The reality show presidency: "This is the true story of seven grifters picked to run a country and have their lives tweeted & streamed... to find out what happens when idiots stop being polite and start getting stupid." Welcome to... the MAGA World. (Dated ref, but we're all old folks here...) RE:
Much easier being a grifter than doing actual work, and much harder to have to do the actual work a job requires when the world isn't *actually* made up of the nonsense conspiracy theories you peddled for half a decade. But... RE:

The DOJ has decided to weigh in in support of the idea that the "Trusted News Initiative" (an effort set up by the BBC with other news orgs and social media co's to figure out how best to deal with disinfo)... might be an antitrust violation.
