t mean it’s a good one…
Tom Cotton: "Congress isn't notified when the FBI is going to arrest a drug trafficker or cyber criminal here in the US, nor should Congress be notified when the executive branch is executing arrests on indicted persons. And that's really what you can make the analogy to here."

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.
