      You… think a news headline is protesting? Or, more to the point, you think these giant media companies aren’t on Trump’s side? They certainly aren’t on ours.

      I never suggested we be quiet. I’ve been to protests. I’ve protested Trump several times, and expect I will have to many more times. Let’s resist him and his fascist ambitions, but these articles that are like “Trump can’t do X because it’s illegal!” are nonsense because everyone lets him get away with whatever he wants…

          Not when you’re in a position to do something about it and refuse to, using respect for norms and procedures as your fig leaf.

          The people have long since realized that the DNC are useless, and constantly reminding them of it only helps reinforce the impunity of the Mango Mussolini and his kakistocracy.

          This isn’t a reporter breaking the silence to reveal how laws are broken, this is “Democrats say Trump broke laws” but won’t do anything about it. The point is to continue portraying them as opposition.

          It’s not their job to remind people of the laws, it’s their job to do something about it.
