Democracy Dies in Anticipatory Compliance - Total agree with Doug, "This is yet another reason why billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Well this is timely.

The #WashingtonPost and #LATimes will go down in infamy for their cowardly decisions to forgo a presidential endorsement this year. Let’s be clear. This is appeasement of authoritarianism. It is obeying in advance. It is cowardice.

MSM finally admit that #TFG poses an existential threat.

Trump demanded troops deploy to the Capital bc of G Floyd protests in DC, but he never gave the final order. "He wanted to do it, he was suggestive of it." And he wanted to deploy active-duty troops to bolster security at the southern border.

With less that two weeks until Election Day, some of his most senior former advisers are warning Americans to take his militaristic impulses seriously-.

My response to "don't vote-shame me, bro" is "don't vote shamefully".

“This is #cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave #democracy as a casualty. Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, #JeffBezos (& other media owners),” former Post executive editor #MartyBaron, who led the paper while #Trump was president, said in a text message to The Post. “History will mark a disturbing chapter of #spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.”

No, Trump won't be better on Gaza. He will *increase* aid to Israel (he has said as much). He will remove whatever few guardrails kind of exist right now on our aid to them ("Let them finish the job"). He has been itching for war with Iran since his first term (the only reason it didn't happen the first time around is because the generals refused).

As if the literal fascist will stop a genocide of people he hates.

FFS, what are we doing here people?

"Our job at The Washington Post is to provide through the newsroom nonpartisan news for all Americans, and thought-provoking, reported views from our opinion team to help our readers make up their own minds."

Okay, nonpartisan news and thought-provoking opinions. Got it. So tell me again, why aren't you endorsing anyone?

Because all I see is your fear.

Who wants to tell Mike Johnson and Mitch McConnell that Trump calls Harris a communist fascist marxist during every single one of his speeches?

The WP slogan is "Democracy Dies in Darkness." They have succumbed to the darkness today.

So the world's richest man, who holds billions of dollars in government contracts, owns one of the largest social media platforms, and is spending a fortune to get Donald Trump elected, is reportedly having secret conversations with Putin...

Anyone else see the problem here?

God wanted Trump to live so he could lose to a Black woman.☑️

I don't vote for rapists🚔 .

I ask you:

Is it purely a coincidence that McDonald's has been hit by a massive E.coli outbreak just one day after Donald Trump, with no gloves, no hair covering, and no hand washing did a staged photo-op at McDonald's? Is it?
