This is connected to the Schmitt debacle from earlier - the Republican Party now talks only to itself using language that only they employ, everyone else is expected to follow along or have the power of the state come down on them

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

Trump last week touted "one of the Biggest and Most Beautiful Events to take place in many years, the arrival at the White House of the Highly Respected President of China, Xi Jinping, and his beautiful wife, Madam Peng." The U.S. switched sides.

"Was Trump’s call for MAGA voters to cheat in the midterms another mere trigger-the-libs comment? Maybe. But this is the same Trump who in an infamous call in January 2, 2021, asked Brad Raffensberger to 'find' 11,780 votes — one more than his deficit to Joe Biden in the state’s popular vote."

By Dan Lamothe and Noah Robertson
Days before the Army’s top officer was abruptly fired earlier this year, he was advised by a fellow general now vying to replace him to stop the military’s investigation into an unauthorized helicopter flyby of musician Kid Rock’s Tennessee estate, three people familiar with the matter said.

Gen. Randy George, whom Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth removed as the Army chief of staff without explanation, felt it was important to follow typical protocol and determine whether any safety regulations had been violated during the March 28 flyby, these people said. Like some others, they spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the episode.

Gen. Chris LaNeve, the Army’s No. 2 officer, told George that Hegseth did not want the investigation to proceed, one person said. The two others said that George later confided in colleagues that he seemed troubled by the encounter with LaNeve, who suggested it would be best if the review was scuttled.
