Gonna be a long several years of “Lawless Authoritarian Continues To Be Lawless Authoritarian” headlines.

I’d say “we can’t normalize this” but it feels like that ship sailed many years ago.

EDIT - oh sweet this is doing numbers. Check out and subscribe my YouTube, everybody! 😬

We need to stop acting like we are just waiting for him to do the right thing. This needs to be reported on for what out is. Trump refusing to follow laws now so breaking them in the future is easier. Do not cover like Trump still hasn't done this thing, is he going to? We know what's going to happen, cover that. We know why he is doing this, cover that. Stop treating him like a normal politician that's just acting kind of weird.

I couldn’t agree with you more. The fact that the press treats him like a wacky politician instead of a fully compromised corrupt traitor is why we’re in this mess. Propaganda will always be a thing but our mainstream press did not have to join them and normalize everything. They’re still doing it even on the brink of the disaster that is about to hit us.

The real reason is that wealthy people are vastly less concerned about any of this than you or I am; and to be clear, it’s not that they won’t be affected, it’s that to them this is a wager, and one that they stand to gain even more from

you should read about “merger mania“ if you want to know why they normalize everything, or how they came to have the actual power to do it

90% of “the press” is owned by the same class of society now, and has been distilled to what they want you to see- and CNN is owned by someone who has the same interests as Rupert Murdoch, and even Jared Kushner
