    Marxism has flooded the west. FBI gone corrupt. The country is lying on its face down in the gutter.

    Need I go on…

    You donkeys are helping all of this to happen, and it's quite insane after all these years that you are still pretending nothing has happened. The important part is not the money, but where it came from. If you still can add 2 and 2 together, you are basically sitting there cutting yourself with razorblades still claiming to have the time of your life.

    Are gulags what will make these people wake up… The danger of society is people with double standards. They sit there just like you see here, pretending everything is fine.

    There's also a fine line between disallowing "trading off a family name" and an injunction on family members to exercise most jobs.

    December 26, 2023 at 5:07 pm

    It's not really true, is it? There is no evidence at all that Hunter Biden did any sort of "influence peddling" after Joe Biden came into office. There isn't even any evidence he actively participated in any such scheme, illegal or legal, during his vice presidency.

    Chris Christie is the ultimate politician…he is surely right about Jared and ivanka, but it has absolutely nothing in common with hunter Biden. It’s really like comparing the blue whale to a grain of sand! The only possible link is that they might be in the same salty water.

    $2,000,000,000 for Jared from the saudis after four years of being the head of Middle East affairs and yet the Reich is flipping out over 1/100 as much that seven or eight people split? The trumps grifted billions and yet the Reich wing is still crying over hunters dic pics 😂

    If Hunter cared at all for his father, he would not go on trips with him, he eould not visit the White House and he would just plead guilty and take his punishment. Every day he spends with his father and out of prison is a few more votes lost in 2024.
    Hunter is pure poison and a bit of a sociopath.

    Hunter Biden is a waste of space, a spoiled brat that Joe seems hellbent of defending. And the media making excuses for him.

Nicolle and Aaron Sorkin: This is Trump’s ‘ultimate mind f***’

Published

on

By



Aaron Sorkin wasn’t planning to make another movie about Facebook — until he met a whistleblower whose story he felt compelled to tell. In an expansive conversation with Nicolle Wallace, the Oscar- and Emmy-winning writer and director discusses his new film, The Social Reckoning, and the extraordinary power Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook wield over nearly 3 billion people — and the costly decisions that have shaped the platform’s impact on our lives, our politics and our democracy.
A follow-up to 2010’s The Social Network, Sorkin’s new film examines Facebook in the age of Trump, telling the story of whistleblower Frances Haugen’s decision to expose internal documents detailing misinformation and potential harms, while exploring an older Zuckerberg confronting the consequences of the technology he created. Sorkin explains why he chose to release the film ahead of the midterm elections and why he believes there is still room for optimism — if we are willing to act.

Wallace and Sorkin explore Zuckerberg’s immense influence, the decisions surrounding Facebook on January 6, the people inside the company who knew what was happening and remained silent, and why Wallace sees Zuckerberg as “bubble wrapped from reality.” They discuss the complicated empathy the film invites audiences to feel for Zuckerberg — and how that empathy can coexist with accountability for decisions that affect billions. Sorkin also shares the story of Zuckerberg’s former consigliere and their falling out, his reaction to Jeremy Strong’s portrayal of Zuckerberg (whom Sorkin calls “the best American actor under 50 years old”), and Facebook’s efforts to obtain the film’s script before its release. He reveals how the filmmakers prepared for potential legal challenges, including the threat of a lawsuit.

The conversation also examines Trump’s relationship with Zuckerberg, the former president’s attacks on the media despite his apparent appetite for attention from credible news organizations, and the essential role investigative journalism plays in holding powerful people and institutions accountable. Wallace and Sorkin discuss why Congress and the law continue to lag behind rapidly advancing technology, the consequences of leaving that power unchecked, and why the stakes for democracy could hardly be higher.

And in a moment that connects Sorkin’s celebrated work across generations, the conversation turns to A Few Good Men, Hegseth’s “illegal order” and the enduring importance of questioning authority. Wallace, who was inspired by Allison Janney’s portrayal of White House Press Secretary C.J. Cregg on The West Wing to imagine a future for herself in the White House, joins Sorkin in reflecting on the responsibilities of the press, the dangers of unchecked power and the choices that define our political moment.

From Facebook’s influence over billions of lives to Trump, whistleblowers, investigative journalism and the future of American democracy, Sorkin’s message is clear: We need to take democracy more seriously.
