Just more lies the Repugnants proliferated to rile up the base. The regime is relying on the fact that the cult doesn't know the difference between communism and socialism. This is why they're frequently throwing "communism" into their talking points lately.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

The Great American State Fair was a diversion, America's 250th birthday was hijacked, and even the fireworks and speech - mostly on July 5th, was a diversion. What would cause such giant diversions? The fact that they're engaged in the largest wealth transfer in history, robbing the country blind.

Is there any doubt that the Trump regime would show us photos or videos of "vandals" attacking the reflecting pool if they had them? And is there any doubt that such a location would have cameras? There's one logical explanation: The regime is defending a stupid lie to soothe the dictator's ego.

That is the distinction bad-faith politics keeps trying to erase. Smith is describing ordinary prosecutorial discipline: facts first, intent second, defenses anticipated. Calling that “weaponization” only works if people ignore the evidence and treat legal accountability as illegitimate.
