This would all be hilarious, if it wasn't for the fact that Fox's lies and bullshit are helping ramp this up for a full authoritarian clampdown.

They're deliberately manufacturing a crisis so they can invoke Emergency Powers, declare martial law, and suspend elections.

Trump and his Secretary of War freak show declare war on Americans - the people they and their military are sworn to protect.

Why isn’t the media up in arms ?

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Trump orders his generals to attack Democrat cities calling them “training grounds”-targetting the Americans military are sworn to protect.
Why do the Australian media think his “fat generals”comments are the story?

Do the media characterise youth offenders as alien villains who aren’t part of our society or troubled people who could do with some help?
