It’s pretty fucked up that Trump knows he can lie and take bribes because he knows the press won’t use the words “lie” or “bribes.”
It’s pretty fucked up that Trump knows he can lie and take bribes because he knows the press won’t use the words “lie” or “bribes.”
Trump media is the new standard?
And without any press (or congressional) pushback, he’s free to start using a plane that almost certainly has more monitoring devices than it does avionics.
No. He does it bc he knows Congress, the only government agency empowered to hold him accountable according to SCOTUS, won’t lift a finger to impeach him.
Yes the American press is useless these days. No balls at all.
Why not? They is what they are.
Agree… what about the disgraceful Congressional Republicans who remain silent! Even though their role is to be stewards of Our Country & its citizens.
And he knows he's got the entirety of the GOP and SCOTUS willing to look the other way too.
What's most fucked up is that Trump knows he can lie and take bribes because the SCOTUS says he has immunity to commit any crime he wants as part of an official act!!!! The press is just going along with the immunity.
So that would just mean he doesn't get prosecuted for accepting. It doesn't mean he necessarily gets to keep the plane. We need to impound so much from him and his corrupt family.
But, who is going to impound items from the Trump family? The federal government is totally under GOP control, and the GOP is totally controlled by their oligarchical donors.
And Republicans in Congress will do nothing to protect/honor our Constitution, much less their oaths of office!🤬
There are some good, polite professional journalists in the mainstream media. But on the right, there is an army of lying, spinning, hysterical propagandists. There needs to be oversight of all media to ensure a degree of professionalism. Fox destroyed America. Or are they a symptom, not the cause?
Even if they did, the GOP and corrupt AG would be on board with it.
Media are to blame
He knows no one is stopping him, he is ignoring the courts, won`t face impeachment, his Republican party will run interference for him whilst his lieutenants demolish, corrupt and damage govt agencies, voters will march, and protest on social media but he can and will ignore that, its just noise.
Even if they did, he will still do it.
Well, the US press at least. The wide-world of news media not based in the US has started to learn.
it is telling that the DEMS are useless trying to fight the MAGA scum who LIE and take bribes and the lamestream corporate press does NOTHING. no wonder they lost the election in 2024.... going to happen in 2026? better do something about it!!
They won’t call it out as it is. They’re too used to same-washing the reprehensible. This is America. CHAPTER 47: The Moral Bankruptcy of the Republican Party Vote Every Republican Out
The discussion we should be having, federal agents take oaths to the Constitution and our laws. Regardless what a "boss" tells them, breaking laws, ignoring crimes, aiding and abetting republican crimes by the FBI, Federal Marsal's, ICE, should end in prosecutions of every law enforcement agent.
Here’s my issue…your president fucks us all. Pisses me right the fuck off.
More like a paid press rather than a free press.
I’m disgusted with the press. But disgusted is so much better than what I feel about Pres Shithead, so I’ll take it.
It’s acceptable because he’s an unrepentant criminal rapist.
The main steam propaganda are responsible for drump getting elected. They lied, cheated, and stole for that orange piece of shit. What do you think the percentage of Trump vs Biden/Harris for free coverage was? I bet it was significantly in drumps favor. Fuck mainstream propaganda!!!
I'm surprised there isn't a female journalist that is 🍊💩's type who can "charm" him & manipulate the answers out of him without playing by Trump's illegal words rule. There's gotta be someone...
That need to be called what they are…. And not hedged like maybe, or allegedly or some say
allegedly...
And Qatar finances Hamas. Now what will Israel say?
Yep, pretty fucked up is accurate.
He has understood the 5th Avenue Rule longer and better than anyone.
And that’s what’s wrong.
The lamestream media is the enemy of reality.
It took the press 3 years to actually say Trump lied.
i keep having this fantasy that the woman reporter who asked trump about $400 million "grift" i mean gift... when trump said to her: you should be embarrassed for asking that question ... she responded: i'm not the one who ought to be embarrassed would that have been the seismic shift we needed?
He also knows no one will hold him accountable either. He's grifting away for the next 3 1/2 years and no one has the couarge to stop him.
He’s gotten away with it his entire life and it makes no sense how one man can escape accountability for everything for so many years and then be rewarded again and again for his corrupt conduct.
It's only been 4 months and he's grifted a damn 747. Where will it end?
He's aiming for a country.
Lawrence O’Donnell says “lie” all the time about tRump.
And Republicans will not hold him accountable either🤬
How bout’ .. untruths, conflict of interest & corruption.. would those words work? Just sayin’.. helping out the press…
He doesn't care. He's getting richer and more powerful and now he's reaching his goal of tanking the US and global economy so he can benefit from crypto. Which is also in keeping with what Thiel/Musk want to accomplish. Burn it so we can reign over the ashes.
I wouldn’t care about that AT ALL if there were any entity that would hold him accountable. 😩
Nor will the Republican Party. At this point I say Democrats start accepting similar gifts of artillery and military equipment to help us fight the civil war that’s here.
Same effect on Bezos neutering the Post… “If Trump win’s I need to stay on his good side to get all those govt contracts, if Dems win they won’t do anything to me” With WH reporters, they’re too desperate to be the next anchor to say anything that would get them kicked out like the AP
Where is the patriotism of these reporters that don’t speak the truth in these “briefings?” Like you know he’s a crook and he just demeans you when you do your job AND he is ruining your country….?!?!?!?!?
I’ve been saying this since 2017!!!
@cnn.com @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @reuters.com @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @apnews.com
He wouldn’t care if they used those words
Trump partners with Qatar. Qatar funds Hamas. Hamas attacks Israel in a manner so heinous that it evokes an absolutely heinous response... ...and influences the election. Trump continues partnership with Qatar.
True. But elected representatives can use those words. If Schumer says that taking the plane is a bribe and a crime the press will report it. If Jeffries says that trump is auctioning off access to the WH and is criminal the press will report it Media is at fault. But so are Dems
THAT Part!!!
Don’t forget he took classified documents to mar a lago. Wonder what he gave to Qatar?
Press is scared of the 79 year old grandpa in cognitive decline.
If journalism is revisited, the first class goes over repetitive redundancy in detail . .;-/
that's the sorta dividing chasm between press pundits and serious journalists these days... read 'em and reap.. or weep.
It’s more fucked up that it wouldn’t even matter if they did.
Oddly enough, his cult will… www.cnn.com/2025/05/12/m...
But it doesn't stop him.
I'm still waiting on my REFUND from all the "savings" found by DOGE - yet the Debt increases each day. The best part of Trump's Jet is that taxpayers will pay to have it inspected and updated if he decides to use it! Another DOGE "Savings?"
What part of the movie is when journalists realize it is actually their role to call this out? Soon will be way too late to try it.
You think if they did it would make any difference? Where you been lately.
The media have failed us.
And no one in congress will stop him! Grifters gonna grift! #Corruption #Bribe
That’s right they don’t use it. Why don’t they! That’s what they are say the truth.
True. The press has failed our country. cbwrong.blogspot.com?m=1
When they let KellyAnne get away with coining/using the term "alternative facts" without the slightest bit of pushback, they set a precedent. And here we are. Alas.
Yeah. They'll report "raised eyebrows". Shame.
Been outplaying the press for 10 years now
Sickening
The fact that those pressers have not a wit of self preservation for ACTUAL DEMOCRACY is terrifying.
And it's a gift from "HAMA's" and he gets to keep it to himself just because the gift is "SHINY" he hasn't ended any war. And the Pakistan/Indian war just started not to long ago, both nations have Nuclear Weapons. The plane is "Shiny" that's the reason he wants to keep it which is also a Bribe.
Did I mention it's "Shiny"?????
The American Press can no longer be trusted
What’s fucked up is that the majority of people don’t care. 80 million would still vote for him. The laws can’t do anything about it. The nation is rotten to the core… Honestly, I couldn’t give two fucks about the MSM.
It's also pretty fucked up that the entire Congress sits on their hands and let his crime spree continue.
This!!!!!!!
I said this since the clown came down the escalator, the press & most all politicians are too scared,too mealy mouthed, too subservient to just call this professional LIAR, A LIAR!!! As far as "bribes", he did so much shit in his first term that was definitely shady, quid pro quo! He's vermin!!
And then there's this. Trump signed a $5.5 billion gold course and resort agreement with Quatar on April 30. 10 days later he gets a half-billion airplane. apnews.com/article/trum...
Share with EVERYONE youtube.com/shorts/YhoT8...
I get that Trump, his family and most of the GOP are a bunch of crooks. But imagine how fine a $5.5B golf course would be.
Come on guys! Trump said that ppl were calling & he was making lots of deals. Oh! You thought he meant for the country. 😂😂😂 For America as our President! 😂😂😂😂 Clearly ppl haven't had their heads in the games. Oh! Sorry. That's none of his supporters. Their hit in the head is coming soon. @msnbc.com
He stole the office of the President to A.) Stay out of prison, because he WOULD be there if Harris won, and B.) To STEAL as much American Taxpayer money as possible. The idiots that voted for him are not only dumb as a box of rocks, but Traitors as well. REMOVE TRUMP! youtube.com/shorts/YhoT8...
I realize in Trump's world there's no longer freedom of speech for people speaking truth, but Boy do I agree! The forefathers put in writing what to do, how to do it & when to do it. It's mind blowing having to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait to see Congress delay w/o taking action. @msnbc.com
He’s a dirty mofo
What a worthless fat fuck!
Eric Lipton ignores this
bsky.app/profile/gmf1...
It’s a crime syndicate.
bsky.app/profile/jjlu...
Wow! What an amazing coincidence.
The GOG/DJT grift never ends & our media is clueless how to cover it, too, by accepting one set of lame excuses, after another, at a scale unmatched in the entire 248 yrs of this country. All while DJT lines his pockets at every turn or trip.
But Joe Biden covered his son's truck payment while he was a private citizen. So I mean, is there REALLY any difference?
He knows he can commit genocide and war crimes too. That's because administrations from both parties have. Obama didn't hold Bush accountable, Biden funded a genocide. Trump is one of the fruits of this.
They definitely won’t…
You are right on, the press just let's him lie lie lie and than double down and lie some more
Exactly. He doesn’t even bother hiding it anymore because the media still plays the ‘both sides’ game while democracy gets steamrolled.
And that he controls all three branches of government and will terminate, imprison, impeach those who get in his way.
He knows he got a free pass from SCOTUS.
Exactly, they told him he's above the law. Good thing because he's a lawless criminal.
Also because the 'judicial' side of things won't do diddly/squat
All Donald Trump does is LIE. Support independent Black Media. @rolandsmartin.bsky.social #RolandMartin #BlackStarNetwork
And I bet Roberts, Thomas, Grosuch, Barrett and Alito are rather pleased with their "absolute immunity" decision
The press is despicable
What’s alarming is how the press actually lied and pushed propaganda against Biden and Harris. Trump would post some stupid lie and they’d run it like it was the truth.
Well , Lawrence O Donnell gets an MSNBC tongue-lashing for being critical so there you go.
Absolutely correct.
i’m not why everyone is still calling it the press. it’s propaganda media and all are owned by rich MAGA bigots and people who work for the propaganda outlets are “just following orders”. ask these clowns who pretend to be journalists.
It's beyond fucked up. AND it can never be forgiven & never be forgotten that the Media played a large part in the unfolding nightmare currently taking place in the USA with the negligence & nonchalance. All for GREED!
What the hell has America become?
These clowns will stick with things like "...experts suggest could be misleading." Or"... which could potentially raise ethics concerns." I hate it here
It’s pretty fucked up that I am forced to agree with Rand Paul for the second time in recent weeks. Never thought Rand would be the most courageous and most correct Republican in Congress.
Swirling feelings of incredulity, rage and abject despair. Can ANYTHING break through the overriding American need to be polite?
Bribery!!
💯
Because he'll sue and they'll cave.
Sell the plane. Buy pencils.
And I must object and ask, why the fuck not? Are they cowards or complicit?
Well he's white male rich republican - we all know those folks are totally and morally unassailable.
Those are the only words that describe Donald.
No, they can't use those words because that's libel and they'll instantly get sued. That doesn't mean they have to write glowing headlines about "luxury gifts" without even mentioning the concept of corruption, though. The amount of mainstream sanewashing going on right now is absolutely astounding.
Yeah, the journalists don't want to go to El Salvador!
A rose by any other name.....
When did common sense and empathy become extinct in the Republican Party? How many Laws will Trump be allowed to break with impunity?
Apparently, all of them.
Congress is incapable of using those words too.
They just rolled over. Walter Cronkite, Murrow…all of them are weeping.
There is only one network that will call him out. Hint: not fox entertainment or the new and very disappointing cnn.
That seems so f*cked up.Make the Press do their jobs and tell truth about this monster 👿 man. #StopFelonNaziTrump #TrumpNotForAmerica
Why not? Call it like it is!🔥
👍 Also: It's pretty fucked up that there are not enough members of Congress with strong enough spines to hold him accountable.
Exactly! I am completely disgusted with the Republican party. They are complicit in the destruction of our federal government and our democracy that is currently happening. My hatred for the Republican party burns with the heat of a thousand suns. 🔥🤬🔥
The media coddling crybaby Trump is what got him elected.
Absolutely, but don't forget that he cheated to get back in office.
The media held Kamala to a higher standard every single time. It was sickening, but effective. I had co workers that did the same thing mimicking the the media.
Every single day trump takes a part of the government, putting his people into critical positions and Americans do nothing but moan, do they realise the direction that their country is going?
They had no problem with those words when it was Hunter Biden.
And they aren’t. Not even the NYT
And neither will the American Fascist Party (formerly known as GOP)
What is fucked to me is that he is doing all this shit and the Senate and the House are quiet about it. They don’t care about the people or the country
We have a few decent reporters left in this country, but overall the press fucking sucks.
If he murdered someone live on air, they would no doubt have been 'administratively unalived'.
Also fucked up that he knows no Republican has the balls to push back at all. Being so afraid of your own leader that you completely lose your principles and morals - that's fucked up.
Simply because press will be banned, shut down, call Bezos, uninvited to WH press briefings. Maybe it’s similar when my Mercedes 😂 (I don’t have a car) is in the shop and they send me a loaner? 🤣
The Vichy NYT says “it strains the bounds of propriety”… Corruption, emoluments and bribes will do that.. yep, WTAF?
NOR ESPECIALLY WILL THE BODY THAT CAN STOP IT ALL! CONGRESS
or more likely, it doesn’t matter because SCOTUS said he can do whatever he wants
Even worse, there is currently NO means of enforcing the law against all the criming. It is NOT GOING TO STOP until he is out - by whatever means…
Every Media outlet that won't call out Trump's corruption. Should pay the ultimate price with Protest, with lost viewers, lost subscribers and the fact that we know they can never be trusted again. Even when reporting the smallest of News. Any real Journalist would have left along time ago.
And he has a compliant majority in Congress who are fine with his lies and bribes.
And the Rethuglicans sit back and do nothing!!! 😡😡
"Exaggeration & donation are my safe words", he said, choking the words out past the ball gag jammed in his mouth, pausing only to run his tongue along the Russian president's inner thigh...
and because the justice system will do nothing about it anyway
Yeah. Instead settling on “Strains the Bounds of Propriety.” Give me a God Damned break NYTimes.
The Emoluments Clause ended when he hijacked the Office of Government Ethics and installed one of his sycophants.
That's what simps do. 🤷♂️ They simp
Media failed our country 😞🙏⚖️
I applied to be the headline writer for the NYT. My application: editorial@nytimes.com I am applying for a job writing headlines for the NYT. My qualifications are that I am ANYBODY and that ANYBODY would be better than your current writers. I can start today. Repost! #NYT
The media is bought and paid for...rich people run the country...at least the world sees it now and the America is the greatest country in the world crap is over...
And Congress won't impeach him!
He is, for all intents and purposes, above the law. An insurrectionist felon and lifelong fraud... And a current sitting president can openly take bribes now.😵💫 Stupidity, capitalism and white glove treatment of propaganda led us to this precipice. And it will only get worse.🇺🇸🪦
And the american people won't do a damn thing.
