Kevin K, if Shepherd is a hedge just in case the Trump Misadministration keels over and goes tits up (who could imagine?), then Shepherd may actually have the most secure job in the building. Outside of the guy who spackles makeup over Bill O’Reillys liver spots.

“GOP health plan risks backlash from seniors.”

A combination of hedging their bets and not riling up senior citizens on health care issues.

Social Security and Medicare are the third rail of American politics. Faux viewers are a confused mixed up lot. Senior Faux viewers even more so.

The captain ordered, “Ahead. Dead slow.”

If Sean is a thumb, BOR is the middle finger. With liver spots.

Too bad that Bharara was cut short in his work. Faux needs stepping on and he was doing that. Sean Hannity giving out the orders the day before Trump carrrys them out is sorta creepy.

Oh yeah! But it’s been so long since I’ve used that word that it still smells of moth balls.

Shepherd Smith could be a sign that the powers that be (Rupert Murdoch’s sons) are hedging their bets. It’s pretty damn easy to believe that normal people could look at the Trump administration and think, “This flying clusterfuck will have the wheels fall off at the same time the roof caves in. Better hedge our bets.” And keep Shepherd around because he’s a decent human being in the Land of the Philistines.

In flag etiquette and rules, flying the flag upside down is a distress signal. For example a ship sinking. Maybe Sean Spicer was trying to tell us something in a subtle way.

Richard, I love that movie too. I was saddened to hear about the death of Harold Ramis a couple of years back. One of the creative geniuses of our time.

People would tell him, “Yeah, our religion is just like your movie Groundhog Day!!”.

And all this computer hacking gadgetry is top secret making it easy for Sean who could claim it was the man on the moon who hacked the DNC.

If party affiliations were reversed, republicans, every one of them, would be hyperventilating right now.

Somebody stole Sheriff Clarke’s sombrero. Awwwww. Russia doesn’t have a big gun lobby. It has a big GUN industry. Second to ourselves. When they aren’t selling guns to third world dickhead dictators who like to keep the heads of their enemies in their freezers, they sell guns to us. Old Soviet weaponry makes up a substantial portion of merchandise at American gun shows.

Remember, Russian gun manufacturing is highly institutional. Since the 1890s they have relied on guns for their existence. Much more than the USA.

At the end of “The Way Things Aren’t” by Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (a book cataloging Rush’s many lies and fallacies) they say we could have kept going on and on but we didn’t see the point. When caught flatfooted lying, they don’t give up. Either they are determined liars or are dangerously deluded. I think Rush Limbaugh is the former and Monica Crowley is the later.

Laney, I was wondering the same thing. Trump seems to be obviously in over his head. After LBJ left the White House in 1969, most people believe he willed himself to die. He was depressed about the Vietnam War and the widespread social unrest at that time in spite of his massive efforts at liberal reform. After he left he started overeating, drinking and smoking. He died the day after Nixon was sworn in to his second term. I have no love for Trump but I don’t want to see Pence in there. He is zealot and a true believer.

Kevin K, not only does the USA have the most antiquated democracy in the world but also the most antiquated health insurance system.

Our current health insurance system traces it’s roots back to WWII. When FDR froze industrial wages, industry wanted a bargaining chip to hire better workers. Enter the job health care plan. Big mistake. Good idea at that time, disastrous in the long haul.

Something that EOF has pointed out is that republicans would do away with mandatory participation. That, by itself, would unravel Obama care. Health insurance premiums for the greater population has to be mandatory, not optional. Like any combine or collective. Listen to me, I sound like a commie. But that is what socialism is: everyone contributing for the greater good. It’s also a distillation of most insurance plans.

Tying our health insurance to our jobs was a big mistake a long time ago. It needs correcting.

Tucker? Is that you??!

And Laura would be the first one to call a failing business filing bankruptcy “a bunch of leeches sponging off the system!!”, unless it were HER business. Then it would be perfectly understandable and acceptable.

Lying media whores!!

EOF, you’re right. If there was a wiretap it would be senseless to do it illegally. Because one George W Bush made it incredibly easy to get a wiretap order through FISA.

Republicans, all together now, say, “Thank you George W Bush!!”.

I voted for Gutfeld. Making more twists and contortions than a pretzel. If the party affiliation were reversed, he’d be calling for the AG’s resignation. Which is what we are doing. Thank you Greg.

A good topic that college students might study is to see if there is a correlation between mass shootings/white policeman shooting black suspects/the Obama presidential years. That would ruffle some Faux feathers. If Faux gets any whiter they’ll be the color of copy paper.

Bemused, back in the Watergate days it was rumored that Kissinger told the Pentagon to inform him of any big screwy orders coming out of the White House. They were worried that Nixon might try to incinerate the world to get their minds off of Watergate.
