We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.

NY Abstract Expressionist painter Helen Frankenthaler became active in the NY School of the 1950s, and her work spanned six decades. She once said “One really beautiful wrist motion, that is synchronized with your head and heart, and you have it". Broome Street at Night, 1987

It's just remarkable that the president of the United States is running an extortion racket in broad daylight and not only is the nation apparently unable to stop it, hardly anyone will even call it what it obviously is.
