  1. Itā€™s hard to believe heā€™s the same age as Dolly, Bette, Liza and Cher and he looks awful and acts like an entitled asshole.

  2. Imagine seeing a production of A Christmas Carol with Trump as Scrooge, but replace Scroogeā€™s redemption in the third act with Trump being dragged to hell like Faust.

  5. Iā€™m pretty sure something can only meltdown once.Ā 

    This has been your daily dose of pedantry to distract from this never ending shit show.Ā 

  6. Notice how the media start using honest headlines when they’re threatened but play these “some critics think” games when it’s about other stuff.

  7. Itā€™s like every day will be his last day when you read the headlines. I hope the last day will be here sooner than what we can hope for.

  8. From the article:

    Trump has entered into the Christmas spirit of peace on earth and goodwill to all by threatening to terminate the TV networks that donā€™t praise him.

    ā€œIf network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% negative to President Donald J. Trumpā€¦ shouldnā€™t their very valuable Broadcast Licenses be terminated?ā€ Trump posted in the very early hours of Christmas Eve. He then answered his own question, ā€œI say, YES!ā€

    Trump has been emboldened to threaten networks after his hand-picked FCC chair, Brendan Carr, got involved to take Jimmy Kimmel of air for a week in September.

    CBS Newsā€™ new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, is reportedly the person behind the decision to pull a *60 Minutes* segment about CECOT prison.

    Sharyn Alfonsi, the reporter behind the spiked story on CECOT prison, said in a leaked memo, ā€œIf the standard for airing a story becomes, ā€˜the government must agree to be interviewedā€™, then the government effectively gains control over the *60 Minutes* broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state.ā€

  10. If the election were re run today. The scandal is that US voters are so brainwashed they would vote for him.

  11. Putting ā€œ79ā€ in there is either shade or a way to minimize his behavior. Associating his age with derangement helps soften the situation because many people will dismiss it as, ā€œoh, heā€™s just an old manā€ā€¦giving sane 79 year olds a bad name and exposing the utter hypocrisy that the same people who dragged Biden with, have.

    They dragged Joe Biden for filth for his age and he got so much hate for it. This lunatic is actually evil and people just shrug. Maddening.

  12. So government controlled speech. Where are all the Don’t Tread On Me people at? I know. Silent.

  13. You have Fox News and countless right wing bro podcasts like ā€” Nelk Boys. Be happy with that. Let us have one glimmer of hope – imbecile.

  14. Remember when Republicans lost their shit over Biden Admin people calling Facebook, asking them to take down misinformation about COVID? Pepperidge Farms remembersā€¦

  15. Headlines like that are incredibly common when him or his administration are involved and yet nothing happens and nothing changes. A sad state of affairs.

  16. Don’t say his age like that I was about to cryyyyyyy but in a good waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  17. It’s a petulant meltdown brought on by people not letting him be a dictator and tyrant. He’s essentially a “Make-A–Wish” child who happens to be in a position of ill begotten power.

  19. Itā€™s Christmas Eve. Ignore this idiot for the next 48 hours at the very least.

  20. This guy raped a pregnant teen. Had her killed. And threw the baby in the lake.

    Look it up

  21. Ben Sasse gets stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Seems to be a good dude who was fair. Trump, continues to skate by despite being emotionally and physically unhealthy. Life ain’t fair.

  22. Cant start a headline like that. Gave a bunch of people hope of a Christmas miracle

  25. What a disgusting, vile, excuse for a human being.

  26. At the same time he is sanctioning 5 European officials for being part of ā€œthe global censorship industryā€.

    You canā€™t make this shit up.

  29. His death will be celebrated by the world. There will be partying in the streets. He will be remembered as one of the worst human beings in recent times.

  31. Congress this is YOUR job start standing up to this guy. If needed remove him from the White House.

  32. I do wonder if we will see forced closings of networks next year. The way things are going, it would not surprise me.

  35. Happy holidays, america. Your president is doing an old man childish tantrum rant on tv.

  36. Okay, that’s expected, but can we all agree that “Deranged Yuletide Meltdown” is a beautiful choice of words.

  38. The end is nearā€¦ā€¦hopefully for him, and not us because of him.

  39. Can’t have those late night Comedians making jokes about people in power, they should be making jokes about Trans people and immigrants./s

  40. Free advice: If you donā€™t like the shows, DONā€™T WATCH THEM!

  41. All I want for Christmas is for the POTUS and “deranged” to not be synonymous with one another
