Absolutely no way to read this and not conclude that the Department of Justice has been deeply corrupted. And this is from a time when career lawyers were in place, pushing back against illegality. With firings and resignations, the politicization will just get worse.

In the civil rights era, they smeared leaders as “communist” to break their credibility and stall their momentum. It was the easiest way to silence dissent and turn justice movements into supposed security threats.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

TRUMPISM REJECTED IN AUSTRALIA
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been re-elected as his Labor Party surged to victory and is projected to form a majority government. In a historic first, opposition leader Peter Dutton—often likened to Donald Trump—lost his own seat of Dickson.

Excellent point. NewsCorpse, the Murdochracy threw everything at getting Dutton up again, and they failed completely. They no longer matter.
Can we just spare a thought, too, for the official end of News Corp as a political force. No one outside an aging political class pays any attention to them.

So the White House story is now:

The country is now run by thugs and idiots.
