A presumption of malice

isn't just a runner-up title for a Scott Turow novel

It's how anyone who cares about the truth should regard any statement that comes out of the regime.

It's why now more than ever, regime comments should be served in a @george-lakoff.com Truth Sandwich.
GEORGE LAKOFF’S TRUTH SANDWICH ALWAYS FRAME THE TRUTH FIRST. INDICATE THE LIE AND THE FACT THAT IT’S A LIE. RETURN IMMEDIATELY TO THE TRUTH. THE TRUTH MUST ALWAYS BE REPEATED MORE THAN THE LIE.

The great @george-lakoff.com told us how to process Trump's obvious lies almost a decade ago.

And the press, like a lot of us, refuses to catch up.
4:00 PMA Taxonomy of TRUMP TWEETS 1. PREEMPTIVE FRAMING Be the first to frame an issue EXAMPLE: The hacking of the DNC was the DNC's fault and Democrats lost by a wide margin. (when in fact it was one of the narrowest margins in US history) JAN 7 @realDonaldTrump Only reason the hacking of the poorly defended DNC is discussed is that the Dems have lost by the Dems was so big that they are totally embarrassed! 2. DIVERSION Divert attention from real issues EXAMPLE: Divert attention away from real issues and Russian hacking and toward Meryl Streep and a photo of Kellyanne's knees JAN 9 @realDonaldTrump Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a... 3. DEFLECTION Attack messenger, change direction EXAMPLE: Attack media in an attempt to erode public trust, Reframe story as "fake news," and establish Trump administration as the only reliable source of truth JAN 11 @realDonaldTrump Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to "leak" into the public. One last shot at me. Are we living in Nazi Germany? 4. TRIAL BALLOON Test public reaction EXAMPLE: Test public reaction to nuclear arms escalation. DEC 22 @realDonaldTrump The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes.

They just don't believe in freedom.

The best case for the Cold War is that everyone would choose to be free if they could. And what we offered instead was our rigged form of freedom.

All Miller believes in is America as a manifest destiny manifester that exists simply to put rich whitey on top.

Democrats look at their lead in the generic ballot blow up at the precise moment they refused to help fund the Trump regime's attacks on the Constitution and say, "Better not do that again!"

Anat Shenker-Osorio 18h Words to Win By Dictators are bad whether homegrown or foreign. Whether you’re in Caracas or Tegucigalpa, Kyiv or Chicago, people should have leaders who represent our interests not those of billionaires bankrolling our destruction. Only the many can take on and bring down the money.

What people (yes, Dem leaders but more friends and family) say about this criminal attack will matter a lot because the voters who end up deciding elections don't know what to think.

I think a winning message is, "We don't want dictators anywhere—in Caracas, Kyiv, Moscow, or DC."

So the argument is we get to invade Venezuela for acting like Russia while we reward Russia for acting like Russia.
Edward Helmore At a year-end State Department press conference, secretary Rubio pointed to US complaints and goals regarding Maduro and Venezuela. He said: We have a regime that’s illegitimate that cooperates with Iran, that cooperates with Hezbollah, that cooperates with narco-trafficking and narco-terrorist organizations inclusive, not just protecting their shipments and allowing them to operate with impunity, but also allows some of them to control territory, the ELN and the FARC-D. They have open camps that they control territory inside of Venezuela. That is our national interest, and that is what this is focused on. That’s what we have been focused on the entire time, because that is the threat to the national interest of the United States. Do we consider Maduro legitimate? No. (But) it’s not me, a grand jury in New York in the southern district of New York was presented evidence and came back with an indictment, not just against Maduro, by the way, but against a bunch of people in his government, for narco-trafficking.

Maduro should insist on being tried in Palm Beach.
US attorney general confirms Maduro will face criminal charges after indictment in New York US Attorney General Pam Bondi says deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, will face criminal charges after an indictment in New York. Bondi vowed in a social media post that the couple will “soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts”. Maduro was indicted in 2020 in New York, but it was not previously known that his wife had been.

Good news, everyone. We can relax. The oil is fine.
4m ago 11.34 GMT Venezuelan state-run energy company PDVSA’s oil production and refining were normal on Saturday and its most important facilities had suffered no damage from US attacks to extract President Nicolás Maduro according to an initial assessment, two sources with knowledge of the company’s operations told Reuters. The port of La Guaira near capital Caracas, one of the country’s largest but one which is not used for oil operations, was reported to have sustained severe damage, one of the sources said.

You're going to be seeing a lot of this deranged Trump clip from 2023:

He says we should have toppled Venezuela and taken the oil, which is terrible, terrible oil and will pollute the hell out of us.
