The nyt ‘16 elex coverage was curious in itself: obsessed with Clinton’s emails but indifferent to Trump’s evident misogyny and his self-confessed predation.
Even today the nyt seems eager to declare an end to the “bygone” era of sexual predation. Nothing to see hear anymore, it declared.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.

The justice system failed in the Georgia election fraud case. Highly paid lawyering defeated the facts. We know Trump asked a Georgia official to "find 11,780 votes." We know it was an obvious attempt to steal an election. We know Trump is a traitor. Nothing will erase the truth.

When Trump insults women’s looks, don't buy into it by assessing the women's looks. After Trump called a reporter “Piggy,” some folks posted her photo. DON’T! Who cares what she looks like? Today, Trump called another reporter “ugly.” The issue isn't her. It's the ugliness in Trump's broken brain.
