4. The Republican Party

has gotten a pass in the press in this country since Reagan. They would be perfectly happy with a 100% fascist takeover of this country but they were also smart enough to know that they needed to let the Dems be in charge every once in a while to fix and keep the economy from completely tanking and potentially reducing even their riches. Enough of them have reached the point where they believe that they are immune to economic downturns/collapses that they no longer care. After Miller and McConnell, who should be 1 and 2, I want Musk, Thiel, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Ellison, and every other tech billionaire to at the front of the guillotine line!

5. We should all make it a point to contact the media outlets and complain about that

If they get 10000s of thousands of complaints, maybe they change. The other option is put them out of business but I don’t know that we can put ABC CBS NBC out of business.

they would all just laugh at us being upset at being a sign that they are making great progress in controlling all the rhetoric in the U.S.

the point where it might actually have an impact. Maybe someone who makes the leap of faith that enough Americans actually give enough of a rats ass to participate and make it happen.

Defense Secretary Austin got hospital treatment without notifying the public.

I miss those types of scandals. I can tolerate temporary high egg prices or whatever they claimed Trump was going to fix.

When he pardoned all the violent insurrectionists who threatened the Vice President and members of Congress, desecrated our nation's capitol, and put more than 100 police officers in the hospital.

10. The media has demonstrated what a joke they are

40 years of being labeled the liberal media and they’ve finally fallen in line with the right wing of this country. It’s not just that but what if Biden had been named tens of thousands of times in a child sex traffiking dossier? I mean we had months of reporting on a blow job the president received from a staffer. I mean it comical to think about it now.

11. Everybody knows Trump is deranged.

Additional incidents are just confirmation of the same sad story. There is no element of surprise. A lot of it just looks like bait being thrown out to own the libtards. Reacting to every fresh outrage feels like giving in to being owned by a vindictive bully.
