“ Donald Trump lashed out Tuesday at a pair of cable networks not named Fox News for their decision not to air all of his Iowa caucuses victory speech as it happened, suggesting that what they did was so heinous that they should “have their licenses, or whatever they have, taken away.”

Dictators gonna dictate.

I could be wrong, but I believe it was a CBS executive who once said that covering Trump the way they do was absolutely terrible for democracy in this country and that he is a real danger to our way of life – but they were still going to keep covering him anyway because covering him is absolutely great for their bottom line.

If that shitshow of US wouldn’t be a super important part of NATO and thus a big part why Putin hasn’t yet entered EU, I could care much less about the America.

Although I don’t wish anyone to live under dictator. And there is a non-zero chance of Trump election starting a civil war, which would be just terrible for everyone

The best way to ensure he doesn’t get elected is for him to piss off the corporations and I would say 2 big ones like this could do some damage to him. Keep running your mouth about stuff like that and see. Better yet demand fox news be taken off air, they might actually turn people against him.

Huh. I thought these types were bitching about “cancel culture” all the time, and donnie wants entire networks off the air because of his feelz.

Always projection. When the cons talk about snowflakes, they are some of the biggest snowflakes on the planet, all enthusiastic to vote for one of the biggest snowflakes in history.

For anyone wondering, yes he really said that. Rare moment of honesty, like “I don’t stand for anything.”

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
