Would this happen if the FCC wasn’t probing NPR and Trump wasn’t threatening their federal funding?

Just a total prick. Does anyone think that at any point in his life he denied himself anything? That he sacrificed or went without, ever? And right now, while so many small businesses and retirement funds are losing money because of him, how much you wanna bet he’s getting rich every which way.

Remember Rubio’s tough-guy patriotic talk when he was rightly describing Trump as a “con artist,” and “the most vulgar person to ever aspire to the presidency”? He folded and started kissing Trump’s ass to advance himself. When push comes to shove Rubio will do or say whatever is best for him.

I’ve said it a gazillion times: when he lies or provides an unhinged response to a question or tries to deflect when asked a question — the journalist should not move on until that is made clear. If all you do is stay on one question the whole time, so be it. Here the journalist moves along.

“To point out how the authoritarian movement’s power is faltering is sort of like learning that stage 4 cancer is no longer spreading. It’s good news, yes, but no victory. And like cancer, Trump’s brand of autocracy has come back from remission before.”

More great reporting from Status. It’s all so infuriating — how these news/media execs wrapped themselves in 1st Amendment and profited from that — and now, country club cowards.

Why wouldn’t Moran assertively just state reality? “Mr. President, that photo you keep citing was photoshopped. No matter how many times you insist it wasn’t doesn’t change the real-world fact that it was. Either you are misinformed or lying.” And that would be kind.

On a case-by-case basis many of these were accidents. In the aggregate they constitute an ethos: a determination to break things in a way that the next person won’t be able to put back together—to shatter a way of life so that in the future, no one will even try. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Facts bad. Trump good. Reality is what Trump tells you it is. Your loss is his gain and that’s America’s gain. Your financial loss and struggle means nothing. It’s about Trump winning. It’s about America winning. 100 days of winning. Ignore the math.

Many of the wealthiest Americans ignored Trump’s criminality, cruelty and utter incompetence and voted for him out of greed. Now, because of him, they are bleeding financially, just like everyone else. The difference is they can withstand the losses; the working-poor cannot. It’s disgusting.
