A miracle startup of a moderate 3rd party with massive support.

For the corporate giants that is Rupert Murdoch to say the following or something to the gist of the following:
"Shame on me for selling off most of the Fox Empire, for the USDOJ permitting this semi-monopoly, and for Disney for buying most of Fox. 1000s of lay-offs were not worth it. Uncle Walt and film producer William Fox, the man who built the very empire that I helped dismantle, would not approve of this merger.

We could have partnered with Disney to use the F4 and X-Men. If I had a time machine, I would have never come up with such an idea: destroying most of Fox as we knew it.

Over a century of film-making heritage now gone and I am a big contributor to that! I should have controlled only the current News Corp and not 21st Century Fox at the same time during the pending stages of the acquisition! To reference 1915 silent Fox movie with Theda Bara, a fool there was, er, is, and that fool is me!"

It is somewhat political in the sense that Murdoch would be realizing how foolish it was for a government agency to approve of the merger!

What do I want for Christmas politically? Well I'd like to see people being treated as human beings instead of tribal votes. I'd love to see a return to the rule of law on both sides, and honesty. Most of all I'd love to see our elected officials honor their oath of office and put country first. Corruption should never be tolerated by we the people in our elected officials.

As a film buff I find this interesting, why do you think a century of movie heritage is gone

Bingo, except I believe these Christmas gifts will come in 2021 and 2022 and in the form of Ginsburg and Thomas.

I don't care of people who are guilty of criminal activity are prosecuted. What I do care about is that the IG report comes out and gets Barr's ****ty spin like he did with the Mueller report. He can make it say whatever he wants to obviously.

I would wish for ALL the age 70+ candidates (and potential candidates) and current POTUS and VP to suddenly announce their immediate retirement from politics. That means Trump, Pence, Warren, Sanders, Biden, HRC, and all the rest of the 70+ back runners, too.

(And, btw, I am 66, so I am not one of those who think that all old people should just go away and die!)

P.S. And I would also wish for all the remaining candidates to show common sense, civility, and respect toward all hard-working and law-abiding people, while still showing compassion for those who are disabled.

I’d like some of that free QE money from the Fed.

Bernanke said he would throw money out of a helicopter, maybe Powell can throw money out of a flying sleigh.

The century of film heritage is gone when a major movie studio is bought up by another. Also, all the contributions that the Fox Film Empire did are basically moot when Team Mickey bought them out.
