Trump/Vance lies could lead to violence in Springfield

Vance admitted the story was false

The Proud Boys have been to Springfield

Governor DeWine condemned the lies but in general the Republican Party has been quiet

Schools got threats

I blame the evil lying bigot Trump for all of it.

Springfield OH bombing threats and Klan march should be paired with Charlottesville VA Nazi march as a moment for taking sides.

Trump chose "fine people on both sides" first time, and Trump and Vance are choosing "with all these immigrants, what do you expect?" this time.

Last night windows were smashed and acid thrown on Haitian owned cars. Now these Neo-Nazis are on the streets of Springfield. Trump and company are sponsoring America's own "Kristallnacht." It's disturbing and-frightening. https://t.co/RghRPWVnsG

More tweets on poor New York Times coverage of Trump

Is the New York Times unaware that the Trump Administration repealed the overtime rule passed by the Obama Administration or did they just refuse to include it as a major flip flop? pic.twitter.com/ImruXD5cfd

"Filtered through the lens of Trump" is a great observation. The Times treats him as the main character of American politics. It's a deliberate choice, and a lot of what's baffling or infuriating about their political coverage is downstream from it. https://t.co/HTKAAPMdFv

OMFG, the word Cheney doesn't appear on the home or front page of the Times today. A grand coalition in American democracy is forming. The #BrokenTimes is ignoring this momentous story–as well as good news for Harris. This is not news judgment. My view:https://t.co/sug1O7btvx

Godzilla Minus One is excellent

The Japanese film Godzilla Minus One is on Netflix and discs. It is far superior to the recent American Godzilla films. It’s got lots of action just like them. It also has a much stronger storyline about the Japanese people coping with the tough times after World War II. That topic is also covered well in Seijun Suzuki’s Gate of Flesh (1964).

The Japanese film Shin Godzilla (2016) is also superior to the American films.

GODZILLA MINUS ONE is a revelation in black and white. Rather than simply throw a monochrome filter over the existing film, Takashi Yamazaki and his crew painstakingly remastered every shot. The results are terrifying in a completely unique way.

Absolutely see it if you haven’t. pic.twitter.com/Gt9GjE3b6k

DOJ and FBI inaction has led to conspiracy theories about the Trump assassination attempt

We still haven’t seen the report from his initial medical treatment. Lack of information breeds conspiracy theories

Some on the right think that Democrats tried to assassinate Trump.

Some on the left think the assassination attempt was staged.

I think it was all done by the one guy that was killed after the shot.

.@SenatorHagerty have you seen these wild videos on the internet that prove Trump wasn’t actually shot but rather that he staged the entire thing? I know we have official reports from the FBI and Secret Service but this cool YouTube video narrated by a guy who says he knows…

The moderators said nothing about most of Trump’s lies. They did much better than CNN which had no fact-checking.
