Hold on, let me put on my Tom Face.

I can't decide if Trump is pumping and dumping the market on purpose to make lots of money or if he genuinely never planned for the market to react poorly to all of his decisions. I'm sure, regardless of Trump's intent, the people around him are printing insane amounts of cash as the market swings on his every whim. Vance will probably be a billionaire by the time his term is over.

Oh look, Trump is now violating the first amendment.

https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-413572A1.pdf

“More alarmingly, the company agreed to never-before-seen forms of government control over newsroom decisions and editorial judgment—actions that violate both the First Amendment and the law. A government-sanctioned ‘truth arbiter’ will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists at CBS do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. That should alarm anyone who values the core democratic principle of a free and independent press.

On the contrary, this is a government official using her government position to spread misinformation simply because she personally dislikes Trump.

Skydance has made written commitments to ensuring that the new company’s array of news and entertainment programming will embody a diversity of viewpoints across the political and ideological spectrum and that CBS’s reporting will be fair, unbiased, and fact-based.  To promote transparency and increased accountability, Skydance commits, for a period of at least two years, to have in place an ombudsman who will report to the President of New Paramount and evaluate complaints of bias.

are you sure it is not just because crime rates are actually on the rise and police have been fudging the numbers?

https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/dc-police-commander-suspended-crime-statistics/3959566/

So Trump is using allegedly bad data to determine what to do in DC.  Doesn't that mean it's worse than he thought and he still wants to take over?

Also, why order all homeless people out?  Homeless was isn't illegal.

i think we have different interpretations of what "take over" means.

Actually, Trumpians use the phrase, "take over."

Here's a direct quote from Trump. He's is just making shit up.
"Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people,"

He said the same shit about my town during the George Floyd riots. Understand that he has no connection to reality and has no clue what he's talking about. He's pushing his dystopia bullshit as an excuse to expand government and solidify its power in the Executive branch. 

Also, why order all homeless people out?  Homeless was isn't illegal.
it should be. i don't like looking at it.

Actually, homelessness should be made illegal. Not because it pisses off Juner, that's just a bonus. It should be illegal because it's not safe for these people to live in the streets. If I want to stand on the street corner and collect money to help the homeless, I have to get permits from the city, there are only certain places it would be allowed. But, if I claim to be homeless, I can stand there and collect all the tax free cash I can get? This is wrong. Begging for money should be illegal.

The reason begging and street living is not generally illegal is because we have no answer, no place for them. There will always be some people, who for whatever reason, cannot create enough value to sustain themselves in the world. Maybe, they're lazy, addicted to drugs or psychologically damaged from trauma serving in a Middle Eastern war, whatever, they can't make it in society. We have absolutely no accommodation for this part of our population.

We should subsidize low cost, tiny house farms where they could live safely and juner wouldn't have to look at them.

Shooting them is cheaper.  One bullet then just drag en to a pit and burn them with gasoline.  Maybe what.. $50-$100 plus manpower to remove hundreds?

Dude! Don't even joke about that.
If the Trumpians hear this and realize that homeless people are a potential source of protein, they could get even more sick, stupid ideas.

It's disinformation because an ombudsman has no legal power whatsoever inside a company.

"the company agreed to never-before-seen forms of government control over newsroom decisions and editorial judgment"

This is simply not true at all. The government still can't control anything CBS does. You can make the claim "well they just won't use legal means to do it, it's quid-pro-quo under the table!" Well, if that were the case, then they don't need an ombudsman at all. You might as well tell me Trump already does that with all media companies.
