Trump is being coached by Putin which is why I cringe when people say trump is too stupid to overthrow our government.
We know the expert on dictatorship, inhumanity, and plunder (namely Putin) is in regular communication with trump & Putin is well-studied on how to take power from a country.

Yes! He brilliantly and evilly uses his pet l, while long-term divided us from within, and laughs at the potential demise of EVERY single one of us, including the puppet.

For those who say trump & his regime are too stupid to overthrow our government & replace it with a harsh & inhumane dictatorship don’t understand that he is being coached by an expert/keen student on plundering a country, and that’s Putin, who we all must understand trump is in communication with.

Getting opposing messages growing up never helps. As the son of a Republican mother (albeit back in the day when Republicans mainly played nice) and an FDR father, with an older brother who voted for Trump 3 times, I know.

Pathetic.

Getting Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier off TV would do a lot to restore trust.

Well that’s one more “news” outlet I can ignore. Sad cause I had high hopes for @semafor.com @semaforben.bsky.social

Am I showing my age in not knowing who Ben Smith is?

artistrandy.bsky.social•39 days ago

Ben Smith, I don't recognize the name. What did he do?

fedupandreadytogo.bsky.social•39 days ago

Mediocre white dude who is in love with himself.

commander42.bsky.social•39 days ago

That hardly narrows down the field.🥹

bkbrownva.bsky.social•39 days ago

Just chalk up another outlet to ignore.

fedupandreadytogo.bsky.social•39 days ago

I have been already when he said it was okay for reporters to hook up with sources.

This, please. Every single media member or journalist. Every single time.

So Smith is planning a “Summit” on rebuilding public trust in the media and celebrating the participation of the people most responsible for destroying public trust in the media?

Just the obscene self-importance of calling it a “Summit” screams his out-of-touch arrogance.
