Fox and its viewers see January 6 as a failure, so of course they won’t cover it. If, God forbid, the coup had succeeded, Fox would push the day as a national holiday.

Psychopaths have always existed, even in very religious cultures. While there are many factors than contribute to violence, there is a strong correlation between mass shootings and the easy availability of assault-style weapons. More religious worship will not change that.

The video makes clear that Eric Swalwell never actually said “Ukraine should join NATO.” That’s Tucker’s interpretation. But TTC reinforces the lie, i.e. “Why would he [Swalwell] say that?” TTC plays this little “straw man” trick all the time. It’s high time someone sues him for defamation.

O/T, has Fox News, or any right-wing media, covered the subpoenas issued to the fake Trump “electors” who falsely claimed they were duly elected? Odd that conservative media seem to be ignoring this story.

Faulkner is an idiot. SCOTUS would not say “no” to a President choosing whomever he or she wants to be a nominee. Just another example of Fox lying to its viewers.

The committee has purposely released texts from Hannity that make him look “reasonable,” that is, opposed to the coup attempt. In effect, Hannity can choose to cooperate, and look like a good guy who tried to do the right thing. But if he refuses to cooperate, expect the committee to release less-flattering texts. It’s almost certain that Hannity knows as much as anyone about Trump’s motives and plans leading up to January 6.

I was the one who thought the president [Trump] should go to the game. I never thought he would get booed. I thought Americans won’t do that, Americans would cheer." Dana Perino, Oct. 28, 2019
And she wasn’t the only Fox shill who thought it was disrepectful – disrespectful, I tell you! – to boo a president. But only if it’s Trump, of course. I guess the rules have changed.

I absolutely agree, the false statements made about Fauci (and others) on Fox “News” are not made “in error,” they are malicious slander. It’s time to stop letting them get away with it.

People will die because of Tucker’s intentional lies about Covid-19 vaccines. Yet he refuses to say whether or not HE is vaccinated. He can’t claim “privacy” rights while using his very public platform to denounce vaccines.

Another violator of the Hatch Act. McEnany, as an employee of the federal government on Jan 4., illegally made her political views public, as did many Trump appointees. Let’s hope the DOJ goes after them.

Even after the Kraken herself admitted that reasonable folks should not take her voter-fraud claims seriously, a few wingnuts like Alveda have to perpetuate the Big Lie. How else is the GOP going to rake in donations from gullible supporters?
