Donald Trump is doing something far more dangerous than complaining about judges. And he's done it before. Our own Rick Wilson explains.

Trump, and everything he touches, is broke. #ETTD

If I may, there’s something I need to get off my chest.

As democracy remains under siege, it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days.

I am reminded by lessons that came to me during the Nixon years as a CBS News correspondent, which I’ll add here:

1. Enough with Both-sides-ism

When one side lies intentionally and repeatedly, they are no longer entitled to the benefit of the doubt. They should be held to account, right away. Do not simply repeat the narratives they spew.

2. Prioritize Live Fact-Checking

Rigorous and robust fact-checking is the best defense against misinformation, intentional lies, and deflection.

If Trump says the sky is green, the story isn’t that the sky is now green; the story is that the sky is still blue and Trump got it wrong.

3. Ask Lawmakers Hard Questions

Ask about the fundamental principles of democracy. Push them to go on the record that Biden won the 2020 election.

Ask if they support the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

This writing is not to offer any claim of knowing it all. Your correspondent has made his share of mistakes, but after more than seven decades I believe I have picked up a few useful guideposts.

Good journalism is always worth it. Our democracy depends on it.

If I were Biden I’d answer every question about my age with:

I don’t have time to dye my hair, get a spray tan, and sit in a makeup chair for twenty minutes every day because I’m busy getting shit done.

If that makes me look old, I really don’t care.

THIS WOULD START WORLD WAR III.

WHY THE FUCK ISN'T THIS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF EVERY NEWSPAPER IN THE WORLD?

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU JOURNALISTS?

A reminder that recently Donald Trump:

- Confused a photo of his rape victim for his ex-wife during a deposition
- Confused Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi 4 times in a row
- Said Jeb Bush sent our troops to the Middle East
- Thought he ran against and is currently running against Barack Obama
- Said President Biden started World War II
- Said that Viktor Orban is the leader of Turkey
- Said you need voter ID to buy bread
- Said windmills are causing whales to wash up on shore
- Confused North Korea and China
- Implied Dallas is in another country
- Had to be reminded of where he was during a speech in Sioux City
- Claimed Hungary borders Russia

And that’s before you get to, you know, all the fascism, fraud, and sexual abuse.

Yet Donald Trump wants to see our economy crash and burn all so he can win re-election. He doesn't care about you, he doesn't care about your family, and he doesn't care about America.

The choice for 2024 is clear.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

To support Trump is to support a sexual abuser and rapist. If we make him president, we are telling millions of Americans that what he did was acceptable. It isn't, and he needs to be held accountable.

Please everyone repost this!!

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Sometimes we mock Trump. Sometimes we call out his clown show. Other days, the harm he’s caused, the pain he’s inflicted, the women he’s mistreated… reminds us.

Donald Trump can never be President again.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

There is nothing godly about Trump…

Last week in the MAGA cult...

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Since traitor trump has yet again mocked John McCain for his time spent as a POW, a reminder:
While John McCain nearly starved to death in a tiny, squalid North Vietnamese prison cell, his body broken from a plane crash, botched operations and months of torture… Donald trump was a five-time draft dodger dining in fancy restaurants and riding around Manhattan in his daddy’s limo.
So fuck that orange asshole.

This was the moment when Trump supporters took down the US flag and threw it on the ground so the could replace it with a Trump flag.
