New in PN: CBS cancels Colbert as media continues to turn Trumpward "For billionaires, palliating Trump is really just palliating themselves, since Trump stands for the axiom that rich white guys can do whatever they want without any accountability." publicnotice.co/p/cobert-cance…
An honest observer would have numerous descriptors for this president, but "high-functioning" and "sophisticated" would definitely not be on that list.
Bessent: "Newspapers like the Wall Street Journal are not used to a high-functioning executive president. They are used to perhaps President Obama, who was not as economically sophisticated as President Trump."
"Colbert does not believe in that inalienable truth, which is why Trump hates him and wants him gone. We can’t know for sure if Colbert’s bosses want him gone for the same reason. But it’s easy to connect the dots." 1/

"Execs at CBS's parent company Paramount may have dumped Colbert not to appease Trump, but to join him. There’s ample evidence that billionaires genuinely like Trump’s vision of authoritarian rule by billionaire, & want to do their part to crush dissent." publicnotice.co/p/cobert-cance…
lololol

CNBC: Do you think the deadline for tariffs could be extended past August 1? BESSENT: We'll see what the president wants to do

Malliotakis on Mamdani: "When you say 'taking over supermarkets' -- that's another term for rationing rice and beans."
Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart: "It looks like this goes all the way to the top, potentially from President Obama himself. I'm grateful that this is finally coming out because this was actually a coup attempt." "You could look at things like treason," Fox host Cheryl Casone replies.
It's always projection.
I hope everyone notices that Trump is trying to normalize the idea of arresting political opponents for no reason (Trump attempted a coup in 2021 so miss me with the false equivalences)
Free speech for me, but not for thee.
Trump says he may block the deal to move the Commanders back to DC unless they re-adopt a racist team name
"Unlike January 2021 — when the Big Lie scheme failed — by 2029 Trump and his cohorts will have new tools to carry out a coup, including a massive federal police force with a proven willingness to engage in systemic illegality at Trump's behest." publicnotice.co/p/trump-coup-a…
Fox Host: Most importantly Biden appointed Ketanji Brown Jackson… Are you looking into Biden's judicial appointments as well? Comer: Absolutely… … I think all of these are in jeopardy of being declared null and void in a court of law and that's a biggie for The Trump…
I remember when Republicans would have opposed a president attempting to interfere in the dealings of a private company.

Remember when it was a free speech scandal for years on the right when the Biden admin asked Twitter to take down some tweets (and Twitter said no multiple times)? Anyway, the President is threatening to personally block a stadium deal unless an NFL team changes its name.

Ignore. Stay on Epstein.
