You can just look at Trump and see he's insane

cygnusxyz.bsky.social•1 hour ago

How pathetic that he has to state that reporting facts is "risking his job."

The mainstream media is beyond useless. The powers that be are cowardly clowns.

@cnbc.com

shopgirl2694.bsky.social•8 hours ago

It just occurred to me that this guy just said his "boss" was going to be mad. Mad for telling the truth? @cnbc.com isn't that what they are supposed to do?

stevenw61.bsky.social•8 hours ago

I don’t understand why is it at the risk of his job. Linesman is speaking the truth

25th amendment insane?

the-tip.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Risking your job to state the obvious is where we are now. The markets are in freefall, businesses are scrambling, and 401ks are shrinking, all because one guy thinks trade wars are ‘good’ Spoiler: they aren’t. And everyone but him seems to get that.

Did I hear the host attempt to justify the 51st state position of Trump because he was angry about the electricity surcharge? You all have to stop enabling this madness.

Playtime is over. It is time for the big boys on Wall Street to call it a day. They should pull the rug on Donald. Don’t tell us that there aren’t any sneaky Republicans who can give some perks to Wall Street without the Trump lunacy heartburn headache and US demise. Fund theese guys,unplug Trump

At one point I thought they would actually be the ones to put a stop to this bullshit. No way they’re going to let one ketamine freak permanently destroy the entire economy (without getting their share.) Now I’m not sure we aren’t too far gone.

Tells you everything you need to know about CNBC, oddly enough. “I’ve decided to report the news on this newscast. so this is probably my last day…”

isammis.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Also answers a lot of “how did we get here” questions. A huge fraction of what appear to be news broadcasts in the US simply aren’t.

Give him a promotion and a big raise, he's the only guy I've heard telling it like it is lately

Lawrence O’Donnell of MSNBC has plenty to say as well. His broadcast last night is worth a listen.

Perhaps a few wealthy get wealthier, but the 98% get poorer and the entire country gets destabilized. I guess the jet set won’t care. They’ll just soar over it all.

Scary that he even thinks to preface it with "I'm going to say this at the risk of my job." I remember when we used to have free speech. Sad how far we have fallen in just a few weeks.

Action not words required!

blueskydriving.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Only two months in.

Just the fact that Liesman has to “risk losing his job” by giving an opinion that does not support Trump shows you how quickly we can lose legitimate independent media.

Crazy ... Like a fox.

Recessions are good for billionaires.
They snap up stocks and properties for bargain prices.
Trump will create govt stimulus checks that funnel billions to the corporations.
The rich made out like bandits during COVID.

melilaand.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Yes they get richer no greedier and we have to struggle twice as much just to survive

rockymountviews.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Yes. They will literally starve the poor, the disabled, the elderly.

Additionally, Trump's policies will destroy smaller farms and businesses that will mean less competition for huge corporations.

Meanwhile, JD leads the way to buying up land from struggling farmers. It’s a golden opportunity to cash in big for the moneyed class, much of it foreign. There has never been a less patriotic team running the country.

Every moment we allow this shit to go on is another reason we deserve everything that's coming to us. At a certain point we're all responsible & can't hide behind the "inconveniences" of the moment as an excuse. The longer we wait, the more damage/death we "allow" to exist.

How did America end up being a country afraid of free speech overnight? You're risking something by questioning, critiquing, or cussing out the President? I don't remember Biden or Obama ever threatening anyone for that. You know who did? Hitler, Tito, Stalin....
