    If people working for CNN have any shred of dignity, they should escalate against the threat. Make a dossier about the guy. Containing only well-sourced, factual information, that paints an accurate portrait of Trump as a criminal. It should contain all things he considers uncomfortable:

    • the fact that not even committing war crimes prevented him from humiliatingly lose the war
    • his links to Epstein, Putin, and other personae non gratae out there
    • the “tiny dick” controversy; or, how Trump gets real pissed when called so, and potential psychological reasons such as denial
    • “grab her by the pussy” and other quotes associated with sex offenders

    Give it a catch title. And make it fully public; no paywalls, no copyright, nothing. Defending the survival of your trade is more important than profiting a few buckets from it.

    Make that muppet think twice before vomiting his “art of the deal” = i.e. “Imma goin to threat evurrone hurr!”

        Doubly so in this case; even as vassals of that idiot they’re getting threatened, this means they shouldn’t be playing as vassals at all, for the best of their own interests.

      WTF does it matter what the truth is? The SC doesn’t. Trump doesn’t. The Justice Department doesn’t. Republicans don’t. If you’re only fighting with facts, you’re probably losing. Using facts assumes the system values truth.

        Using facts assumes the system values truth.

        No such assumption is being made. I’m fully aware “the system” you’re talking about (the institutions of some maize dictatorship) give no flying fucks about the truth. However, anyone with a shred of dignity does.

        So it’s easier to claim higher moral ground and gather support when speaking the truth. And from people who can actually change something; post-modernist “chruth is relarive lol” and “it’s all a narrarive lmao” braindead muppets are delusional dead weight, they can’t do shit properly.

        The truth also allows you to dig up more shit later on. Bullshit, assumptions and lies only go so far.

        Plus it isn’t like you need to make shit up about Trump to portrait him as… well, a delusional sociopath, meat puppet of whoever praises him, easy to manipulate due to his small brain and big ego.
