ABC’s settlement with Trump feels like it could be an inflection point in the Orbanization of our politics.
I hope it isn’t.
I hope it isn’t.

And not sure what to do about it.
if i were abc cbs whoever i'd tell trump to fk off no one is covering you you fat fascist fkhead
let them talk to fox and merit news
Another one bites the dust. #RIPABCNews #GFYCowardlyGeorge
This too shall pass Bill. I take great solace that Trump is almost 79 & wears $hit filled diapers.
"I feel much better since I gave up hope."
Real patriots will fight
$3.9 trillion for California,
$1.6 trillion or NY state,
$1.286 trillion for NYC.
What the heck is happening?
The illusion of the will to power.
The thing is that he just found dirt on them and is extorting them to keep it secret or something. He's got something on them. We haven't learned what it is yet.
Like it’s a donation masked as a settlement
Trump and his Oligarchs are aspirational regarding the U.S. wealth.
so...yeah, figures
lately. Politics is a septic tank, sports
is still a Roman circus and we make
movies celebrating villainy more than
heroism (Joker 2, Kraven, Venom, etc).
I've seen America abandon the Black
Community, the LGBTQ, the poor,
Women, now reason itself is abandoned?

Srap in, authoritarianism lasts forever and yet falls very quickly. See Syria.
Eventually when people regret choosing this, conditions may have become too risky to rise up. You have to give them to a ray of hope. A North Star. Once that's gone, it's really a long haul.
Unquestioned fealty from "The Press" will be demanded or Trump will punish them using legal & possibly illegal methods.
The #LegacyMedia appears to have already given up reporting truthfully about Trump & his minions.
Also, I hate the way libel suits have been atomically weaponized these days, but the left has its hand in that cookie jar at least as much.
Yes. He did.
ABC made a business decision.
It was a bad decision for America.
That’s exactly what it is.
We are watching the dissolution of Constitutional Democracy in the USA in real time.
That was 8 fucking years ago.
know a MAGA family with the Americanized version of that surname.
It's a protection racket out in the open now. "Gee, I'd hate for anything to happen to this company..."
but media just shrug at treasonous, adjudicated rapist being POTUS again

Victor Orban and the Subversion of Hungary
She was an early insider ally of Orban's breaking from him when he went autocratic. Read book and thought, no way in US, because we are too diversified, yet here we are a monied aristocracy.
Very, very frightening.
Not the normal we do it for a couple of days.
The only language they speak is money. We have to remind them that advertisers don’t pay for a few billionaires to watch their shows. They pay for us. And if we aren’t watching they aren’t paying.
"Corporate support coming out of the woodwork" - Reince Priebus
I feel bad for elected Dems like @raskin.house.gov and @repdangoldman.bsky.social who believe so strongly that a weak rule of law and weakened constitution will still be salient in July 2025.
If they’d read their oath in the last few years they would’ve known what to do.

That the vast majority of our citizens have been brainwashed to think corporations have ethics , morals or a conscience is a criminal conspiracy.
The good ship #InflectionPoint sailed years ago.
While you were at right wing talking point harbor, the ship of #Hope also sailed.
Glad you could join us at this, the final hour.

No use to watch them anymore.
It's like the "good guys" are just giving up.
