Interesting through-line in today's newsletter -- mentally incompetent folks causing problems for their political parties. The difference? Dems are actively discussing DiFi's issues but no Republicans are willing to discuss the incompetence of TFG. (BTW, if Fox settles, Trump will go insane when all of their shows have to run extensive "we lied about election fraud in 2020" apologies over several days on all of their major shows!)

It takes two to settle. Dominion has come this far. It is doing a great service to America and democracy and the Constitution, at great expense to itself. Hopefully Dominion will not settle! There will probably never be a better case to address where press freedom ends and true freedom begins.

He seems insane already. That bleat was kooky.

I love your post and like your analysis of the "through-line", but have to point out that if TFG is one of the "mentally incompetent folks" in the first two sentences, then he already is "insane") if those air apologies are required. Or are you drawing a distinction between "insane" and merely mentally incompetent?

I would say he is mentally unfit for the job he is seeking.

The folks from Duty to Warn, who produced the documentary "Unfit" about the orange man in 2020, will be releasing a new one titled "Untruth" in the next few months.

I hope they wait for the outcome of the Dominion/Fox saga. With apologies to the NYT, All the Truth that's (Un)fit to Film....

BTW, Trump will go FURTHER insane. The GOP never discusses trump's mental incompetence except in private.

Yes I would love to see the public apologies for lying, but you also know FOX will play the victim of "George Soros backed woke" Dominion.

I have a feeling that Dominion will work that into the settlement agreement. "You may not later weasel out of the apology in any way, shape or form. If you do so, we get another Billion."

On second thought, make that $5B plus you have to run the same apology notices on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, ESPN, HSN, SYFY, HGTV, TNT, AMC and TCM.
