It accelerated us on a track that we had been on for awhile. The Federal Election Campaign Act that tried to curtail this was in 1977. When the party machines collapsed and parties shifted to primaries instead of closed-room candiate selection, we shifted to donor funding.

Because pissing off their (CBS's) Audience is how Fox gets such big numbers on their ratings. They don't have enough Business Brain to pause, and notice that Fox serves an entire demographic... and they serviced a different one. Just acting like Fox won't get you Fox's Audience.

Just a wild guess, but we just might hear from Trump today that Iran is begging for a peace deal. And also that Canada is begging for a trade deal. Then we might learn that big strong men came up to Trump with tears in their eyes thanking him for being the best president ever.

Even as consumer prices continue rising, Trump continues to falsely claim that they’re falling — and even that they’re down since he returned to office. Of course, Trump is blatantly lying. The reality is that prices are actually UP 4.3% over that period.
