Trump’s military occupation of American cities is unpopular. The media is trying to manufacture consent for it.

Donald Trump’s military assault on America’s cities has been denounced by legal and national security experts as an “authoritarian power grab” that is “dangerous for liberty” and “an absolute seizing control of our country through our own military used against us” in an attempt to “dominate” the American

So true. I've enjoyed #NewsNation a bit more than Dennis shares in his @ofb story (#LelandVittert, #ChrisStirewalt and #ChrisCuomo do a good job of offering sensible takes, especially with great guests like #GeorgeWill and #ChrisCillizza), but the critique of the #CableNews genre is so true. https://ofb.biz/sa1329

For being as young as it is, all-news television has been through a lot of changes, most of them for the worse.

Excellent piece on #Harris and this press corps. Props to #JohnStoehr for calling out #ChrisCillizza's mediocrity and bad faith: "But after this press corps made a fetish of Biden’s age, I don’t see any more room for the benefit of the doubt – and there’s no going back. This press corps made the election about vibes and it’s going to remain an election about vibes, and if those vibes now grind against the instincts of this press corps, tough shit. You reap what you sow."

Good one!

“After he finished his State of the Union address on Thursday night, President Joe Biden waded into the crowd of Democratic elected officials who wanted to glad-hand with him.

He was almost immediately greeted by longtime New York Rep. Jerry Nadler, who told Biden proudly: “Nobody’s gonna talk about cognitive impairment now.”

To which the president responded jokingly: “I kinda wish sometimes I was cognitively impaired.”

Which pretty nicely sums up the night!”

Joe Biden absolutely nailed it

Take that, haters.

So What

Pathetic: Mitch McConnell Bends the Knee

“Less than 24 hours after #DonaldTrump swept to a series of victories across the nation on #SuperTuesday, #MitchMcConnell formally bent the knee to the de facto nominee.

“It is abundantly clear that former President #Trump has earned the requisite support of #Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States,” #McConnell said in a statement announcing the endorsement. “It should come as no surprise that as nominee, he will have my support.”

Mitch McConnell just did the most predictable thing ever

He's for Trump!

So What

😳 Mission Accomplished: #NikkiHaley loses to ‘no one’ 😳

No fighting with the #RepublicanCult!

“In #Nevada’s no-delegate primary, 63 percent of #Republican voters chose “None of These Candidates” over #Haley, who received 31 percent while a smattering of other also-rans received token support, as did a few zombie candidates who dropped out long ago.”

“State lawmakers initially approved the inclusion of “None of these candidates” as a way for voters to express their dissatisfaction with their options. Mission accomplished!”
