[Kingofalldems]

What's up with this? Will he be able to swing the Trump saps over to DeSantis?

2. Murdoch crew tryna play it both ways, wont work. Cucker Tarlson and Insanity need to go

3. Sure, but it gets relegated to pages 8-9 of that rag.

Meanwhile some bullshit Hunter Biden piece gets the front page treatment.

Not that I care--the NY Post isn't worth the bird shit that lands on it.

4. The heavy players want him down & out now

He's making them all look bad.

Much easier to turn to someone like DeSantis, who btw has been doing a happy dance since yesterday.

5. His "new stance" probably has to do with the

Dominion lawsuit.

As scripted as a pro wrestling "feud." If the former guy gets the nomination in 2024, Murdoch and his media empire will have a liplock on his doughy ass faster than you can say "Jack Robinson" or "Classy Freddie Blassie."

7. If that gets the republicans to leave the cult, then I will cheer that on.

But knowing that they are a cult, I doubt it will have much effect.

8. Desantis is the chosen one.

9. The New York Post stopped short of the insurrection

Dec 28, 2020:

The New York Post, which until a few months ago had supported Donald Trump, reversed its position on Sunday in a scathing editorial that called the outgoing US president “insane” and a “tragic King Lear figure” and implored him to end the “dark charade” of attacking a legitimate, democratic election.

The Trump-leaning, Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper asked Mr Trump to focus on the Georgia runoff elections on 5 January that will decide which of the two parties will control the senate, instead of destroying his own presidential legacy through his “obsession” with overturning the election result.

“We understand, Mr President, that you’re angry that you lost. But to continue down this road is ruinous. We offer this as a newspaper that endorsed you, that supported you,” the editorial said.

It slammed Mr Trump for obsessing over 6 January “when Congress will, in a pro forma action, certify the Electoral College vote” and said he has been “cheering for an undemocratic coup.”

They know Trump was already held in low regard in New York City. They didn't want to tie themselves to an attempted coup. I give them some points for saying "coup" before it happened.

10. Legacy

What's his legacy? All I can see is hundred of thousands of Americans dead because he called COVID a hoax. Probably lots of us would have died, but not one million.
