    “Don’t start a fight with those who buy ink by the barrel.”

    If FOX “News” turns on him, it might get interesting again.

      I dunno, these fuckers turn on each other all the time. Where are Mike Pence and Rudy Guliani now?

      I don’t think they’re smart enough to play 4D chess with PR.

      They don’t have anyone describable as “friends” because they’re inherently unlikeable.

    Wait… Fox is still on the air? I thought they just transitioned to cabinet positions and closed the doors before the voting machine lawsuits paid out.

    On the border:

    NOBODY WAS ABLE TO COME IN LAST MONTH.

    Cool. Not a single person crossed a distance of nearly 2000 miles. He knows this for a fact. He’s not sundowning, folks. He’s aging backward, Like Benjamin Button. He’s in his prime, or will be when he gets a little younger. What a great man!

    Anyway, it’s fun to see him lash out at the people who support him. What a lunatic.

      Same thing that’s been happening with the Republican party since Nixon. They create a monster, set it loose, the monster eats the faces of those who created it, and then the monster goes on to create an even worse monster. Repeat cycle endlessly.

      Took Fox a while to be consumed by its offspring, but here we are I guess. Someday it’ll be Truth Social’s turn.

    How the fuck can they keep destroying relationships with their friends and still keep on going? Shouldn’t they have enough opposition by now to end this?

        Agreed. Whenever I hear of the latest internal MAGA feud (fElon, now Faux) it always brings to mind the old-school “professional” wrestling world. 100% scripted and acted-out. It gives the deplorables a “team” to identify with and emotionally bind to (pick a side, doesn’t really matter which) so they can stomp and fume and indulge in fantasy violence while society and life continue to grind them down into dirt, pockets picked.

      Because its a cult that even trump doesn’t control.

      It comes up rarely for obvious reasons, but back during his first (ugh) term, he said something like “I like vaccines” and got straight up booed by the crowd. And that wasn’t the only case where he had to rapidly backpedal to what the magats want to hear. trump is a symptom of a much greater evil.

      So when fox news goes against trump? They are now the enemy and we were always at war with both Eastasia and fox news. And when they play the shows he likes? Now they are the best network in the world again. But there is no world where they actually sway the magats.

      So that is why basically everyone bends over backwards to appease him and, by association, the magats. Because they have no other choice than… actually trying to fight the power.

      Exactly. The magamorons all feel that donvict “says what I think”. There is a reason for that - donvict just ate up Faux “News” and parroted all that bilge right back at them, so he’s basically a walking, talking Faux “News” show in politician format.

      But I’m sure just like other things that donvict didn’t actually build, he’ll slap his name on it and think that he built it…

    And Fox will still bend the knee. Republicans just can’t help themselves. They follow the loudest bully and revel in his abuse.
