As always, you completely missed the point. Whether the merger is “good” or “bad” isn’t the point at all. Donny campaigned against it, due to his hatred of the fact that CNN told the truth about his lies, incompetence, and unfitness for the presidency. No one in their right mind can argue they weren’t telling the truth. Sessions brought the case to please Donny. It was obviously a weak case, as the judge allowed the merger to proceed with no strings attached. Donny’s argument that it put too much power in the hands of too few is laughable. That’s exactly what Donny is all about!

Or the judge ruling was based on Donny.

Oh, I think I get the point. You're cheering for further consolidation and an increasingly consumer unfriendly internet / content industry just because, in this case, Trump gets poked in the eye.

No one in their right mind should be cheering for that result, even if it allows them to score some cheap points in a political forum. But of course, you're not in your right mind.

Hope you enjoy fewer choices and a fatter cable bill, though.

Haven’t had cable in 30+ years, but thanks for your concern!

You’re as clueless as they come, ever loyal to your Dear Leader. Sad!

But hey, you want to push the fake news that this is all about Trump. You go right ahead.
Needless to say, you fail to recognize the difference between legislators and candidates voicing opinions on an issue and a president commenting on something under review by his own Justice Department.

BS. One of those Senators I mentioned sat on the Commerce Committee as a ranking member of the Telecom and Internet Subcommittee. In that capacity, he has quite a bit more impact.

"Needless to say", you continue to speak out your bung hole.

DJTs petty vengeance feuding aside, I'm not crazy about this consolidation of media delivery without constraints.

In your (delusional) mind, the president and a ranking Democratic member of a Congressional subcommittee are equivalent in terms of being able to influence Trump's Justice Department review of a merger/acquisition. Your sycophancy and gullibility have no bounds.

Well, there's at least one adult - level response. And we just found something we agree one.

Amazing.

Where the DOJ fails in its court case, the Senate Commerce Committee can certainly influence rule-making. Its a concept called co-equal branches of government. Surely you might have heard of it at some point.
