    What a cluster this all is. So many government officials are saying “we had nothing to do with this situation”, then little donny comes in and destroys that by proving he was responsible for it. Then Disney is like, “yeah we will put it back on.” but GOP owned Sinclair and Nexstar said “Screw Jimmy, we wont show him cause we need our merger to go through and we need to bribe the king.”

    All of this could be avoided if people voted for a real president, and not a grifting pedophile who only knows “win or lose” and has never made a compromise in his sheltered life.

      Let’s be real here, Sinclair and Nextstar’s merger was secondary to liberal tears. They’ve been turning local stations into MAGA propaganda machines at a breaknecl speeds.

      It’d be solved if they actually legislated corporate behavior to prevent monopolistic behavior and enforced those laws. We wouldn’t have to deal with these giants like Sinclair or Disney owning what we see and hear and fighting to consume everything for profit and control.

        It’d be solved if Congress was controlled by adults who fulfill their responsibility to reign in the executive branch instead of sycophants who gleefully hand over their authority to a demagogue.

        It’d be solved if the federal courts up to and especially SCOTUS actually ruled on law instead of partisan team sports mentality.

        It’d be solved if the US actual did a proper reconstruction after the Civil War.
