Is it that hard to just admit that journalism has taken a huge hit?

The President for the last almost four years has been a fellow named Biden. Biden, not Trump. The problem for the past four years has been the failure of supposed journalists to accurately cover the decline of the President.

I have no idea what will happen for the next four years. Trump could start to fail in the manner that Biden did. Whatever happens, that will be the news at that point...good or bad.

There are a few conservative outlets and they don't do a great job either. You do have to separate the news shows from the stuff like Hannity.

Biden is the President; he is the one the mainstream media has covered up for over the past four years. They'll be all over Trump like stink on crap. Just like always.


I'm not regretting Biden. At all. I can name a whole list of things I agree with, whether he was fully with it or not. But we're talking about press coverage, not Presidential performance. I'm not a Republican.

The economy killed him. But the economy is not the only thing I care about. I care even less about all the immigration matters.

As far as it goes, I'd be fine not seeing Trump his whole term, as long as things are getting done. And done correctly. That's a pipe dream though.

"Missing in action" for what? It's Congress's job to get a budget passed. We had a bill. Donny tanked it, as well President-non-elect Elon. So that's Mike Johnson's and the GOP's problem to solve. Congress is now out adjourned. Good time for a vacation!


We had a bill with many billions in waste in it. That kind of bill needs to be tanked.

And what did Biden's team get done. Absolutely nothing, because they were picked to be symbols not to accomplish anything. They were chosen because of their race gender and ethnicity, that was the most important thing. Getting something actually done would have been novel, but nobody expected it and nobody criticized them when they were totally useless. Trump is picking people who have actually accomplished things in life and this is scaring the living crap out of the Democrats. That's not how this is supposed to work, they don't want anything to change. God forbid. They just want the status quo to continue leaning more and more towards the left but they shattered the crap out of that, they went too far as they always do.

On Friday, Musk took to the social media platform he has ruined and wrote of the anti-worker-visa crowd: “Take a big step back and F--K YOURSELF "in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.” "

Love it!

Dissension in the ranks.

Musk Calls for ‘Major Reform’ of ‘Broken’ H-1B Visa System

"Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk has shifted his stance on the H-1B visa program, now calling for a “major reform” of the system just days after vowing to “go to war” in a fiery defense of the immigration program."

Try and keep up..

It needs much reform as it gets very abused. Seen it myself.

But I don’t get it. The left wingers keep saying Trumpers just listen to him and don’t think for themselves yet look at how Musk did.

They cannot make up their tiny minds. Either Trump's team are robots who do whatever Trump wants or they fight and argue with him about everything. It changes day to day. They are not used to members of a Democrat team making any news because once they're appointed they all just disappear into the woodwork never to be heard from again. They're either raising their gay babies at home or at the airport stealing women's luggage. Or checking into hospitals for operations and not telling anybody. An administration team that wants to actually accomplish something is totally foreign to them.

What fights with Trump? This is like the first one that ever made the news. Trump’s inner circle are bootlickers. Or they wouldn’t be there very long.

Musk will be tolerated the longest, because Trump sees “ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$” in his eyes.

Why hire an American when you can hire a foreigner for less?


Both Musk and Ramaswamy seem like foreigners, not MAGA patriots.

If they aren't, they could have fooled me.


This is partially why we have record homelessness (abortion numbers increase so they import more foreigners to replace the innocent deaths instead of hiring Americans).

And the Americans that do get lucky, get downward pressure with wages.
