I swear to God the final Wall Street Journal editorial making case for Trump includes this line.

“Mr Trump was too undisciplined, and his attention span too short, to stay on message much less stage a coup.”

Too erratic to coup! Trump 2024!

I need someone to explain to me why the orange Hitler-loving felon was even talking about Lynn Cheney in regards to war. She's not running for office. Kamala has never said she'd be Secretary of State, etc.

Why was he even talking about her in this context to begin with?

 

This point about Southern segregationists is a good one. Most of these politicians supporting Trump are gonna be disavowed by their grandkids.

To all my Republican friends. Donald Trump is talking in public about executing a political opponent, a former Member of Congress and daughter of the man you all supported for Vice President.

This will be your legacy. To all my former clients I helped elect, your support for… https://t.co/poA0rtOpQr

Democracy dies in anticipatory obedience

WSJ reports that the National Archives museum has removed references to Martin Luther King, Japanese internment, Native Americans, union organizers, and birth control, because presenting American history honestly would make Republicans uncomfortable https://t.co/CznEIKHGMh pic.twitter.com/R5pjPuXgcd

Do any of the press defenders want to defend this decision?

Don't straw man, don't go meta, just explain, on a first order basis: why is a silly Biden gaffe bigger news than Republican plans that will lead predictably to tens of thousands of needless deaths?

Anyone? https://t.co/mLWgfRGdPM

IMO, the WaPo non endorsement was the moment the legacy media’s message to liberals upset with their coverage (best summed up as “the beatings will continue until morale improves”) stopped working.

Stop scolding us that cancelled subscriptions are unfair to journalists. Reporters, this is your moment: step up to the damned plate and end journalism's devolution into authoritarian propaganda: pic.twitter.com/I3I24MoEpN

Trump's deranged fantasy about Liz Cheney being gunned down are getting the attention.

But the most important line is this one:

The crowd “cheered.”https://t.co/Wan3SL7WEz

I think a lot of people in the press think liberal anger at them is gamesmanship.

But it's not. It's that when you have Trump threatening to shoot you, and pundits would rather talk about a Biden gaffe, it feels like the press is part of the conspiracy to get you killed. https://t.co/0fFNIUfiS9

This kind of trivial crap, not the imminent threat of the fascist takeover of the American government, is what animates our political media elite. https://t.co/BXqkbXOwzx

There is no strict Constitutional prohibition against extrajudicial executions, so it’s hard to see why liberals are so upset about Trump’s comments about putting Liz Cheney in front of a firing squad.

Pitch it digging deep into his music collection. IYKYK.

He's Only Happy When He Reigns

Donald's been rocking the Garbage talk, but despite his Scottish heritage, he's sounding less like Shirley Manson and more like Charlie Manson. Hey Don, if Kamala is such a Stupid Girl, why wouldn't you debate her again?

And of course, Hugh Hewitt's first comment on his quitting the Washington Post went to Fox News. As @MattGertz pointed out today, it sure seems like someone is laying the groundwork for a Fox News contributor gig with this stunt.https://t.co/y0aGcQWjANhttps://t.co/sYdAF4b4Q5

Amid the litany of all Trump’s risks, this is the part that stood out to me: “Yeah, we thought Jan 6 was bad, but you Democrats were too mean to him so we’re supporting him again.” Let’s risk the economy and democracy on anti-anti-Trumpism. pic.twitter.com/Lls0uq6XpG
