That’s a fate worse than death at some places if it is basically a storage facility where everyone is on Medicaid only coverage.

High staff turnover that is indifferent to neglectful, inadequate supplies, and poor quality food. Patients left to sit in their own shit and piss and at times far worse.

My stupid-ass mom went full blown maga. Growing up she always expressed a fear about ending up in a home, and made us promise to take care of her as she got old. Anyway, now that shes finally in a home, they held an art contest (as these places do). My mom's "contribution" was basically a fucking shrine to orange hitler, complete with the trump-as-rambo flag. Obviously she did not win, and was essentially mocked out of that home and into a different, shittier assisted living facility where my step-dad cant smoke freely so now hes pissed. To make matters worse (funnier), the current residents of the assisted living facility learned of the art contest shrine, and now the mocking continues. WHY DID BIDEN DO THIS, you ask? It all started with a tan suit...

If Mike Lindell can broadcast a looping playlist online, I'm sure the Federal govt can figure it out.

With his buddies Larry Ellison (CBS), the FCC chair, and cable companies wanting minimal regularion... I'm sure they can force them to run it.

I bought truthsocial.rip as a domain because I thought "There's no way this even gets to a functional state", and now he exclusively tweets from it and charges for fast API use. It's publicly traded and totally bonkers that it's gotten this far.

I legitimately think the only reason it met success is because he tweeted on it and people were using it to plan financial decisions based on his unhinged bullshit.

u/XJR15 29d ago

You're not allowed to doubt the elections, as if the machines were something sacred and magically invincible

I think it's because of people being scared of the repercussions, and the options that would then remain, of their votes not actually counting. It'd mean the only option to get rid of these nazis is not easy or comfortable or safe

Trump and Musk having a laugh, multiple times, openly, about "knowing those machines". Entire counties 100% voting for Trump, Kamala getting ZERO votes in certain areas. Totally normal stuff

Or will state sponsored TV be good enough for the Murdochs that they won’t care?

u/Chastain86 29d ago

My guess is it'll cut into their advertising revenue about as much as OANN does. It'll almost certainly be a subscription model, so the viewership will be pretty niche -- a very small subset of the folks that watch Fox News, which is available with any cable subscription. I honestly don't see it being a standard part of any cable package, because there's not enough money or grifting in that. Fox may view it as a sort of "companion channel," in a sense, in that they're focused on the same kinds of goals, but aside from Trump no longer needing to call in to Fox & Friends, I don't think it'll be any kind of real competition.

Time to organize your precinct folks. Its up to all of us to serve the country and right now that means every republican who went along with this travesty needs lose this November. What does it mean to organize a precinct? you might be wondering, so let me lay it out for you. Step 1 hop on your county website and grab a list of all democratic party members. Step 2 hop on your state board of elections website and download a voter record file for your county. Get one for 2024 and 2022. Step 3 cross reference those 3 files AI is great for this. What you are looking for are drop off voters in your precinct, people who voted in 2024 in the presidential election but not in 2022. These are the people we need to encourage to do their civic duty. Once you have compile that list of drop off voters in your precinct get a notebook out and start handwriting notes. Beg these people to vote, tell them what a drop off voter is and why you are trying to reach out, tell them how the neighborhood needs them lime never before, tell them we win if they do this one thing. Vote. Tell them where the voting location is, tell them where early voting is. Draw a cute picture if your talents lie that way. Write a hundred notes like that to drop off voters between now and election day. Its easy to ignore a text, a voicemail, or a slick campaign mailer. Its harder to ignore your neighbor.

It's 2026. We are a decade into this. You seriously cannot be getting any dopamine with the "well, ackshually, if a Democrat did this" any longer...

Yup. I was wondering what his real intentions were with this, but there it is. Crazy being alive to see this unfolding. It definitely helps you understand how Hitler was able to grow with power, and how people not just let it happen but enabled it. Keep in mind, Hitler didn't stop out of the goodness of his heart. There was plenty of support leftover after he was gone.

At the end of WW2, many people claimed they never knew about the camps. They call it plausible deniability. They claimed to be shocked by it.

There has been no international press in Palestine for 2 years. A genocide is underway and the World is looking away.

Do you remember not all that long ago when Republican states were filling any empty space with detention centers?

u/NumeralJoker 29d ago

I know this is an authoritarian move, but I see it much more as just his simple desire to grift with a direct appeal to his narcissism. I don't even think his own desire to overty state control factors into it at all.

This is all the reaction of a mentally ill, incompetent criminal who keeps failing upward.

It’s actually one of the big signs of fascism.

America is 1930s Germany. For all the bravado that America could never fall to fascism, the reality is that this can happen anywhere and in most situations the public is far too passive to do anything about it. People have things to do and bills to pay. It simply is too much effort for most people to do anything about it until it’s too late.

This. It’s literally fascism 101, silence all dissenting media opinions and control the narratives.

Or Trump will ask for donations to build the network before just pocketing the money. Could go either way. Trump's power-lust vs. Trump's greed is a real unstoppable force vs. immovable object mactch-up.

Indeed. But I find it ironic it's going to affect fox news. For once, the leopard will eat their face. And I certainly will enjoy watching the leopard feast on that one.

I know this is tired, but can you IMAGINE if Obama had banned Fox and then announced ObamaTV? He would have been impeached + removed from office within the week.

An announcement detailing the channel is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday on the White House’s YouTube channel

Shouldn't it have been announced by now?

Nobody but his own chuds are going to watch it.

u/vinnybawbaw Sep 22 '26

Not even naming it "America TV", "White House TV", or even "MAGA TV". He put his fuckin’ name on it. Your state run media with access to the White House bears the name of the President.

Him launching his own TV channel and barring people he doesn't like is tragic and hilarious but when he actually controls all of media, then come out with this take.

Don't even call it a foot in the door, because it's clearly not. It'll be watched by the lunatics that already follow him as a religion and absolutely nobody else.

Sincerely, someone who's lived through Russian state media. He's trying their playbook but.. tragically.

Imagine if Obama did... 5% of what Trump is doing, the maga filth would have started a civil war.

Fox News is already part of the Trump administration. What difference could this stupidity possibly make?
