    Anybody question why his social media company has a revenue stream roughly equal to that of a single McDonald’s franchise, yet is valued at 9 billion dollars?

    one of trump’s primary strategies has always been to DDOS the bandwidth of the media and you, emotionally, with evil, to the point that entire segments get dropped.

    i am frustrated with it too. we had him shut up for like a week and half with the twitter ban but now media is back on the profit-off-the-orange-man train again and so the bulk of the most significant news is effectively swept under the rug.

      This guy is the physical embodiment of a firehose of propaganda. Like Dugin kidnapped and programmed Trump himself.

    Oh yes, don’t forget Jared Kushner’s ‘special relationship’ with the crown prince of saudia arabia that netted him a $2billion investment. Jared spent his time as an official making business deals around the globe while daddy-in-law was in office.

    Because the 24-hour news cycle doesn’t have the attention span for anything not immediately headline grabbing in the current moment.

    AKA it’s not making any immediate noise and there are more exciting things to constantly bombard us all with.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Republican-led House Oversight Committee has spent most of the past five months hard at work trying to link “the Biden family” (read: relatives of President Biden but not Biden himself) to millions of dollars proffered by foreign business interests before Biden became president.

    With the 2024 presidential campaign already at the top of the political conversation, the idea that some revelation might prove to be politically damaging to the incumbent is obviously a central motivation.

    Because Trump appointed Judge Cannon cancelled his May trial date over the classified documents case which implicates the Saudis in Trump’s criminal activities.

    We had a date set to talk about it and assign punishment, and a federal judge cancelled it.
