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!

Broadcast management needs to be ignored by the current administration more than they need someone who will speak truth to power.

With the footholds the GOP have right now, Trump is basically America's first king. Things need to change pretty drastically to fix this.

I disagree with the first part, but agree with the second part.

Just one of them saying "no" would completely upend the whole thing. But none of them will.

Instead he will keep demanding more and more while people tune out, their ratings tank and they start to lose money.

Then oopsie, looks like some media houses need a bailout in the form of a controlling 51% stake by a government buyer, the framework of which have already been set by the Intel share buyout.

Why would they? They were already in-the-tank republiQans. Printing money on the backs of incredibly gullible people.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 15 points 9 months ago

Trump is definitely a tool.

The Gleichschaltung has started.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago

The Nazi term Gleichschaltung, meaning "synchronization" or "coordination", was the process of Nazification by which Adolf Hitler established a system of totalitarian control and coordination over all aspects of German society "from the economy and trade associations to the media, culture and education".
