Steve Bannon wants to have Fauci and Wray beheaded and their heads put on spikes outside the WH. DiGenova wants to have Krebs, another Trump appointee, executed. Who talks like this? Trump's lawyers and advisers, that's who. And let's not forget Kushner's comments on NYers dealing with covid 19:

Add to that Stephen Miller's deliberately cruel family separation policy at the border, and you begin to understand how the so-called family values, pro-life, Christian GOP has let itself be corrupted by its own sycophantic embrace of all things Trump. Trump and his team have been trying to create an alternate reality, based on alternative facts since day one. Fake news, fake elections, fake reality.

"We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality-- judiciously, as you will--we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors ... and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
