Rick, OMG Lawrence O'Donnell was _on fire_ last night. The way he threw down his papers with an angry thunk. I've never seen a more righteous rant at the media this side of Keith Olbermann. And while Olbermann has some personal issues with O'Donnell (Keith has personal issues with a lot of people), I don't know if he could have done a better or more perspicuous job.
You're seeing that bleed off in Nicolle's coverage this afternoon. Go Lawrence!
Rick, the danger of a media that is in cahoots with MAGA America, cannot be overstated! But almost all of the media conglomerates, the farthest reaching ones, are owned by trumplicans. And I would not be surprised to find out that foreign entities are funding so many of them. The “free” press is a CORE principle of democracy in the US. We don’t have that at this time. This was set up by the founders to ensure accountability of the government to the people. BUT we don’t have to be high level thinkers to listen to one violent, whiney rant from trump to understand what he is. He never offers solutions to issues. He whines, rants and blames Democrats, people of color, women & LGBTQIA-community members who mind their own business. If a Democratic candidate at ANY level, spoke the way trump does, I would leave the party in the dust and so would most everyone else. This is intentional support of racism, blame gaming and hatred. These are thugs, traitors, ignoramus’ losers. Literally losers because trump has NEVER won the vote of the people…the popular vote. It is clear, that we have put up a brick wall. We are done with right wing traitors/seditionists. They want to threaten us if they can’t cheat to win. Well guess what!? We’re up to the challenge. They have not seen the face of our collective anger and resistance yet. We will push for appropriate punishments as our reward for saving this democracy. Without consequences we will indicate we give permission…and we’re DONE with that. Rant over!
