It is happening again

Remember before Trump ran for office and he was gas lighting with this birther crap about Obama? Do you also remember people was begging his family to intervene. Well they had to step in to stop this insanity. So now that he has gone farther because he has the power to do as he pleases,;Who is brave enough to stop him now? He has the military and government behind him as well as far right nuts. I think he is having the same breakdown except this time, it is riots and racism that is fueling this crazy creature. He went crazy when he was on this birther so bad that even Martha Stewart had to talk him down. People was begging him to cut it out. Now there is no guardrails or grown ups in charge because even the Republicans are complicit as well as all government agencies. So I am worried about this country now more than ever with him in charge of destroying everything that held up for 200 yrs. He had did a Friday night massacre and boldly breaking laws and firing people to run this country which is hanging by a thread. I just feel sad and hopeless this morning after watching Rachael last night. Even she was shaken. I feel they are pulling a coup right before our eyes and the ones who are suppose to protect us from this can't even do their oversight because of this mobster administration including Barr. The Senate has got to change and keeping the house is another thing I worry about.Someone talk me down please?

He's staging this conflict with his supporters against protesters, and why he's threatening them now . His bad publicity is behind him inciting this confrontation for media to promote it for him and away from Biden and all his issues hurting him now. Trumps tying to play the media into helping him again get free publicity, and not on Biden. The media is complicit for doing this for him , again. Media should boycott showing anything trump during this going on, and stop this tactic he's used before. They're helping him spread his propaganda by focusing on him now. Wouldn't be surprised to hear he has other groups infiltrating the protesters to start troubles with then claim the protesters are criminals for Barr to then try to criminalize them, and like Putin does it in Russia. Trump wants violence, and this is being done intentionally to promote it for him and his failing campaign, and tanking poll numbers.

Owned overwhelmingly by republicans.

IMO all stations and airways should be free to the public and non-profit

Republican CEOs and the ad revenue supporting republican horseshit should not hold hostage what reporters report.

Right now reporters that investigate and write the news are beholden to the whims of republican CEOs

This is why we truly need a free press unshackled by profits and CEO control.

I am encouraged by recent court decisions.
