Why would #Trump and his allies say such blatantly #racist things? Because they’re selling #racism, and if they’re too subtle, their racist followers won’t get the message. Because racists aren’t bright.
Is US legacy journalism failing democracy?
"we should never forget that when Trump called for “termination” of the #constitution , the Times put it on Page 13."

#Republicans love doing interviews. But they hate answering questions.
That was evident last week when #DonaldTrump appeared before #Black journalists and was asked about his past #racist behavior. His response: “I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner.”

The answer is obvious. A #Republican president armed with #immunity would be a #dictator.
#Vote against all Republicans to save our country.

* Got us into a disastrous #war in #Iraq by lying about #WeaponsOfMassDestruction.
#GOP presidents did these things without #immunity. Now that the #SupremeCourt has provided that – turning the president into a #king – would you expect #Republicans to act better or even worse?

The #NewYorkTimes faced blowback Thursday from outraged #journalists who argued a new editorial irresponsibly, and incorrectly, cast former President #DonaldTrump as an "outlaw hero."
Former #ChicagoTribune editor #MarkJacob was among those who took to X to share his disgust with #AmericanConservative contributing editor #MatthewSchmitz's editorial, entitled "Trump Embraces Lawlessness, but in the Name of a Higher Law," published by the Times Thursday.

If this was a functioning #democracy, we wouldn’t be waiting for 2 #justices who took secret gifts from #billionaires and 3 others appointed by a criminal to tell us whether it’s OK for the president to murder his rivals.

...[Fox] has taken advantage of the transparency in court proceedings to turn the jurors into targets.
With no evidence, #Fox host #JesseWatters accused Trump’s opponents last week of “trying to rig this jury” by installing “undercover liberal activists” as jurors. Then, in an apparent violation of a #GagOrder, #Trump shared Watters’ reckless accusation on his #TruthSocial account, deepening the damage.

#KatiePhang, host of #MSNBC 's #KatiePhangShow, earlier today:
On his way out of court Trump is asked by #media if he will testify and he answers: “Yes.”
#MarkJacob, former editor at the #ChicagoTribune and the #SunTimes, quips:
There’s no way Trump will testify. His lawyers would tackle him before he got to the #witness stand.
Me: Fuck, I would PAY to see that, lolol
