    Politics Media (Traditional and Social Media) News

    It's nice to know that "freedom of the press" has basically narrowed down to the POTUS and his administration getting friendly, favorable corporations to buy every news and social media outlet they can get their hands on and forcibly turn them into propaganda mouthpieces for their...

    Politics MAGA/MAHA/TPUSA/Far Right coalition starting to splinter?

    Welcome to the "new", Skydance and Trump-approved CBS News. And if they buy CNN as Dear Leader wants then CNN will very quickly go down this same route as well. The number of non-Trumper, non-MAGA news outlets is getting smaller by the day, it seems.

    Yep. He's always been a hero to many American conservatives - especially White Nationalists and the Religious Right - and much of what is happening in American politics, media, and government today is based on Orban's blueprint for taking over Hungary. Even if he loses the election I doubt he'll...

    Politics Shit Trump Says

    Don't worry Donnie, once your buddies at Paramount Skydance buy CNN you can turn it into another Trump-loving Fox-style network just like they're doing to CBS!

    Politics Approval/Disapproval Polls

    I don't believe that his polling is trending upwards at all, and as the economy continues to struggle he's likely going to remain near his absolute possible low in the polls - that is, his MAGA base and nothing else.

    With his parents and half-siblings it was probably inevitable.

    Politics MAGA/MAHA/TPUSA/Far Right coalition starting to splinter?

    Yeah, there are no real heroes anywhere in this spat, and I include Erika Kirk. They're all either batshit crazy, shameless grifters, or both.

    She's thinking about running for the GOP nomination in 2028? LOL. She has virtually no chance at the nomination, and it would be a waste of her time and money. And given all of the skeletons in her closet, like her boy toy Corey, her chances are reduced to zero. I know that male GOP candidates...

    Off-Topic Rest In Peace D.G. Martin

    I still remember when he ran for the US House as the Democratic candidate in a Charlotte-based district that in those days was mostly Republican. It was 1984 and Reagan was running for reelection and carried NC with 63% of the vote, but D.G. ran a very strong race and lost by a heartbreakingly...

    Politics Stabbing at Winston Salem High School

    The "State" (GOP state legislature dominated by people like Phil Berger) have figured it out - they hate public ed and want to do as much as possible to destroy it and privatize it. This is all a part of their plan - keep cutting resources, keep diverting public school funds to vouchers and...

    Politics Economic News

    It has long since been shown that Republicans only care about the budget deficit when we have a Democrat as POTUS. When one of their own is POTUS and spending like a drunken sailor and the deficit explodes they don't give a shit. If we ever do elect a Democrat as POTUS again I'm sure our brave...

    Politics Shit Trump Says

    Starting with the success of the civil rights movement in the 60s the GOP very successfully drove out and utterly destroyed its moderate wing - first the Eastern Establishment Rockefeller Republicans were driven out of the party, then right-of-center types like the Bob Doles and Howard Bakers...

    Politics —> ICE / Immigration Catch-All

    I have a hunch that MAGAs and Trump 2.0 don't see this as a disaster at all, because I don't think their goal was ever to create a truly professional law enforcement group limited by the law. Their goal was to create a group of thugs in masks who could be given carte blanche by the government to...

    Politics 2025 & 2026 Elections | Blue Wave 2025 results

    There's a big difference between electing a woman as POTUS and electing one as governor or senator. The fact that Republicans are willing to elect a woman as governor or senator doesn't seem to apply when they run for president. I have serious doubts that the MAGA base would be willing to vote...

    So because Europe is diversifying racially and letting in all of these darker-skinned Muslims or Hindus or whatever Trump 2.0 thinks they're getting weaker and will just fall apart. The USA has been admitting immigrants for hundreds of years and it's actually been one of our greatest sources of...
