Yes, but look at what they are reporting:

Trump releasing supposed “narco terrorists” to avoid having to prove their lies in a court of law.

Impending war in Venezuela

Missiles over CA freeways

Shameless Santos pardon

$172 million for Noem private jets

They ain’t perfect but we need them.

I wish I could be in 2 places at once - I would be in that crowd. So don’t forget that there are probably millions more like me that would be there if not for other personal priorities in life.

Democrats are about to shutdown the government because they demand we don’t bankrupt hospitals for providing health care for all human beings.

There, fixed it for you.

One of Many Brunos @bcfelaco.bsky.social · 14h

Republicans spent years pushing for shutdowns, a reckless agenda that only caused our debt to increase. Now that they have all the power to do what they always wanted, they are blaming democrats for it because they know it’s not what they were elected to do. And they do have the power to end it.

YOU told Thune and Johnson NOT to negotiate and Johnson has kept the house shutdown when it could be doing things the majority of Americans from both sides actually want:

Like releasing the Epstein files!

Meanwhile, the ballroom construction continues, and our hard earned money is going to bail out Argentina … as long as they stay aligned with Trump.

Hey Marco, I’m old enough to remember when you called out Trump for being a man-child with small hands syndrome. I also remember when you actually claimed to care about the rule of law and defending democracy across the globe. How does it feel to have betrayed everything you once believed in?

One of Many Brunos @bcfelaco.bsky.social · 15h

I still can’t access the money the U.S. government owes me from my tax returns because YOU fired the IRS workers and left the agency dysfunctional. That happened long before this shutdown.

And if you can ignore the law to pay troops, you can ignore the law to release these funds. This is on you.

This is the first time in American history that the DHS has used the TVs in U.S. airports for shamelessly political propaganda. Kristi Noem is a disgrace.

Go take a Tylenol.

You are undermining America on the world stage. Tell Johnson to bring Congress back in session and negotiate with Democrats to avoid the inevitable health care disaster you created.

One of Many Brunos @bcfelaco.bsky.social · 17h

Trump just illegally took funds from somewhere else to pay the military without congress’s consent because it served his purposes. If you actually cared about transportation safety you’d just do the same thing wouldn’t you? You’re not fooling anyone.

Love America, Hate Kings

This is the way.

Trump is cut from the same cloth as Maduro - a lawless authoritarian dictator, and she knows it. But her goal is to free HER people in Venezuela and she will just manipulate Trump to help her cause.

We have a state sending their army to another state against the publicly expressed wishes of the government of that state and defying a court order using fake images to justify themselves.

WHERE IS THE LINE MAGA?!?!

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America

A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

Followed by an incoherent campaign speech from the commander in chief proclaiming that their mission is not what it says in the Constitution, it is to defeat the Democratic Party in America’s cities.

The administration that is supposed to be about eliminating waste flew all of our generals from all across the globe to listen to a lecture from an alcoholic about shaving.

Let’s be clear: Republicans are holding the government hostage, blackmailing Democrats to vote for a bill that strips American citizens of health care benefits just so they can blame the damage on Democrats later. Do not fall for it.

ABC and Disney are the same cowards that fired Bill Maher for and cancelled Politically Incorrect for similar comments. Meanwhile, Trump is suing NYTimes for $50 billion for speaking truth.

Right wing authoritarians have always been the greatest threat to free speech and thought.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! suspended indefinitely after host’s Charlie Kirk comments

ABC says late-night show will not air for foreseeable future after Kimmel accused Republicans of ‘doing everything they can to score political points’ from Kirk’s killing

Conservative economic programs: While opposing communism and socialism, fascists also reject liberal capitalism. They often implement a form of corporatism, where industry and labor are heavily regulated by the state, but private ownership is maintained.

Obsession with decline and victimhood: Fascist movements cultivate a sense of national grievance, claiming that the nation has lost its former glory due to alleged conspiracies and internal decay. They promise to restore the country to a mythical, idealized past.

Militarism and political violence: Fascists glorify war and view violence as a necessary tool for national rejuvenation. They often rely on paramilitary groups, like Mussolini's Blackshirts or Hitler's Storm Troopers, to intimidate or eliminate political opponents.

Dictatorial leader with a personality cult: The leader is presented as a heroic figure and the embodiment of the national will. Loyalty to this leader is paramount, superseding even written law.

Authoritarian and totalitarian ambitions: Fascists aim for absolute control over every aspect of society, not just politics. They dismantle democratic institutions, suppress free speech, and use state-controlled media to spread propaganda.
