A federal judge has issued an injunction against the attempt to reframe the Voice of America as the voice of Trump.

Afterthought:

My first thought was that these folks don’t understand the concept of the rule of law, but I think that’s wrong. I don’t think they understand the concept of law, at least not as something that applies to them.

It’s as if Trump has released a flock of political Jeffrey Epsteins loose upon the polity.

At NJ.com, Luke Elliot explains Trump and the Trumpettes verify the unverifiable. A nugget:

To the cult of Trump, it does not matter that Trump lost the popular election and electoral votes. Since there is no objective truth in the cult, vetting is unnecessary. Make a claim, and then make up examples to support it. Cult Trump logic distorts the truth, but to many, the claims seem real because the people making them are powerful.

At Psychology Today Blogs, Chrysalis L. Wright explores the effect that fake news may have on the aftermath of the recent presidential election. She notes Donald Trump’s reaction to his losing it and is less than sanguine over the possibilities. A snippet:

Trump immediately began filing lawsuits in battleground states. Claims in these lawsuits have included that poll watchers were not able to observe ballot counting in Pennsylvania, claims of voter fraud in Georgia regarding ballot counting, and asking ballot counting to stop in Michigan, among others. While it appears that there is little legal merit to any of these lawsuits and that they are not likely to change the outcome, many of Trumps supporters are convinced that voter fraud is rampant, that the 2020 election is rigged, and that democrats are trying to steal the election.

Nickolas Kristoff notes the subversion. A nugget (emphasis added):

Yet what Trump has already done is what the Russians have always tried to do: cast doubt on American elections and destabilize the United States. The 2018 federal indictment of Russian election hackers alleged that they were engaged in “information warfare against the United States of America,” by fostering confusion and distrust that impair the integrity of elections and damage the legitimacy of the government that emerges. That’s precisely what Trump is now doing. He may hug and kiss American flags and pretend to be a great patriot, but this is a betrayal of our country.

And a lot of damn fools are taking the bait.
