I used to think Republicans fell in line because they feared Trump would attack them in a primary election. Now, I realize it's much worse. They are physically afraid of Trump's supporters and the risk of violence.

The U.S. justice and political systems have shown that they can’t hold the president and his allies to account for trying to steal the 2020 election.

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.
I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.

I don’t know how we’re supposed to expect members if the military to know the difference between a lawful and an unlawful order when military bases have spent 20 years pumping them full of FOX News propaganda.

People get tired of hearing it, but I don’t care because it should be repeated incessantly: if Obama or Biden or Kamala had openly called for the execution of political opponents, the reaction of the NYT would have been *cataclysmic*. The earth would quake with their outrage & disdain.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

In a rebuke to Trump, Democrat Abigail Spanberger wins Virginia’s gubernatorial race, becoming the state’s first woman governor. Her support for constitutional amendments on redistricting and voting rights restoration could make it easier to pass both measures.

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.
