Brian Kilmede.....Trump sack rider extraordinaire

Co-host Lawrence Jones said taxpayers have given “billions of dollars to mental health and the homeless population,” but “a lot of them don’t want to take the programs, a lot of them don’t want to get the help that is necessary.”

“You can’t give them a choice,” Jones continued. “Either you take the resources that we’re going to give you … or you decide that you are going to be locked up in jail. That’s the way it has to be now.”

That’s what prompted Kilmeade to add, “Or involuntary lethal injection or something. Just kill ‘em.”

This is TOTALLY ok to the Trumpkins...lol, you can't make this shit up.
 
Meanwhile, the Pedo in Chief is floating the idea of rolling back quarterly financial reporting for public companies and it's no big deal? That way his corrupt crypto MAGAts have more room for fraud is the advantage?

Of course this is just a footnote to the grift of selling prohibited AI chips to the UAE after doing a $2BB World Liberty Financial crypto deal with Binance. Yes, that's the Binance, whose founder has applied for a tRUMP pardon.

I have mixed feelings about this. One of the stated reasons for doing this is move the focus from short term results at the expense of long term strategy within companies. I worked for several public companies and can attest that this is a real thing. As a middle manager, I had multiple levels of bosses coming at me around quarterly reporting time to pump up my numbers.

Also, this matters less and less over the years, as there are are fewer and fewer public companies. We're down to fewer than 4,000 from a high of 8,800 in 1997. IPOs are also way down. https://www.forbes.com/sites/wesmos...s-to-choose-from-what-it-means-for-investors/

It's disturbing. There are too many things that make these news and entertainment outlets vulnerable. If they're part of a big diversified conglomeration, the govt has multiple levers available to put pressure on them - regulatory pressure like holding up M&A, FCC fines, etc. Media from the other side can gin up outrage and call for boycotts, deep pocketed govt can outright sue for libel, valid or not. On the plus side, it might result in the rise of alternative media that isn't beholden to some of this crap. One of the problems with that is that it's difficult and expensive to produce news and hard for consumers to figure out what sources are dependable. Also, smaller outlets don't have the resources to defend themselves and are vulnerable to getting sued out of existence.
