Thanks for this great discussion today. The Guardian had good coverage of the cabinet meeting. "Trump treats cabinet to stream of vitriol and untruths – but only when he’s awake"

I'm so infuriated - why is everyone so afraid of this POS?

Listened twice

Thank you

for your surprise ☺️ “On Target” commentary,

and I so adamantly agree that “Legacy Media” is enormously failing us because they are, as you say Steven, “struggling to capture the relevancy of the moment.”

“People minimize the recklessness and the danger “ because the legacy media

“Milque-toast” their titles and content.

Mark is correct we need hard hitting media desperately!

🔴How do we urgently alter the lackadaisical media behavior?

“Stay vigilant”

💙🇺🇸💙

Couldn't agree more! As a journalism major in school many many moons ago it is a huge disappointment to say the least. I had to cancel my NYT and WaPo during the elections as their coverage was so abysmal!! Altho I was happy to read that the NYT was suing the Pentagon for it's press policies - let's see how far that goes...

This is spot on. I almost can’t blame the “legacy” media for treating this sickening reality show as normal, because in Trumpworld this IS normal.😝😝

i agree that WaPo and NYT are owned by people who feel the need to suck up to trump to protect their own businesses. One thing I'd like looked into is how we GOT to the point that people feel their businesses are threatened by trumpism and need to kowtow to protect them.

Sorry. That's "for the Middle East."

And, Jared Kushner --- Jardee Kushner, who holds no official position anywhere in the U.S. government, and thus not Senate confirmed, with no security clearance, sits in at a high level meeting the Russians, with our delegation led by Steve Witkoff, a real estate developer who is for some reason Trump's Special Envoy foe the Middles East!!!

What is Marco Rubio thinking? Possibly, "what --- I gave up a life-time seat in the United State Senate for this????"
