Why does the media continue to sanewash Trump? From CNN: > **[Live updates: Trump says ceasefire ends Wednesday evening and a further...](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/20/world/live-news/iran-war-us-trump-israel)** > > Vice President JD Vance and top US officials are expected to depart tomorrow for Islamabad, but there are mixed signals on attendance from Iran. Meanwhile, oil prices rose sharply as the Strait of Hormuz remains essentially closed. Follow live news... Headline: “The president says he expects fighting to resume if there’s no deal as a second round of talks remains uncertain” There is no “fighting”. There is bombing, and missile attacks, and a threat to eliminate Iran’s entire civilization. This is not a war. There is no “fighting”. There is the US deciding unilaterally to bomb and kill. ---

But reading from the beginning sounds at least respectable (to me). I suppose it might take a little bit of acculturation before one learns to not _immediately_ respond four thousand posts later.

Spirit Airlines, the ultra-low-cost airline which has been in financial dire straits for years, has gone through several failed attempts at mergers, and has filed for bankruptcy twice in the last two years, is apparently going to be given a $500 million bailout by the Trump administration. Republicans as well as Democrats have been criticizing the idea, given Spirit’s enduring financial issues, but if this goes through, it would give the government a controlling stake in the airline. I will bet you a dime that the next step would be rebranding it as Trump Airlines.
