The election is already over....

Huh? It's an incredibly important position. You don't think experience or qualifications matter?

Yikes. Trump's main criteria is loyalty & agreement (because he's so insecure). Look at history. The world's best leaders sought disagreement and liked to be challenged - they didn't surround themselves w/ yes men.

Well, if he doesn’t lie to Congress it will be a win, right lol?

Low bar, I know.

Marxism lite lol?

The ignorant ones are the youngsters, unfortunately. And that reflects poorly on our system of ‘higher’ education.

If you actually look at Bernie's policies, they're not Marxist at all. Younger people know this because the word "Socialist" doesn't cause our brains to shut down. Boomers hear "Socialist" and are unable to think about anything other than the Soviet Union.

They are corrupt.

I don’t know how Bernie’s people can miss it. Maybe they aren’t, this time.

CNN, MSNBC & Fox News are all about ratings. It is what it is. But considering the progressive nature of their audience I find it difficult to believe they would go hard after Bernie. It doesn't make business sense to me. However I admit to not watching those channels so I guess its possible that's what they are doing.

Of the three, only Fox is good at ratings.

The other two seem to be in the business of going out of business lol. Basically, because they are effectively the voice of the democrat establishment. Probably a big reason their ratings suck. And it’s never been more clear that they are in the tank for whoever the establishment candidate is and very much against Bernie.

Why? Because they have an agenda. They want establishment democrats to stay in power and Bernie is a threat to that. That makes them corrupt. Aka ‘enemy of the people’.

I’d say Trump has ‘had quite a bit of it’ so far lol.

He’s not perfect but nobody expected that. I don’t know what your experience is with department heads is but I haven’t run across a single one that would last five minutes at my job. Department heads are *managers* and not technicians. I see no reason to prejudge Trump’s replacement just because he’s never ran a wire tap or whatever.

We’ve seen the sort of shenanigans that have gone on very recently—given the FISA report. I’ll give the guy a chance to clean it up before I say yay or nay about him.

I was taught in a College Business Management class, that a supervisor doesn't need to know everything about the job; but instead needs to know how to get the people who do know, to do it.

If the dems take back the senate and maintain the house, Trump will not be able to do to much damage if he is re-elected?!!

Don't get your hopes up Trump is going to win with straight ticket voting and his coat tails will win the House and the Senate. The Dems will be sitting on their hands till 2022 at least.

It was a brilliant business move by Murdoch creating Fox News. There was a demand for conservative voices on TV and he provided the platform.

How he intends to pay for it lol?

Explain it yourself in your own words.

He's been pretty clear in saying taxes will go up. We'd also have more funds after we cut all the tax breaks for billionaires and funds for the military industrial complex. Say what you will about AOC, but she gets one thing completely right. We only ask "how are they going to pay for it?" when it comes to helping the working-class. Nobody asks how are we going to pay for tax cuts for billionaires, funding for wars and occupations, donations to Israel, and such.

MSNBC is a bit left. CNN is middle of the road news. Fox is Trump state news,. But if the left and center are splitting viewers, then you can probably understand why fox has higher ratings. They do not share their viewership. This should be simple to understand, even for rightys.

Based on?

Seems like wishful thinking. I have no idea what happens this year, but the Senate is set up favorably for the Dems to win back, and there isn't much to indicate that the House is in jeopardy.

In a scenario where Trump wins the presidency I doubt the senate flips as it is likely that the senators in the states he wins wins as well.

In a Trump victory I could see Gardner and Collins lose their seats but they would be replaced by whoever wins the seat of Jones and maybe Peters.

Murdoch said he was not creating a news network. His competition is ESPN. You guys have not been able to process that. You think a right-wing pretend station is the news.

Well at least the impeached one will be forced to run against the candidate he is afraid of.

And of course the grifter will find an excuse to not get on a debate stage with Bernie...maybe due to a debate audit by the IRS? :rofl2:

Afraid of a senile old socialist? Nah, I doubt it. Real Americans will renounce socialism, and Bernie Sanders.

The IRS? Is this IT?
(you can always go back to "the Russians fixed the election" bullshit)
 
Thing1 said:
Probably true. But a lot can happen before November.

This is definitely a low period for American politics. Those on the Trump side seem more focused on watching "media heads explode" than in taking an introspective look at what their cult of personality politics is doing to American security & excellence.

Utter nonsense, you are blinded by partisan hatred. Normal, thinking people, see results.
