sad

they have failed themselves, and America

they've continued to normalize and sanewash. The only thing I see even the slightest pushback on is the firing of Lisa Cook, but then again that involves some of the elites' money.

And now in the news, tsf may be backing down on sending troops to Illinois. There is a lot happening out there. Nicholle Wallace had a great show tonight.

Duckworth and Pritzger speeches were on MSNBC and Sen Warren will be on at 9, Jen Psaki's show.

I knew Gov. Pritzker was standing up to him and hoping he'd eventually back down. Fingers still crossed!🤞

I read that tsf doesn't want to be embarrassed by Pritzker. He is no match for the Gov!

I used to be a small part of that audio/video/print machinery. I'm embarrassed when I watch what passes for media coverage these days. I think they're all just afraid of him. That's NOT how it's supposed to work! Politicians are supposed to be afraid of the press, NOT the other way around.

I don't think they're all in Fox News mode (kissing Trump ass) so much as they are afraid of being targeted by him

either way it ENABLES HIM

of being fired by their billionaire bosses and not being able to find a new job.

the rich fucks are kissing Trump ass hoping for big favors

equally CULPABLE.

they certainly are not patriots

they’re waiting him out. Unfortunately, Jan 20, 2029 is a long time to wait. Trump is just going to get worse.

Big corporations are doing the same thing. They have the luxury of waiting and enduring the tariffs that small businesses don’t have.

… politicians use to be worry that the Press would expose something the politician feared would damage him/her, and they might lose their status. The cult phenomenon, along with Тяцмp‘s demonization of the Press, has erased that power. Тяцмp Doesn’t fear them. He has learned that his cult will never turn on him, and consequently he can cower the media.

Can you imagine a story on a football game written by someone who didn't see it?

the press sucks it up because they are maga. corporate america, including the press, is all in on trump and his insane vision for america.

nt

Tell him to his face he's a sociopath?

Ratings...

But yeah, I have no faith in journalists to stop this. The ones who cover him at least do not seem interested in that at all. They are part of the problem.

Never has been.

if there were no FOXPAC et al, assuming you're using "press" in place of "news media."

"Well, when the President does it ... that means that it is not illegal."

But I saw snippets over the years and the very well done Frost/Nixon movie that came out in the 2000s.

Opus Dei is a fascist far right cult in the Catholic Church.

It doesn’t support democracy.

I remember thinking — the system works. I held that close to my heart for decades.

When this SCOTUS gave its ruling on Trump’s criminal behavior, and said that a president in office most certainly IS above the law, my blood pressure went up so high I thought I was going to have a stroke.

Nixon & Trump are evil — astonishingly, Trump is more so because of his enablers. But 6 members the current SCOTUS are also doing terrible evil to the fabric of our nation’s laws.

based on past comments. Still, I am not counting on them.

he really, REALLY wanted to be revered in history as a major statesman . Trump's priorities lie in a very different direction.

sane washes anything trump says.

And welcome to the "Grinding My Teeth in Disgust" club.

I have the right to do anything I want, because no one will do anything about it"

Trump believes he can act in this way because the Supreme Court has given him absolute immunity to do anything. And his Project 2025 fellow fascists continue to promote the fiction of the "unitary executive."

Welcome to DU!

If we take back the House next year, OR the House AND the Senate, maybe we can at least start doing something about this.

welcome to DU! We need all the help we can get

the felon keeps pushing somebody will push back. Meaning us.

A few months ago he put up a new electronic billboard at an intersection. And in big red letters it said something like:

"Donald Trump is the greatest president America has ever had and has done more things to help Americans than any other president in history!"

That's all it said until a week later it had a realtor ad showing her pretty face and a red dress on.

I've gotten so used to looking right instead of left there when I drive by, I have no idea what it says now.

I can't imagine living in an area where a business person would proudly do that. Now I'm not saying that there are no trump supporting realtors in CA, but they know better than to alienate the majority of their would be clients.

However, the area this sign was installed is a VERY growing blue and black community, so I keep waiting to see it smashed to pieces.

They're so fucking delusional they think they can "change people's minds" by INSTALLING BIG ELECTRONIC BILLBOARDS TELLING US WHAT TO THINK.

Of course they'll cry free speech for that fascist public display while violently arresting peaceful protestors and banning books.

It's actually small when compared to some of the church electronic signs around here.

Those kinds of signs are under regulations from a City.

And he's shitting gold everywhere.

John Roberts and his band of sycophants told me I could.

Just wow.

No they aren't bowing down to Chump. A lot of them are finally - FINALLY! - showing some backbone and calling him on his lies. They are questioning him and fact-checking him. He doesn't LIKE THAT!

The billboard he rented should be invoiced to Chump as a personal expense. It's not within the scope of the presidency to rent billboards for any reason.

Uncle Sam should not pay for this. We already pay the salaries of all of his White House staff which includes all of the press staff and public relations employees. No president has ever done this and Chump isn't doing it either.

They also have full, uncontested control of the executive branch, both parts of the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. In addition they control a majority of state houses and legislatures.

And now they have a fully publicly funded unaccountable private army building.

Its not happening. It happened.

who "own the press."

Stay Strong. Resist! And fuck Trump and his fascist pigs. I'm old, tired, and pissed off.

...even when we're being assaulted by the enemy & about to be overrun.

I will never say "we've lost" & give up before the real fight has even begun. I will never surrender in advance, & when "foxhole" time comes, & sadly I fear there's a very real chance it will come, we will need thousands & hopefully a million or more like-minded persons to defend our country.

Trump's fascist grip on the country it the inevitable outcome of pardoning Richard Nixon instead of prosecuting him, failing to impeach Reagan for Iran-Contra, failing to impeach George H. W. Bush for Iran-Contra, failing to impeach George W. Bush for manufacturing pretenses to go to war, illegal surveillance of Americans, and conducting torture, and failing to convict Trump for abuse of power, obstruction, and incitement of insurrection.

He’s sick AF, no question of that.

they doing anything. It really pissed me off. No blame for the GOP Congress that has abdicated its powers, it's all the Democrats fault.

of multiple health issues. Trying to maintain control in one area because he has no control in others.

This too shall pass.

He's also criminally insane.

He's not. What we need are the names of those deployed.

They need to be punished for following orders once the regime falls.

And it is all due to the filthy-rich capitalist who are allowed to accumulate more wealth than a small country.

So what do these obscenely rich egomaniacs do besides raping small children? They put in as ruler a psycho, pedophile, idiot, dementia riddled, buffoon, fascist dictator. They put him in charge because they can get him to do the stupidest, most immoral and greedy things they can think of. He is their puppet. Thank Bill Gates, Zuckerberg and Bezos for giving us pedo Trump, dictator in charge

Yes. But we are right to question whether some in positions of great responsibility are up to the task.

and insult and harass all they want, and insist that all is well, nothing more can be done, but we have bigger fish to fry than that nonsense.

From what I'm learning, a malignant narcissist believes they know everything and can do anything. And they will not listen to anyone who does not agree with them.

do you have a link?

of this cretin is necessary. Russia, China and India are installing themselves as a new world order, because of this inept sick unstable man/child. He has unleashed the National Guard on the American people, what don't people understand??? that he is assaulting Americans in front of all us and the world to see.

But 6 days ago he did say that

Today it may just be, "mumble, mumble, slur, slur, shhh, fuuuu, unintelligible, ma Am gr ag......."

During a 2025 interview with The Atlantic, Donald Trump said, "the second time, I run the country and the world." If you or I were to walk around saying that, we'd be admitted to the psych ward for our own protection.
