This is CBS’s total surrender to Big Brother. George Orwell and Edward R. Murrow would weep. We all should. What will we see ABC and NBC do?
A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.
This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

Green Dildo Coin. An amount spent on masked thugs and themed concentration camps that could house and feed every homeless person in America. Cage fights on a paved-over White House lawn. It really all boils down to losers who want to replace our society with a different one that just fucking sucks.

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

Every Democrat from Biden to Congress should've been immediately demanding that Trump be prosecuted for the Jan 6 attack and his coup attempt. Instead they wanted to avoid "politicizing" the issue. The lesson going forward is if a Democrat won't take the fight to the GOP, we must replace the person!

The Politics of Fear
As a Presidential candidate, Donald Trump made his world view plain: there was “us” and there was “them.” Once he was in the White House, the fear factor would prevail.

“if you just ignore the raging grease fire and toxic black mold then this restaurant is michelin starred”
Hassett says the economy is good if you just ignore the jobs report: "While the jobs numbers had this big kind of mysterious revision, if they didn't have the revision, then the jobs numbers were fully consistent with the 3% GDP growth we also saw last week."
