Why Trump's Criminal Trial Is Making The Alt-Left See Red

It is stunningly clear that everything the alt-left does is designed to undermine Democrats and boost Republicans.

Jimmy Dore and Glenn Greenwald: Defending Trump at all costs

How mad is the alt-left?

If you’ve been paying attention to the alt-left, their rage at Trump’s arrest is the single least surprising development since the last time a Republican was busted being a pedophile.

The Ouroboros logic of bullshit is flawless:
