pritzker's speech is good and as uncomfortable as it will always make me to hear an elected politician call out journalists it was warranted here. there is no mystery about what the president is doing to american cities

Can he activate his National Guard to defend against other states' Nat. Guard?

i don't know if it works but i think it does behoove republicans to think about the possibility of not in fact remaining in power through antidemocratic means forever, and what might happen then

I just don’t see how something bad happening to them once Democrats take power back will ever be a credible threat. They know Democrats don’t have it in ‘em.

Give the crime org the time to run on the world stage using the worlds military so they can really get their tangles in and then check back in a couple years to consider maybe holding a few of them accountable, this is gonna probably work out just fine…

I’m waiting for journalists to grow a spine and quit giving Donold a pass.

american journalism, on the whole, sucks. not through a huge fault of their own, though certain editorial boards and oped writers are fully collaborationist but through being broken down and scrapped by hugely rich and powerful corporations

There appears to be a growing divide among journalists. Once, the worst were muckrakers, paparazzi. Now they're Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, & all the former Fox Official Liars, who are now all Official Liars to the Pedofuhrer. There ARE still good journos. And they're increasingly at risk.

Well put. An independent press is indispensable. A complicit press is indefensible.

The “journalists” we have at the moment are just muppets for trump. Real journalists aren’t even allowed in the room with Trump and there’s almost 0 on tv to the point it’s pointless to even watch the news on any channel.

Nonsense. Journalist have been lazy cowards for ten years and we would not have tyranny if they did their damned jobs back then.

So Geoffrey, why are journalists NOT REPORTING THE FACTS OF THESE MATTERS ? Why. What has happened to America's fiercely independent media? What ? Murdoch cannot control ALL OF THE MEDIA, surely ! !
