I suspect the tops of most hierarchies, journalism included, are practicing Both-Siderists by suppressing the blunt truth.

this all started back in the 90’s with militias. They never were able to wipe out these groups. Then I think these same people got involved in politics and running for office. It has gotten worse from there.

It seems kind of pointless to refer to a guy as a White House insider without identifying who he is, what he did and what administration he worked in.

every freedom-loving American must vote in November or we lose this democracy sooner rather than later. I make no mistake, fascism is on the march in America. And besides political ideology as one of their reasons, fear of the growing numbers of non-white persons(the other) is a major reason for the violence of 1-6-21. Right on!

WE ALL KNOW IT, WE SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING, WE HEAR IT ALL DAY, but what is being done about it? Unless the SOB trump is put in jail because of his many crimes, unless all those accountable for so many crimes and treasonous actions are placed behind bars Democracy is not only going to be in danger, it is going to be GONE!

How come no one is talking about the the knew NY district attorney who decided to stop the investigation on trump's fraud? why isn't anyone talking about this? why is this guy not being investigated, or impeached?

Why is it that so many people who have ignored subpoenas are not in jail? Remember when Judith Miller went to jail for refusing to disclose her source?

We don't know if Garland is going to be another disappointment like Muller was. Talking about Muller, why hasn't the "Muller Report" not made public in its entirety? What is f^*&ing wrong with our judicial system?

I understand Biden not wanting to be seen as partisan or someone who is going against his predecessor, fine, but there are ways to do it without being seen, so do it! Not only that, his predecessor is a f&*(ing crook who must be put behind bars, and if this doesn't happen, if trump the crook is able to run in 2024 then Democracy is no longer under threat, you can kiss it goodbye because nothing was done to prevent it.

I was doing a study on a South American country when all the signs were clear that the country was going to end with totalitarian regime, which it is under that regime right now, the symptoms were exactly what we are seeing today in the USA, a lot of blah, blah, blah, a lot of complaining, a lot of jokes against those who intend to destroy Democracy, a lot of articles on the constitution and the law being exposed as proof of the crimes of those people, but the law allowing it to go into the history books without punishment, this is exactly what is going on in the USA...And be very aware of the military, so far it doesn't seem they are on the side of the citizens, otherwise Flynn would have been recalled and court martialed.

So...enough with the blah, blah, blah...Stick and stones will hurt my bones but words will never hurt...well, republicans don't even listen, and the ignorant who follow them only listen to the crap republican officials spew all day, if it were different people like trump would have never made it to the presidency, Ted Cruz would be working at some law firm (if anyone would take him) and out of office, same with Graham, McConnell, Jordan, etc., etc., etc.

We need action and less blah.
