Bottom line is she treated Trump like normal, legit candidate, not one who tried to blow up our democracy and faces 91 felony indictments. Not just irresponsible journalism. Downright dangerous journalism to legitimize this guy- in the name of having a “ talked about” premiere.
is it Trump's first network interview "since leaving office," or since he violently tried to overthrow the government?

I’m past point of understanding why coverage of most abnormal candidate in US history is so bent on normalization. But there’s no argument anymore. They’re doing it. Even tho I’m sure they recognize disaster will befall their country if he’s elected. The why utterly baffles me.

Facts matter? Just today: 1)Trump says US pays 80% of NATO budget; it's 22%. 2) Amazon has sweetheart PO deal; they pay same bulk rate as everybody else. 3)PO loses billions on Amazon; PO MAKES billions from Amazon. 4)Pollution regs crushing auto industry; record sales for yrs.

Writing this is profoundly humiliating, but can you imagine even THINKING this? Praising the peaceful transfer of power--the bedrock of American democracy--is now a "political" viewpoint? It can ONLY considered so among ppl who don't believe in it.
Michelle Obama sounds political in her remarks: “You see the people that make their voices heard with their vote. We hold an inauguration to ensure a peaceful transition of power. … Once our time is up we move on.”

Reporters are still mostly cowed by this guy. I don’t get it, they get buried with all the outlandish claims and digressions and can’t follow anything. So they ask abt press briefings. You’re in one now!
Compare the tame (fearful?) behavior of reporters in Trump “press conference” to reporters behavior in Biden White House press briefings.
Trump has been given special treatment by media from day one and still gets it.

Whoever at Coca-Cola forced the introduction of "New Coke" in 1985 must be getting excited at the prospect of being replaced as biggest product blunder of all time, as Twitter follows that lead by taking a hugely popular brand and trashing it to pieces, driving away loyal users.
NEW from me from inside Twitter:
Employees are comparing Musk's Twitter reign to the Trump White House, staying on to keep it from "going off the rails."
Musk is creating new rules “by Tweet edict,” then employees have to figure out how to enforce them.

So a sitting senator can’t be bothered spending 20 seconds to look up the source of who “warned us- look out for the lawyers” and pins it on Jesus, not a character Shakespeare created, getting the quote wrong as well. But we’re supposed to take her defense of Trump seriously?

100%. To have ZERO accountability for the most lawless Admin in US history, one that plotted a COUP for pity’s sake, is both a massive fail and an incipient disaster.
Coverage I've seen of Trump campaign trip is all 2024 horserace. Jan. 6 not mentioned. Understandable but suggests the price we've paid for no indictments, no trial, no real reckoning for Jan. 6. Trump treated as normal candidate, not a president who tried to subvert an election.

What Ratcliffe is saying is: Our Intel services briefed BRITISH intelligence, but NOT Cmdr in Chief of US forces. This is either preposterous or a spectacular indictment of Trump for being either too ineffectual to be expected to do anything or so stupid it's not worth bothering.

There isn’t a journalist alive- a real one, not a govt shill- who would question the validity of Collins’ questions. Nor the professional way she asked them on behalf of the entire WH news corps. This WH doesn’t believe in free press. And we’re all the victims of this outrage.
What @KaitlinCollins asked Trump, hours before being "disinvited" from Rose Garden event:
— "Did Michael Cohen betray you, Mr. President?"
— "Are you worried about what is on the other tapes?"
— "Why is Vladimir Putin not accepting your invitation?"

Truly unimaginable that a President is fomenting violence against a state’s governor and no one seems to think it’s a big deal. Not the media, certainly not his party. How depraved has he made our country?

This defines, underscores+bold-faces what Repub politics are all abt. They KNOW they're a minority party (as in, they ALWAYS lose pop vote for POTUS); but rather than change to expand their appeal they openly advocate LIMITING (suppressing, blocking, invalidating) legal votes.
Rand Paul rails on how Georgia was supposedly stolen — “but probably most importantly” absentee ballot applications being sent out for the Senate runoffs.
“I’m very, very concerned that if you solicit votes from typically non-voters, that you will affect and change the outcome.”

He MUST know this can be checked. Yet he just outright lies, knowing that it will never matter to the ppl who support him. Lying is a function of accepting that there is such a think as objective facts.

Dear Florida,
Never forget today when it mattered most that it was more important for your @GovRonDeSantis to not be photographed with @POTUS Biden than it was to meet with the President of the United States about help for Florida.
