ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting.

This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.

Am I missing something? They are giving that walking dingleberry $15M because Stephanopolous used the word rape instead of sexual assault? That’s fucking stupid!

Trump's team reportedly wants to abolish the FDIC, a key bank regulator that was established after the Great Depression to protect the public.

Make no mistake: The goal of Trump's second term is to enrich Wall Street.

Everyone else will be left behind.

"Here's what a functional democracy does after its president abuses his power and declares martial law: remove him from office."

--Steven Beschloss

Some members of President Yoon Suk Yeol’s own party helped remove him from office. But the political uncertainty is far from over.

"Protesters reacting as the vote to impeach the president was announced on Saturday."

Opposition lawmakers needed eight supporting votes from Mr. Yoon’s party to impeach him. When they called an impeachment vote last weekend, Mr. Yoon’s People Power Party boycotted it, saying that he should be given a chance to resign rather than be impeached. Only three of its 108 lawmakers participated. On Saturday, the party said that it officially opposed impeachment, but its lawmakers were allowed to cast their secret ballots. The result indicated that 12 lawmakers from Mr. Yoon’s party had joined the opposition to impeach him and another 11 abstained or cast invalid votes, sealing his fate. [emphasis added]

Why couldn't the Republicans in the U.S. Senate have voted to convict Trump in 2021 after he incited an insurrection and attempted to interrupt the peaceful transfer of power?

Once again, Republicans make America look bad in the eyes of the world.
