If your prediction is correct, Kevin, Trump and his GOP sycophants will go on record as punishing victims of a major disaster, simply because of where they live. Trump is shameless and won’t care, but Republicans should strongly consider if that’s the legacy they want to carry.
California will take the case to federal courts, and SHOULD prevail, but given the judges and SC justices appointed by Trump, who knows? And I hope you are right about Newsom not “bending the knee.”

Another deadly school shooting? Meh, just a “fact of life”, according to JD Vance.
Drones in the night sky? OMG, a threat to national security!
Republicans are insane.

Doesn’t she remember when Trump posted “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” ?

commented on Yep, Fox News Knew About Hegseth’s Drinking And Defended His Sec Def Nomination Anyway 2024-12-04 22:41:29 -0500 · Flag

Political appointees may work under the president’s authority, but they are supposed to work FOR the American people…a concept that is totally alien to Trump. The Senate must remember this during the confirmation hearings, and not simply rubber-stamp Trump’s picks.

Alternet.org documents that Perino and Gutfeld think anyone involved in Trump’s criminal prosecutions deserve the “death penalty.” So you see, they’ve become even more extreme and dangerous.

Apparently, Lahren had no problem when Trump shamed Jewish voters who support V.P. Harris.

Peter is a Nepo Baby that makes his father Steve look smart by comparison.

commented on Did Fox News Deliberately Make Trump Look Like A Lunatic In His Presser Today? 2024-08-09 18:09:54 -0400 · Flag

Trump is suffering from worsening dementia AND a narcissistic collapse. His lies and delusions of grandeur can no longer protect his ego from the reality that his popularity is rapidly slipping, and he doesn’t have the “fire in the belly” to turn things around.

commented on Fox Hosts Slobber Over Trump’s Golf Game, Suggest It Will Help Him Win Election 2024-08-03 11:24:42 -0400 · Flag

Trump played golf the day after an assassination attempt, but he waited a few more days to call the widow of the man who was killed. Priorities, you know.

commented on Fox Trots Out Compulsive-Liar McEnany To Legitimize RW Biden Cheapfakes 2024-06-19 19:32:16 -0400 · Flag

I take McEnany’s comment as an admission that Trump will “weaponize” just about anything, then accuse his opponent of being the “real” weaponizer.

commented on Gutfeld Attacks Questions About Trump’s Character As ‘A Luxury Belief’ 2024-06-17 19:54:57 -0400 · Flag

Gutfeld says Paul Ryan “misinterpreted” the function of Fox News. Is he saying the network’s function is NOT to report the news? Is propaganda its real function? (Rhetorical question, I know!)

commented on Kayleigh McEnany Claimed Butker Speech Full Of ‘Kindness, Compassion’ 2024-05-26 14:08:58 -0400 · Flag

Butker’s comments would be less divisive if he had told men, and not just “ladies,” that being a good parent is a higher priority than pursuing a career. It’s extremely arrogant of him to imply that all women should be full-time homemakers because that’s what works for him and his wife.

commented on Jeanine Pirro Violated Trump's NY Gag Order On His Behalf 2024-05-13 16:51:08 -0400 · Flag

None of those folks have any credibility outside the MAGA base. Their comments will have no impact on the trial.

So, Peek writes, “countering Russia’s power-mad dictator (Vladimir Putin) is the right thing to do.” But she’s all in favor of electing Trump, who will bend the knee and give Putin whatever he wants. What a hypocrite!

commented on Dagen McDowell Urged Fox Viewers To Slash Tires And Use Feces Against Those Calling Out Military Extremism 2024-01-09 15:19:39 -0500 · Flag

Fox pundits frequently disparage the military as being too “woke,” so spare me the phony outrage about allegations of extremism in the military.

commented on Gavin Newsom Gives Fox, Hannity Early Xmas Gift With DeSantis Debate 2023-11-23 17:52:00 -0500 · Flag

It’s a gamble for Newsom, but he knows that clips of the so-called debate will be replayed on other networks. This will raise his national profile. Requesting that no audience be present was a smart move on his part..
Fox will try mightily to make DeSantis appear to be the “winner,” but so what? His campaign is virtually over.

commented on Fox Has Officially Dumped Youngkin For President - For Now 2023-11-10 10:57:54 -0500 · Flag

“Republicans taking over.” Earhardt might have added, “by any means necessary”: gerrymandering districts, removing minority voters from voter lists, claiming “fraud,” etc. Youngkin, being somewhat new to politics, didn’t engage in the dirty work we’ve seen from other GOP politicians.

commented on Fox News Rhetoric Has Gotten Even More Dangerous After Trump’s Latest Indictment 2023-08-05 12:14:03 -0400 · Flag

I hope the DOJ is investigating whether people in right-wing media were actively colluding with the coup plotters to spread disinformation during that crucial post -2020 election period. If so, those facts need to be made public. There are exceptions under the law to freedom of the press (e.g. libel and defamation cases), so it should be illegal for the media to participate in an criminal conspiracy.

A question all of these trolls need to answer: “If Trump did nothing wrong, then it would be okay for Biden to do exactly the same thing to stay in power if Biden loses in 2024…right?”

commented on DeSantis Blames Trump Indictments For Floundering Campaign 2023-07-18 16:29:09 -0400 · Flag

Kurtz must be Fox’s new practitioner of “Republican Rehab.” There are too many lies in that interview to list, but it shows how difficult it would be to “deprogram” Fox News viewers who listen to this stuff all the time.
