Joe Biden hasn’t even been in office two weeks, and the corporate press is already panicking.

“Orange Man Bad” stories that field the press for four years don’t work with Trump out of office.

Now CNN blamed Trump after Wall Street cronies lost a major gamble to a group of Redditors.

The “Trump bump” rescued CNN from the ratings doldrums.

With Trump out of office and booted from every single social media platform, the so-called “mainstream” media are having trouble coming up with ways to blame him for all the troubles of the world.

But CNN’s Chris Cillizza gave it a shot anyway by trying to blame the GameStop short squeeze controversy on Trump.

A band of online retailer investors learned that major hedge funds were shorting the video game store GameStop, i.e. betting on the company’s value to crater.

In order to stick it to the hedge funds, the retail investors banded together to purchase GameStop stock en masse and drive up the price, which caused massive panic among the hedge fund managers.

Short selling a stock can lead to massive losses if the price of the stock skyrockets, which is exactly what happened.

Hedge fund managers reportedly lost $70 billion, causing massive disruption and the imminent death of retail investor app Robinhood, which betrayed its users by halting people from buying GameStop stock.

CNN’s Cillizza, of course, said “Trumpism” was to blame, saying there was “no real point” to short squeeze “beyond showing up the pros – proving to them that they aren’t as smart as they think they are and that they don’t have the ability to control everything . . . Which, again, has its roots in Trumpism.”

This is an absurd take from Cillizza, who’s essentially serving as a shill for Wall Street interest.

By “Trumpism” Cillizza means populism; the GameStop short squeeze served the purpose of actually transferring wealth from Wall Street to Main Street; many of the people buying GameStop made a mint.

The establishment acted swiftly to stop the bleeding by blocking retail investors from loading up on GameStop so the hedge funds could mitigate their losses, and putting out hit pieces on the retail investors.

Cillizza’s article was one of several attempting to link the online traders with white supremacists and racists.

Thus far, the divide-and-conquer strategy cynically employed by the establishment Left is not working.

People are not taking the bait.

Donald Trump is out of office, but his enemies are not done with him.

The Democrats are moving forward with another sham impeachment of Trump.

But one Never Trumper on The View said something ridiculous about impeachment.

Meghan McCain is always outnumbered on The View as she’s surrounded almost exclusively by bloodthirsty Democrats.

But one thing McCain shares with her co-hosts is a deep and abiding hatred of Donald Trump.

McCain’s father, John McCain, had a very public feud with Trump during the 2016 campaign, so Meghan is no fan of Trump.

Now she’s openly calling for him to be impeached and convicted in the Senate for inciting a riot.

.@MeghanMcCain: “I believe Pres. Trump should be impeached. I believe we have to take a stand and have a fine line about what is acceptable for a president to do or not. He incited a riot. People got violent. People died.”

McCain probably won’t get her wish because 44 Republican Senators voted with Rand Paul to end the sham trial of Trump; Democrats need 17 Republicans to vote with them, and only five squishes have signaled they’re willing to do so.

Paul argued that it’s unconstitutional to impeach a private citizen, which Trump is now that he’s out of office.

Constitutionality aside, the proposition is ridiculous.

The average American doesn’t care about the theater of impeachment.

Also, this would set an incredibly dangerous threshold for what amounts to incitement.

As Paul pointed out, a deranged Bernie Sanders supporter attempted to assassinate members of Congress after Sanders and the Democrats insisted that Republicans were killing people with their healthcare proposal.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and other Democrats called ICE facilities “concentration camps” before an Antifa terrorist tried to “liberate” an ICE detention center in Tacoma, Washington.

Ocasio-Cortez and Omar refused to answer questions about incitement from right-wing media, and the corporate press never asked them about it.

McCain is getting behind a bad cause because of her hatred for Trump.

If delivering a rousing speech – which expressly called for peace – is incitement, then politicians will have to find a new profession.

Rep. Eric Swalwell has been at the forefront of every anti-Trump conspiracy theory.

So naturally, he has made regular appearances on CNN for the past four years.

But he might never go on CNN again after he got asked one question you won’t believe.

Eric Swalwell went from being a little-known Congressman to a left-wing “resistance” hero when he became a leading figure peddling anti-Trump conspiracy theories on networks like CNN.

He is the Congressman who released the so-called “whistleblower” allegation against Trump relating to a 2019 call with Ukraine’s President, which resulted in Trump’s first impeachment trial.

And he is a current impeachment manager for the latest allegations Democrats are trying to convict Trump of in order to bar him from running for office ever again.

He was likely hoping for answers relating to that when he made a recent appearance with Jake Tapper on CNN.

Instead, Tapper surprisingly questioned him about his relationship with an accused Chinese spy, which many allege became sexual.

Tapper asked, “House Republicans have called for you to step down from the House Intelligence Committee because of this situation. You were informed by the FBI that you had been targeted by an alleged Chinese spy, who I guess is no longer in the country. Have you learned any more about this case since this broke in early December? And can you clarify how much contact you had with this Chinese national who goes by Fang Fang or Christine Fang?”

Swalwell replied, “Jake, this is a 2015 meeting about a person that I had as a volunteer back in 2012 on the campaign. The FBI has said that I did nothing wrong. Don’t take it from me. There was no wrongdoing. I’ve learned nothing new. And Speaker Pelosi has said she is keeping me on the committee. By the way, Jake, Republicans were briefed on this conduct, that this individual was trying to do with me and many other members of Congress, back in 2015. I think this is retaliation more than anything else.”

Swalwell clearly wasn’t happy with this question.

But Tapper still questioned him in the lightest way possible.

Tapper simply says he was “targeted by an alleged Chinese spy,” while ignoring the fact that the alleged spy gained a lot of influence in his office, even hand-placing interns in his Congressional office.

It has also been alleged that the relationship between Swalwell and the spy was sexual in nature, which of course, Tapper didn’t question him on.

To downplay the allegations in the question and then allow Swalwell to get away with misdirecting in his response borders on journalistic malpractice.

But you can be sure Swalwell was furious with Tapper for even bringing it up.
