Soooooo
The right-wing reporters realize he means them too, right?
Eventually, you slip up and lose favor with the GröpenFührer then, out the window you go.
They realize that. Right?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Of course they don't. He hates the people they hate. And when he hates them, they'll hate themselves, too.
They'll never lose favor, only the other will.
Something something… leopards.. faces…
Forget about the nominally right wing media, look at how the NY Times have covered every threat to democracy, ever. From Hitler to the business plot to Trump.
This is the mistake people always make with an autocrat. They the think they’ll be allowed to keep or amass the power the have, but only one person is allowed power in an autocratic regime.
This dude is only becoming more of a nightmare the closer we get to election day
just wait until you see what he's like after election day!
True. Doesn't matter if he wins or loses. He'll claim he won no matter the results and he'll be equally crazy.
and he’ll be equally crazy.
Equally? That seems optimistic. He'll go even farther off the deep end. Even if he wins, he'll contest it, because he clearly should have won by a larger margin.
Go to jail you orange turd.
Unfortunately that profile in courage Jeff Bezos is more concerned about Trump potentially messing with his government contracts than threatening to have Washington Post reporters killed.
Trump's backers, and especially Peter Thiel, whom JD Vance is an avatar for (Thiel put forward Vance as VP to Trump, and had sponsored Vance's entire political career, which is only two years old), all read Curtis Yarvin.
Yarvin is Silicon Valley's chosen "philosopher" - he advocates for the end of democracy and a return to monarchy, with billionaires as royalty and monarchs.
You don't get to where he is by caring about other people.
Stop giving Bezos the benefit of the doubt. There is no evidence that he's doing shit in Trump's favor for any reason other than that he likes fascism and wants to support it.
I actually always believed that Bezos was a Democrat, given his ownership of the Post, which has always had a clear anti-Trump message. I think it’s more plausible that he was scared of retaliation or that the GOP has something on him.
That's a fair argument. It's very circumstantial and not enough to convince me, though, especially if the Post was liberal before he bought it and it simply remained so through his inaction (which I believe to be the case -- correct me if I'm wrong!). The rebuttal to "he must be liberal: he owns a liberal newspaper" is "yeah, but the first time he intervened in it, it was to force it to be more conservative."
"There is no evidence that Bezos favors Trump. Apart from the fact that Bezos favors what Trump supports."
My brother in Christ, do you read what you write?
Do you? Because the first half of your misquote was exactly the opposite of what I actually said.
you misread their comment
Believe people when they show you what they really are.
It really sucks that everybody voting for trump is not your friend, even if you think they are. It's just too many people for that to happen to.
