Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

If Kamala Harris had won last November, we would be talking about her First Time Homeowner Down-payment Assistance program she's trying to pass in Congress right now. Not ANY of the astonishing discussions we're having now.

NYT did this during the campaign, too... People used to call it "sanewashing," & it never stopped. No matter how egregious & reckless the actions were, the headline always downplays the conduct. I canceled my subscription bc I don't expect them to change their "business" decision.

President Trump has ousted Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown and says he is replacing him with Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Caine. A retired four-star general expressed serious dismay over this move to me tonight, calling it "sadly political and tragic for our nation."

When taking actions late on a Friday night, a government sends a message its trying to pull one over on the public and the media, that it is hiding something or doing something it believes it should not do or will be seen as controversial. That is certainly true in this case.

To add a glaze of legality to an otherwise questionable Executive actions, KNOWING that it might run afoul with Federal Law. Just like he's been doing across the executive branch agencies with his weird interpretation of federal laws & interpretive EXPANSION of executive powers.

Before Musk hijacked the govt systems, each Dept had their own internal system & a Senate confirmed appointee in charge of that system. Govt Systems were NOT centralized in a way that ANY ONE PERSON can have "God Mode" access to ALL of govt. Now they are & w/o Congress approval. Let that sink in.

FoxNews is "State media" & Donald Trump thinks he can be a dictator that can spend YOUR taxpayers money on HIS POLITICAL personal gain. Again, he keeps wanting to be president for a 3rd term, that is the context nobody should miss.

The DOJ doesn't have the right to pardon any crimes. If these merit a pardon ONLY, the President can pardon. Why isn't his lawyer arguing this instead of the DOJ? What does this do to the "plain view" principle? Are cops supposed to look the other way? How will that impact the rest of society?
