It has begun. You really shouldn’t otter done that…
Otter than that, what do you think about it?
Put e lid on it, you must.
Okay, that was the stretchiest of stretches…
The discussion has become otter than anyone could have imagined.
Wow fantastic video to bring us back on topic.
It’s not just the hypocrisy; it’s the contempt for their viewers. They clearly think the people who watch have the memory of a goldfish and no principles whatsoever.
There’s One America News, doesn’t have nearly the market share of Fox but they’re probably more ridiculously in the tank for Herr Donald.
The “then and now” video is pretty awesome. Instead of worrying about kids saying the pledge, we should make them watch this every day.
a self-fulfilling prophecy

Fair and balanced to the max!!!
So, anyway, watching the excerpt from the Fox talky where Trump is on the phone railing and ranting. Reminded of a Python sketch in structure, the comedy of increasing anxiety, with a Cleese character doing Trump’s part, and the Douche and the Bimbo and the Other Douche sitting stark staring still.
Lot of you have seen the outtake, you can’t buy comedy like that. Right there at the end, Douche says “Well, you got a million things to do” and the phone interview is over.
Did anyone else hear it as they hung up on him? As Eugene V. Debs is my witness, I swear he was still speaking when the line went dead! You can hear about half a word, and then it just stops!
Izzat what you guys heard?
Couldn’t say, I haven’t been able to listen to a Republican speak since about 2004.
That’s what happened. Epic. Positively unhinged.
MSNBC has been pointing out all the missteps for the entire day, and they have a rich target environment. The Feds have already filed a motion saying they do not believe the papers are likely to contain many privileged documents in the SDNY case related to Trump. They cited Trump’s comment that Cohen handled only a small part of his legal work in the pleading within 2 hours of Trump’s having spewed it.
This may be the only day that I actually appreciated something Fox “News” did. It’s worth enduring the sounds of that ghastly, ranting voice just to watch the hosts and their Herculean struggles to keep the horror off their faces.
No, not really. They had a set time slot for it and they had to end it because of that. They did step on his blortings a tad there, but he ultimately recognized that they were wrapping.
But it did seem reminiscent of that phone call with Aunt Clara. You know the one. She is so lonely, what with Uncle Brock done snuffed it, and you can barely get a word in, and you are desperately trying to find a politic way to get out of this call, because your ear is sore and sweating from the handset pressed up against it (even with the twenty times you have already swapped ears), but she just will not fucking let up, and you are crying with such frustration that your copy of Architectural Digest is getting little blisters on that page with the house in Taos that you wanted to show to your spouse, but she just keeps …
I just came back to amend what I’d said. Not 5 minutes after I’d posted, I saw the entire end of the interview for the first time, and they did have to move him off, but he did finally get it.
My favorite was when he was talking about the “fake news”, and he said something like “… so I never watch them anymore. I was watching last night and they said …”
Actual quote was “I don’t watch them at all! I watched last night, I tell you what.”
If only Trump had called into a real news show while in that state.
Any journalist or presenter with an ounce of credibility could have tore into him; over his insecurities, ignorance, inconsistencies, probably other “i” words etc. Would have been an epic interview, and probably concluded with Trump hanging up, realizing he was finished.
But because they’re in his pocket / BFFs, it instead limped on, painfully.
It had a Queeg-like majesty to it, performed for an audience of one in his out-loud voice, lacking only the clack of two steel balls.
Here’s a complete transcript of Trump’s interview:
