    Say, anyone see the unredacted Mueller report? Hm?

    Anyone? Merrick keeps avoiding my calls.

        Yeah. He was hoping you wouldn’t notice. And that the corporate news would move on quickly, which they did

          I am still baffled that the media went on for so long building up the anticipation for the Mueller report, and then when it was released, they just accepted the word of Bill Barr - the guy who was specifically hired to quash the report. Unreal.

            It’s not that baffling, corpo media needs engagement for ratings, and hyping up the report was good for ratings. When it then turns out the report said exactly what everyone said it was, that’s not that engaging for 30-50% of the country and would actively push away the trump rubes and radical centrists.

              Despite MAGA going on about how much they hate the mainstream media, their existence depends on the media working the way it does.

    He accidentally said the quiet part out loud and an earlier interview on the topic. He said voting for Biden is”national suicide”.

    Which makes clear that his nation is white rich Americans

    He is laboring under the delusion that he would be able to survive under a tyrannical dictatorship

        Here’s the thing, grifters are very good at positioning themselves to gain advantage just in case.

        What’s the over under if Trump wins vs if Biden wins?

        The worse case scenario is an out of control, out for blood, Trump - this speech insulates him, might even put him on the table in some discussions.

        If Biden wins, nothing changes, he lost nothing.
