The Washington Post recently ran a headline for an article laying out Trump’s plan for implementing the Heritage Foundation’s ‘Project 2025’ as a ‘muscular Oval Office’ and described what amounts to plans for a Trump-led dictatorship as a ‘post-Constitutional’ vision.
I truly wish you well, as I'm sure most friends and allies do. But there are odds stacked against you. Rupert Murdoch and the rest of the right-wing media, the corruptible justice system including the supreme court, and the voting system, to name but three. And a populace that has been dumbed down to the point where they think Trump is the messiah!
It doesn't bode well but I pray I'm proved wrong 🙏
It is amazing to me that Trump has any support but than again his believers are so misinformed and ignorant of reality and his " performance " in office. A serial bankrupt "leading" the nation, really? And really, many of us, a nation of infants. "Well, we are unhappy with prices" and the economy is great but these people can't come to grips with big picture much less the finer details of the "actual" economy.
So disappointed with the "average" American. WTAF already?
The Fairness Doctrine needs to be reinstated. There is no pressure now for news outlets to tell the truth, and they won't self-police because it's not as profitable as skating as close to the line as possible with sensationalism, innuendo, and both-sides-ism. These are scary times.
MSNBC, CNN, PBS, and other networks (not named Fox Not News and those others who don't deserve to be named) should interview people like Noel, Dr Bandi Lee MD, Heather Cox Richardson, Ruth Ben-Ghiat (although she does get some, though not enough air time) and others. The predicament we are in is a failure of the mainstream media and cable TV for not presenting honest reality in the interest of being "fair" and "balanced". The GOP has their own rule and playbook, based on lies and cheating - they used it to beat Hilleary, they used it to discredit the Muller Report (which has in it at least a dozen counts of collusion and obstruction of justice for which Trump could add to his already 88 indictments, they used it to down play the utter failure and deadly response to the pandemic, they used is to downplay the severity of the two impeachments, etc etc. Trump has cheated and lied every day of his life. The SC is corrupt and failing because it is stacked with cheaters and liars who don't deserve to be on it. Aileen Cannon and the GOP Supreme Court in Georgia is aiding and abetting the demise of democracy. If the networks persist in this "fairness" and "balanced reporting" crap, we are doomed. There must be some way to get the truth and the facts out there to the undecided and those who are clueless or misinformed, but whose vote count. I had one idea: Prior to sentencing, Trump has to be interviewed by a parole officer and a psychologist/psychiatrist -
Dr. Lee, if you are listening, here's your chance - interview and examine Trump as part of the parole process. Make your interview PUBLIC (the Goldwater Rule does not apply). Let the world see how dangerous and unfit Trump AND ALL HIS SUPPORTERS are.
We will change it. All of it. People are nuts and when the ones that can, come to their senses, we will shake our head and move on to better and brighter. The alternative is unacceptable. We can do this. As Joe says - we can do anything, if we do it together. 💙 vote.

Thank you Noel!

Didn't we fight a damn Revolution over this? Maybe we are headed for another one--never mind a civil war!
The biggest problem is that the media ownership pool keeps getting smaller & smaller...& some of the owners are scum.
