Again this is the fault of the media.

As I have stated many times, Trump is like a broken clock.

When he said the media is the enemy of the people he was correct, because it is the media that made him 45 and the media that will make him 47, The media is normalizing Trump, they are actually making more out of Biden's age and insinuating that he has dementia, instead of ripping Trump to the ground.

The Republicans and Trump are, apparently, employing reverse psychology, best epitomized by Lenin when he said: "Oppose what you propose, propose what you oppose, and your opponent will hand you the keys to the kingdom on a silver platter".

The natural response is to defend what Trump and the Republicans attack, And that is how they use their opponent to achieve their ends.

The only reason Democracy is on the chopping block, is because of the media. They made Trump and are making him President again.

This is ominous. Wall Street is caving to Trump (again) https://plus.thebulwark.com/p/why-wall-street-is-surrendering-to

As Jamie Dimon said, they can work with and profit with whoever wins.

I am noticing a trend, even among "liberal" comedians like the Jimmy's Fallon and Kimmel, they use Biden as a punching bag, because of his age, but are actually normalizing Trump and his "gafs" (that's what the media is calling his signs of dementia).

If Biden had said any of the things that Trump has said, or done even one of the things that Trump has done, he would have been long gone.

That Trump is still the number 1 topic and if he becomes #47, which appears likely gratis the media and Wall Street., Trump will owe big thanks to the media and comedians.

Personally I sniff cowardice as critics are hedging their bets, even hosts like Ari Melber on MSNBC are toning down their discussion of Trump.

You’re right about all of it, William. But there’s a reason the mainstream (lame stream) media has become what it is. It is almost fully owned by the oligarchy. Their agenda is fully transparent .

Our last good newspaper in NE Pennsylvania was just sold (against the owners wishes) to the same Wall Street hedge fund that has bought our other newspapers. Both times I Immediately saw a difference in headlines, which became critical of Biden (even when the News article itself reported otherwise). The idea of a liberal press is a joke.

It isn't a liberal press or a conservative press it is an honest press that is the joke. When truth has to be censored, we are ran by liars criminals and thugs.

William, 1930’s American Capitalists including a Bush and Henry Ford Senior used to say they too could work with Hitler. And they did, until they were finally made to stop.

Yes “ As Jamie Dimon said, they can work with and profit with whoever wins.” is a real clear red flag for Oligarchs to gear up in support of Trump.

Not really, Some are hedging your bets. Take Jamie Dimon, who said at Davos, that he can work with either Trump or Biden.

Trust me Linda, most large scale American corporations are just fine with Trump.

Their bigger fear is the global power of the Neo-Feudal Lords like Bezos, Musk et al.
