Jesus fucking Christ, Skydance! This isn't fucking rocket science.

Let it get to Chump that, if he approves the merger in your favor, they'll be able to steer the Netflix Peace Prize to him.

That's two Peace Prizes. Two. Nobel will have to give him theirs because of the Rule of Three.

Or maybe he'll only get as far as the N.

So if Trump takes over the entire media, who gets control of it after The Good Thing happens?

You'll probably find this hard to believe, or maybe not considering the timeline so far, but it's me.

I know. I was as surprised as you are.

I'm not sure that Trump should be involved in this, given he's committed the most serious crime in America per his justice department: Claiming two primary dwellings.

That doesn't sound like an official duty of the President, hence no immunity.

Jared jumping into a bid for CNN and HBO with Saudi cash is exactly the energy of a guy who treats American media like a yard sale he wandered past. And Trump swooping in to “help” the merger is perfect, because nothing says free press like the old man demanding his cut before the ink’s dry.

Honestly, if these two get control of the news, don’t be surprised when every channel becomes “The Apprentice, but make it propaganda.”

He already has control of the media. If a reporter who works side by side with another reporter every day refuses to stand up and defend her when a spray-painted moron insults her, then he has control of the media. I expect Kristi Noem's ICE raids, accompanied by loud rock music, to be on a screen near me very soon.

Does Tiffany's father-in-law count? Because he was the one engineering that "peace" between Rwanda and Congo -- the one where the presidents of the respective countries got dragooned into that peace institute in D.C. that Trump slapped his name on, so Trump could crow about what an honor it was to slap his name on the building.

The motivation is similar here. Congo has a lot of riches, in gold, copper and other valuable minerals; it's been a main driver of the war, which has lasted more than 10 years. What do you want to bet the Trumpies are already reaching for a piece of that pie?

Oh, and the "peace" in that part of Africa lasted about as long as the "peace" in Gaza.

Oh, Tiffany's joke "husband" is all-in on sopping up handouts from Tiny Hand's GOP -- dirty money stolen from people who actually work for a living and pay taxes. Poor dude has zero self-respect -- which actually shows some self-awareness.

If Trump extorted a mere $16 million from CBS / Paramount in order to approve their sale to the Ellison’s, one can only imagine how much Trump will shakedown the ultimate buyer , Netflix or the Ellisons. Every major deal made within the American economy, mergers & acquisitions, import/export, industry expansion, the ubiquitous Masters of the Universe Tech Bros machinations, anything & everything, Trump is getting his cut of the deal. The upcoming Trump War for Venezuela oil, he will get his cut from the oil industry. He is so out of control and free from any restraints, that he is using America’s military power to kill and put extortion money into his fast growing coffers. The corruption is beyond mind boggling, all the while average Americans will lose their health insurance and poor people will loose their food subsidies.

DJT is the most f-ed up person on the planet, he remembers every slight, even if it had nothing to do with him, and takes it personally-- and he never moves on. Imagine what his mental turmoil is like, uncontrolled anger roiling in his head constantly.

"...And former (?) gameshow host Trump has always hated Netflix, ever since they penned a deal in 2018 with Michelle and Barack Hussein Obummer’s production company for a woke documentary...."

One has to wonder if that is why he got Bezos to give Melania $40 million for her "documentary". I haven't found how much the Obama's deal was for, but I did see that their production company has been producing more than puff pieces about the First Lady.

They've won Emmys. Chump has never won an Emmy.

He was nominated twice for as "Best Host" for "The Apprentice", but didn't win. He did, however, win several Razzies, and an award from the "Latino Entertainment Journalists Association" called the "Muy Mal" award ( which, in my limited Spanish, must mean something like "the very bad" ).

However, he seems to have won several Emmys for his roles as "executive producer" on "The Apprentice" and several beauty pageants. Does anyone really know what an "executive producer" does, other than getting their names in the credits?

Maybe Stripper 1 will finally get cast in a first class top tier porn production, instead of these cheap seedy photo shoots of her past……

Trump was elected once. That was confusing enough. And a lot of people A LOT OF PEOPLE seemed to think he did a good job. Even though he wasn't REELECTED, but then he wouldn't go away, so America I guess thought he wasn't that bad, compared to that Biden, and here we are. Beats me.
