At one time, a President could consult with Congressional leaders of both parties on foreign policy matters. The current Republicans have made that impossible.

commented on Tucker Carlson Treason Plan B: Accuse U.S. Of Wanting Russia To Invade Ukraine 2022-03-09 19:43:52 -0500 · Flag

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.

commented on Faulkner Whines Biden Discriminating By Replacing Breyer With Black Woman 2022-01-27 15:16:32 -0500 · Flag

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.

More proof that Tucker deserves the lifetime achievement award for Outrageous Fox Quote of the Week.

commented on Jan. 6 Committee Is Probably Making A Lot Of People At Fox Very Uncomfortable 2022-01-06 00:30:35 -0500 · Flag

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.

Ellen, if Fox/GOP become worse than ever, it will remind voters how truly awful they are. But Democrats have to respond quickly and not get caught flat-footed.

Lahren has less charm and wit than Ann Coulter? Since when did Coulter have charm or wit?

commented on Tucker Carlson Implicitly Confirms He’s Been Vaccinated 2021-06-23 14:12:46 -0400 · Flag

While I don’t wish for anyone to get sick or die from Covid, I can’t muster any sympathy for someone who gets their medical advice from Fox News.

commented on Fox Baselessly Suggests Dr. Fauci Deliberately Helped Chinese Spread COVID 2021-06-04 19:07:30 -0400 · Flag

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.

I have friends who have been harassed (and NOT politely) for wearing a mask, so Carlson isn’t proposing anything new.

commented on Seth Meyers Skewers Kayleigh McEnany’s Sudden Concern Presidents Not Inflame Tensions 2021-04-25 15:59:32 -0400 · Flag

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?

Could Owens’ remark about a “traumatizing experience” at the supermarket be more ill-timed?

Unfortunately, the money that Fox News has paid to settle lawsuits is a pittance compared to the huge profits they generate. But I applaud Vindman for speaking out and encouraging others who are smeared by the network to fight back.

The last several years should teach us that anything can happen. No matter who rises to power within the GOP, we have to view them as a serious threat to our country.

Mollie’s customary smirk goes so well with her customary snark. At this point, she’s beyond parody!
