I think the cult just likes that he allows them to be their worst selves. After being told for years that they are bad for being racist, sexist bigots finally some powerful person who is all those things becomes president and so they feel justified in being the awful humans they are.
Strong talk from someone who fits all the criteria for an antichrist. Dear Mr. President, how's your pedo spiritual advisor doing? Called him yet? Drafting a pardon for your fellow child molester?
He is both. His rise and subsequent tyranny are the result of a decades-long plan by autocratic moneyed interests, but the rapid dissolution of political norms was very much his doing.
Our courts don't work that quickly, but probably the initial hearings will be the defense asking for dismissal with prejudice and the prosecutor having to explain why this isn't actually exactly what everyone knows it is.
Unless it goes to Cannon's court, in which case Comey will get the death penalty.
This is practically textbook malicious prosecution. The social media post by Trump and the statute of limitations being only days away at the time of indictment make me expect any non-MAGA federal judge to toss this case immediately. The defendant has such a good affirmative defense that this going to trial would be an embarrassment to the court.
Fully Agree that Sinclair is a problem, but you can't really boycott them aside from just not watching their channels.
Also, I kind of disagree about them being the real puppet masters. I've worked for an affiliate before. The network holds all the cards in that relationship. Sinclair saying they won't run network content will just cause them to lose their affiliate status, ABC can just not provide them any content at all, then what will they put on the air? Especially since Disney owns a great deal of syndicated content as well. It's a pointless bluff statement and ABC/Disney know it, they are just choosing to go along with the fascism.
I'd boycott Disney, except I haven't given them any money for years now. They are an awful company and stifling political speech is perfectly in line with their prior actions.
I had a spirited discussion with an LG repair guy working on the smart fridge that came with my home. I don't allow malware on my network so the fridge doesn't get to do whatever a fridge needs internet access for.
He tried to scare me by saying it would connect to whatever network was available but I live in the sticks and there isn't even cell coverage here much less another router for it to connect to so unless they are putting a satellite uplink in it that would not happen and I would think he knew that since I had to put him on my guestnet so he could call his support line.
So then he said it wouldn't work properly unless it was on the network and I told him if it somehow connected I would use an ACL to ensure it couldn't talk to anything.
Anyway, bought a cheap fridge from CostCo with an extended warranty and they dumpstered that LG POS. Good riddance.
I stopped watching her generally when she put up her poorly thought out, TERF-filled anti-trans video, but the "Capitalism is good, actually" video came up in my feed and I watched it out of curiosity.
It's so wrong it's impossible to know where to begin. She invents a history of money that didn't happen, defines capitalism in a nonsensical way and in the comments admitted she did no research for the video whatsoever and yet still defended her points as if her absolute ignorance on the subject was somehow laudable.
Absolute buffoon. Nobody should watch her videos. She is intellectually dishonest and generates ignorant content to garner clicks.
Look, your heart is in the right place, but your entire premise is built on a single word choice in my post about a man worthy of every ounce of scorn I can muster. Take a step back and realze that me being angry about mainstream media outlets like NYT and MSNBC falling over themselves to honor this vile man isn't evidence of anything more than that. You have misread this situation.
Trump does love stiffing people who work for him.
