Summary

60 Minutes plans to enrage Donald Trump Sunday with an episode bashing his intimidation efforts—despite being in a legal battle with the president themselves.

“Now in the White House, Trump is using executive orders to target some of the biggest law firms in the country that he accuses of ‘weaponizing’ the justice system against him.”

The drama between Donald Trump and CBS has heated up in recent weeks after the show’s executive producer, Bill Owens, abruptly quit after 37 years, accusing CBS executives of interfering with the program and pandering to Trump amid his $20 billion lawsuit.

CBS and Trump’s settlement discussions have taken place as Paramount Global seeks the president’s approval of its merger with Skydance, an American media production company.

    Just about nothing would make me happier than to have him not wake up ever again. A complete disgrace to America and the world. May he die painfully and soon.

      My sister-in-law, the chillest and least likely person I know to ever say this, actually wished death on Trump the other day. He’s done so much global damage, and it hasn’t even been a year.

      He’s an actual scourge.

        Yep. Fuck every single person who ever told us that Trump wasn’t as bad as others. Even if technically hasn’t done as wrong as others, the trend he’s setting in motion is by far the worst thing to have happened in world history if it continues

        Every time I see him making a public speech, I keep my fingers crossed, and wish for his head to explode from a high caliber bullet.

        Same with all of his henchmen.

        It’s a common thing. My mother and sister who always preach non violence, have lately been saying how someone needs to raise money to have cult 47 pewpewed.

        In terms of total global damage, I’m not sure if Trump can hold a candle to Putin.

        Though the two are cut from the same cloth.

          Russia doesn’t have nearly as much influence over global markets as the US.

          Edit: But Putin has had a much longer political career and has probably set things into motion that we won’t ever be able to confirm his involvement in. So you might be right.

          Today was the first time that it ever occurred to me that the US propaganda of “Hitler was the worst person who ever lived” might have been in part to cover up the US’s own history of genocide.

            The American genocides were a multitude of different actions by different colonial powers across centuries.

            Hitler did it in a decade with the power of modern industry.

      The horn on my truck will also die that day from overuse as I drive through this backwards-ass bumfuck low-IQ confederate county blaring it from end to end for hours.

      He’s got the dementia going pretty hard now, with the MS13 tattoo and the Harvard / Harlem confusion thing within just a few days.

      It should become a national holiday like 4/20. Or we can all choose never to speak his name again. “He who shall not be named”

        Why? Make his name well known for the shit stain in human history that it is. The mystique would only make him more appealing for future generations.

      I wouldn’t be sad if someone created a large campfire where he, Elon, McConnell, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Green, etc. are the logs.

      May he die alone, clutching his chest while crying out for a Big Mac and Diet Coke; his only loved ones.
