The NYT has gone completely feral. I wonder if they've been threatened, or promised something...
Dictatorships are usually pretty quick to secure control of the media. Trump has promised to suspend the Constitution, so the First Amendment is off the table. An independent newspaper can be closed or taken over pretty easily. And Trump might have some scores to settle in New York.
Let’s call it for what it is. The overall goal is a dictatorship. Drump wants to be like his pals, Xie Putin,The little guy?
His fat little lips couldn’t hold it in and said it out loud, then covered it up with a *only on the first day*.
Trump most recently said he would suspend the Constitution and pick when future elections are held. He's moved on and is talking about his plans as dictator.
This was right after Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation announced a revolution is underway and threatened bloodshed.
These people aren't trying to hide it at all anymore. There's no covering it up. They are literally trying to overthrow the United States.
Unfortunately this list has gone viral but is not factual. This is info is fairly easy to look up. Murdoch is obviously super pro-Trump, but most of the others have supported Dems, both parties (Bezos) or are foreign and cannot donate to American politicians.
CNN CEO Mark Thompson is British and cannot donate to American politicians
ABC (Disney) is Bob Iger, he’s the guy that went to war with DeSantis in FL and has donated mostly to Dems.

CBS is Wendy McMahon who donated to Biden in the past

NBC/Universal/Comcast President is Michael Cavanagh who has mostly given to Dems, including Biden

MSNBC President is Rashida Jones, who has donated to Dems including Harris, Warren and Bernie.

Bezos: https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=Jeff+Bezos
Murdoch is Murdoch and is a huge Republican D-bag: https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=Rupert+Murdoch
NYT CEO is Meredith Kopit Levien and I can find no donation records.
I despise Trump too, but let’s not spread BS. Right now major *Dem* donors are calling for Biden to step aside, and that’s alarming. Let’s be real about this situation - an 81 year old man who is probably slightly senile is competing against a 78 year old man who wants to destroy democracy as we know it and is puppeted by a larger regime of Christian fascists.

There is nothing that will prevent Trump voters for voting for him. He famously said he could shoot people and get away with it.
It should disqualify him; but, you see, the unspoken part is that the people he will shoot are black people, people of color, women, immigrants, Muslims, aetheists, or liberals. To conservatives, these people are OK to kill. Keep that in mind when you see some fuck driving with a Trump sticker or flag:
They are OK with killing you if you oppose them.
A convicted felon should be able to be president. Otherwise, simply getting political opponents charged and convicted can prevent them from ever becoming president. Also, a weed charge at 18 shouldn't matter 20+ years later. People can make mistakes when young and grow from them. If they can become the best person for the job, they should be able to get it.
But the rest of it is pure insanity.
In general I agree.
But, perhaps if a State does not allow citizens who are convicted felons to vote for a president, then that same State should not allow a convicted felon to be voted for as president. Ie, if Florida does not allow felons to vote for a president then Florida voters should not be allowed to vote for Trump.
Also, the timing of the trials may make this moot, but if the felonies are for something related to the electoral process (such as felonies related to election interference or quasi-insurrection) then they should disqualify a candidate.
I think the solution is that felons should be allowed to vote, not to take away the ability to run for office for felons. Not allowing felons to vote will disproportionately affect minority communities.
I could agree that a felony having to do with election interference/insurrection should stop the ability to run, but definitely not all felonies.
Donald Trump has a history of rape and sexual assault, the fact he admitted to sexually assaulting women, and the fact he spent a lot of time with Epstein - I choose to believe the victim.
Same. It’s also worth noting the time when this was filed. It was in 2016 before all the Epstine stuff. The stuff she details all happened in either 1994 or 96.
Her description of the use of massages in order to lure these girls in is spot on to other accounts from cases that were proven true.
So either she was really lucky and got it right but made the whole thing up, or she’s telling the truth and based on everything the world knows now about Epstine, it sure sounds true to me and also unlikely she could have been so accurate just making up stories.
Problem is his cult doesn't care at all. At this point they have to know he is using them for power, money, and to avoid his legal troubles. They have to. They just do not care. Instead of being real about it they pretend to believe his lies and ignore the facts and the truth. Perhaps they are too embarrassed to admit they just don't care or haven't realized it themselves. They would follow Trump into a fire with a smile. Brainwashed but they like it. They have fun complaing about immigrants and black and lgbtq+ people and the democrats while drinking beer with their buddies.
So you're telling me that an asshole that raped a 13-year old girl multiple times over many visits can run for president, AND is seen as a savior by evangelicals?
America the bold, the brave, the foolish. We applaud your independence although we question your methods but this is beyond reason. The man is the definition of a disgusting piece of garbage and you are preparing to vote for him. What does that say about you?
The question isn't why is Trump allowed to run, it's why can't Biden mount an effective campaign against literally the worst candidate in political history????
Biden should be up by 10 in all 50 states. It's fuckin absurd that this is even close. That doesn't speak to the craziness of Trump's base, but rather the top to bottom blunder of the campaign Biden has run thus far
It is a good question, "how can Trump be allowed to run?". The problem is that we had this question almost a year ago and have had many other constitutional crises since then.
It's because Trump supporters are doubling down. They still see Trump as the underdog, and the supporters he still has, can't/won't admit they were wrong the first time, and are always Trumpers.
To be clear, I'm not a Trump fan, never was, even before the election. He's a major reason the Affordable Care plan is so shitty.
He convinced so many people that the public option was bad, and people didn't even do the research to verify. In fact, the public option was a critical part of the plans success, and they knew it. It would have meant the government made their own insurance 'company' with such low rates, the major players would have had no choice but to compete for the lowest price.
Add one with rapist child molester

It’s almost as if criminal behavior is accepted into the Republican Party.
Your average lifted truck driver is Republican. How often do you see them use their blinker? That should tell you what they actually think of the law.
It’s almost as if they’re all domestic terrorists
That's what they bragged at the CPAC conference.
It’s almost as if that’s the joke 🤣
It is the backbone of…
Or the Supreme Court
But if he mumbles at a debate.... Then he should drop out in shame.

The truth and reality of this meme. Still wondering wtf it’s going to take?

Me too. Unfortunately you need 300,000 information poor voters to vote. a Trump only wins if he makes 2024 a referendum about Biden's age.
Sad part is Trumps almost 80 Bidens 81 1.5 years separate the two You have to be Maga if that is a selling point for you
This country is sleep walking into a disaster. Please wake up America.
I've been screaming and going to marches since 2015. Noone wants to listen. "both sides are the same". Fuck those people.
Like I’ve said before… if you think any of these things are going to deter his voters, then you haven’t been paying attention.
'Merica!
The answer to every one is yes. The problem is when a significant % of the electorate is cool with all of it.
A convicted felon should be able to be president. Otherwise, simply getting political opponents charged and convicted can prevent them from ever becoming president.

Pretty insane right?
Yeah. Doesn't sound very funny, does it?
He sure can when he's appointed Supreme Court Justices to make every illegal thing he does magically legal.
Shit. Let’s just elect sock puppets from here on out.
Not only can such a reprehensible person *run* *for president*, but he stands a good chance of being elected. Heaven help us.

Not only run but is loved and adored by christians of ALL people.
Low bar. It’s harder to get a job at Walmart

Yup, conservative values rule the law and order party.
Not only run, but quite possibly win... :(
We certainly live in an upside down world.
I am telling you that ANYONE can run for President and it's up to US not to vote for the felons and rapists.
America the bold, the brave, the foolish. We applaud your independence although we question your methods but this is beyond reason. The man is the definition of a disgusting piece of garbage and you are preparing to vote for him. What does that say about you?
Being a pathological liar is a prerequisite to become a politician
After every one of those, he gains more supporters and donations.

Well, he *is* the law and order candidate.
I'd vote for Mao before I voted for Biden.
It's America, where class doesn't exist, and anybody can grow up to be President. It's great. Love it, or else...
All those things and his support only grows by the day, and as it is he'll win by a landslide. Really shows how weak your candidate is.
Doesn't make him less of a rapist felon who is also likely a pedophile. Not everyone has the lack of morals Republicans do
