I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing.
But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

This is incredible chutzpah when anyone with eyes can look at the video and see that not a word of this is remotely true.
Noem: "What happened was our officers were out trying to get a car stuck out of the snow when they were surrounded and assaulted and blocked in by protesters ... this was an act of domestic terrorism" (It was 40 degrees in Minneapolis yesterday and snow was melting ... )

Democrats should run on the fact that their opposition is literally killing Americans and destroying the country.
It’s not hyperbole. That’s the message they should be blasting out to media every day.

I think we are seeing that the government does believe it has the right to murder US citizens as it sees fit.
If they didn’t, it’d be pretty simple to sacrifice this one agent and go back to kidnapping.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

The word REVISED is an interesting choice below. I’d replace it with “patently false & purposefully deceiving…”
The White House published a website with a revised version of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack. It criticizes Democrats and some Republicans for engaging in what President Trump has called a “witch hunt” against him after the attack.

yes. has been the pattern since his first term but especially starting in the 2024 campaign. as the real trump falters, they hurriedly cut away and replace him in their reporting and discussions with a fictional trump who says and does more reasonable things than the actual man does
This is the wild part about the whole Trump experience, even when he says politically disastrous things, reporters rush in to fill in the blanks and steelman his arguments. As soon as they cut away from him saying “we’ll run it,” they cut to someone saying “obviously he didn't mean that.”
