Government Coup

This one from Joe Scarborough really shocked me, although I guess I need to stop being shocked:

"Some members of Congress that I've spoken to said, 'Listen, it's not just the primarying that we have to worry about,'" said journalist Katty Kay. "'It's actually our own personal safety that we now have to worry about. I have to worry about the safety of my spouse, the safety of my children if I defy Donald Trump,' and when you've got Don Jr. coming out very forcefully and saying, 'We want all of these to be a yes,' there is no exception for Tulsi Gabbard. There is no exception for Bobby Kennedy.
"He is speaking for the MAGA base, and literally I've had members of Congress say, 'Look, you know, you do have to worry in this day and age, you have to worry about your own safety, as well — it's not just the primary factor."

You obviously weren’t looking. The media outlets you are viewing could be the start of the new administration’s manipulation of what they want seen?

My worries about a rabidly pro-Trump media rank slightly behind a zombie apocalypse or space lizard invasion. As to the ripples emanating from Wednesday’s activities, it wasn’t exactly a political turning point.
