Trump just posted a "Wanted" poster of Dem politicians on his

social media page. It has Obama, Samantha Powers, Comey and others with orange jumpsuits in "mugshots". I refuse to link to it. It is dangerous propaganda.

If you are interested you can see it on bluesky in a repost by Aaron Rupar who points out the elephant in the room here: he is trying to normalize arresting your political opponents.

The corporate media should not ignore this. On the contrary, it should be the lead story. Ignoring is normalizing.

They don't have to show the image. It's propaganda and he WANTS it out there. What they should do is describe it and explain why it is outrageous, including the fact that he has NO EVIDENCE against these people. That's the news value.

A nut case with a gun must have been very inspired, because soon after the wanted poster appeared, with her in a telescopic sight’s crosshairs, he went out and shot her. She survived (barely). Several people did not, including a girl who was about nine (or thereabouts, I don’t recall exactly). She would just have graduated college if she had lived. Instead, she is a memory, and the nut case who shot them gets to contemplate his deed behind bars for the next sixty years.
