    the… remarkable… thing about this is the Trump administration probably thinks they’re winning this.

      Well…they kind of are. We are not seeing the kind of push and pull we saw last time trump was in office. We’re not really seeing the compounding buffoonery and constant chaos of an evil yet highly disorganized and stupid and largely solitary extremist right wing government.

      We are seeing a largely accepted—if nothing else, ignored—well-funded, focused group of absolute death mongers who are powering this much larger boat with trump as the flag on top, but an elite crew of Chistofascists turning coal (yes, it’s a coal powered boat) into much more precise and damaging takeover of every single lever of power. And this is just one in a fleet of these types of ships taking off all around the world. This far right surge is not an isolated thing. This is happening worldwide and they are fucking ready to put their plans into action.

      While we all took four years to decompress, they were becoming a much more ruthless and serious fascist machine. They are primed to make some scary moves and they don’t have nearly the amount of big dollar pushback and spotlight on them. They are manipulating the spotlight to focus on flashy trump nonsense while some truly fiendish motherfuckers are doing everything they can to fuck things up christofascismo style.

      Be very much more worried about things that aren’t the “gulf of America.”

    Good. There’s just about nothing useful that comes from the White House press brief. It’s all propaganda as far as the eye can see.

    If the other serious media have integrity, they should also remove themselves from any official event in the name of free speech (and future protection as that could happen to them later).

    This is the only way to treat this kind of dangerous behavior.

    There’s a video where the press secretary basically says they will ban everybody that is telling ‘lies’. I didn’t know that asking questions as the press could now be considered lies but here we are. What a timeline we ended up in.

    The same administration that was claiming that Europe is stifling the free speech. What hypocritics
