This is how the New York Times pretends to do journalism -- treating the Trump/Hegseth fascist military event as just routine partisan politics.

The Times will go down in history as a quisling operation, and its bosses will be remembered for their cowardice.

@dangillmor @ntrembath 100% Quisling is the correct label for them. Hopefully this crap gets into the Wayback Machine. #Sulzberger #Khan #NYT #enemiesofthepeople

This headline is semantic muzak that turns fascism into meaninglessness. Vile.

Story lede: "In the end, it was just another campaign-style presentation. President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recited a familiar litany of partisan culture war talking points in their highly anticipated call-up of several hundred military officers on Tuesday."

Doesn't even begin to capture the malicious, anti-American nature of this thing.

Using American citizens as "training" for our U. S. armed forces is beyond the pale. It is certainly not only not normal partisan politics, but rather a dagger aimed at the heart of our democracy. Governor Pritzger is doing a superb job of resisting Mr. Trump's slow motion coup of our constitutional pritections. Hopefully, ICE agents acting in a fascist and violent way will begin to be charged in state courts.
