Remember when the elites said President Biden was not able to do the job, but we had peace, prosperity and the rule of law?

Wish they would turn up the criticism of Trump to a fraction of that level now. Pause. They won’t.

The New York Times has been complicit for a long while now, but this goes beyond complicity to intentional disinformation.

Front page of the NYT, with two pictures of the biggest protests in American history below the fold and with a story page 23.

“We are normal, well-adjusted, and sane” says member of the party that invented the “diarrhea plane.”

Tomi Lahren tweet

The Libs are very proud of their protest crowd sizes. They say it was 7 million.
President Trump won:
*the electoral college
*the popular vote
*every swing state
You are VASTLY outnumbered, we just don't spend our Saturdays with homemade signs and rage.
We don't need to. We are normal, well-adjusted, and sane.

It's Prison Banned Books Week — a week dedicated to shining a light on the widespread denial of incarcerated people's freedom to read.

We all have a First Amendment right to read and receive information, in and out of prison. Censorship has no place in a democracy.

So much this.

This photo is what The Atlantic chose to illustrate resistance cringe, and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of it.

Even closer crop of same photo revealing me carrying an American flag at the lower right corner of the Constitution.

Another angle of me carrying an American flag as well as the lower right corner of the giant Constitution.

if I were a Republican, I'd be worried.

Do we ever see members of GOP having fun? Watching ICE raids does not count.

I'm sure we all understand why corporate media ignores all the above and says that as long as the peace deal Trump stole from Biden after secretly working to prolong the Gazan genocide for a year pans out, Trump should get the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

I mean I don't understand why, but someone must.

Remember back in January when all these sage politics-knowers were writing about how there had been a vibe shift and now the resistance was over?
