Marc Elias: CNN is hopelessly broken.

Marc Elias
‪@marcelias.bsky.social‬
CNN is hopelessly broken.

1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law.
2. It would violate several treaties.
3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

The America the Framers envisioned and created is dead. Sorry Ben Franklin, we couldn't keep it.

Hell no we aren't.
Amazing how easily online folks declare the end having never fought for it beyond a keyboard.

and in particular anyone there calling themselves journalists or high school graduates, even.

It is scary to have a major network lending credulity to these ridiculous ambitions much less comparing them to a major success in US history. Bad enough that anyone believes that, but worse it will embolden Trump. We need to make sure the country and the world not only push back, but ridicule him for such ideas.

We are in the fight of our lives. You don't give up when EVERYTHING depends on it. You figure out how to win.

I cut the cable cord last month. Saving $138/ month. Fed up with cable news. Got an interior antenna and not even watching OTA programs. And I'm feeling good!

I quit with tv well over a decade ago.

Don't stress over what you don't have the power to change.

because I wasn't worried as much about Donnie Dipshit joining with Putin to destroy NATO, as I was about NATO joining together to destroy what America has become.

That makes fascism democratic.

We are all about to fund out it isn't.
