I refuse to expose myself to the hand wringing and pearl clutching by the post-election media. My finger's pointing right at you @msnbc.com.web.brid.gy and @cnn.com for gaslighting the country at the expense of your corporate bottom lines for the past 9 years. I'm done with all of you.

@cnn.com are you Joe happy Trump won? Tuosi was enough. Now Gaetz as AG! You all treated him as a normal candidate instead of danger he clearly is. This is Trump tearing our government down and giving it all to Putin and dictators. Gaetz is unqualified and under investigation himself.

These are mandatory meetings where bosses try to persuade workers not unionize, often using coercive tactics.
