More violation of federal law to stoke the ego of dear leader.

GOP South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson drafted legislation for Trump to appear on a $250 bill in February 2025, which was referred to the House Financial Services Committee but has not received a hearing.

I hope that ends it this time.

But, I’m not sure about next time.

Don’t know anything about Joe Wilson except he appears to be a shameless Trump bootlicker.

Reading more about it, E. Jean Carroll lives in upstate NY, sued Trump in NYC. So the investigation is being done by Andrew Boutros, the US Attorney for Chicago who recently had a high profile political prosecution dismissed for grand jury shenanigans that the judge said were the worst she had ever seen in her career. So nothing possibly can go wrong here.

DOJ is no longer interested in prosecuting bribery.

I think it’s because the org that provided funding is in Chicago.

Don’t like the judge ruling against you? Recommend charges against the judge. (And the ruling is clear, the law explicitly says that the Kennedy Center cannot be renamed except by Congress).

We can look forward to a future where CBS and CNN produce only propaganda for Dear Leader.

I really don’t understand why this is happening. Is it simply that they have been bought by oligarchs?

Fixed, for accuracy.

Oligarchs whom are also fanatically pro-Israel and pro-Zionist.

Larry Ellison and his merry band of supporters.

So not only do they give Trump better press, but they also give Bibi & Co better coverage as well.

Ellison has also publcly stated he is in favour of mass surveillance in the US, so you can expect his media mouthpieces to keep pushing that narrative.

Yes, MAGA oligarch bought up media outlets to control them. In this case, he was bankrolled by Middle East countries that have a big stake (49% I think).

Not too different from Musk buying Twitter so he could control a misinformation megaphone.

Sure, but why are they so enthusiastic about his dick? What is their endgame?

He allows himself to be bribed to their benefit. That is the why.
