by starting his own network or buying a controlling share of OANN, so they have more than one reason to be panicking.

If anyone (Putey-daddy) let him run it, we know he'd just run it into the ground like the Hindenburg anyway. (ETTD)

But maybe it's more a matter of moving some of his assets in the Caymans to someone else's Caymans account to buy a piece of a TV network? Or swapping some of his Gazprom shares or whatever his sugar daddy paid him with.

But, if they had any scruples, they could fill the time between ads for bogus products with support for policies that would help people have enough money to buy that junk.

However, I guess if they stopped appealing to people's worst instincts, they might start thinking clearly and stop buying the useless crap in the ads that pay the Faux network's bills and line Murdoch's pockets.

He's sitting there doing nothing. Then he moves the paper up an inch, and the man in glasses standing over him, looks down at him after he does that.

Love that!

And that is exactly what I keep saying to everyone: Trump did NOTHING in 4 years—except focus on his re-election. I think he did more for Putin than the U.S.

I'm so glad I don't watch news on TV, of any type. Love this video, but I just have to say:

What the f**k do these people think? Narcissistic, megalomaniac who's *clearly* never given a crap about anyone but himself and now they're confused about what he's doing? Morons, he's doing exactly what he's done from the get-go which you've enabled. Now you're up to the point where it's pretty obvious you're going to get your sorry asses handed to you and you're scratching your head as if this behavior deviates from what we've endured the last hellish 3.5 years.

Piss off.

When it is a proven fact since WWII the economy (for the masses, not just the rich) has always performed better under Democratic Administrations. Always. There are so many falsehoods about Dems taken for granted that are just not true. Soft on crime, wanting open borders, giving money away to everyone, higher taxes, all mostly bullshit. The Republicans screw things up for eight years, (Trump only took two, but was around for four) then the Dems have to step in and fix things. Then the spin machine demonizes the Dems and we get another Republican elected that screws things up, repeat the process, over and over.

When will people see that Republicans are very good at politicking, but terrible at governing. They have proven this non-stop for over fifty years. Please let this be the end of it.
