For people who promised to fix things on "Day 1," the Trumpers spend a lot of time blaming a guy who hasn't been president for 10 months.

That old metaphor about the frog and the boiling water isn’t true: If you put a frog in a pot of water and slowly raise the heat, the frog will jump out before it gets boiled to death.

This is a bullshit headline in the New York Times. There’s no “uprising” in Chicago. Rather, Chicagoans are peacefully defending themselves against ICE violence. Use of the term “uprising“ is just what the Trump regime wants to excuse a further fascist crackdown in Chicago.

Why won’t the media say Trump is becoming a dictator?
Because corporate media don't see profit in telling that truth.
