Trump shares fault for any National Guardsmen injured or killed in his op. He’s inviting murderers & terrorists to attack military personnel by making them highly visible targets in public streets, the guard should have never been used as props for the regime’s political optics.

National Security is at a record low for the United States, from leaks in the White House by foreign intelligence to FBI agents being used as personal bodyguards for a clubbing podcaster’s honeypot girlfriend. This regime is dismantling public safety and trust.

Democrats immediately express their sympathy for the victims and their families.
Republicans immediately spread conspiracy theories to blame Democrats for the shooting.
Anyone still believe both parties are the same?

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

We always look back at how overboard the NYT went on Hillary's emails, but I think it's also informative how underboard they went on Access Hollywood tape. The very first story led with his apology, as if that was more important than the existence of the tape itself.
