A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 2)

You should have known better from the cold open to Season One, Episode One:

That just reminds me of living in Kansas farm country back in the day. Totally flat and you could see far into the distance. Not much in the way of trees either. Roads were straight and seemed to go on forever. Cruise control was definitely your friend.

Well, yeah, I knew Saskatchewan was flat, I just hadn’t connected it to the ‘dog running away taking 3 days’ joke in the first line of the theme song-- I thought at first it meant that small town life was so boring, a story about a dog running away takes 3 days to tell.

Maybe I should have posted my little epiphany in the “Obvious things about a creative work you realize after the millionth time” thread :smirk:

I got a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in college. One of my favorite professors, who taught life drawing, said he developed an excellent instinctive sense of perspective from growing up in Kansas.

Aw, that’s a shame…

"Two! The two most important issues are INFLATION and IMMIGRATION. IMMIGRATION and INFLATION.
And an almost fanatical devotion to Vladimir Putin.

I’ll tweet again."

Just saw this on Xitter about one of Tan the Convictman’s enablers.

:rotating_light::rotating_light::rotating_light: MAJOR BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene appears to have failed to disclose profits she made on her last MAGA book. The memoir, entitled MTG, details her time in Congress. It was published by Winning Team Publishing, owned in part by Don Jr. Oh it gets better. It’s possible Marjorie Taylor Greene didn’t disclose the payments…

Because the book didn’t make enough money to trigger the requirements of her financial disclosure form. !

:joy::joy::joy:

That means, either Marjorie Taylor Greene is an embarrassing failure, or she’s a criminal and deserves to be prosecuted. Share this everywhere so we get this story more attention. Marjorie Taylor Greene deserves to be expelled from Congress.

That’s pretty funny.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say she is both.

Someone who grew up in west Texas told me you could see for 40 miles in any direction – or 60 if you stood on a can of Skoal.

Fox News has never treated Trump or MAGA ‘fairly’? Man, that’s some Ministry of Truth-level rewriting of history.

Technically correct. They’ve favoured both outrageously and that’s not treating them ‘fairly’. shrug

edited to fix everything.

Over at Breitbart they’ve declared Fox “leftist”

And no, I’m neither kidding nor exaggerating.

I knew a die-hard Trumper who was complaining years ago that Fox was too liberal and that he had to go to OAN to get the “real” news.

I think Fox hosting a town hall with Pete Buttigieg was what triggered him.

Every time Fox dips into actual journalism and news, no matter how briefly, it causes the cultists to lose their minds. The fact that their standard m.o. has resulted in over half a billion dollars in fines doesn’t seem to have phased them at all.

I recall this mostly starting with Fox calling Arizona for Biden back in 2020? There were probably rumblings about this before that and that’s just when it hit a fever pitch.

Apparently Fox has a solid polling division, so their numbers are pretty reliable. Just makes it sweeter.

Now how in the fuck did that happen?!

“fazed”, not “phased”. Although I’d love to see Fox News phasered. Or put out of phase with our universe.

Fox calling it, based on exit polling, for Obama over Romney on Election Night 2016 also led to much conservative wailing and gnashing of teeth at the time.

I assume you meant 2012.

Is that the election where some Fox host/anchor had a camera accompany them on a trek to the basement to ask the eggheads if they were serious?

And apparently, 2012? but wasn’t that McCain? yes, I am too lazy to look it up.
