Das Bild zeigt eine Szene aus einem Fußballstadion, wo eine dichte Rauchwolke aus Smokings die Sicht behindert. Im Vordergrund ist ein Banner mit der Aufschrift "FC 1860 München" zu sehen, das von Fans gehalten wird. Die Fans sind in den Tribünen zu sehen, und einige von ihnen stehen auf dem Geländer. Die Rauchwolke ist in verschiedenen Blautönen, was auf die Verwendung von Smokings hinweist. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Fans und ein Lichtmast zu erkennen. Die Atmosphäre wirkt aufgewühlt und intensiv, was auf die emotionale Spannung während eines Fußballspiels hinweist.

Das Bild zeigt einen Fußballstadion, der voller Zuschauer ist. Im Hintergrund ist ein großes Banner zu sehen, das die Jahreszahlen "17.9.1860" zeigt und mit grünen und weißen Farben gestaltet ist. Das Banner trägt die Aufschrift "Für alle Zeiten" und "Der Verein der Stadt Starkenburg ist Serben feiert". Die Zuschauer sitzen in den Rängen und tragen hauptsächlich blaue und weiße Kleidung, was auf die Farben des Fußballvereins hinweist. Der Stadionplatz ist gut gepflegt und grün, und man kann die Spielfläche sowie die Torpfosten erkennen. Im Vordergrund sind einige Zuschauer zu sehen, die das Spiel beobachten und Fotos machen. Der Himmel ist teilweise bewölkt, und es scheint ein sonniger Tag zu sein.

Heather Cox Richardson writes today about how Trump and MAGA are working feverishly to turn Comey's snapshot of some rocks on the beach into a sinister plot — working feverishly to distract us from Trump's glarding failure in so many ways. She says,
"In his newsletter today, retired entrepreneur Bill Southworth tallied the times Trump has grabbed headlines to distract people from larger stories…"

MAGA world is performing over-the-top outrage over a photo former Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey posted on Instagram, where he has been teasing a new novel.Heather Cox Richardson (Letters from an American)
Well, they are obsessed by conspiratorial narratives. But on the merits, through my life "86" didn't mean anything but "jettison."
"86 the mayo in that sandwich."
I can't recall a single instance off hand where it had anything to do with violence. Has it mutated with the 20-somethings? Dunno. But Comey is not a 20-something.
This is just another example of abrogating the 1st amendment and making Americans afraid.
JonChevreau reshared this.
"Southworth calls this 'narrative warfare,' and while it is true that Republican leaders have seeded a particular false narrative for decades now, this technique is also known as 'political technology' or 'virtual politics.' This system, pioneered in Russia under Russian president Vladimir Putin, is designed to get people to vote an authoritarian into office by creating a fake world of outrage."

#DOGE has turned its attention to small, #independent entities
NPR has identified close to 40 entities — inside, adjacent to & OUTSIDE of the #government — where DOGE & the #Trump admin have turned their attention in recent weeks.
It's the latest example of how DOGE is attempting to expand its reach beyond high-profile Cabinet agencies, & in some cases far beyond the #ExecutiveBranch & the #FederalGovernment entirely.

"and interviews with employees who were granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly and fear retaliation from the Trump administration."
I don't get it, how else will they retaliate but cutting their jobs, which they are slated to do anyway.
All they need to do is dox them. The gaggle of thugs will take it from there.
They have families to consider.
