Steve Schmidt said this today:

"The extremists are winning though they are not the majority, not even close. The lie stands triumphant against the truth in all quarters of American life and denial is confused for statesmanship and learned perspective."

This is what I think too.

Luke Broadwater of NYT trashing Biden and bothsidesing the documents issue like fury. (Imagine, more facts emerge every day in a breaking case, and that's suspicious.)

Lisa Ruben pushing back with an audibly annoyed voice. Pointing out that CBS broke the story originally, and WH is trying to get ahead of the story with the drizzled news.

But her emails, take 2. Pfff

This poor empty thread. Anyway, a worthy entry.

I am amazed by this masterclass in how to handle Trump surrogates using their appearances on national TV to spread disinformation about fellow journalists—especially your own colleagues—by @kasie. Thank you! This is how it’s fucking done! More of this from the media please!

American Media: Is Biden too old to be president?

What is there to stop tfg from following through on these promises? Nothing. They should be in the news.

what "military tribunal" is he intending to invent, by EO, I guess? The current military justice system does not reside over civilians. Nor does the USMC mention infractions outside of military life.
