Ah, so we've reached the "public execution" stage of fascism.
If you need any more evidence, anyone who defends this has truly been lost to the cult and will accept anything as long as 'their side' says it.

I'm not sure if this is dumb enough, but there is the Minimal phone which has an e-ink display. I've considered getting one many times (mostly for the screen and physical keyboard) but never pulled the trigger.

He has the highest rating of any of the equivalent late night shows, by a significant margin. If it was financial they'd give him a raise and increase the marketing budget to increase that gap.

You're 100% right; we all have decisions to make that could be the difference between us living or dying, as well as those around us and the country as a whole.
It's going to come down, at some point, to violence. The volume and intensity is very much dependent on how far Trump and his GOP enablers go before things 'kick off'.
It's going to be civil war 2.0, and the question is, which side will the military be on?

Preach it! This 'both sides', non-judgmental language is BULLSHIT and needs to stop.
Either he knowingly lied or he just made something up without evidence, the severity of either is not covered by the term 'false statements'.
