Tomorrow's address won't be a truthful report. The felon has never previously shown a concern for facts. No reason to suppose he'll start tomorrow.

I expect an exercise in “Jedi mind tricks”

«The force can have a strong influence

“Some fear loss of key government services. These aren't services YOU need. They say some will suffer & die. They aren't people YOU care about. They say prices are a priority. These aren't YOUR priorities. Some say to tax billionaires. These aren't the suckers YOU want to tax.”
 —the felon, tomorrow

Coverage mustn't obsess about individual lies. The numerous individual lies won't be the story. They won't arise of inattention to detail, many unrelated small errors. The problem is a POLICY of deceit, a strategy uniformly applied. Not inattention but attention to lying in detail at every turn.

The policy is one of "shock & awe". A mind-numbing Gish Gallop of societal assaults such as Naomi Klein spoke of in The Shock Doctrine, codified as the Project 2025 plan, which the felon lied about, assuring voters was not the plan, but post-election clearly drives his staffing choices.

Now, too, we're seeing a blatant attempt to rush a "Starve the Beast" plan through. The intent of decades of planning on the part of conservatives is finally laid bare.

And what we will hear tomorrow is "These are not the ill deeds you're looking for. I can go about my business. Move along."
