VIDEO: Last week, Trump announced plans to get rid of mail-in voting. And in recent years, the RNC has brought a slew of lawsuits aimed at making voting by mail more difficult. Marc Elias explains why this isn’t just another political stunt. Watch below: youtu.be/e6K46CS79nY

When an American President stands alongside a murderous dictator and declares to trust that man more than our public servants across the aisle, more than our nation’s Press, he’s stepped out into the stark light of day and revealed himself. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/hey-maga-a...

Itʻs not a distraction; it IS the thing! The President of the US is turning military trips against his own people and usurping the police force that would respond if he were to attention a coup (again). This is the type of thing that used to cause the US to send trips into other countries.

Worse than that. Read this EO carefully, it says anyone they see as essentially out of their mind OR homeless. It’s repeated under every point they make. This here allows to take anyone they see as a “threat” and put into an institution.

Major media seem flummoxed about what to do when Trump shares a fake video of Obama getting arrested. Maybe they think the options are A) take the bait, or B) ignore it. But there's a 3rd option: Gather all the crazy examples and write big, loud stories about how the president is mentally unhinged.
