Often, writers at Daily Kos are left fuming about instances in which large media outlets seemingly skew the facts to preserve their sacred devotion to holding Democrats to an infinitely higher standard than Republicans. (Looking at you, New York Times.) So it seems only appropriate that when one of those outlets does something right, it should be recognized.

In Thursday’s coverage of visits to the southern border by both President Joe Biden and Donald Trump, CNN didn’t just follow both and deliver bland language about competing messages. When Trump’s few minutes of talking were chock full o’ lies, CNN cut in and moved immediately to provide its audience with a real-time fact check.

This isn’t the first time CNN has done this. CNN’s past refusal to fully air one of his speeches so enraged Trump that he tried to have the company’s license revoked without seeming to realize that cable networks don’t need a license. But it’s always good to see the media treating the facts as important, so … hat tip.

Convicted felon Donald J. Trump, the maga moron running for president even though his last term was a failure under which more Americans died than any other president’s term—including all the war time presidents — can’t handle criticism. When a media outlet—network, newspaper, magazine, organization—says anything bad about him he sticks his fingers in his ears, closes his eyes and shouts “fake news!” over and over until he turns from orange to red and passes out.

Well, recently on his unsocial network site, Trump lies Social, he says when he becomes president, he will take away the license of CBS News. It’s just one more way that illustrates how uselessly uninformed this living tumor is. In a country in which freedom of the press is guaranteed, there are no “licenses” for news. You don’t need a license to publish a newspaper, magazine, or brochure; or to produce a news show on a news or entertainment network. CBS News has no license to take away.

Individual television and radio stations broadcasting locally have licenses but that has to do with the frequency they broadcast as, the channel. None of those networks have a license to broadcast news. They can broadcast anything they want.

So what license is Trump going to take away, exactly? If this country makes the worst mistake it has ever made by electing Trump for a second term, is he going to create licenses to disseminate news just to take them away from sources which criticize him?

Trump is an incompetent business failure, a tv gameshow host, a vindictive cunt, a stupid fool who thinks injecting bleach should have cured Covid so they should research it. In the 2020 election he insists he lost due to fraud, he forgets that his refusal to take Covid seriously, over a million people died, most of whom probably would have voted for Trump because they refused to be vaccinated. Rather than accept he killed off a large portion of his base. He claims fraud because he refuses to accept losing, when that’s all he has ever done: he has lost 6 businesses to bankruptcy because he is incompetent at running a business; he has lost the a civil case and a criminal case in court, and millions of dollars in fines and restitution; he has lost his college because he defrauded his students; he lost his privilege to do business in New York; he lost his charity because he was funneling off profits; he lost the respect and support of his entire cabinet from his first term (except for 4 individuals); he lost the 2016 election popular vote; he lost the 2020 election popular and electors; he lost every single court case he filed to overturn the election; and he has lost his mind.

No other candidate for president has shown so much incompetence and ignorance about role of president—especially after having already served a term. He is ruining personified. He wants to be king so he bought a Supreme Court to facilitate that. Of course there are puppeteers pulling his strings to whom he is beholden.

Trump projects his corruption on his opponents: first Biden then Harris. And the mass of uninformed undereducated poor white people and obscenely wealthy white people which make up his base just nod and cheer everything he says, even when he mumbles nonsense.

Trump is wrong about everything and lies about everything else. He’s a racist full of hatred who loves quoting Hitler and wants to be a dictator with unlimited power. If elected, he says his next term will be about retribution, revenge. He will start by rounding up a deporting both legal and illegal immigrants; then rounding up and detaining his critics. This is not hyperbole.

🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

Trump’s victory will reinforce the American anti-Palestinian approach, and the Democratic Party’s loss is a natural result of its direct involvement in the zionist war of genocide.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine affirms that Donald Trump and the Republican Party’s victory in the U.S. elections does not, in any way, signify a real change in the hostile approach that successive American administrations have pursued against our Palestinian people and their just cause. There is no fundamental difference between the Republican and Democratic parties; both have contributed to supporting the zionist entity and participated in the war of genocide against our people, whether through policies or unlimited military and diplomatic support.

Our people have never placed their hopes on any candidate from either the Democratic or Republican parties, as we have never witnessed any positive change in U.S. administration policies, which have consistently aligned fully with the zionist entity, providing it with military funding and all forms of political, legal, and diplomatic protection.

The Democratic Party’s loss is a logical result of its complicity with the zionist entity; it rejected calls from supporters of the Palestinian people, the Palestinian community, and Arab and Muslim communities in the United States to pressure for an end to the war of genocide in Gaza, continuing its support for aggression against our people. Today, the Democrats are paying the price for ignoring these demands at the ballot box.

We in the Popular Front do not expect any positive development from a Donald Trump administration; rather, we anticipate an escalation in hostile policies against our people, fully biased in favor of the zionist entity.

We call on supporters of the Palestinian people, as well as movements, organizations, and groups that stand with our cause in the United States, to intensify pressure on the new U.S. administration to end its support for the zionist entity.

We see in the popular and student movements that stand in solidarity with Gaza, along with the emergence of small, free voices and parties, a glimmer of hope that could contribute to even a slight change in the U.S. stance on our cause.

The US has blocked a statement, put forward by Algeria and backed by all UNSC’s 15 members except the US, to the UN Security Council that would have condemned Israel for the killing of more than 100 Palestinians awaiting food aid in northern Gaza.

The US claimed it is trying to verify the “circumstances around how people died” to see if “we can find some language that everyone can agree on”.
