Col. Sanders?
This morning, the president of the United States admitted that his campaign colluded in the election with a foreign power. It’s on all the news sites. Lead story on Foxnews, however? Missing pretty white girl. In fact, the admission of a very impeachable offense by the president does not warrant any story at all on Foxnews. Must be a really heavy news day to not be one of the 100 or so stories on the front page.
Oh, great…as if those creepy Colonel impostor commercials weren’t reason enough for him to rest uneasily in his grave…
Just wait till some sophomore at Oberlin is caught on tape saying something stupid. Fox will be all over that shit.
Indeed. I remember the Colonel when he was alive – as well as the state funeral given him in Kentucky – and he always seemed like a kindly old man. He must be spinning in his grave now.
But not, I bet, fanatical loyalty to the pope.
Is it definitely impeachable? I’d say that it would be a severe offense for his team to try to work with the Russians if what they were hoping to get is info that was obtained by breaking laws, such as we now know happened. But what if Junior thought he would be getting data on corruption involving Hillary and the Russians? Something like “we have evidence that Hillary was laundering money through her charitable foundation.”
The appropriate response would be to involve the FBI at that point, but would his eagerness to get that data himself be something that would be a crime, or impeachment of Trump if his dad knew about it?
Someone posted recently about Trump, at a campaign rally, mentioning that they would be coming out with dirt on Hillary, just hours after Junior set up the meeting with the Russians. Can someone find that for me?
I think we’ve just discovered the Republican equivalent – if this argument is ever made by a Republican – of “it depends on what the definition of ‘is’ is”.
As per NPR, on June 7th, 2016:
June 7th was a Tuesday; the meeting would occur on Thursday, June 9th.
Also, on the afternoon of June 9th (i.e., just after the meeting), Trump tweeted about Clinton’s emails for the first time:
Note that “think that up” was apparently in reply to a tweet that morning by Clinton, in response to a Trump tweet:
I shouldn’t comment; almost the only Fox I see is when Stephen Colbert or some other sane source plays an excerpt. But just now I mis-clicked at YouTube and ended up watching the first two minutes of this Fox clip: Tucker Carlson thinks he’s ‘Gotcha’ed’ a Democratic Congressman.
Does it often get this inane? Alex Jones was taken down, why is FoxNews still up?
The 823 figure in that tweet was interesting too.
Tucker Carlson’s main schtick is “gotcha-journalism”. And, he fails miserably often as he did there (as they used to say, Tucker got pwned). He would be the laughingstock of any other news outlet but he and his dipshit buddy, Hannity, are seen as the real heroes on Fox.
I am being 100% serious when I say that was a very good interview by Tucker’s standards.
Normally his “interviews” are entirely blantant ad hominems and leading questions.
But in that interview, the congressman was ready for him and was able to call him on his bull.
However, as you have seen, videos where Carlson or Hannity get thumped with the great hammer of logic, still get shared on youTube as, say, “Tucker OWNS libtard cuck!”, with comments to match. Guess their fans don’t really listen to the content, they just enjoy the theater.
Fog-horn racism at Fox. Laura Ingraham: [INDENT]“The America we know and love doesn’t exist anymore. Massive demographic changes have been foisted on the American people, and they are changes that none of us ever voted for, and most of us don’t like … this is related to both illegal and legal immigration”
Ingraham later in the same show: Is black on black crime a bigger problem than the racism that you claim exists in the criminal justice system? [/INDENT]
Um, we don’t live in a direct democracy Laura. And immigration -both legal and illegal- is very much a result of policies voted in Washington. You see while your GOP friends like to discuss border walls for the benefit of the rubes, effective measures like cracking down on employers who hire undocumented immigrants run into a phalanx of lobbyists. It’s been this way at least since the 1970s.
“Foisted”.
Vanilla ice cream abhors a melting pot.
Only without the humans.
Manafort is found guilty. Cohen pleads guilty and says he paid off Stormy Daniels at the direction of Trump and was reimbursed by Trump, in order to hide Trump’s affair. Big news day.
Fox cut away for a press conference on missing university student Mollie Tibbetts.
Fox - “MSNBC, CNN ignore bombshell development in Mollie Tibbetts case on day of bad news for Trump”
I didn’t believe it. I really didn’t. I’m as sorry the young woman was killed as anyone, but unfortunately, there are lots of people murdered every day. I don’t think it requires wall-to-wall coverage, and certainly not up there with the President’s personal lawyer saying the President directed him to commit a crime, or the Presidents former campaign manager getting convicted of a bunch of felonies. To say this was just a “bad news day” for Trump is like saying April 12, 1912 was a bad day for HMS Titanic.
Trump has had about 500 “bad news days.” This one was a big worse.
