pushing the lies that will certainly come out of the trump machine refuting the witnesses and evidence as "fake"

Whether our democracy survives will depend on a lot of things, but how the media presents it will be a big part of it.

That the traitor sat there egging on the insurrection will HELP HIM when it comes to votes, NOT hurt him.

The only way these fascists are going down is if the law takes them down, and that is a big if.

The media will continue to play both sides AND WORSE if an indictment occurs I can GUARANTEE you that the MSM will be something like this:

"Today the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland indicted former president Donald Trump for his actions in the January 6 insurrection, but the main question is is this political or is this justice?"

That will be all they have to say and it is bye bye America.

For those who dont understand my posts, that is the question I am saying the MSM will ask, it is NOT me asking it.

progs, dems, libs, acting like the world is ending when IT IS?

So to speak, ending in that between climate change or global warming and the end of our democracy AND a fucking worldwide pandemic, if people arent going to act URGENT now, they NEVER will.

And this includes the media and all politicians who are not rightwingers.

If very high up maga/trumpers aren't indicted by the end of this month, it is panic time.

and if trump runs in 2024 the MSM is going to fall all over themselves kissing his ass and praising him to high heaven Just like they did in 2016. And 1/6/21 will be the hot button that will turn cold with trump and his aides and their spin. And this only if the 1/6/21 commission is unable to bring this rat-a-lago denizen down!!!

They are going to say “So what? He watched it on TV. He didn’t TELL them to go spray bear spray on cops!”

In my book, Trump IS a criminal and needs to be charged with criminal seditious conspiracy. He DID talk with others about what was going to happen. We need witnesses to cooperate the criminal conspiracy.

The 4 year episode of constitutional corruption where an AG was part of a Party leadership is over.
