Here’s a theory re: the meme here: the media knows that it profits tremendously from extending the life of the idea that Trump actually could be our 47th president, and it finds that lucre to be irresistible.
This an event which, if it comes to fruition, would almost certainly end American democracy, and that notion is so terrifying to most of us that we’re drawn to explore it whether we want to be or not.
The media understands this with crystal clarity.
What we’re looking at here is just an extrapolation of 2015/16, where the CEO of one of our television giants admitted, “Trump is absolutely terrible America, but he’s fantastic for us.”
Eventually, it will become obvious that, through some blend of forces, including Trump’s criminal trials, that he is far more likely to be struck lightening than he is win the 2024 election. At that point, look for the media to move along to some new catastrophe in the making.
With each passing year, it becomes more about money and less about truth.
I have such respect for Pascal that I considered naming our son after him. (My wife wasn’t having it. Maybe if we lived in France?)
Pascal made important contributions to both math and physics but he’s perhaps best known for his philosophic “wager,” that it makes sense to believe in God, since if He exists, you’ll be very glad you did, and if He doesn’t, you haven’t lost anything. I counter that this is not how we accept or reject religious tenets.
“Republican Patriots” writes: Howard Stern once again reveals the contempt so many in the entertainment elite hold for everyday Americans. He claims not to hate President Trump himself, but openly declares his hatred for those who support him, calling them stupid and saying he has no respect for them. This kind of arrogant dismissal shows how out of touch these Hollywood types have become with the hardworking people who built this country.
I’ve got news: contempt for Trump supporters is hardly limited to “these Hollywood types.” The vast majority of Americans–especially at this point–are neither greedy pigs nor hateful morons. We respect human rights and rule of law.
Can’t something be done to stop this lunatic?
