This is galling: Media accounts are noting that both Trump and Dems are attacking the other as a grave threat to democracy. But Dems base this on what Trump and his allies *say in their own words.* Trump makes shit up. Media isn't making this clear. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1838...

I withstood the era of people telling me I should read Hillbilly Elegy because of where I'm from. Now I'm living free and easy in the era of people hating J.D. Vance, and I never lifted a finger.

"Pointing out that our guy is a threat to democracy is dangerous and we would like this to stop." Sounds like everyone is in agreement then.

That thing we all watched in January of 2021 was just the three-hour tv pilot. What the supreme court did this week was greenlight the series.

maybe seizing and arresting the Supreme Court majority for aiding and abetting an attempt to overthrow the U.S. government can be a "core constitutional duty" and an "official act," why not

The thing that also fucking sucks is Biden is a bit stronger now and Trump is not only lying nonstop but speaking even more incoherently than Biden now but my guess is most outlets will have written their headlines at 9:02pm. This is just a fucking nightmare for everyone but Trump's media team.
