In order to kowtow to trump, CNN pulled fierce critic Jim Acosta from his 10am time slot despite high ratings & offered him 12am to 2am. He chose to resign. His parting comment: "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." www.mediaite.com/news/cnns-ji...

POTENTIALLY A HUGE DEAL: The federal govt awards $100s of billions in grants annually to States, local governments, and NGOs. Without these funds, many NGOs would need to close, It may be a play by trump to wrest spending power from Congress, as he has promised to do. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Day 1 of Our Dark Age: trump overturns The Rule of Law. MAGA supporters convicted of violent crimes against police are pardoned, which sends a message that future violence won't be punished. Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was found guilty of seditious conspiracy & was serving a 22-year sentence.

Day 1 of America's Dark Age: trump overturns The Rule of Law. "...prosecutors said he oversaw the Oath Keepers as they made a plan for an armed rebellion after the 2020 election. Prosecutors said he was on the Capitol grounds as military-style “stacks” of his militia members went into the building.

Day 1: trump overturns The Rule of Law and unleashes rioters to commit more violence without fear of punishment. “I JUST GOT THE NEWS FROM MY LAWYER…I GOT A PARDON BABY! THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!” “NOW I AM GONNA BUY SOME MOTHA FU*KIN GUNS!!! I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!”

We have really lost it: trump as president, fascism rising, disinformation everywhere, truth lost among lies, conspiracy theories mainstream, and worthless cryptocurrencies sprout like weeds with buyers a-plenty!

Trump just appointed another billionaire, Musk-buddy, as NASA Administrator, so more big bucks going Musk's way in the future. They rob from the poor by cutting social programs and give to the rich by cutting taxes, reducing regulations that cost them money, and awarding them more federal contracts.

I think social media by itself is more damaging than pop culture. I also think pop culture and our culture writ large is hurting young men more than women. Imo, young women are doing better than young men.

It's because billionaires are very important people. The little people are unimportant, irrelevant, and replaceable. Their job is to go shopping, vote for the biggest liars, and fight wars when told to do so.

How the hell did so many idiots join the ranks of Republicans in such a short period of time? I mean, it's not just two or three that got elected by accident, there are dozens of them in state and federal govt now that are all out wackos!

Yes, it's all about the money for trump, his family, and for the other billionaires. Everything else is BS to get the support of poor folks. They will rob from the poor (by cutting government social programs) and give to the rich (by cutting their taxes and regulations that cost their businesses $).

These guys spew BS like it was fact all the time. It's annoying that they don't get called on it more. We've had an unelected bureaucracy for over 200 years without concern about democracy slipping away. The real threat didn't start until 1/6/21 as orchestrated by the elected president!

Elon is our first oligarch. Soon there will be several other billionaires helping our great leader Drumpf run the government (to their advantage).

How much bigger, Elon? Can we see the data proving that? Or are you just speculating/guessing?

Imo, destruction is not the plan, it's dictatorship or a Orban/Hungarian-style "illiberal democracy" which is not democracy but one-party rule. I don't believe trump will walk away after four years. He has three sons who can succeed him, and the MAGA elite would love to establish one-party rule.

Quite prescient. There are many causes for where we are, but Sagan put his finger on a big one, "the enormously influential media" that is profit motivated. Since 1996, Rupert Murdoch's Fox News and its misinformation and lies has brainwashed tens of millions of Americans who can't think critically.

"Your body, my choice." We ARE going back, back to the days of patriarchy and misogyny. It was men who won this election for trump, and now they are showing their true nature. “The implication is that men should have control over or access to sex with women” apnews.com/article/trum...

Emboldened 'manosphere' accelerates threats and demeaning language toward women after US election

An emboldened fringe of right-wing “manosphere” influencers has seized on Donald Trump’s presidential win to justify and amplify misogynistic derision and threats online.

I think this means all the counties voted either trump or Harris. It is definitely true that low education states are red and higher education states vote blue. That may make us feel good but remember there are always more less educated folks than high. They used to vote blue but the Dems lost them.

Metaomnia @metaomnia.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

I agree. We are at Trump's mercy. Democracy depends on how far he will go to establish an Orban-Hungarian-style "illiberal democracy," which is not democracy. That is why '26 is so important. We need to elect as many Dems as possible at all levels to block their attempts to control future elections.

Effective 1/20/25, the inmates will officially be running the asylum. "The shining city on a hill" has fallen hard and fast since trump came down the escalator.

That sounds good. The only problem is that if Biden pardons them, it gives the appearance that they did something they need to be pardoned for. They didn't break any laws; he did! I'd rather they fought back and proved their innocence so more people would see how evil and vindictive he is.

Make it make sense? Well, as you say, they don't care about the humanities and arts; it's all about the money they can make by exploiting those who do care with AI generated crap.

Our great leader is hawking guitars now, the latest in a long line of things to sell to his simple-minded followers. They can strum a few chords as they read the trump bible while wearing his mugshot t-shirt and golden sneakers.

Religion is poison. The 2 worst things in the Constitution are freedom of religion and the 2nd Amendment. Organized religion is run by grifters, phonies, pedophiles, and sociopaths who exploit others. Morality can be taught without religion. The Golden Rule and a few other principles are sufficient.

The next 4 years we must resist MAGA and protect our democracy from authoritarianism because once it's gone, we won't get it back. In the '26 election it will be essential to get Dems in office in Congress and at all levels in the states in order to block MAGA's attempts to rig the '28 election.

This happened back in the 90s too, when Gingrich was Speaker. They were denutted and began serving up pablum. I stopped listening, but no doubt they don't have much good to say about Trump or MAGA. They're an easy target and the GOP may kill them off this time. Thankfully, they can't defund the BBC

Exactly! After a few years of this, Musk will probably be the world's first trillionaire. He is rapidly becoming the most powerful man on earth, second only to der Fuehrer Drumpf. www.snopes.com/fact-check/d...
