Ne'er do well, Sailor, accomplisher of little, quick wit. Fool of a took. Disappointed in most of you. Wondering where this is all going.

I’m gifting this article as it is very important. And Peter Baker isn’t nearly as bad as the doctors who write the schlock that appears below his name. I don’t quite know how to characterize what Trump has done. So I leave it to you.

That article is horribly written. It buried the real threats under a bunch of both sides BS up front. Donald Trump has called for journalists to be jailed and threatened with prison rape, and it took Maggie 2 years to mention it at the bottom of a story.

Headlined from The Wrap: Trump Threatens Journalists With Prison Rape for Not Revealing Supreme Court Leak (Video)
Headline from Rolling Stone:  OF SPEECH
Trump Keeps Musing About Journalists Being Raped in Prison - He's Not Joking
A knowledgeable source tells Rolling Stone that the former president has wondered how he might be able to jail reporters if he retakes the White House
BY RYAN BORT, ASAWIN SUEBSAENG
Maggie Haberman in the New York Times: 

Mr. Trump has also spoken of turning both federal law enforcement power and the fear of extrajudicial violence upon members of the news media, which he has long maligned as the "enemy of the people." He has repeatedly suggested prison rape as a means of inducing the Politico reporters who in 2022 obtained and published a leaked draft of the Supreme Court decision that would end abortion rights to reveal their source.
"You get the information very easily," Mr.
Trump said at a November 2022 rally. "You tell the reporter, 'Who is it?' and the reporter will either tell you or not. And if the reporter doesn't want to tell you, it's bye-bye. The reporter goes to jail. And when the reporter learns that he's going to be married in two days to a certain prisoner, that's extremely strong, tough and mean, he will say, you know
- he or she - 'You know, I think I'm going to give you the information. Here's the leaker.
Get me the hell out of here!'"

On the other hand, Peter Baker has and had an enormous role in getting us here over 10 years. Baker needs a decade of atonement.

Oh heavens, the Finnish ambassador was meeting with …a leader of the opposition. There is no need to call him a shadow president. Just call him the leader of the opposition party. What a puffed up term, and dangerously so.
