ABC, FOLDED, $15 million to Trump, cha-CHING!
CBS, FOLDED, $16 million to Trump, cha-CHING!
FOX NEWS, DOMINION, $787 million to Dominion, cha-CHING!
IF THIS GOES TO COURT, we're going to hear about Trump and Epstein and underaged girls 24/7. There will be a "discovery process."
Trump's looking at the Dominion settlement. Trump's looking at ABC and CBS just GIVING HIM a COMBINED TOTAL of $31 MILLION so that he'd stop stamping his tiny little feet and saying mean things about them in his social media echo chamber.
I can't predict if Murdoch will blink and cave, or if he would actually give Trump $20 BILLION simply because he "demanded" it.
I think Murdoch's attorneys might orchestrate a little irreparable damage in the midst of this shit show.
I could be wrong. Trump might just "win" again, with minimal effort. Just his big fucking mouth and a team of attorneys without morals or scruples, chasing ambulances for their 79 year old adjudicated rapist & convicted felon client.

(2,572 posts)... I think maybe Trump has more than met his match in Murdoch. Ol' Rupert wrote the book on fuckin' with people, and Trump is just a hors d'oeuvre. If Murdoch decides to sink his fangs into Trump's fat, pimply ass. it's all over but the crying cheering.
As much as I detest Murdoch, I would love to see him chop Chump into chum, though I doubt that even the sharks would eat such offal.

(19,888 posts)I've always seen Trump as a predator, led around by what his nose sniffs out.
Murdoch, on the other hand...they threw away an entire James Bond movie mythologizing Murdoch's evil media empire.

I guess they feel that they helped the republicans by falsifying, lying, cheating, stealing, and spouting outrages conspiracies that fake news is entitled.
Whose the boss, at this point in time it's Murdoch.

Either way, it's an old hat diversion for Trump.
