Once again, this is the guy who conned a Nobel Peace Prize winner to give him her Nobel reward. You want to talk fraud, talk about a man who covets a Nobel but claims it the easy way and then wages war.

Gold Star mom finds closure in US strikes on Iran: 'It's not a war — it's payback' A Chesterfield mom whose son was the first Virginian killed in Iraq says U.S. strikes on Iran gave her comfort and closure after decades of doubt.

This is a wild take by this woman. She's saying saying the #Iran strikes were payback from her son dying in Operation Iraqi Freedom. 🤨

1. His tank feel into a river.
2. In Iraq
3. They were there under false pretenses as no WMDs were found.

CBS News conducts a poll.

It finds that only 18% of Americans advocate removing Iran's leadership "by force," and 74% say Trump needs congressional approval before starting a war.

So their headline is, "CBS News poll on Americans' views on Iran prior to conflict."

So along with social media pics showing legible screens inside Trump's makeshift situation room at Mar-a-Lago, there are people leaking military secrets in DC-area restaurants. And now, Polymarket betting -- possibly by insiders or people in touch with them. Cool, cool.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

On oligarch media consolidation, TV networks matter, but don't sleep on:

TikTok USA (Ellison, Andreesen, others)
Ex-Twitter (Musk, Saudis)
Electronic Arts (Saudis, Kushner)

All Trump donors, allies, bribers, and/or family.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

So it's November. The people Trump placed in charge of the USPS are told to throw away any mail in ballot envelopes from zip codes in known blue leaning districts. The votes never arrive, are never counted.

SCOTUS just said this is entirely legal.

Basically from a business perspective Paramount's offer only makes sense if they assume they're getting more out of it than the strict cash value of the acquisition. This is where the "political allies" card comes into play, which is why the offer is so worrisome. (9)

From what I understand, the Netflix deal was considered much better for the future health of Warner Bros because the Paramount deal would involve saddling WB with staggering amounts of debt, because billionaires never use their own money to buy anything.

This is so so so bad. CNN is about to be under the control of Paramount, which means it will go the way of CBS, and the last remaining non-state cable news will be MSNOW.

There you go. An overt technofascist Trump ally will now own CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Discovery, and a big chunk of TikTok

Netflix drops out of bidding after WBD deems Paramount’s takeover bid ‘superior’ | CNN Business Netflix said Thursday afternoon that it has “declined to raise its offer for Warner Bros.” after the Warner Bros. Discovery board determined that Paramount has submitted a “superior” offer.

There goes CNN into the clutches of Bari Weiss and Scott Jennings: state media for the authoritarians. This is fucked.

the other thing about this is that they can’t really afford to run WB disco into the ground, they already have a mountain of debt from buying paramount and oracle’s gargantuan capex spree, they need all of these things to be successful (oracle being the most important and the highest risk)

I can't emphasize enough that the idea of a Paramount-WB merger producing 30-40 movies a year is an absurd fiction. First WB will become the "classy" label within Par (which is only about Rescue Rangers, Scream and existing IP). Then it will become the specialty or streaming label. Then it will die.

the license criminalization scheme in Kansas...stripping immigrants of their legal status...

all of this shows, and is meant to show, that the legal rights of disfavored groups are conditional and can be rescinded at will

such discriminatory chaos is incompatible with a real inclusive democracy
