who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

1. The story should be:

A political party so craven and power hungry that they are willing to let a vengeful, senile old man threaten the security of the world order to hold on.

[malaise]

2. Not just a political party but the RW media, digital media moguls,

more than a few billionaires, white supremacist church leaders and their goons.

9. Republicans do not want to govern, they want to rule..

and they're more than happy to shred the Constitution, sacrifice the lives of our sons and daughters, kill protestors, kidnap/beat/deport American citizens, starve families, deny healthcare, rip the safety net out from the most vulnerable, pander to a sadistic hate-fueled psychopath, and swim in Trump's fetid sewer of corruption, deviancy, greed, and bribery to hold on that power....

10. Well said!

13. It explains his Executive Orders

He wants to rule by decree (whim) and thinks his EO's are law. Mob boss mentality. It's why his underlings have many different acting assignments.
Sean Duffy was head of NASA for 6 months!
Marco Rubio is Secretary of State, head of USAID, and National Archivist, must be why he can't be a lead negotiator overseas as the SoS would usually be. Gotta send a couple of real estate developers, and at least one whose a family member.

15. Exactly the case. And the legacy media is too cowardly/corrupted to say a word.

The fact that Trump continues to he a raging lunatic is not news anywhere.

[OLDMDDEM]

3. Congress could get rid of him but will not do it.

[FarPoint]

4. Yes, he has an advaced dementia issue...

he has cardiac issues and has fallen several times which has been all covered up.

5. "media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is"

Because they are owned by the billionaires and they control the narrative. Joe Biden is a current case in point.

The billionaires who owned the media made President Biden to always look disoriented, confused 24/7 they chose this narrative for Americans to believe and to influence the Nov election to tilt to the republicans.

Apparently it worked so well they drove Biden to reconsider his reelection bid. And some of that came from within his own party. Very unfortunate series of events.

And fast forward to today, the current president is showing all kinds of a demented mind and NO ONE in the billionaire owned media dares to provide the exact same narrative they used on Joe. Jake Tapper is an excellent case in point. He loves him some demented trump, I can already envision his next presidential book on trump.

I wonder how many billionaire media moguls are in the Epstein files?

The problem in the new media is management, now owners.
The multi-billionaires, in general, own relatively tiny percentages of outstanding shares.
In fact, the parent companies of NBC, ABC, & CNN have more shares held in middle class 401k accounts than any 2, 3, or 5 billionaires combined.
The management is dominated by people who don't want to rock the boat to protect their inflated compensation and the RW noise machine is louder than the noise from us on the other side.
The noise represents a lower % of people, but those who scream the most get their way when management is always playing defense.
The notorious billionaires don't own enough of the media to have said influence.
Cowardice of upper management is independent of ideology.

12. Your words are true. Excellent post!

[MagickMuffin]

17. And then there is CBS that is run by billionaires, father and son

Got their number one Late Night Show with Stephen Colbert taken off the air because Stephen Colbert exposed them and the game they were playing.

They didn’t likeeee, so they canceled the show.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. They Replaced Management

Management didn't have the spine to say no.
The dad & son still only own around 6%, but cowardly management kowtowed and made a bad business decision.
Even with a bad minority owner, courageous management could have said no.

7. And...

Our lawmakers are on another vacation!

This no time in the history of the USA to be on vacation.

8. Someone remind me again of why Iran must never, never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon?

Wasn't it because their unstable leadership couldn't be trusted not to use it?

11. Touche'

16. The actual biggest story

will unfold when the leader of Saudi Arabia takes his revenge on Trumpy for publicly calling him an ass-kisser. This guy’s employee of the month was “Mr. Bonesaws”. In their world you just can’t do such a thing. Money is nothing in this one.
