"Meanwhile, on the network’s airwaves, viewers are bombarded with constant appeals from hosts to invest in Newsmax, letting them know they can even purchase shares via credit card."
I draw some hope from this, that Trump's idiot followers will be financially drained by all the grifters and they won't have anything left to donate to Trump. Many, many kids and grandkids will be finding out that inheritance they were expecting from Grandpa isn't there any more.
This may sound a bit ignorant but isn`t Project 2025 just a standard republican strategy paper? Isn`t what`s in it exactly what republicans always wanted to do?
No. We've never had, on paper, a plan that lays out the details for how you would convert hundreds of thousands of federal employees from civil service to "political appointees" so they could all be fired. And that's just one item in the list.
Unfortunately most of these big media brands just want to keep rage-baiting and pitting us against each other instead of uniting to actually make important changes
Newsmax? Where’s Zeteo and Medhi? Last we all heard the Democrats need to put on there big boy pants and Kamala Harris is the heir apparent. I saw an interview with Marianne Williamson today on ABC. It flashed me back to Medhi doing an unnecessarily hostile takedown of her on MSNBC. She made a lot of sense in the interview Today. Medhi also was a bit hostile to Imran Khan just before he was imprisoned. I’m kind of feeling like we got fooled again. What is going on? We’re in the middle of national crisis and we’re getting fluff pieces.
By "heir apparent" do you mean that she's the actual Vice President and if Biden died tomorrow she would automatically assume the office? So she does seem to have a claim to legitimate right to succeed Biden (should he leave, which he won't) that others don't have? Is that what you meant?
Excellent newsletter from Mr. Baragona! Much of this racist/combative propaganda constantly pollutes Social Media as well as Cable TV. You'd think that after all we learned about Nazi propaganda in the 1930's and during the Second World War, this very dangerous level of extreme right-wing media would be illegal. Unfortunately not. Instead, here we are, dealing with a criminal media empire, much of it controlled by insidious ruthless billionaires.
To paraphrase Damon Young (and with apologies to him), Biden been Trump! They're both doddering old men who are like 5 seconds from challenging each other to a fight by the flagpole during recess.

Do you see any differences between them?
Yes.
Good, so do I!
A refreshing change in this politically deadbeat season.
