Jeff Jarvis<p>Media love to frame Trump's authoritarianism as "norm-breaking" but even at that level they won't shame his behavior. "The Oval Office grillings reflect Trump’s love of showmanship." <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BrokenPost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrokenPost</span></a><br>Donald Trump and the art of the Oval Office confrontation <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/04/donald-trump-oval-office-ambush/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/politics/20</span><span class="invisible">25/06/04/donald-trump-oval-office-ambush/</span></a></p>
Jeff Jarvis<p>To the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BrokenPost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrokenPost</span></a>, shredding the Constitution in a fascist, authoritarian coup is a "power move." <br>Supreme Court walks a tightrope as it confronts Trump’s power moves <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/05/29/trump-john-roberts-supreme-court/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/politics/20</span><span class="invisible">25/05/29/trump-john-roberts-supreme-court/</span></a></p>
Jeff Jarvis<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BrokenPost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrokenPost</span></a> goes after the left for word choices.

Jeff Jarvis<p>Trump is insane, severely addled, and fascist, but the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BrokenTimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrokenTimes</span></a> &amp; <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BrokenPost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrokenPost</span></a> still roll over Biden. The audio--an Axios/Caputo hatchet job--reveals only that a father finds it hard to talk about his son's death. This is journalism on the wrong side of history.</p>

Jeff Jarvis<p>What is the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BrokenPost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrokenPost</span></a> thinking? This is a trial, not a comic book.</p>
Jeff Jarvis<p>And here's how the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BrokenPost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrokenPost</span></a> normalizes this dangerous appointment.</p>
