And start asking what the Saudis and David Ellison have on him. This mega merger and Trump sponsored hostile takeover of Paramount Skydance with Warner Discovery would give David Ellison and the Saudi oligarchs 95% control of our media and they will do anything in their power to squash any opposition to MAGA fascism. This is seriously scary AF and anyone who isn't outraged about this isn't paying attention. This would literally be the end of the free press - one of the principals the United States was founded on - as we know it.
It's also insane to think that the "government shouldn't interfere in the free market" capitalist people would be OK with this. This is the government and an extremely hostile foreign government at that, literally interfering in American capitalism. Mohammad Bin Salmon should be dragged before the Hague to explain this.

(3,376 posts)Corruption in the world's monied set is rampant, unfortunately, led by our President and until the powers that be, (i.e. Congress in the U.S.) clamp down on it, bribery, payoffs, influence peddling and out and out extortion, it will remain an integral part of their lifestyle. You can no longer implicitly trust anyone in the business community, political, retail, entertainment, sports even religion. You have to research and check every action and transaction.
