GoLocalProv | BREAKING: Trump Announces Closure of Kennedy Center for Two Years
translation: every major act hates trump and what he's done to the place and the only people who would play the kennedy center are so beneath the standards of the kennedy center that if the standards were at the earth's core these acts are looking up at it.

Judge fines Trump more than $300 million, bars from running businesses in New York for three years
so that's nearly a HALF BILLION DOLLARS in fines owed to multiple entities by the (alleged) billionaire who is also the leading candidate to one political party.
now would be a real good time for that party to remove themselves from trump. because if they stay hitched to that wagon, they ain't winning shit. but the hilarious thing is that if they get behind haley right now they'll have an even shot at winning but she's so unappealing to the base they'll never do it.
it's great. 🤣😆🤣😆

Donald Trump To Be Put on Mount Rushmore Under Republican Bill
Reply in thread
honest answer: a 45 year project to delegitimize the media by routinely calling them "liberal", so much so that the major media reflexively frames every issue with a pro republican bias, goes soft on republicans in interviews, harder on democrats that was sped up with the introduction of fox news in 1998 and their "fair and balanced" tagline even though they were blatantly pro republican.
now you throw in all of these conservative propaganda online media distribution networks and actual true believers who bought into the "democrats are traitors and the enemy who deserve to be shot" rhetoric started by newton leroy gingrich and sprayed across the country by rush limbaugh having prominent positions in elected office and this is how you devolve into a despotic idiocracy run by a weak autocrat calling himself strong and protected by the truly evil people who are actually running things.
tldr the conservatives scared the media into being pro gop just so they wouldn't be labeled as liberal even though conservatives call them liberal anyway.

Jim Jordan Demands Major Ad Companies Explain Why They Won’t Advertise On Truth Social
free speech gym.
companies have the right to advertise wherever they choose to advertise. platforms for advertising are not guaranteed advertisers.
not unless you want to force them to advertise on platforms they don't want to be on. but that would no longer be capitalism, what would that be? I can't think of it it's right at the tip of my tongue...

Conservative group tells judge it has no evidence to back its claims of Georgia ballot stuffing
so what's going to be their punishment? this is the only question that matters. because if the sanction isn't significant, there's nothing stopping this group or similar groups from doing the same thing.

Kennedy Jr backtracks and says US measles outbreak is now a ‘top priority’ for health department
and the cultists will say "SEE HE'S DOING SOMETHING HE SUPPORTS VACCINES!!!!!eleven!!!!", the media will praise the administration for this action, and the smart ones will point out that 2000 vaccine doses for a measles outbreak is a pathetically small number that might stem the tide a bit at best. this entire response has been an absolute clusterfuck and our spineless media won't call it out for fear of retaliation.

Conservative group launches a quiet effort to drive Black voters away from Biden

say nothing about improving education, making going to the doctor more affordable, and the overwhelming targeting by police in black areas.
cigarettes.
are they going to do something about making malt liquor more available?
tell me you don't have a clue about black america issues without telling me you don't have a clue about black america issues.

Twitter’s Clumsy Pivot to X.com Is a Gift to Phishers
who else but a genius would buy a social media company, remove the things that made it functional and useful, reintegrate and allow to overpopulate elements that made it worse, and destroy a multi-billion dollar icon and name render useless a word that the thing you bought created and is universally understood because he thinks calling stuff X is cool?
not only a genius but ta soooper genius.

Republicans fear 'death threats and Gestapo-like stuff' from Trump fans
oh look, the inevitable conclusion of what happens when you crave power for power's sake so much that you sell your soul to appeal only to the true believers that your entire political career is 100% dependent on their votes even though you know they're fucking insane and get ultraviolent at the barest perception of being slighted or inconvenienced.

We now live in a world in which the right-wing media sets the national agenda. The mainstream media follows.
where has this guy been?
it's been that way since fox news went on air. every media outlet was terrified that the fear of missing out on a story because if one major outlet is reporting a story the others aren't and it blows up, those other places lose credibility.
right wing media thrives on OUTRAGE and that outrage brings the revenue. the only reason why other media doesn't do it is that either the market won't tolerate that kind of thing and would turn it off or there are still a few (a very few) people still in the works who have the journalistic ethics to not cover news in that fashion.
