How #censorship and #propaganda work in the land where #Trump47 is a serious possibility:

"The Intercept analysis showed that the major newspapers reserved terms like “slaughter,” “massacre,” and “horrific” almost exclusively for Israeli civilians killed by Palestinians, rather than for Palestinian civilians killed in Israeli attacks"

Even words the UN uses regularly in its resolutions, like “occupied territory” “Palestine” “refugee camps” are censored

Joint cmte allows #Trump to raise money for #LegalBills, huge checks for #RNC

New #FEC filings this wk illustrated the tremendous burden that Trump’s #legal #bills have placed on his operation, but he has a new vehicle to help him raise money for the #SaveAmerica #PAC that has handled many of those legal costs.

The #Trump47 Cmte can raise up to $814,600 acc/to a donor form…& the joint #fundraising agreement outlines where each dollar is allocated sequentially down to the last dollar of each contribution.

The #donor form shows that the first $3,300 of each donation will be directed to #Trump for President primary election acct; the next $3,300 will go to his general election acct; the next $5k will go to #SaveAmerica & the next $413k is directed to the #RNC.

The remaining dollars up to $814,600 will be directed in various amounts to the local Party in 39 states. (if evenly that’s <$21k per state)

…Previously, had structured his joint account so that each time a donor contributed a dollar to the campaign, 10 cents was directed to & 90 cents was allocated to the Trump presidential campaign.

Durham's report could have been three pages long and said, "The Deep State did it and I'm not telling you why" and the response on the right would have been exactly the same. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/05/16/durham-report-trump-reaction/

@pbump
Thanks for sharing rhe article Philip.

You ask rhetorically, "But Stefanik will somehow do better?"

But that is IMO an open question.
"Better" isn't what Stefanik can, if things go Trumpian, do.
Durham was restricteded by laws and institutional boundaries and regulations to mild over-reach and mild mis-use of DoJ powers.
Stefanik and a Trump 47 administration may not be.
