President Trump 2.0: The NEW one and only politics thread

[Songbird]

So as he said So help me, God, I went out for a long picture-taking walk in the oldest part of the city.

Welcome back to Trump's and Ol' Tin Voice's world.

Please, she's the wife of the Hamburglar.

How's she gonna outdo her transformative "Be Best" initiative in this term?

New thread, same gimmick.

Ah.

 

[Alma]

Yes. It's a steaming pile of bullship. Get up-to-date, accurate talking points.

You asherting it doesn't make you any more correct.

1) There are no newsrooms. Corporate greed killed them.
2) True.
3) This is because the Trumpist klan is a threat to democracy, decency and anything in the Constitution that it decides to dislike.
JV Vance, the VP, has endorsed and written the preamble to a book that says everybody who isn't of a particular Christian worldview is an "unhuman" who must be eradicated.
Furthermore, the political leanings of the rank and file are irrelevant. The rich and powerful of the media ownership establishment control the actual impact that outlets can have. And they have decided that they won't pursue truth or express opinion if such actions might disturb the lord and savior.

I think this is an honest answer, although I do think it's relevant if the rank-and-file lean so hard to one side politically that it leads to stories simply not being covered and ideas being quashed because of the "implications" it might have among your newsroom teammates. You can look at the AP as an example. NPR, too.

It's not like Trump is their boss or anything. Why not openly mock him?

I am correct. And you're just rolling out the same lies and bullship that have never been true.

The line has been pushed so far to the right after decades of relentless attacks that truth and facts are now considered "liberal" and mean to republicans. It's completely forking absurd and you know it. "Enemy of the people" ring a goddamned bell?

You should be happy. Now even the illusion of trying to accurately report on this administration is over. It won't be allowed for the most part by the corporate overlords.

But, you're trolling so I guess this is what you want. To toss out nonsensical crap to get a reaction.

My fault for engaging.

But "liberal media" is lazy, stupid and wrong.
