Revealed: Charles Haywood, creator of the Society for American Civic Renewal, has said he might serve as ‘warlord’ at the head of an ‘armed patronage network’
As we can see in Trump’s third indictment, he could not be trusted in that regard. His advisers were planning to stage a coup, and also preparing to use the military to quash protests if that coup failed.
What's so batshit crazy about this is that the corporate news networks, covering this 24/7, never dwell on this for more than a second, if at all - which most don't.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Diversity, equity and inclusion programs were abolished Tuesday from Walt Disney World’s governing district, now controlled by appointees of Gov. Ron DeSantis, in an echo of the Florida governor’s agenda which has championed curtailing such programs in higher education and elsewhere....
I don't know what Disney's thinking and it's not like I'm a fan or anything, but if I was a multi-billion dollar global media powerhouse with more reach than any other single entity, and I was getting my ankles bitten, and my friends rights' taken, by some ridiculous fascist pinhead I would drown them in lawsuits so fast it'd make their pudding cups spin.
Not just one big suit, mind you, I'd bankroll every unfair practices suit my people had and make a point to target Ron's personal businesses. Thousands of suits all churning through Mickey & Co., Because this is straight up no fooling bullshit and if the courts can't figure it out we move on to step two. Step two is outside the legal frameworks.

Well if you have russian intelligence agencies goosing the social media and hacking your opponents and financing your campaign to the tune of millions of dollars, you got a pretty decent shot. Just be a racist ignorant bag of shit and badda-bing you're the republiQan nominee.

I don't disagree this could be considered "news". And I don't want to weigh in on what's already been covered very well by the commenters here. I just want to point out "businessinsider" isn't a real news organization per se, as they recycle other links often. And they very much supported Trump throughout his setting fire to American democracy.
So it doesn't surprise me to see them publish a "counterbalance" article to go out after Moscow Mitch Ate The Big One.
Rudolph W. Giuliani said he still had “legal defenses” in a case brought by two election workers who said he had defamed them as he asserted that the 2020 election was marred by fraud.
Although Fulton County and Georgia officials immediately debunked the accusations, Mr. Giuliani kept promoting them, ultimately comparing the women — both of whom are Black — to drug dealers and calling during a hearing with Georgia state legislators for their homes to be searched.
Mr. Trump invoked Ms. Freeman’s name 18 times during a phone call with Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia secretary of state, on Jan. 2, 2021. In the call, Mr. Trump asked Mr. Raffensperger to help him “find” 11,800 votes — enough to swing the results in Georgia away from the winner, Joseph R. Biden Jr.
“I’ve lost my name, and I’ve lost my reputation,” Ms. Freeman testified to the House committee, adding as her voice rose with emotion, “Do you know how it feels to have the president of the United States target you?”
I hope they get every dollar he has, even his hidden Caymans millions
Yes and he attacked the CIA many times, the FBI directly, the military - what - a hundred times? And they all still have large vocal supporters or at least pitifully few examples of anyone working against him.
They either can't tie their shoes for being useless or there's some serious bullshit afoot.
