I'm not sure what's more distressing, the blatant, targeted attacks on the press over the weekend.

or major news outlets like NYT, WP reporting on the attacks and *making no mention* of Trump's anti-media hate rhetoric; pressrun.media/p/as-police-po…
good grief, the game is to pretend this is all happening in a vacuum?

sadly, the media silence only proves yet again Trump bullying works.
i'll say it: police harassed, arrested, and attacked reporters bc Trump has been calling them "enemies of the people" for 5 yrs.

all of this is blindingly obvious

Mattis **clearly** knew Trump was danger to Constitution while working for Trump. and Mattis did what???
think abt the mindless Trump insanity that has unfolded at WH for 3 years and not ONE person ever strolled out the the WH, publicly quit, and warned U.S. abt the mad man in Oval Office

agreed. as i mentioned yesterday, what US mayor, seeing the chaos in American streets today, wants Trump and 20K supporters to come to town?

convention would cost any city $$$$ just in law enforcement.
any city that accepts convention can bank on massive protests, probably unlike anything we've seen since 1968 convention
Mayor to city: i thought it would be fun if we blew a hole in our budget while city descended into chaos as NG paroled the streets for GOP convention

the teargas "debate" is classic Trump.

naturally WH is lying. i don't want to say it's a distraction bc it's important to document the lies.

but i wish the coverage would be, "of course he's lying." and then move on
in the summer of 2020, catching Trump in a lie should not qualify as a gotcha moment.
if the press had accurately and aggressively called Trump a "liar" for last three years, we wouldn't get sidetracked by this kind of stuff
