We've been dealing with this man for many years, he led us down the George W Bush hole to total disaster. Now he's leading us down the Donald Trump hole to more total disaster. we can keep repeating this cycle over and over or we can finally deal with the dangers of cable news brainwashing a huge percentage of Americans. Republicans gain power, destroy the economy and turn our foreign policy to Putin. It's what they are doing again right now. It will end very badly and the Democrats will have to fix it again! Fox viewers have turned the power over to the Republicans again....wait for the coming disaster. it never fails!

OK, so, let's go with the premise that "Rupert Murdoch's News Corp of eroding democracy in the US and Australia by dividing people and undermining institutions ..." may be true...

Of course, was that his intent?

Or was his intent more along the lines of sucking mucho $$$ out of gullible people who only want to hear what they wnt to hear???

"Intent" is the key. Otherwise, unfortunately, the Constitution has his back.

I do agree with DANNI. America's new Constitution is going to be a mirror image of Russian democracy.

And I think we can forget about any "normal" state ratification process.

And isn't the Senate voluntarily giving up their Constitutional responsibilities because they fear South African Elon Musk will fund primary challenges for any Republican who won't follow the orders of the Fuehrer and approve totally unwualified ideologues who state right up front that their goal will be to destroy the Dept, they are appointed to run. And kids, when bullies steal your lunch and push you arounddon't whine to the teacher; instead learn how to choke them out! Sure a few bullies will die but most of them won't grow up to be Donald Trump! does anyone doubt that Trump was a bully while in school whose character would probably improved if someone would have kicked his ass back then but you know how it is with rich kids; they pay other kids to do theit fighting for them and I'll guarantee Trump had a little entourage to protect him from heroes who hated bullies.
