Democracy dies in silence – Rümeysa Öztürk’s arrest is a warning - The Boston Globe
Democracy isn’t something we are. It’s something we do. And too few people in this country are doing it right now.

And the piece still fails to directly address in any meaningful way the overwhelming evidence of dementia, and instead pretends the Mad King’s cognitive collapse is due to “fatigue.”
Got to love how much praise NYT gets for one article, 2+ years late, that literally just rehashes things we all knew already but NYT has spent the last 2 years ignoring & denying & obfuscating.
The New York Times produced a detailed, data-driven report on President Trump showing signs of aging. The president, 79, responded by calling the female reporter who co-wrote the story “ugly.” https://cnn.it/48idUFL

Did that same poll show overwhelming support for Chalabi? He’s tanned, rested, and ready! Just like 2003.
"One guy, it doesn't matter who, swears there's a poll out there that says people want to be invaded." What kind of sourcing is this lol

on the heels of the "piggy" incident. he's a piece of shit misogynist and sexual predator, and always has been. and people voted for him anyway.
Now we have the president calling a female New York Times reporter ugly because he's mad about a story she wrote.

The fact that only 3 (by my count) Republican members of Congress have spoken out about the Witkoff situation shows how thoroughly corrupted and compromised the entire party has become from top to bottom. None of this is about just Trump - it is the entire political party.

I would think that a Judge of the Massachusetts Family and Probate Court would have plenty of power to demand testimony under oath from the child's father about whether he called the body-snatchers on the child's mother.
This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

Basing your story on leaks from Bobby Kennedy, Jr. is the journalistic equivalent of felching.
Olivia Nuzzi wrote an entire story based on unnamed sources about Biden's decline, reinvigorating calls for him to leave the race -- and the whole time, she was working on RFK Jr.'s behalf, according to her ex-fiance. newrepublic.com/article/2035...

The Mad King isn’t “flexing” “full executive power.” He is illegally abusing his power to subvert democracy and the rule of law, but I guess we should be grateful that the @nytimes.com has noticed that there is gambling going on in this casino.

And bonus atrocity points to the Mad King for murdering civilians on boats in the Pacific, a body of water that Venezuela has no access to.
Venezuela has become the Trump regime’s comfort atrocity. Any time Donald doesn’t like what’s on the TV, he blows up another boat filled with civilians. And it’s only a matter of time before it gets even worse. Possibly far worse. Possibly very fast.
Trump's illegal war on Venezuela is a sneak attack on our freedom
