"I can’t speak to what lurks in the hearts of political reporters and editors, but one has to wonder why there isn’t more coverage about Trump musing about sentencing the nation’s highest ranking general to death than, say, the age of the current president…

Oddly, Trump’s dangerous rant was not treated as the major news it absolutely should have been."

Let’s Not Sleepwalk Into Another Donald Trump Presidency

The GOP front-runner’s “treason” talk makes clear, yet again, that he’s a danger to democracy.

A really random thought from one who so far only occasionally posts here. It seems like there is an ethos of reposting to boost but not ‘liking’. I’m only a rare reposter, but I think liking is great because it shows interest and that one isn’t just posting into the void. I really don’t care much about boosting, but I don’t mind likes (or whatever the star is called) and will probably use that function more than repost on any social media platform, including this one.

playing on the main stage, the young woman on right was one of 3 finalists in the #RockyGrass #Banjo Contest (young woman accompanying on left is her sister and a Guitar Contest finalist) ~ 15 and 18 years old respectively...

most incredibly the 15-year-old WON the contest ~ afterwards staff were researching if she may be the youngest winner in history of this prestigious contest ~ many winners of RockyGrass band/instrument contests go on to be huge in #bluegrass ~ she is gonna be a star 🪕⭐️

What seems like a more dangerous precedent to set?

—Prosecuting a former president

—Letting a former president avoid accountability for allegedly stealing classified documents and then conspiring to obstruct the government's efforts to retrieve them

Lol, true.

#Trump saying "DOJ is not coming just after me, they are coming after you," only makes sense if you have intentionally taken nuclear and military secrets and obstructed justice. Unless that applies to you, you can relax! #TrumpIndictment

Imagine how corrupt you have to be as a Republican Attorney General to get impeached by a Republican legislature in TEXAS
