What accounts for phrasing like this?

If any other president in modern times had signed an executive order libelling a DC law firm as an enemy of the state, the headlines would be about how he’s a fucking lunatic, the courts were sure to slap him down, and his cabinet was reacting with horror.
President Donald Trump targeted another elite law firm that has represented clients he considers his political enemies, sending a forceful message that he is willing to punish firms who work for people or groups that oppose his administration’s agenda.
Trump expands retribution campaign against law firms that aided his foes
Trump hit another major law firm that worked for his political rivals with an executive order seeking to limit its ability to work for the U.S. government.

And it happens again!

SEVERAL Republicans cross the aisle, vote against a bill that would remove trans kids from their parents.

They do so even after another Republican threatens them with primaries.

AOC: It's really because Republicans— they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

this is genuinely shocking. this is a very particular strain of american nazi shit - this isn’t a conspiracy theory that exists outside of that belief system. this is not something you would say if you aren’t well versed in neonazi talking points.
Kingsley Wilson, the newly-appointed DoD Deputy Press Secretary, believes in a thoroughly-debunked antisemitic conspiracy theory. I've mostly only seen this theory promoted by mask-off neo-Nazis.

There it is. Literally saying the US and Russia are working together to take away the independence of another country.

I'm wondering if any of our press is gonna pick this one up? Seems like headline material?

David Sacks--Trump's "Crypto Czar"--raised millions of dollars for Trump during the election & now gets his payback.

This is the most blatant, "in-your-face" corruption I've ever seen. If it were Russia or some developing country, it wouldn't be a surprise.

But this is America & it's truly sad.

Part of how we're rushing toward the abyss - the lawbreaking is so widespread that they may be unwilling to relinquish power voluntarily for fear of (rightfully) facing prosecution
Garry Kasparov is right, I’m afraid: they are breaking everything so quickly even though it’s unpopular, because they never expect to face real elections again.
