Wonder why that is.

Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God we have video, because according to DHS, these seven heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them or something. It's nonsense, people. It's nonsense and it is lies."

Hereβs the angle from the woman in the pink-red jacket
Pritzker: "An American president should be standing up, calling for calm. That's not what this president ever does. In fact, he wants the temperature to go up. Why? Because what he's looking for is an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, to bring actual troops into American cities."
So the βeveryone should be armedβ second amendment crowd is using the fact the a man was armed (maybe) as justification?
Is this right?
COLBERT, on the so-called βBoard of Peaceβ:
β.. Paying a billion dollars to obey Donald Trump seems a little steep. After all, CBS got to do it for just 16 million."

Trump seems to be threatening to NATO because he didnβt get the Nobel Peace Prize (which he misspells). Of a piece with reports that he refuses to back Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corinna Machado because she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize he wanted.
Oh.
Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

We wanted to understand how regular Americans feel about the Trump administration. So we talked to three Russia-funded content farmers at a tea house in Islamabad.
COLLINS: Today you pardoned the founded of Binance. Can you explain why you did that?
TRUMP: Which one was that?
COLLINS: The founder of Binance
TRUMP: I believe we're talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people. I don't know. He was recommended by a lot of people.

Hey, remember when Elon Musk was going save hundreds of billions of dollars by revoking Social Security benefits for dead people? Didn't happen, because hardly any dead people were getting Social Security. Instead, there's been a big *increase* in Social Security recipients since Musk's DC stint.
No one is above the law, except for every single Republican politician and activist convicted of a crime over the last decade because Trump has pardoned all of them or commuted their sentences.
So when grand juries indict Trump, that is Biden βweaponizing the justice systemβ despite the fact that he said nothing about it. When Trump demands an indictment & appoints his personal lawyer to get it after his first MAGA appointee refused, that is βhow our system works.β bsky.app/profile/atru...
