After all the campaign speculation we are seeing, eyes wide open, a bloodless coup overtaking the us government.

We need, especially the media, to start using language which accurately reflects what is happening. This is nothing short of a purge of any perceived enemy or opponent of Trump. Any student of history knows how this can end. Let's start calling it what it is - overthrowing democratic institutions.

If the media needs a guide right now, go back and look how reporters/editors/media companies covered the criminal President Nixon. Imagine if Katherine Graham had said we need to be quiet, we need to settle law suits. Go back and look at the clips, watch Walter Cronkite protect our democracy

Well that’s reassuring and illegal

Tulsi Gabbard's views on Russia shaped in part by Kremlin propaganda outlet, ex-aides say Former aides of Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump's pick for director of national intelligence, say her views on Russia may have been shaped by consuming Kremlin propaganda.

Putin Out for the Kremlin?

“Gabbard's messaging has at times aligned so closely with Kremlin talking points that at least one commentator on Kremlin state media has referred to her as ‘Russia's girlfriend.’”

Wait. She lied? Doesn’t Fox News have a problem with that this week?

And that’s saying something

At all surprised by another manufactured narrative created by the right wing and willingly and hungrily parroted by the msm?

The insider DC sheets keep running articles about Democrats bewailing Bidens pardon. I’m able to keep a pretty close tabs on the opinions of engaged Democrats via emails to TPM. And the actual opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of the decision. In fact, more or less universal support.

This guy worked for State Dept for ~2 months. He has no inside knowledge of anything he talks about, even as he claims he ‘watched a censorship regime grow from the inside.’ It’s all bullshit. And the absolute credulity displayed by Rogan here is why commentary & journalism aren’t the same.

Resistance HQ Bulletin 17, 12/3/24 … The Pete Hegseth nomination is in trouble, with two other Trump nominees already dropping out.

Resistance HQ Bulletin 17, 12/3/24. This one is jam packed with everything you need to know about what happened on a very busy day of political maneuvering by people in both parties. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

This is controversial, it IS extreme, and we will fight this tooth and nail.

Fuck this bullshit.

Tweey from state Rep. Josh Schriver: Make day marriage illegal again. This is not remotely controversial, nor extreme.

A judge in Dane County, Wisconsin overturned the state's conservative-backed law (championed by Scott Walker) that banned most collective bargaining among public employees.

Judge Jacob Frost said part of the law "violates the right to equal protection of the laws." www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

Official order signed by judge in Delaware:

"IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that pursuant to the Executive Grant of Clemency signed by Pres. Joseph R. Biden, Jr. on Dec. 1, 2024, Defendant Robert Hunter Biden has been pardoned for, inter alia, the offenses for which a jury rendered a verdict in this case"

I expect the media to provide similar scrutiny to Don jr, Eric and Ivanka’s biz deals like with Hunter. Wait. Who am I kidding?

The Storybook Start—and Bitter End—of Pete Hegseth’s First Marriage The defense secretary nominee’s first marriage, which sources say met a contentious end after he admitted to multiple infidelities, holds a key place in his ambition-fueled rise.

"“Pete said he no longer believed in God and family values. He claimed he no longer wanted to seek the limelight. He said, and this quote is as clear as day, ‘I’m a fucked up individual.’”

No amount of media brainwash in the world could ever make me hope that Zelensky triumphs over an orthodox Russia. Spiritually, I just know that's wrong. You simply do not support a homosexual actor that is locking up churches and bishops.

Homosexual actor?!?!

How to cope with an increasingly turbulent world?

Currently, I'm cuddling with Mabel & avoiding reality entirely.
