Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

It's absurd to debate whether militarized repression is a distraction or how hypothetical swing voters will react in 18 months. This is happening. Now. And we're less than 5 months into this administration. Wake up.

86% of my Fox News viewing focus group agreed with the statement: "LA is a lawless war zone ruled by Soros-funded gangs." When asked why Fox News owner Lachlan Murdoch makes LA his primary residence, the respondents replied that that isn't the real Murdoch, but rather a clone or body double.

Fox "News" played some of Gov. Newsom's speech, then garbled the sound and cut it off, saying they were having audio problems. Sure they were. 🙄 MSNBC and CNN didn't have any audio problems.

When you talk to the troops who have nobody to shoot because everyone is dancing or handing out vegan ice cream cones at our protests in The Failed State of California, remind them that campus cop Lt. John Pike said he suffered PTSD from doing this
