This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

The bad part of the threat to charge Kelly is the end where they remind active duty military personnel they have to consider Trump's orders as legal.

Good piece, worth a read. Corp media is not reporting on this kind of thing.
"Trump has a playlist of grievances and stories in his head. He spits them out somewhat randomly. This is the weave and it’s always been part of his charm. But what seems to be happening here is that Trump can’t tell his stories apart." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-n...

"I Threw the Sandwich"
Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

So much for obeying a court order, even if begrudgingly and with manufactured delay.

Trump is no mastermind—but don’t doubt that he and his comms team plan some psyops, disinfo, and propaganda in advance. In his CBS interview, he kept using a canned line over and over: "Democrats have to open the country." See what he’s doing with that odd and inaccurate phrase? A pandemic callback.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.
I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?
TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

Obvious to say this, but the actual function of the smear job isn't to make us ask about his aunt, it's to show us the words "hijab" and "9/11" in a headline with his photo.
