EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: “I don't reach out to persuade you,” Huckabee says, “only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven. And that voice is far more important than mine or anyone else's.” And that is how the United States's current administration is approaching a military crisis precipitated by a nuclear-armed ally.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: “Today, the "Times writes, "while most Americans do not support political violence, a growing share have said in surveys that they view rival partisans as a threat to the country or even as inhuman. Mr. Trump,” the Times continues, “has had a hand in that. Since his 2016 candidacy, he has signaled at least his tacit approval of violence against his political opponents. He encouraged attendees at his rallies to ‘knock the hell' out of protesters, praised a lawmaker who body slammed a reporter, and defended the rioters on January 6th, 2021, who clamored to hang Mike Pence. One of his first acts in his second term as president was to pardon those rioters.” Yeah, I think the approval of violence is considerably more than tacit there.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: Last term, people told him he couldn't have that military parade and that he couldn't send the troops to shoot protesters. But this time around, he's gotten rid of those people and with them the limits on his ability to play around with deadly force to make himself feel powerful. If you can't grasp that simple fact, you need not to be presenting yourself as an expert on defense policy or for that matter, as the editor of a major general interest magazine.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: This, it turns out, is how a violent fascist takeover manifests itself operating in the uncanny nexus between completely made up pretexts and complaints and genuine power and violence. Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth go on TV, done up like Bratz dolls of themselves and make flamboyantly idiotic and fantastic claims about reality, while somebody's real head bangs into a real curb, and they end up locked up and facing extravagant criminal punishment, in the real criminal justice system. Burning vehicles really feature prominently so far in the iconography of what's happening in LA. They make nice dramatic pictures, which is presumably a large part of why people set them on fire. And they're easier to get a nice composed shot of than the crowded, chaotic and fast moving spectacle of, say, police horses trampling protesters underfoot.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: The New York Times would not allow itself to write a news headline asserting that the president is abusing his power, but it's perfectly happy to go fishing for a quote that will say that. In this case, the fishing line is still visible, as what Trevor Potter, the president of the Campaign Legal Center and a former Republican chairman of the Federal Election Commission says, specifically is, “and yes, this is an example of Trump publicly and improperly threatening,” etc. which points back to his having been asked by the reporter to affirm the proposition that Trump is abusing his power. So he got the quote, the quote goes in quotation marks, and the Times simply reports it, as a thing in the world that someone factually spoke.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: It seems like there would be several more salient reasons why someone would avoid publicly attaching their name to a story about defying the out-of-control authoritarian president, but journalistic conventions are journalistic conventions.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: It is June 4th, the date the tanks rolled in, drawing approval, at the time, from Donald Trump for the Chinese government's display of the "power of strength," as he told Playboy in an interview. But that was all very long ago and surely not relevant here in the 21st century. Please visit, read, and support INDIGNITY! https://www.indignity.net/

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: The whole gambit of snatching people out of immigration court completely contradicts the message of the Trump campaign and administration, that it is turning ICE loose to seize and deport the most dangerous criminal elements in the country because Trump's preferred arms of federal law enforcement are lazy and incompetent, and because the real point is to create a spectacle of brutality, instead of trying to track down hardened criminals, they are literally going after the most law-abiding immigrants they can lay their hands on by seizing them as they're in the middle of trying to abide by the law.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: Driven by his subliterate vulgar Darwinian unto eugenicist belief system, Kennedy, in concert with Mehmet Oz, the Trump administration's head of Medicare and Medicaid, wants to import a diseased flock of birds to the United States and turn them loose on a ranch owned by Dr. Oz in Florida.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T. If you're a person who cares about Venezuelan babies, this may tug at your heartstrings. But given that the people who are running this country hate Venezuelan babies and want the worst for them, the story reads like a more literally constructed version of a triumphalist memo that the White House would put out.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: For an instructive contrast of approach, there is the lawsuit filed yesterday by Shira Perlmutter, on the question of who is in charge of the United States Copyright Office, in which the plaintiff identifies herself as Register of Copyrights and Director of the U.S. Copyright Office, while naming the defendants Todd Blanche “in his capacity as the person claiming to be Acting Librarian of Congress” and Paul Perkins “in his capacity as the person claiming to be the Register of Copyrights.” Just because Donald Trump says he's taken a job away from someone and given it to someone else, that doesn't mean change is reportable as a fact in its own right.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: The president of the United States somehow becomes an adjective attached to a “broadside,” a broadside that then “embroils” the South African president. This generates a mood, a mood of “tension.” And then comes a little action, sharing a video, but the video is only "echoing false assertions over white genocide." “Over” is just a weird space-filler, wrong choice of preposition there. Apparently, “of” would have left the line too short. But what is this “echo” of an “assertion?” Where was the assertion coming from that the video that the president of the United States played only contained a reflection of its substance?

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: On the front of this morning's New York Times, four columns wide, is a picture of a greeting between the lawless strongman leader of a corrupt petrostate and Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, as the latter stretches out his hands to welcome Donald Trump. “During President Trump's first term,” the piece begins, “the idea that special interests and governments were buying meals and booking rooms at his hotels set off legal and ethical alarms about the potential for corruption. Mr. Trump's second term is making those concerns look trivial.” Or you could just say, during President Trump's first term, special interests and governments bought meals and booked rooms at his hotels. Mr. Trump's second term is making those dealings look trivial. See? Please visit, read, and support INDIGNITY! https://www.indignity.net/
EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: The story cites Trump telling Bob Woodward that he saved Mohammed bin Salman's ass by making the congressional hubbub over bin Salman's decision to murder Jamal Khashoggi of the Washington Post and chop his body up with a bone saw go away, and it recalls how the Saudi sovereign wealth fund gave Jared Kushner two billion dollars to play with, after Trump's first term was over, and how Trump used the Saudis upstart professional golf tour to enrich his own golf courses and hotels, and it brings up the real estate and crypto deals on top of that. It's a very nice roundup, but it's not clear why it should be a news analysis piece instead of just being inserted as standard boilerplate into every story about the president's Middle Eastern dealings.
