    It has started. Pretext to authoritarianism: Trump demands Republicans ‘kill’ the bipartisan bill that would give journalists greater protections. More authoritarian insanity and destruction likely!

    If you were an alleged pedophile and criminal, how much would you do to keep the job that keeps you out of harm's way the most - and he has already teamed up with overly religious people (which normally would be the last road people would want to go downpaint_help) - That's the question we see being reenacted over there.

    It is often less painful to accept a comfortable lie than to face a harsh, inconvenient truth. Admitting that a fundamental part of your understanding is based on a falsehood creates mental and emotional turmoil, a phenomenon known as cognitive dissonance. 

    When people have been misled about something important, their ego feels threatened. Admitting they were fooled can feel like admitting they were foolish, which is a painful experience that damages their self-perception.

    The Supreme Court declined Monday to take up an appeal from Laura Loomer, the prominent far-right influencer and ally of [the fascist/CONVICTED FELON] who sued social media companies for yanking her off their platforms.

    In first term, Trump promised to be the greatest job creation president.  Instead US became worse off as economy lost millions of jobs.  Now the anarchist wants to fire as many federal workers as possible to pay for tax cuts of billionaires.

    MSNBC reports that Fox news and virtually all news organizations reject defense secretary illegal demand to restrict press freedom.  Control of media and war against truth are among characteristics of fascism.

    Exactly, only one small far-right media 'One America News' agrees with Hegseth’s demand. Even Fox News and Newsmax reject the attack on free speech.

    And a New York Times report on Tuesday revealed his federal prosecutor in the Western District of Virginia was also forced out under similar circumstances.

    @unplucked_gem  "grand jury indictments"

    Usually easier for prosecutor to get an indictment from grand jury instead of conviction from trial jury.  Grand jury of random voters can be biased. ignorant of the law and directed by prosecutor.  However prosecutors are more objective and normally don't prosecute weak cases because they don't want to waste time losing in court.

    Sometimes random people just aren't the answer....like, should a voter have to be of right frame of mind to vote? I mean, just because you can vote does that mean you should? Or, should there be a level of intelligence involved to know that you can make well thought out informed decisions, such as the case of what you speak of in your post?

     

    An interesting debate if you ask me.

    American foreign service association reports 98% of US foreign diplomats have low morale.   Nearly 30% of diplomats have considered quitting and 80% say actions by Trump administration affected their ability to fulfill job responsibilities.  Budget cuts and sweeping layoffs weaken foreign relations.  Many countries lost respect for the US.  Under Trump administration, problem is that career federal workers are replaced by unqualified people based on loyalty instead of competence or merit.  Survey of historians rank Trump as the worst president in executive appointments.

    Myth is that capitol police deliberately opened doors and allowed rioters to enter.  Fact is rioters smashed through doors and windows while outnumbered police tried their best to deescalate violence.  Over 600 rioters were charged with assaulting or obstructing law enforcement.  Over 140 police officers were injured by weapons.
