Schmo what do you think about Colbert getting cancelled? Not sure if you're a fan. Tell you what, Trump is the biggest money hungry snowflake on the planet.
I, for one, am sad about Cobert getting cancelled, and I am pretty confident that Schmo feels the same way.
I also agree with you that Trump is very likely the biggest money hungry snowflake on the planet, not to mention the most power hungry, which, in turn, makes him one of if not
the most dangerous one. It is incomprehensible to me how many Americans somehow fail to see that!
He is certainly the greatest threat in my lifetime to freedom of expression and of the press, and probably every other part of the 1st Amendment as well.
Despite the lateness of the hour in Scotland, Donald Trump remained vocal on social media Saturday, unleashing a late-night rant in which he threatened to prosecute Kamala Harris, Oprah Winfrey and Beyonce while lashing out at news networks whose “licenses could, and should, be revoked.”
This is terrifying to me! With Trump loyalists installed in virtually every government agency, including the FCC, who is left who would dare constrain him from cancelling broadcast licenses to any and all media outlets who attempt to criticize him or factcheck him? With his appointee Pam Bondi as Attorney General, who evades any questions about what she will do if asked to break the law at his request, who will hold him accountable if he blatantly violates the laws or the constitution, they have both sworn to uphold? Even the The 6 to 3 majority in the Supreme Court seems more and more inclined to approve virtually anything Trump wants.
The president, who is spending the weekend golfing in the UK, wrote at 7.45 p.m. ET (12.45 a.m. local BST) that he was reviewing the large amount of money spent by his Democratic opponents “probably illegally” during the 2024 election.
Trump claimed Beyonce was paid $11 million to endorse Harris, and that she “never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!” He also claimed that Democrats paid $3 million in “expenses” to Oprah and $600,000 to civil rights activist and TV personality Reverend Al Sharpton.
There is no evidence that any of the people named in Trump’s rant were paid for their endorsement by the Democratic campaign.
“YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post. “Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out!”
Since when has it been against the law for anyone or organization to pay for endorsement of politicians and policies? Does Trump really expect us to believe that neither he nor the Republican Party ever pay anyone for endorsing them and their policies?
“Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted!” he added.
Oprah previously said she “was not paid a dime” to appear alongside Harris, whose campaign covered $1 million in production costs for a live-streamed event.
“The people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story,” Oprah said at the time.
The Harris campaign also has denied ever paying Beyonce for her endorsement.
The campaign similarly paid her production company Parkwood Production Media LLC $165,000, according to Federal Elections Commission records. Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles previously said the accusation that her daughter was paid for her endorsement is a “lie” and that Beyonce also paid for the flights for herself and her team to and from the event.
I am far more inclined to believe Oprah than anything that comes out of Trump's mouth, who is by far the worst, most abundantly proven pathological liar of any President in history!
I wrote about it on the Epstein thread.
