This is another of his very interesting posts:
Short Thread about CP by @frances94354144 on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App
Western media has become totally detached from reality. They are always going for the cheap doom & gloom, because fear sells. They are drifting from information to pure entertainment, with no accountability. This is our main challenge for this decade.

Note how the media tends to always be critical of moderates (booooring!), inadvertently sponsor populists (exciting! Outrageous!) then when people switch to populists/extremists because of that the media start scaremongering (OMG democracy at risk! No shit, Sherlock!?). Insane.

The media were the watchdogs of democracy, but they are now so committed to profit and private interests that they can barely perform their duty. There's a general lack of morals in the media, profit over principles, and no accountability whatsoever. We have to fix this.

Yes, it’s about clicks and $, but many of the mainstream newspapers and other media are also owned by “fiscal conservatives”.

I wonder if the “left” will ever forgive mainstream media for how they’ve behaved the last ten years. The Republicans/MAGA already distrusted them, but now, after the things they’ve pulled…

Ugh does having orange dumpty grope, drool, fondle and paw the flag qualify? In one video he looks like he wants to have sex with it , declares his love for it, and the poor flag wants no part of these shennanigans. Blech.

Trump should make it clear he wants people to do time for BURNING the flag. If he sticks to just desecration, a lot of MAGA folk are going to be doing time.

Well, he's said it out loud. And without any equivocating. So how will the "press" handle it?

Trump tells supporters they won’t have to vote in the future: ‘It’ll be fixed!’
Donald Trump has ignited alarm among his critics after telling a crowd of supporters that they won’t “have to vote again” if they return him to the presidency in November’s election.

“Christians, get out and vote! Just this time – you won’t have to do it any more,” the Republican former president said on Friday night at a rally hosted in West Palm Beach, Florida, by the far-right advocacy group Turning Point Action.
“You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote any more, my beautiful Christians,” he said with a slight shake of his head and his right hand pressed against the left side of his chest.

He added: “I love you. Get out – you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.”

EDIT: Oh OK. The press appears to be banging on it. Hopefully this isn't just a Saturday thing and then they're done.

Trump: What you get when you combine 'The Omen' with 'Reality Television'.

All that's missing is the Vatican's one hand trying to use him to scare up more followers... and their other hand trying to take him out.
