President Donald Trump’s recent speech to hundreds of top U.S. generals at Marine Corps Base Quantico wasn’t just political bluster — it was laying the groundwork for an authoritarian power grab.
I’m not familiar with this “Daily Boulder” site, does anyone know how reputable it is?
the article is setting off my AI clickbait detector - the author is “Staff Writer”, and there’s no original reporting in it, just a summary of a YouTube clip.
I didn’t click but I just read an NYT article that essentially states the same:
Mr. Trump’s move to formally deem his campaign against drug cartels as an active armed conflict means he is cementing his claim to extraordinary wartime powers, legal specialists said.
And forgive my lack of humility; I’ve already been saying this for - well years really. Not to mention two people very close to Trump who said this in 2017: “He will not go willingly”. He proved them right once already, don’t wait for the second time when he’s better prepared.
that NYT article is about Trump ordering the military to murder people on boats in the Caribbean.
this article, on the other hand, is summarizing a YouTube video that was responding to what Trump said in his speech to a bunch of generals at Quantico.
so other than Trump doing authoritarian shit, there isn’t really any connection.
they’re both examples of bad journalism, just in different ways. the NYT article does some classic both-sides shit that boils down to “legal experts say it’s illegal to murder people, but a White House spokesperson disagreed”. and this article is just AI-written slop with a clickbait headline.
Sure but they do both point at the same thing essentially. I get it, you want to talk about bad journalism instead, but the larger issue is still valid.
Overall, we rate The Daily Boulder Left Biased and Questionable based on a lack of transparency, poor sourcing, promotion of propaganda, and failed fact checks.
