North Korean TV anchors are taking notes on this video as we speak
It is almost impossible to plumb the depths of depravity and delusion undergirding every word uttered in that video
This video makes the 700 Club sound like 60 Minutes
I mean the scenes at the end... this needs to be rebroadcast by every authoritarian regime worldwide as a textbook example of how to do fascist propaganda right
In case it isn't clear, this Trump-Huckabee neo-fascist comedy routine is also profoundly racist—as it's meant to coddle addled white supremacists into forgetting that the nation's first black president said "Merry Christmas" all the time and I mean often:

The Trump-Ukraine scandal we were told not to focus on beyond a single call—and which I wrote a bestseller on—had as its aim the theft of the election. Guess who PROOF OF CORRUPTION said was at the plot’s heart?
Most Americans will have no idea of the significance of this Rick Perry text, because major media did nothing to inform them of the sprawling Trump-Ukraine scandal aimed at the heart of the 2020 election. Media deemed the story too complex to report—now we’ll all suffer for that.
Perry’s job was to help Trump bribe foreign officials into publishing info about Biden they knew was false—thereby helping Trump steal the election. Here, Perry is aiding a foreign national-supported coup by embracing disinformation and implying Trump is above the law.
The lack of an answer to this question is the most significant cause of burnout among leading January 6 researchers and journalists.
DOJ has given us nothing—nothing—to sustain us as we find ourselves fearing we care about rule of law and the future of America more than it does.
If AG Garland doesn’t pursue the coup *plotters*, he’ll rightly go down as one of the worst AGs in US history. And if Biden presides over a de facto amnesty for insurrectionist kingpins that leads to the end of our democracy in 2024, he will have been one of our worst presidents.
Many non-lawyers don’t know you can’t claim your answers to questions would tend to incriminate you to avoid a subpoena then give a press conference declaring you did nothing wrong
Stone’s actions won’t stand, and he will end up being charged with Contempt of Congress
What supervillain Roger Stone needed to do if he wanted to take this approach was answer as many questions as possible, assert the Fifth Amendment to any questions he/his lawyer felt may tend to incriminate him, then for the first time in his sad life not give a press conference
Normally it’s difficult to assess if an invocation of the Fifth Amendment has been made in good faith, but it’s not difficult when immediately after the invocation the witness gives a televised presser saying he couldn’t possibly incriminate himself because he "did nothing wrong"

(🔒) RETRO: The Top 100 Unreleased Nintendo Entertainment System Games—All of Which You Can Play Right Now
Most who follow this feed are politicos, not gamers, so the significance of this report may be unclear. Gamers know—and I hope will share it widely. retrostack.substack.com/p/the-top-100-…
1/ The gaming world is facing the loss of some of its most important artworks: unreleased NES prototypes (the NES being the most important video game console in history, and gaming being the top entertainment industry in the world) that are bought by investors and *hidden away*.
2/ There's been a massive effort by preservations like @FrankCifaldi to rescue these artifacts before they disappear forever. And I mean *forever*: in many cases only one prototype cart of an unreleased NES game exists. This effort is advocated for by experts like @PatTheNESpunk.
I’ll admit to being a bit mystified by the January 6th evidence that major media chooses to focus on. Is it *interesting* that some personalities from FNC texted Meadows on January 6th? Sure. Does it rank in the top 500 most important pieces of evidence regarding January 6th? No.
Major media has some excellent lawyers working for it who do a good job—and could probably do an even better job—directing Americans to the January 6th evidence most significant for future coup-plotter prosecutions. And a text from Laura Ingraham ain’t it. Let’s get serious here.
I think major media was excited about the FNC texts because they gave certain outlets a chance to goose a competitor, report on people it knows viewers love to hate, and point out far-right hypocrisies. But are any of those tasks *new and important* ones—or are they old standbys?
