A direct result of a 40 year attack on American media landscape that began during the Reagan era. Now we have a low level, weekend, I say weakened, TV personality adorned with Aryanism tattoos under his tailored shirts as the Secretary of Defense of the US, TDS my ass, its worse than that

It encouraged the public to be engaged and informed. 30 years of having this or that beauty with remarkable TVQ ratings tease Sharon Stone like upskirt opportunities while sloganeering "We report you decide" has led us to this specific clusterfuck

Hence providing a variety of sources, a diversity of thought and reporting based on FACTS.

Murdoch and his ilk begat the popularity and lies of Limbaugh and Fox News which coincided with the political destruction of rules and regulatory entities with oversight capability. Things like saturation rules that dictated how much and how many different opinions the public would have access to.

TDS Trump Derangement Syndrome is a term that should be addressed. Thanks to deceased psychobabbleist and condescending asshole Charles Krauthammer. "Hey Chuck, its America asshole, we were created by a bunch of really smart guys that the British Crown thought cared too much about politics".

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting.

The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you.

My hypothesis: economically speaking, blue voters comprise the most productive segment of the U.S. population by a significant amount (i.e., a bimodal distribution). What would happen to the economy if our collective protest against Trumpism was to "coast" for a few years?

It seems to me that the main thing standing between us and an authoritarian oligarchy in the U.S. is that Trump and his minions are intrinsically incompetent morons. Trump won the election because a majority of U.S. voters are also irrational morons, who apparently are OK with an idiocracy.

A Rupert Murdoch business had to pay a "substantial" settlement to Prince Harry & apologize for "unlawful activities."

A Murdoch business had to pay $787 M for lying to the public; and

A Murdoch business had to pay 100s of millions to settle sexual harassment suits.

Rupert Murdoch is a blight.

I would like to see some reporting on the ICE preparation timeline because if you're going to have agents ready to roll in this many places on day four of a new administration that indicates prior planning with people who would've been reporting to someone who wasn't their official boss yet

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

I remember when advocating for mercy and compassion was considered Christian.

Now it's considered radical ideology.

...using Fox news terms like "Biden crime family" or TDS exposes a vulnerable, shallow, and easily manipulated mind unable or unwilling (or both) to think and process information independently. It's intellectually fucking lazy. It screams I am a simpleton wanna go ride bikes?
