Summary

60 Minutes plans to enrage Donald Trump Sunday with an episode bashing his intimidation efforts—despite being in a legal battle with the president themselves.

“Now in the White House, Trump is using executive orders to target some of the biggest law firms in the country that he accuses of ‘weaponizing’ the justice system against him.”

The drama between Donald Trump and CBS has heated up in recent weeks after the show’s executive producer, Bill Owens, abruptly quit after 37 years, accusing CBS executives of interfering with the program and pandering to Trump amid his $20 billion lawsuit.

CBS and Trump’s settlement discussions have taken place as Paramount Global seeks the president’s approval of its merger with Skydance, an American media production company.

Just about nothing would make me happier than to have him not wake up ever again. A complete disgrace to America and the world. May he die painfully and soon.

I guess that’s one thing we have going for us. Unlike Hitler, this fascist fuck is old.

Hitler has at least one good thing going for him: he killed Hitler.

Today was the first time that it ever occurred to me that the US propaganda of “Hitler was the worst person who ever lived” might have been in part to cover up the US’s own history of genocide.

My sister-in-law, the chillest and least likely person I know to ever say this, actually wished death on Trump the other day. He’s done so much global damage, and it hasn’t even been a year.

He’s an actual scourge.

Yep. Fuck every single person who ever told us that Trump wasn’t as bad as others. Even if technically hasn’t done as wrong as others, the trend he’s setting in motion is by far the worst thing to have happened in world history if it continues

In terms of total global damage, I’m not sure if Trump can hold a candle to Putin.

Though the two are cut from the same cloth.

Russia doesn’t have nearly as much influence over global markets as the US.

Edit: But Putin has had a much longer political career and has probably set things into motion that we won’t ever be able to confirm his involvement in. So you might be right.

Every time I see him making a public speech, I keep my fingers crossed, and wish for his head to explode from a high caliber bullet.

Same with all of his henchmen.

It should become a national holiday like 4/20. Or we can all choose never to speak his name again. “He who shall not be named”

Why? Make his name well known for the shit stain in human history that it is. The mystique would only make him more appealing for future generations.

He’s got the dementia going pretty hard now, with the MS13 tattoo and the Harvard / Harlem confusion thing within just a few days.

I wouldn’t be sad if someone created a large campfire where he, Elon, McConnell, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Green, etc. are the logs.

So now we are reporting about how Donald Trump is going to feel about an upcoming report?

Fuck’s sake…

It also doesn’t make sense. To make Trump angry all you need to do is tell the truth. Just state facts and he’ll be tweeting up shitstorm at 3am.

nah, Trump is a rage-powered sack of IOUs badly arranged to resemble a real human being. If you want to get rid of Trump, you have to try to delight him and remove his power source. All of his cabinet and several world leaders are trying more an more openly to kill him this way. The true unsung heroes of our time!

The fact that even publications like this are saying things like “the president’s approval” now is part of the problem. The president is supposed to have no part in that decision making process. It’s the FCC and the FTC that have a say and they are supposed to be politically insulated.

This entire story is another stupid distraction designed to hook the emotions of both sides of the political spectrum for views. Anyone who gets engaged with these kinds of stories, no matter what side you’re on, are being victimized by manipulative media trying to drive up views for advertiser revenue.

We need to burn our entire capitalistic, profit-driven media hellscape to the ground and make something new that has actual oversight and regulation.
