Rupert Murdoch tells Trump to STFU about 2020

In the past 10 months, if you’ve had the unfortunate chance to turn on a TV, log into the Internet, or open a newspaper, you probably know that Donald Trump is pathologically incapable of admitting that he has lost the election Joe Biden and moving on to the events of November 2020. “This is just the beginning of the irregularities,” he says claimed at a meeting in July where he insisted a mock audit would prove he had really won. “We’re not talking about Arizona anymore. We are talking about the United States of America.” “Attached is a report of 43,000 votes counted in DeKalb County absences that violated the Chain of Custody rules, rendering them invalid,” he said. wrote in a letter to the Secretary of State of Georgia Brad Raffensperger in September, encouraging him to “start the process of decertifying the election”. The whole thing is obviously ridiculous and absurd and apparently it’s not just Democrats and bright individuals who want him to shut up about the whole thing, they used to be good friends too.

For example, an Rupert Murdoch. Per Insider:

In rare public comments, the executive chairman of News Corp. Rupert Murdoch told shareholders on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump is not contributing to conservatism in public debate.

Murdoch, who was the chairman and CEO of News Corp. from 1980 to 2013. Trump dropped name during his remarks at the company’s annual meeting. “The current US political debate is profound, whether it be on education, welfare or economic opportunity,” Murdoch . said New York Times news reporter Maggie Haberman. “It’s critical that conservatives play an active, powerful role in that debate, but that won’t happen if President Trump remains focused on the past,” he continued. “The past is the past, and the country is now in a competition to define the future.”

While Fox News effectively served as state TV during Trump’s tenure, Murdoch and the ex-president got into a fight after the underage billionaire reportedly gave the network the go-ahead to call Arizona for Biden on election night, apparently his son. talking about Trump, “Fk him.”

Sure, it’s a little rich for Murdoch to criticize someone else for smuggling lies and bullshit. While Fox has largely avoided Trump’s electoral fraud claims of late, and walked an entire segment in February that debunks the claims made on the air probably has more to do with the “barking legal threat” from the voice tech company Smartmatic, which later sued the network for $2.7 billion, than a sudden conscience to win. (Dominion Voting Systems has also sued Fox News in a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit for voting machine fraud.) Meanwhile, the prime-time star is Tucker Carlson spent the first part of this month promoting a fact-free “documentary,” broadcast on Fox Nation, which argues that the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, instigated by Trump and carried out by his electoral truth supporters, was a “false flag” operation orchestrated by federal officials.

House votes to censor Paul Gosar, strip him of committee duties

Normal people would see this as a reasonable, albeit mild, outcome for creating and tweeting an animated video of him slitting a colleague’s neck. Per The Washington Post:

The vote of 223 to 207, attended by one member, marks the first time in more than a decade that the House has reprimanded one of its members…. A disapproval is less severe than expulsion from the House, but more serious than a reprimand . Shortly after Wednesday’s vote, Gosar stood in the “pit” of the Chamber of the House as House Speaker Nancy Pelosic (D-Calif.) read aloud the resolution of the disapproval and a verbal reprimand.

Wednesday’s House vote comes just over a week after Gosar shared a 90-second clip that appears to be an altered version of the opening titles of the Japanese animated series. Attack on Titan. The show revolves around a hero who sets out to destroy the Titans, gigantic creatures that have devoured almost all of human civilization. “Are there any anime fans out there?” Gosar said in the tweet where he shared a link to the modified video. In one scene of the video, [Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez‘s face has been edited over one of the Titans’ faces. Gosar flies into the sky and cuts the Titan in the back of the neck and kills him. In another scene, Gosar swings two swords at an enemy whose face has been replaced by Biden’s.
