“Too many Americans have absorbed & tolerate Trump’s insane, destructive behavior as a fact of life…the corporate media has facilitated that mentality…we are facing a constitutional emergency with an exec branch working to centralize its power at all costs.” www.americaamerica.news/p/we-are-und...

We Are Under Attack From an Enemy Within
By listening to our founders and refusing to go along with this, we can name and defeat the ongoing danger to our constitutional republic

It's a scandal that the president of the United States is out of his damn mind. It's also a scandal that major news media aren't telling you that, loudly and often.

I assume what AP means is: "Lies about noncitizen voting are being used by Trump to attack elections his party is set to lose and to set up an authoritarian effort to overturn the results" If so, they should just say that.

This is great, but local news will never show this clip. It will never reach MAGA voters. Local news is regurgitating administration propaganda pretending Trump cares about the Americans he sent to die.

Take note, Republicans. Lindsey gave this miserable piece of trash ten years of his life, sold his soul and licked boot for ten years, and the only thing Trump has to say about him now that he's gone is that he just made it harder to rig the midterms. You're selling everything to get nothing.

McCarthy Wrote It. Cohn Taught It. Trump Is Running It Again, Right in Front of You.
Roy Cohn taught one man to destroy people with a single word. On the Fourth of July, that man stood in front of the flag and used it on his own country.

100%. Anyone paying close attention knows it. The insurrection that began in secret meetings in Washington in December 2020, some of them at the White House, never ended—it merely amended its methods. For now. But not for much longer.
