    So CBS is likely going to settle a lawsuit filed by Trump because they need approval for a merger and that approval comes from an agency overseen by Trump.

    By any reasonable standard, that’s extortion, and a crime.

    We live in such a foul and loathsome timeline.

        More broadly, it’s how civilizations die.

        Essentially, all of the scumbags are coming out of the woodwork to loot the civilization - getting theirs while the getting is good.

        It’s all downhill from here.
