Yes She Can!

A sweet and hopeful song from Will.i.Am.

“Look... If you had... one shot... or one opportunity...
To seize everything you ever wanted... one moment...

The reason our news media is facilitating, rather than fighting, the rise of American fascism is a result of their irrelevance.

“Trump spoke slowly and appeared tired. It was his second stop of the day, and he has picked up the pace of campaigning in recent weeks.”
The reason why the NYT (for example) won't trumpet the comprehensive evidence for Trump's treason presented by Jack Smith in the same way (for example) they did the bizarre statement from James Comey is that they don't believe doing so will impact the election. In this way, the GOP and independent voters' believed indifference to Trump's crimes effectively drives their editorial decision-making.
