A real billionaire would have bought the rights and produced it themselves. See also The Expanse.

The real problem is with the people consuming the media. They would rather see the horse race polling than actual policies.

It all comes down to the political parties. Which is partly why our elections suck so much.

It would only work if they converted to a national vote, instead of state by state elections with individual ranked choice votes.

Then what is the media going to talk about for 6 months?

Surprised they didn’t settle like everybody else

It’s 2 years. Not permanent. Like his tax cuts to everybody expired after he left office. Except corporate tax cuts. Those were forever.

Or the end result will be worse for society.

Are you not entertained!

I think that’s fine, though. You don’t always need to see how the sausage is made. It’s only the fact they Trump is such an untrustworthy person that this is an issue. I trust Mamdani, though.

What good would have come from that? Trump would just go overboard with whatever fascist retaliation he can in order to compensate for his embarrassment.

I was thinking consultant for some shit corporation that she helped give tax breaks to while in office.

I’m sure it’s to go make more money being awful elsewhere.

Yeah, makes sense.

I had no idea they removed that. Dang.

It is an impractical standard. While I understand where you’re coming from, I think sometimes you need to allow people an opportunity to talk without every word being judged.

If the meeting is public, then it will never be a true conversation. It will be 2 people giving prepared statements in the form of a conversation.

Not every conversation needs to be public.

I guess I have no expectations for Trump to take anything positive away from this meeting.

But think in private he’s more likely to let Mamdani talk. In public it would just be a pissing contest for him.

I just don’t think that’s the purpose of them talking. It’s not meant to be a public fight between 2 people, which is what it would turn into.

I imagine Trump will possibly be more receptive to Mamdani’s comments in that private than in public.

Never heard of any of these. Carpenter Brut so far is fire.
