18. No way Trump ever lets this go to discovery. An empty threat.
Sun Jul 20, 2025, 10:48 AM
Yesterday

Murdoch wishes the case would actually be brought. That would sell a lot of newspapers.

But the bigger story is that it sure looks like Murdoch is through with Trump.

It is not coincidental that so many different players just happened to turn on Trump the week after the Big Billionaire Bill was signed into law. This is a highly coordinated event and THAT is why Trump is having his freak-out. it isn't just Musk. It is all of his powerful supporters who aren't already in the cabinet. And for the MAGA base to also parrot the billionaires, you can bet there is a whole lot of robo-agitating going on in MAGA-world.

BUT ... beware the words of Emerson. "When you strike at the king, you must kill him". Will these weenies kiss and make up in a few weeks as they always have before? This looks irreparable to me.
