The mainstream media is failing to provide factual information that would allow the public to understand the issues fully and respond appropriately? What a surprise. Not.

Trump was reasonably lucid when he came down the golden escalator in 2016. Compare that to his mental acuity now (a fairly rapid and steep decline) and then imagine what shape he'll be in if he serves out his term (which is scheduled to end on Jan 20, 2029).

He a con man. A grifter. Wiley and sly. But at the core, stupid and lazy.

He is smart enough to profit from his fake presidency, for example by creating his own cryptocurrency on day one.

So disappointing

The mainstream media has always been lazy and easily bought.

Some stunning individuals of character and commitment to the contrary, the media is comprised of over-paid performers.

They are reporting that he took away his security clearance. Irresponsible.

I can only say one thing, Trump is a fucking idiot felon x34

He's weak as well as being stupid. Imagine not being able to tell musk "No."

I don't think he can tell musk to duck off...I think musk has something on him...

yes, $260 million he paid to buy the presidency for Trump.

It’s all gone quite about them very suddenly. He’s used distraction to avoid releasing them.

Musk bailed Trump out financiallly (lawsuits, etc.) AND invested millions in the campaign. MUSK OWNS TRUMP!

Expand full comment

Possible. If that's the case, trump should talk to his dear old friend, Vladimir Putin, about dealing with pesky oligarchs.

Trump and Musk need to be locked up in padded cells.

Along with Muske and the lot!!! They should immediately be arrested and tried for treason but everyone is silent. I have even been locked out accounts I follow for saying so. I will say it for as long as I can. Save our country from Nazis...A Saddened Septuagenarian. 🗽🗽🗽⚖️ ⚖️ ⚖️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

This is more proof that this take over is out of his hands. Who is watching what the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society are doing. Why haven’t Kevin Roberts, Leonard Leo an Elon Musk identified as domestic terrorist that are trying to overthrow our government? They have been financed from some of the darkest money and seems the attention is focused on the wrong threat. WTF is really going down?

The major networks are complicit by omission and selective reporting.

There is a good article I read in The Guardian about Musk and his family history. Not sure I’m allowed to post he link here but you can Google the title:

“How the roots of the PayPal mafia extend to apartheid South Africa”. Everyone should read up on Musk as much as possible.

Exactly. 👍🏼

And others.

Christian Nationalists they have plenty of money

It’s a corrupt cabal of unlikely people who have one aim in mind. Power and control.

Some don’t like Women’s rights, some are racist and that’s what their beef is. The Christians want a return to the 1800’s when Bible Bashing was normal, hay ho let’s all return to scripture lessons no science. God made the world in 7 days. End of. Trump is everything the Bible says we shouldn’t be. But don’t let that get in the way of controlling the population. Republicans and Democrats should be united to protect the Constitution and the people from tyranny Read project 2025. It’s coming. It’s more than a fat old orange narcissist calling the shots. It’s much bigger than that. He’s just a small cog in the much larger Neo Nazi Christian Fundamentalist plot to hi Jack modern society.

Why the media continue to cover the nonsense from trump is beyond me. If he scratches his butt, they give him news coverage, if he sneezes they cover that. Who cares. Just report the important things and stop reporting the nonsense. Let him and musk and all elected republicans drive off that cliff they are on. The sooner the better.

The press actually has no incentive to improve their coverage of events. The press is lazy and overpaid. And no principles. CBS is stunning example of Big Time cowardize.

Well it's like his signing an executive action to go back to plastic straws and not paper. There was no action on paper straws. This is what President is concerned about and he gets it wrong???

Exactly, former presidents receive security briefings and the discretion of the new president.

President Biden stopped Trump from getting them. This reasoning

January 6 and there was no peaceful transfer of power.

Also fact the Trump had many classified documents at his residence

even though requested there return many times that archives had to ask for help from DOJ.

It was the right call for President Biden

Trump is a toddler I can do it cause I can !!

Pres Biden can get info shared from any of his previous Presidental friends

I posted my friend Ivan Lopakhin’s comment because its sentiments match my own. My late mother had a secret clearance from the U.S. Navy, which she had to renew in the Carter administration. She had to relearn the security protocols, which were easy to understand for an educated person, but not for Trump.

I wish President Biden had used his immunity to take care of the Convict, before he left office.

It would have split the team and they would have carried on with Vance regardless. It wouldn’t have been as easy trump is the glue that holds all the separate parts it the faction together.

Expand full comment

True, but how many people were actually supporting Vance? trump should have been taken care of long before the election very quietly.

Expand full comment

I don’t think Trump would go anywhere quietly. And project 25 the Christian nationalist and all the other basket cases wanted their plans put into action. They wanted it before 2020 that is why Trump fought so hard to stay in power hence Jan 6th. That spoiled their plans. I do think the election this time was tampered with likely by musk. Why would he say ‘we don’t need your votes, we have all the votes we need’. Only a lunatic would say that or someone who knew that it was a done deal. That was it for me I knew he would win the moment I heard him say that. What is so important about project 25? Why are the Republicans not outraged as at least half the country is at what is happening to the rule of law. The Supreme Court, what could make them move against everything they have sworn to protect and uphold? Trump is not the architect of all this, he isn’t smart enough. Trump is a means to an end. They must have had to hold their noses to let him into their cabal. Steve Bannon even went to prison, that is a price he had to pay for this!

It still bothers me why Trump would want the presidency? Ego, vanity, a mental disorder that won’t let him quit? money? Or something else? He is nearly 80 years old, and looks it some days. Does he want political revenge? Or just the Noble Peace Prize? What is the eventual outcome and reward for these people? It has to be significant.

Expand full comment

Their reward is taking over the country and mounding it into their White Christofascist Government.

trump wanted to beat Joe Biden and get his revenge.

For the life of me I will never understand that a 78 year old is so childish. It's such an embarrassment to this country.

That’s part of his malignant narcissism and psychopathy. Fantasy and dreams of grandeur not based in reality. Superiority complex, the need for admiration, envious of others and exploitation of vulnerable. Exaggeration. Fixations. He fits the bill on all.

trump is a dumbass, but the corporate media should know better. OK, the corporate media that I grew with knew better (I am 64), but today's corporate media is as stupid as the man that they worship - trump.

Performative politicians gain popularity in grandstanding and making an opera each day. We, the evidence- based analytical brains are exhausted with the unending bs vaudeville and look for nuggets of what is really going on behind planes dropping out skies, price of eggs and the predictable general mayhem. Big Q is how many bodies this time around??? What will appease their gluttony for cruelty?

Trump also demanded prioritization of "Afrikaner refugees" escaping the persecution of South African whites. Apart from the fact that there is no such persecution, even if there were Trump has canceled admission of any refugees from anywhere. So it's Nonexistence Squared.

The real problem is that the people that vote for him don’t know much about how things work. Their ignorance level is staggering. He knows how to get them to vote for him and THAT is all he needs to know.

Frankly it goes beyond knowing how government works. They don’t understand how basic business processes work.

The education level is abysmal. The once that do understand and vote for him want in on the graft.
