The announcement that the Pentagon is going to live stream the firing squad execution of Nidal Malik Hasan needs to be understood in the context of the state-sponsored bloodlust for their chief enemies: Muslims and alleged socialists.

The amount of money the administration is promising in order to buy votes is significantly less than the amount of money it is taking away in programs and services. And it's OUR money!

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Enten: "President Trump has the highest strongly disapprove rating going into a midterm election on record. 50% of Americans now say that they strongly disapprove of the job he's doing. The previous record was Trump going into 2018 ... just 18% strongly approve of the job Trump is doing."

“All the people mocking Trump’s address because his claims were ludicrous (they were) are completely missing the point. He was not aiming at evidence-based voters. It was a call to arms for the kind of people who stormed the Capitol on J6 so when he brings in extreme measures(…) they will be ready…”
