Shit, kids these days have much worse than we did in my day. I ain’t gonna be one of those adults bitching about how hard it was “back then”. Fuck that.

The point is to bluster and appeal to his base. It’s also ego - taking on the House of Mouse must mean a lot to RDS’s testicles.

Addendum (this is from nine days ago); I think RDS is taking on more than he can chew.

According to Baier’s current and former colleagues, he stands very much alone at Fox News — which has been pushed even farther to the right since the outset of the Trump years. Anchor Shepard Smith left Fox News in 2019 after primetime star Tucker Carlson targeted him on the air and the network did not publicly defend him. Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace departed and two commentators who frequently appeared on Baier’s show resigned in late 2021 after Carlson’s avid defense of people who participated in the violent attack on the U.S. Congress in January 2021.

I’ve gotten to the point with America where I feel that the abuse of power is the point. There is no pretense of aspiring to be a leader or be just. These people who so nakedly hold power and grab it have no interest in pretending that they care about us or their own souls. He is awful. He is harmful. And yet, there will be no change, because the awful people are in charge.

They want to defund our libraries, but just in the last couple of years, we voted (in our little, mostly rural, very red town) that we wanted to fund a bond issue so we could have our own library branch. People, mostly republicans, voted to raise our own taxes so we could have a library. And, they want to take it away, I’m just sick and sad about it.
