The media, press made a circus out of him, enabled him, magnified him, but won’t stand up to him. They’ve failed all of us and their duty so egregiously rebuilding trust will be a generational problem. Trump didn’t do it to them, the media folk did it to themselves and the other 320M of us.

METROPOLIS by Fritz Lang is astoundingly prescient. Oligarchs always conspire to keep masses servile. They might as well have thought of Thiel and Musk when making this in 1927. We need a new version of this.

The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.
