He will control at least half of the media messages in this country.

It is not possible to ignore an entire political Party.

The lies must be challenged and addressed.

Anyone who watches CPAC is either getting paid to, is an attendee (Nazi), or a serious political junkie.

he's marginalized...and the media regards him not so much as a former president but as an exiled crazed despot plotting his big comeback ...and every time one of his loyal sycophants..Graham, McCarthy, Greene...make the journey to kiss the ring (ass) the press covers it like its some kind of joke...

It prevents Trump from controlling the narrative. He effectively used Twitter to eclipse bad news for him over and over by saying something totally outrageous.

CPAC is a story worth covering, an ex President speaking publicly for the first time is a story. That will fade away in a week and it will go back to all negative stories about the investigations into him.

Don't worry, Biden is kicking ass, getting the Relief package passed is what voters will care about in 2 or 4 years.

He's also still dominating much of the conversation on DU. That's something we can clearly control, unlike the media.

I did a count last week on the first page of “latest threads”. Trump has 12 threads. President Biden had 3. To me that’s sad. I hope it flips big time.

I can handle an occasional mention of WHN and what's going on, as long as I don't have to watch hours of that shit every day.
