I've not been impressed at all by what I've seen so far of this company, and I do worry for the future of franchises like Star Trek under Skydance control. Hopefully they won't mess with or cut it too much. I've read that the reason Strange New Worlds (a great series, btw) was cancelled after season five was because of the "uncertainty" over this merger and Paramount's financial issues.

Yeah I am worried that the company will become a WH propaganda machine. Bracing for the day when I read a script and say I can't ethically work on this.

The long term costs of Trump Admin policies could be extraordinary… they are gifting advantages to our adversaries while degrading our trust and cooperation with long-time allies. He seems intent on reducing America to a regional also-ran as soon as possible this century.

Indeed

I was an investor in a Chinese real estate company 7 years ago and followed China's transition to its clean energy policy which put restrictions on new real estate developments. My thought at the time was that China was way ahead of us in coming to terms with and adapting to the climate change reality.

I jokingly thought China had adopted the George Costanza philosophy for success and the strategy was look at what the USA is doing, then do the opposite. It seems like a sound strategy, not only when it comes to the environment, but geopolitics, as well.

Ummm, even if this is just one of Trump's out of left field insane daily rambles.... it's really not a good look to ask if she is related to a white man from the 1780s - 1830s. Especially since it's an ongoing feud between them and she's called him out on his racist dog whistles before.

So what's the consensus here: Innocent or not so innocent? I think he at least had an idea what he was doing. So put me down for a not so innocent.

Edited to add that Davy Crockett reportedly owned at least two slaves.

Trump rips ‘lost’ Democrats and calls foe Jasmine Crockett ‘low IQ’

The president blasted his near-constant sparring partner in a wide-ranging and often rambling interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box Tuesday morning

President Donald Trump tore down the Democratic Party during an interview with CNBC on Tuesday morning and targeted his frequent political foe, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, deriding her as an example of one of their “low IQ” members.

In a long-winded, and occasionally rambling, interview with Squawk Box, the president lashed out at the opposing political party for being “lost” and “self-destructing.” In between speaking about his economic policy record and plans for tariffs, the president took some time to insult prominent members of the party with whom he often quarrels.


Using one of his commonly used phrases, Trump said members of the Democratic Party are “low IQ people” and cited the Texas congresswoman as an example.

“I mean, when you have low-IQ people, like Crockett,” Trump began before suddenly going on a tangent.

“I wonder if she’s any relationship to the late, great Davy Crockett, who was a great, great gentleman,” he said, falling back on the “late, great” appellation he generally reserves for the fictional Silence of the Lambs serial killer Hannibal Lecter to oddly decry illegal immigration at campaign rallies.

“I wonder if she’s got any relationship to Davy Crockett. The great old Davy Crockett,” Trump pondered.
