Listen M$Greedia - stop repeating shit like he's calling it a coup

Impeachment is a remedy laid out in the Constitution of the United States.
He does not get to dismiss the Constitution and have you repeat this fuckery about a coup. Fuck this shit!

although he and his goons tried it again in 2018 - ask DeSantis, Scott et al about Rudy's goons. Something has to be done about this disinformation.

It’s a lot easier to see how far people are willing to go to not acknowledging what’s really happening when the times are drastic and polarizing. People will cling to a proven lie, no matter how detrimental, rather than face a truth if it makes them uncomfortable.

It happens even in the little things, but it’s in drastic times like these that it becomes so obvious. Kurds are slaughtered and photographic proof is in evidence, but Trump utters the let’s pretend phrase that it’s all a childish game in a sandbox and his base AND his party are happy to play the game. There is no longer any such thing as the unspeakable because people are pretending that line never existed.

It’s bad enough that we have the let’s pretend branch of the media which is also the let’s just make shit up branch, but when it’s sprinkled through the truth telling media it feels like trying to claw your way up that slippery slope.

This concept is the reason I’m a recluse. I get your maddening frustration!
