The press must get across to American citizens the crucial importance of this election and the dangers of a Trump win. They don’t need to surrender their journalistic independence to do so or be “in the tank” for Biden or anyone else.

It’s now clearer than ever that Trump, if elected, will use the federal government to go after his political rivals and critics, even deploying the military toward that end. His allies are hatching plans to invoke the Insurrection Act on day one.

    What’s interesting about this is that when I have made tha assertion that Nazi “free speech” should be removed from the airwaves and highly regulated, I am told that we can’t do that because they might do the same to us if they get power.

    They are going to do that if they get power regardless. The idea is to not allow them to create the conditions to gain power.

    You cannot use “rule of law” arguments against people who do not recognize the rule of law.

    The SCOTUS situation- just like the trump/GOP situation- shows once again that Democrats do not know who they are dealing with, and trying to deal with them defensively and retroactively will fail.
