Grr

the face of nepo fascist plague tinged rat excrement.

Gavin is just Reagan 2.0

Go ahead. See how you like living anywhere else.

But as I understand it, they got nothing by the way of their antitrust goals; he just used it to get some $$ out of them. Sound like someone else we know?

I still expect lawsuits in the future. Because I don't see this merger lasting.

You describing their failure doesn't make it not a failure ...

Honestly, saying they failed gives them too much credit. The old guard Democrats held the only line they care about: protecting the oligarchy.

Democrats never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. 

Maybe President Ossoff or AOC will break up this monstrosity in 2029.

I had no idea about this. Thanks for giving visibility. Damn.

I don't believe this is a result of incompetence. Given how much AIPAC and Russian money is corrupting politicians, there is no doubt that some of the Dems are as bought as all of the GOPs.

"Jobs jobs jobs" he said, while actively pushing for a mass layoff event I hate this toad so much

I don't like the word "settlement" it reeks of appeasement.

So my reason to have hope for the future just keeps getting worse I see. Any chance something could still block it or the media landscape will just get worse?

The plan all along… a recipe to boost his approval but with the usual ending. This will harm everyone.

How I despise Newsom. Also, I hope all of the transphobe bums who were singing his praises 6 months ago are eating shit right now.

No they will be busy posting memes making fun of trump.

I think that they'll fire everyone in the combined conglomerate, hike prices, destroy everything there and not manage to pay all this debt.

2039!! Where did the money go? "The California High-Speed Rail project has morphed into a massive infrastructure fiasco, facing ballooning costs up to $231 billion, severe delays pushing completion toward 2039, and a looming cash crunch by 2027." Wait until the "real" budget numbers come out.

exactly what AT&T did when they acquired WB.

WTF Newsom?

My hope is he can be found in his private residence where he lives the rest of his days, eventually ignored utterly. slimy weasel.

Guess Newsom's proverbial "hat in the ring" just got tossed.

bsky.app/profile/airb...

And don't forget he just tried to push through Praxis' Network State, California Forever, in Solano county by canceling any environmental regulations. He's a weasel. A rich weasel.

Anyone who can't decide that they can live without these products is deciding instead that they can live without their rights. Boycott the shit out of them. All of it. Ruin them.

Yeah fuck newsom

Slimy Gavin strikes again always pretending he is fighting for the people while secretly bending the knee to his masters oligarchs, he is so gross

Correct. I had forgotten. At the time expecting major changes. 👍🏼

Yet ANOTHER reason not to encourage Newsom;s political agenda!

All the more reason to criticize this cretin

Welp, guess he got his

@governor.ca.gov will always do whatever (fascist, crypto bro) well monied special interest donor gives him the largest 💰. He’s “the left’s” con artist extraordinaire.

No one likes him anyway, but I hope this ends Newsom's political aspirations.

Gavin newsom would be a conservative republican in like 47 states

You are defending the scum of the earth and you deserve the world we get if he becomes president

Hey moron, it’s Rob Bonta the Attorney General, who’s in charge of that negotiation not Newsom. Get your head out of your ass before you post stupid shit. Go out and touch some grass while you’re at it.

Rich keep getting richer.

Of course he was. He is a shit human and I will never vote for him.

Fuck

UGH

It was the people , all of us who go to movies, watch t.v. shows, subscribe to streaming services & buy the related products, that made these giant corporations what they have become- monopolies. We gave them power. We can take that power back. Unsubscribe. Seek out legit indie media.

gavin desantis

So Little Karl? Who has probably never stepped foot in CA? Not sure you're up to speed on this one tiger. Let's not forget it was CA that led the initial lawsuit, right? This was going to happen either way but now there's at least some protections. Read a headline and scream, right sweet pea? Lame.

Gavin Newsom is John Fetterman in better clothes.

Fuck you gavin Newsom! You just cooked WB handed to the fascists. I hear Rob bonta talking but all it sounds like is bla bla bla. I won’t vote for you ever.

Longer than that. He's been a jerk since October 10, 1967.

There's a difference between dealmaking & extortion. IMO this deal entails the latter. There's already great evidence of the damage they'll cause the industry. I see it clearly with them all the time, some very subtle. Then there's de-balling "60 Minutes" & everyone's seeing that!! #Rupe2pt0

He’s scum. Wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him.

Damn movie villains

How! TF did this happen? Where was the pushback? WTH?? We'll have to pay for everything! Watch and listen to what THEY tell us we can. How? What happened to anti-trust and 39% of US TV households??? There are laws! aren't there?? 🤷🏼‍♀️

What???

Dumbfuck thinks these right wing oligarch bros are gonna finance his campaign over the republican nominee.

Newsom’s father-in-law worked for Larry Ellison at Oracle before he left to found Siebel Systems.

Yo tambien!

Noted!

Honestly if he is the nominee, I'm done with electoral politics and switching to how Uncle Sam trained me to deal with shit.

I mean this with no hyperbole that Gavin Newsome is one of the most detestable people alive and if the Democrats back him as a presidential candidate they deserve everything that's coming to them

I can’t wait to see him lose All of the dem primaries before Super Tuesday

I think the threat that Paramount was going to leave the State called Newsome’s bluff.

How much kick-back has he got from that deal?

Looking at your post history, you've posted three times and twice it was to defend a Nazi Think on that a while

WTF was Newsom thinking?! A huge disappointment! Looks like I’ll be looking for another 2028 candidate!

Fuck that coward.

Democrats always end knee to Zionists.

My first reaction was, geez, I thought Newsom wanted to be president! This most certainly won't help!

Elect people who promise to break these mega corporations up! This is insane and shame on all of those who caved. The next crap people are done with! Vote out every corporate hack! Power to the people!

This was an opportunity to honor the people's wishes. The majority do not want this merger. This is exactly the type of bullshit people are tired of. Caving to corporate fascism! Elizabeth Warren wants to break them all up and make them pay their fair share. It's past time for that! VOTE THEM OUT!

$300M a year in movie production, Ellison would be signing his own bankruptcy papers.

Sorry, *independent editorial board*

Was the information about 50% foreign investment correct?

Everyone wanting their hands in the pie while acrewing the public

Another reason Newsom can never be president.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social Hoping all you fucking hair falls out, you useless frigging Ken Doll #CorpWhore

Lol, of course Gavin would do that.

The least they could’ve done was to just sit on their hands til the trial and bleed the Ellisons for $7 million/day. The Dems couldn’t even do that. Hopefully they were well reimbursed for this humiliating charade.

Grrrrrrrr....

Of course he was.

This can never happen. Constitutional violation and concentration and control of media

The lawsuits would not have stopped the merger. Reducing the players by one wouldn’t make a monopoly. And if they did run to TN that would be pretty devastating to Los Angeles. It’s a shitty but probably the best. Tho the whole thing is going to implode within this time frame. Too much debt.

this is so bad

so does "settle" mean Paramount gets to do whatever it wants?

#nevergavin

But not all the blue-collar people that work in the industry.

Then they can go fuck themselves, the worthless class traitors.

This is going to be devastating for the working class film/TV industry folks here. My friends, my neighbors. Even if they don’t work for Paramount or WB, layoffs on this scale will affect everyone here.

Well, Newsom is a selfish man, after all...

This is why I will never trust that guy. When he threw trans people under the bus, it settled it for me.

Fuck Gavin Newsom. Just a Trump in Democrat clothing.

Newsome, the current governor of California AND Becerra, the future governor of California While I'm still voting for him over some Republican fascist, know that THIS is where the Democratic leadership is, and how the next two years will play out IF we retake Congress. I.E. not much

😒

That's disappointing

There is literally nothing praiseworthy about Gavin.

He is money and power. Of course he sides with them over us.

Christ, what a turd.

The tech billionaires continue to strangle market competition, as intended. Consumers lose, propaganda wins. Going to be a sad irony when the Ellison's move Paramount/Warner out of California in spite of the capitulation from the AG and Newsom...after laying off thousands.

Fuck the Democratic Party! Where is the party wide condemnation? Where is the fury at this collaboration? 

Yeah Newsom has no chance making it out of the primaries and I think he knows that

So not only do you know nothing about this issue, and nothing about Newsom (because you clearly don't live in CA), you're going to whine because...why? If I gave enough of a shit to look at your posts that's ALL I'd see right? Uninformed fee fees? To be seen, uh, "fighting" by losers? Lame dude.

this *should* have a measurable effect on how many liberals i have to argue with about how much of a shit Newsom is but honestly if they were still on the train after his first few podcast episodes they probably ain't getting off now, either.

And come November we CA residents have no choice but to reelect this coward. 

Weak on the part of the AGs

His efforts to protect California’s voting systems are entirely self-serving.

@karlbode.com With eyes on the White House, he chose deep pocketed tech bros over his constituents. Out of office in January, one would hope for a more foul description than lame duck governor.

I guess I wrote this just now…

He better be FINISHED

Fancy seeing you here at the scene of the crime once again, Gavi boy 🙄

Gavin Newscum official

The top Dems are captured, but they can be pressured. Popularism on the Right led to fascist Trump. Popularism on the Left should lead to free health care, more money to education versus the military and gun reform. It’s all about priorities.
