Nothing to see here. Just Trump bragging about violating the First Amendment.

This is everything

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation.

But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.

But now, everyone is addicted to easily manipulated social & mainstream media.....and the richest parasites on earth control the algorithm.
Even if you don't believe a word, everyone else does!
And they will not listen to you tell the truth because they're embarassed they fell for it.

So this ignorant tyrant with his buddy Bibi starts a Middle East war. No plan. No consultation with allies. A dozen conflicting justifications, all of them lies. Kills hundreds of people. Or more. Spikes oil prices. Crashes markets. And now he expects the rest of us to just bail them out?

Some years ago (when this joke was more current) I pitched a TV sitcom about a grammarian shacked up with a copy editor. I called it Will & Shall.

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.

@abbyphillip00.bsky.social JHFC Scott Jennings is a smug, ignorant, rude fool. He contributes nothing to your panel. @cnn.com do us all a favor and fire him.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.
