In general, the US media is the Putin/GOP propaganda arm.

It can get a lot worse.
Justice matters.

We either have a criminal code in democracy or we don't in fascist anarchy!
So the DoJ (Garland) should issue a clear warning to all violent right-wing extremists that any and ALL acts of violence will be treated according to the US Criminal Code.

(90,347 posts)... and punitive sentences to snuff it out.
They're not, they're going too light relative to the J6rs being Muslim, black or Native American and we're seeing the thought stream of MAGA crowd feeling justified.
If J6 was 99% Muslim there's no damn way we'd have hearings flaunted, arrest or even plea bargins.
I'd put money on that

(14,909 posts)The guy is under employer pressure of saying anything controversial, including the truth that Trump is a traitor in the thrall of Moscow, criminally derelict in office and corrupt in action, the head of an insurrection to overthrow the Constitution. Doesnt want to tee off AT&T, COMCAST NBC as his paycheck is at stake. Most of all, they cannot mention how NBC helped foist Trump on America.

(13,523 posts)Lauer letting trump call in any time he wanted on the first hour of the today show when he was running for President. It made me so angry I would turn the channel. I often wondered if Lauer and trump were friends. Thankfully Lauer got fired for other reasons.

(15,646 posts)just a sidebar distraction all that he is cut out for. Oddly, it gladdens me that someone like General McCaffrey came out and said not just that Trump should be indicted, but also publicly stated what should be obvious to everyone as unavoidable there will be violence. The sooner we acknowledge this and get on with it, the sooner we can get back to an acceptable level of sanity. Sooner is relative. It took decades to get here; it will at least take years before we have a broadly accepted sense of normalcy again.

(13,523 posts)those on DU knew chuckles hasnt been worth listening to for several years now. Its taken Tribe and McCaffrey this long to figure this out.

(32,034 posts)Tribe is a law professor. McCaffrey as a retired general probably has lots of guest speaking and lecturing gigs.

(33,355 posts)Based on the contortions he goes through to promote bothsiderism, I have concluded that Chuck has either gone through some drastic surgery or he was born with no spine.
