(23,002 posts)That's the fear they want here. I wonder if TRMS has been threatened? It would explain a few days of reporting of late.

(1,588 posts)The Republicans want civil unrest. They want to bring out the police and vigilantes. That's the reason to keep the report secret a propagandize off the Barr letter. This is more serious than people realize. They are out for blood. Watch the rally tonight.

(535 posts)It should be hope for the best but plan for the worst. Let's GOTV in 2020 and win. But we should also prepare for tRump to refuse to leave office after an electoral loss and all that comes with that.

(82,849 posts)Considering how craven the media have been up until just a very short time ago, it hasn't taken much beyond yelling "Liberal bias!" to get the refs to change the call. But now, it's apparently time to move from tiresome, reactionary squawking to a program of direct on-line attack, in hopes that some of their less stable audience members will be moved to go all Capitol Gazette on a media outlet.
It used to be a bad idea to pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel (i.e. newspapers).

(35,454 posts)and as a strategy, I would suggest the press stop covering him and the Cons altogether. No more videos, interviews...let Sanders stand at her podium facing an empty room

(86,365 posts)I'm almost expecting the leaks to start flowing by the end of next week. Remember a few weeks (?) ago where a couple House Committees ended up with documents from a source they hadn't asked when the source they asked was balking? I think there's going to be some of that coming up soon along with some more very frank testimony at hearings.
