What is happening with editorial boards is not normal. You need to understand this first.

They are not part of the newsroom, so anyone telling you that is lying. What happened at the LAT and WaPo are the beginning. Have you not read history? They come for you. You just think it’s more steps away.

    Yes. And they didn’t not endorse Trump, as well. Which is the whole point here. They are laying down their arms just in case the wannabe authoritarian fascist dictator happens to win.

    And the one fighting chance, outside of voting, and taking up arms, is a free press. Benjamin Franklin knew this and used it to its fullest capacity. And that is what is dying — without a free press, the vote is then in danger because any semblance of truth is already dead.

    Then what are we left with?

    Guns. And death.

    And guess who benefits from that?

      You know what the worst part of this is? Considering buying a gun so that at least we’re evenly matched. I don’t like that the idea was ever a thing.
