In reply to the discussion: Musk's PAC launches $1 million TV ad buy touting Trump's first 6 weeks in office [View all]BumRushDaShow

When broadcast media was deregulated in the '90s, that was the beginning of the end. Citizen's United finished it all off.
CSPAN will cover the pressers but then who watches CSPAN (whether on TV or stream) but those of us who are CSPAN junkies?
We spend our money on HELPING the people who get HURT by the GOP (with food, clothing, shelter, medical care, counseling, legal services, financial assistance, educational services, etc., ). The GOP uses everyone ELSE'S money to HURT people.
The people who gravitate towards the GOP are those who are perpetually angry and have a grudge and the GOP gladly recruits them and will appeal to them because they give them someone to take out their frustrations on.

Muskovite learned from last year's illegal offer. This one is now just investment in the US govt as his cash cow

Pitiful. In the courts, rule of men will keep pitting its wealth against rule of law.
