Trump has now created a tweet alluding to State News. Another test that he's going to pass. Authoritarianism, here we come.
Can you quote the tweet please? I don't really get what you mean without that... he's going to pass what test?
But yeah, he TOTALLY wants state-run news media, all the way. He's already halfway there, and hardly anyone even seems to care.
"While CNN doesn't do great in the US based on ratings, outside of the US they have very little competition. Throughout the world, CNN has a powerful voice portraying the US in an unfair and false way. Something has to be done, including the possibility of the US starting our own Worldwide Network to show the World teh way we really are, GREAT!"

So -- basically, he'll ask RT to cut him a nice deal to air "our" "real" news abroad? Something like that, I bet. He won't do it unless there's something in it for him -- too damn lazy and narcissistic to do otherwise,
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

Pence suggested that there be a state run media when he was Gov of Indiana....that didn't go over well.

Thank you, and WTF?? Wow. I mean, the really scary part is that I have absolutely no idea if he's just too fucking stupid and ignorant and senile to understand what that ACTUALLY says, or if this is a serious, deliberate suggestion.

The lengths some go to play devil's advocate is nauseating. Especially when it is apples to oranges.
This.
There are a handful of people here who post just for the sake of posting, and for stirring the pot.
I feel like this is a big percentage of our (USA) goddamn idiot population.
Quit stirring the pot. Nobody thinks that you are smarter because you can present a different viewpoint. Quite the opposite -- you make problems worse.
Yeah! Having a differing opinion is wrong! Kill them all, dictator style

Except if they are buying pizza from you. Then don't kill them. Pretend you respect them... take their money... wait until they leave your establishment... and then go back to typing how much you truly think of them!

Lol, I hate the general public, as do all my friends who are chefs. They’re animals. Keep being mad you sign the back of the check though, I’ll keep signing the front!

The new Congress gets sworn in in January so he's gonna go wild for the next month and a bit and then there will be people who have the balls to actually call him and his administration on some of this insanity.
Evidently the Republicans have all been castrated, including the women. And they have allowed Trump to move America towards a dictatorship and he knows exactly what he is doing. He is an idiot in a lot of ways but he knows how to disregard all norms and grab power and create havoc.
The Unifor Union Leader Jerry Dias, sounded like Trump today after the announcement of the GM Plant closures, he attacked GM and Mexico over their 2/hour wage and called for Canada to put tariffs on cars coming in from Mexico?
What's up with specific references to fellow members lately? Lots of dissing to a few when they aren't even involved in the topic. I may disagree with some about their views, but I don't feel the need to specifically call out someone not actively responding in a thread, unless I want to ask them a question. No reason to speak for someone who isn't on here to respond to a generalization about them as a person.
So - other than there being too many of them, I like the red trees. And inside it looks nice but again, too many trees. But I hardly see anything for people to get upset about.
I kinda like the red trees, too. Even if they remind me of the guys guarding the Emperor in Jedi.

Trump cavalry to the rescue!

(Who's upset? The trees are butt ugly and people have made note. They do complement Donald's orange flabby skin... sooo they got that going for them I guess?)

Me? Mad?
I'm not mad. I'm amused. Thoroughly.

It looks like she decorated for that last planet in The Last Jedi with the red sand. But whatever. It looked kind of cool I though from a thumbnail.
