Washington, DC, November 12, 2024 -- As Donald Trump prepares to begin his second term, Democrats are grappling with how to respond to his decisive election victory. Among the ideas gaining traction is a proposal by Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-NC) for a "shadow cabinet" to counter Trump’s administration. While Democrats frame this as a bold new strategy, critics argue it exemplifies the party’s habit of projecting their own actions onto Trump—a tactic that has defined their rhetoric since 2016, particularly in their narrative around January 6th.
Shadow Cabinet: A New Playbook or Partisan Overreach?
A shadow cabinet, common in parliamentary systems like the UK and Canada, consists of opposition members who mirror the roles of the ruling party’s cabinet. These shadow ministers publicly scrutinize their counterparts and propose alternative policies. Rep. Nickel argues that adopting such a system in the U.S. would allow Democrats to more effectively challenge Trump’s agenda.
"We need new ideas," Nickel wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post. "Democrats have to stop playing defense and start going on offense." He suggests high-profile Democrats like Adam Schiff and Tammy Duckworth could serve as shadow counterparts to Trump’s cabinet members, acting as "lead messengers" to communicate the party’s vision while holding the administration accountable.
However, critics contend this proposal undermines the constitutional framework of the U.S. government. By creating an unofficial parallel structure, the shadow cabinet blurs the boundaries between legitimate oversight and partisan campaigning.
Projection, January 6th, and Hypocrisy
The shadow cabinet proposal highlights a recurring pattern in Democratic rhetoric: accusing Trump of behaviors they themselves exhibit. Nowhere is this more evident than in their narrative around January 6th. For nearly three years, Democrats have pointed to the Capitol riot as an attempted "insurrection," portraying Trump and his supporters as a direct threat to democracy. Yet, their shadow cabinet proposal reflects the same subversive tactics they accuse Trump of: rejecting the legitimacy of an elected administration and actively working to undermine it.
While Democrats decry January 6th as an unprecedented attack on democratic norms, their inability to accept Trump’s victory in 2024 mirrors their claims about his response to the 2020 election. Just as they labeled Trump’s challenges to election results an attack on democracy, the shadow cabinet signals their intent to obstruct his administration before it even begins.
The Role of the Media
Left-leaning media outlets have largely ignored the implications of this proposal, focusing instead on narratives that paint Trump as a threat to democracy. This selective coverage enables Democrats to present themselves as defenders of democracy, while quietly engaging in tactics that undermine the constitutional framework.
The media’s silence on the shadow cabinet proposal contrasts sharply with their condemnation of January 6th. While the riot was widely characterized as an existential threat to democratic norms, little attention is given to the parallels between that rhetoric and the Democrats’ proactive efforts to destabilize Trump’s presidency.
The True Insurrection
Critics argue that the shadow cabinet proposal reflects a deeper strategy by Democrats: a continuous campaign to delegitimize Trump’s presidency and disrupt his administration from the start. By projecting accusations of insurrection and authoritarianism onto Trump, Democrats deflect attention from their own attempts to undermine the constitutional order.
The Founding Fathers designed the U.S. system with clear mechanisms for oversight and accountability, including congressional checks, judicial review, and a free press. Introducing a shadow cabinet, critics say, is unnecessary and fundamentally un-American. It borrows from foreign systems, bypasses constitutional norms, and prioritizes partisan rivalry over governance.
The echoes of January 6th remain loud in the Democrats’ rhetoric, but their shadow cabinet proposal suggests they are prepared to engage in the very actions they condemn. By framing opposition as insurrection and governance as obstruction, the party risks confirming what many Americans have long suspected: the accusations they level against Trump often reflect their own behavior.
Trump’s Legal Team Prepares for Retribution
Adding fuel to this controversy is Donald Trump’s legal team, which is reportedly preparing to hold accountable those who participated in framing him during his first term and beyond....

Washington, D.C. (District of Criminals), December 15, 2025 — During an exchange with reporters in the Oval Office today, President Donald Trump was asked whether he stood by a Truth Social post made after the murder of filmmaker and political activist Rob Reiner, a question that prompted a blunt and combative response.
A reporter pressed the president, noting that several Republicans had denounced his post and asking whether he would walk it back. Trump declined to do so, making clear he harbored no sympathy for Reiner’s political legacy. “Well, I wasn’t a fan of his at all,” Trump said. “He was a deranged person, as far as I’m concerned.”
Trump went on to accuse Reiner of being a central figure in promoting what he again referred to as the “Russia hoax,” rejecting longstanding claims that he was controlled by or friendly with Russia. “He said he knew it was false. In fact, it was the exact opposite,” Trump said. “He was one of the people behind it.”

NYC, December 11, 2025 — This montage captures the surreal moment Fox News delivered a coordinated, name-avoiding takedown of Candace Owens — blasting her, mocking anyone who questions the official FBI narrative, and defending Turning Point USA leadership with a level of emotional aggression normally reserved for political opponents. Fox refused to utter Owens’ name, yet every segment targeted her directly.
The video opens with Candace Owens pointing out the obvious: anyone asking basic questions is suddenly branded “evil.” She highlights the bizarre shift in tone, quoting a top viewer comment: “They want us to believe Charlie’s neck was made of steel, and the Twin Towers were made of neck bones.” She calls it what it is: “a psychological operation.”
Fox then pivots to Laurence Jones, who frames Erika Kirk’s viral moment as a righteous explosion against “nonsense” and “conspiracy theories.” He plays her clip — emphasizing her remarks about silence, grief, and defending TPUSA ...

AUSTIN, Texas — December 28, 2025 — Alex Jones issued a fiery and unusually self-critical statement during his broadcast yesterday, apologizing to his audience for what he described as a failure to properly investigate Candace Owens sooner, while simultaneously launching a full-scale rebuttal of the claims she has promoted surrounding TPUSA, Charlie Kirk, and alleged assassination plots.
Jones said his concerns did not come from personal animosity but from what he called a responsibility to verify information before allowing it to spread unchecked. “I dropped the ball. I apologize,” Jones told listeners, explaining that he initially overlooked Owens’ claims due to other pressing matters, but later felt compelled to investigate them directly.
After reviewing the allegations in depth, Jones said he found them deeply flawed and unsupported. He specifically rejected claims involving mysterious flights, Fort Huachuca, and supposed high-level ...
CANTON, Ohio — December 20, 2025 — Body-camera footage has revealed a chilling near-execution attempt inside a Walmart loss-prevention room, where a convicted felon pulled a gun on a police officer’s head and pulled the trigger — only for the weapon to fail.
The incident occurred around 1:45 p.m. Thursday at a Walmart on Atlantic Boulevard NE. A Canton Police Department officer had responded to a shoplifting call involving 21-year-old Shane Newman and 23-year-old Katerina Jeffrey and escorted the suspects to the store’s loss-prevention office.
Once inside, the encounter took a terrifying turn. Newman suddenly raised a handgun, aimed it directly at the officer’s head, and attempted to fire. The gun malfunctioned, sparing the officer’s life.
In an act of extraordinary courage, a Walmart asset-protection associate immediately tackled Newman, preventing a second attempt. The officer then subdued Newman and placed him under arrest. Body-camera ...
Austin, December 16, 2025 — Broadcaster Alex Jones delivered a mixed but pointed assessment of Candace Owens, criticizing her repeated implications surrounding Charlie Kirk’s murder while simultaneously defending her right to ask questions. Jones argued that Owens never explicitly accused Turning Point USA or its leadership, but instead “implied it seven ways to Sunday,” adding that compilations exist documenting those implications. He warned that claims denying such implications contradict the public record.
At the same time, Jones stressed that if he believed TPUSA or President Trump were involved, he would expose it without hesitation. He highlighted TPUSA’s rapid growth, noting hundreds of thousands of new signups and expanding campus chapters, and argued the organization is vital heading into upcoming elections. Jones said questioning the killing itself is legitimate, suggesting a possible FBI cover-up, but insisted many theories ...
