Trump would relish violence against any Republican who won't go along with Trump's plans.
“He isn’t worried about Trump’s political wrath; he doesn’t plan to run for reelection.
His fear of speaking out is much more personal: ‘I’d rather my house not get firebombed’”

The Nuzzi-Lizza-RFKjr-Sanford tale is awful for many reasons:
1) Nuzzi made the lives of women journalists that much harder by adding this "sleep to the top narrative:
2) Lizza mentions "catch and kill" acts that if valid may have put RFKjr in charge of our health;
3) RFKjr is a sick prick.

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.

The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.
The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here:
