    And social media is awash with conservatives claiming this proves it was all a lie the entire time. So many own-goals recently.

    Is any institution going to stand up to this buffoon?

      No, highly doubtful. They are all scared of him. You could see it in the ““LeFt WiNg”” coverage of him vs anyone else in the last few years on the MSM. I am quite concerned for the independent media that is not scared of him.

      I am ambivalent on this, I both am very concerned for the world order, while at the same time I cannot wait to see the fallout of this choice of the American people.

        I felt this way in 2016. Now I’m just scared to see what the country looks like four years from now, and I’m not at all convinced he (or Vance) will leave.

      They’re all running scared. So no. They did it out of fear he’d use his new federal toys to take down their network.

      That’s why everyone is kissing the ring: META, Google, Amazon, etc.

      Wasn’t there a book describing this? Seems to me it was about 40 years ago.

    ABC Settles With Trump in a Case It Could Have Won … if Trump wasn’t in power

    I think everyone understands or should understand that once Turnip takes power, nothing is going to work as intended, especially anything against Turnip. Which is why ABC needs to settle now because later may never happen for this case.

    I don’t agree with it but I understand why
