News leaked that Donald Trump is staging a military parade in the capital
nine weeks from now, on June 14. For the first time in our nation’s history,
we will have soldiers and tanks flowing through the streets as a display of
our president’s might.

The stock market continues its collapse.

Protestors have started to awaken and stage significant demonstrations
over the weekend.

What do you get when you combine economic calamity, a budding mass
protest movement, and the regime’s eagerness to display its mastery of the
military on the streets of an American city?

I learned a lot about journalism during Brexit.
And I am seeing the same mistakes being made now.

During Brexit, supporters of Brexit would say lie after lie after lie, and
journalists would often question them about the lie, but they would never
ask the question that would kill the debate stone cold dead.

For example, Northern Ireland sometimes came up (no way near as much as
it should have) and when asked about how goods would travel between
Northern Ireland and Ireland, everyone got away with saying there were
technologies that would allow travel.

Not once did I see any of the many, many MPs be asked ‘What were those
technologies’.
Because then it would become apparent that none of them had a clue what
they were and were just parroting what they had been told to say.
Hint - there were, and there are, no technologies that would allow this ro
happen, which is why we are still in a messed up situation.

I am still seeing people in governments able to make wild statements, that
are challenged, but not with a killer question.
But then again, I am also seeing politicians getting bolder. I’ve seen several
tell reporters to literally F off on camera.
Which is really disturbing

As an example - I have yet to see anyone say to Trump - why do you think a
trade deficit is a tariff?
They may have said it to others, but Not Trump.
And yes, we know he will have a bullshit answer and say the journalist is
very unfair, but at least have the guts to ask the question to his face. Ask
him why he doesn’t understand basic economics.
