The success of Donald Trump’s Argentina-inspired dirty “war” on the millions of Americans he openly “hates” depends on the willingness of @nytimes.com editors to play dumb about it.

Bell Boy @bellboy905.bsky.social · 15d

You’d never know from a single afternoon headline at @nytimes.com or @washingtonpost.com, but this morning, the President of the United States slandered millions of his fellow citizens as “vicious people” and urged the nation’s top military commanders to “fight” them in the streets of America.

The New York Times announces its unconditional surrender to press-hating fascists.

Bell Boy @bellboy905.bsky.social · 14d

By no one in particular, and in no particular context. (Bonus White House brownie points for reducing an explicit declaration of “war” on tens of millions of Americans to a mere “partisan complaint.”)

CBS News confirms that it will side with Trump in his recently declared “war” on the millions of Americans he openly “hates.”

"A billionaire has chosen to inject contrarian, right-leaning, opinion journalism into an American icon [when] it has no f***ing business being there."

It's almost like the death of "common facts, common truths and a common reality" is the point.

The Washington Post is completely ignoring President Trump’s declaration of “war” on the millions of Americans he openly “hates” so his delicate fascist fee-fees don’t get hurt.

Bell Boy @bellboy905.bsky.social · 15d

You’d never know from a single afternoon headline at @nytimes.com or @washingtonpost.com, but this morning, the President of the United States ordered the nation’s top military commanders to handle fellow Americans who “don’t wear uniforms” the way they handle “foreign enemies.”

Non-violence is incomprehensible to Trump. And a non-violent crowd that makes his J6 mob look like a bridge club will have him sputtering with rage. He will be unhinged, inconsolable and (potentially) very dangerous.

Show him who’s boss by showing up. And stay safe by staying frosty.

Bell Boy @bellboy905.bsky.social · 52m

I’m not suggesting that folks stay home, by the way. Quite the opposite. There is strength in numbers, and safety, too.

But Trump has shown us who he is, and what he’s capable of. He’s unleashed violence on DC before. And neither the presence of TV cameras nor the presence of police deterred him.

A joy that can only come from knowing you’ll never see Pete Hegseth again.

Beneath the headline, and after the jump, @washingtonpost.com proofreaders found the earth-shattering news of President Trump’s historically unprecedented declaration of “war” on the millions of Americans he openly “hates.”

Bell Boy @bellboy905.bsky.social · 14d

You'd never know from the front-page headline at @washingtonpost.com, but the "partisan agenda" touted by the President of the United States yesterday was an explicit declaration of "war" on the tens of millions of Americans he openly "hates."

Not that the ascension of Jeff Bezos’s Jew-hating billionaire bestie to the presidency has anything to do with that!

And what he said about using the U.S. military to “dominate” civil-rights protesters, 20 years later:

“If you don’t dominate, you’re wasting your time. They’re going to run over you. You’re going to look like a bunch of jerks. You have to dominate.”

Analysis | The 'vicious’ response to protests Trump once hailed from China in Tiananmen Square

The president’s rhetoric has made clear how he feels protests can be put down. On Monday, he suggested he’ll push for a more heavy-handed response.

If you think I’m being alarmist, consider what Donald Trump told Playboy in 1990:

“When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength.”

BREAKING: Today’s White House talking points call for surrogates to build on Wednesday’s designation of “Antifa” as a “domestic terrorist organization,” and lay the groundwork for a Tiananmen-style massacre in DC next weekend.

Here’s Mike Johnson leading the way on Fox News.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

The insurrectionist-in-chief vows to keep “going after” Americans who commit the crime of hurting his fee-fees, and says he won’t go “soft” on them.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1h

Trump: "These are sick, bad people. And don't tell me about us going after them. If anything, we've been very, very soft. I wouldn't be that soft, I'll tell you that. Thank you very much."

The insurrectionist-in-chief claims the right to do “whatever” he wants, ahead of his Tiananmen-style massacre.

Trump on tariffs: "We're allowed to do whatever we want. We just had presidents that didn't want to do it for whatever reason. Of the eight wars, tariffs are directly responsible for me ending 6 of them. 5 or 6."

The insurrectionist-in-chief grinds his teeth into a fine powder, and denies being concerned about the protesters he sicced his most vicious attack dogs on.

Trump on No Kings: "They have their day coming up. I hear very few people are gonna be there, by the way. But they have their day coming up and they want to have their day in the sun."
