Good. Hopefully, someone, or some entity, that is actually creative, will buy this iconic, legendary studio.

It deserves better than it has gotten from decades of corporate overlords.

This is a perfect visual metaphor for what he is doing to the country.

This is insane.

"Yes, yes, it *is* sad that you lost the family farm, but have you heard about the big beautiful ballroom that President Trump is building at the White House? It's going cost a quarter of a billion dollars! Yes, billion, with a b. ... What? ... No, you can't come see it. What a stupid question."

You'd think he would have learned by now that he can't manipulate the rest of the world the way he manipulates here.

They don't bend to his lies and dictates.

one of those east coast media bias stories. if new jersey shut down 95 after the military wanted to fire artillery over the highway despite safety concerns from the governor and then some of it accidentally blew up, i think it'd be a bigger story.
