> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Greta Van Susteren isn’t beautiful, but such a good reporter that Fox hired her away from CNN and MSNBC from Fox. There are plenty of average looking people in visual media that I don’t find the least bit distracting (in fact, I like seeing talented, normal-looking folks in newsrooms). I’m not saying SHS is ugly, just that I find something about her odd and distracting that I can’t quite put my finger on. ---

She’s a mean one she is. If I weren’t opposed to violence, I’d want to slap her in her whole face. She has said some pretty nasty shit to reporters just doing their job. I dislike her very much. ---

Can’t speak to Georgians, but I can attest to my Tennessee ancestors being inbred. 🙂 ---

> [@D\_Anconia](#): > > Cite for Georgians being inbred, please. Sorry, I should have specified south Georgia, and so I believe I don’t need a cite for something that obvious. Specifically many of the small towns near Tallahassee. And there was one particular reunion I went to three years in a row. After the first one, I was hooked. It was like going to a human zoo. The inbred thing happens because many people around there never move very far away, hence the ease with which they can have large family reunion parties every year, and after a couple hundred years or so, you end up marrying a distant cousin. The inbreds have a certain “look” to them. Kind of a pinched face, or a doofy look to the face. After a while you can recognize it. Sarah has the look and so does Mike. I realize everyone from south Georgia is not included so no offense if anyone here is from there. ---

“Distant cousins.” 21 and Me regularly informs me of distant cousins. ---

The inbreds have a certain “look” to them. Kind of a pinched face, or a doofy look to the face… Do you have a cite; e.g. actual pedigree? Marrying a distant cousin after a couple hundred years is routine; inbreeding is almost a non-issue unless spouses are 1st cousins or closer. I think inbreeding is often over-estimated. Pitcairn Island was isolated for several generations, yet the survivors mostly had inbreeding coefficients less than 0.04. In the rural low-mobility area where I live there are many interesting genealogies — two people are often 1st or 2nd cousins both paternally or maternally, yet I’ve not come across any actual case of inbreeding. I’m not saying you’re wrong. Just that I would like to examine the actual genealogies you cite for my own research. ---

Ms. Huckabee-S once replied to a reporter’s question with: > [@Sarah Huckabee Sanders](#): > > I’ve heard from a large number of individuals that work at the FBI that said they’re very happy with the president’s decision [to fire Comey]. This was not an isolated utterance; she said essentially the same thing in other words several times. Now in the Mueller report we read that Ms Huckabee-S later admitted that these were lies, “slips of the tongue” without any foundation. IMHO this lying behavior is unbecoming of a press secretary. ---

If I was a member of the White House press, I’d ask her “Now that you’ve admitted under oath to lying to the press, how can we trust that anything you tell us is the truth?” Follow-up: “Is there anything else have you been untruthful about?” And one final follow-up, Sarah: “Have you asked God for forgiveness for the lies you’ve told the American people?” ---

A slip of the tongue? Well, who can’t be forgiven that? Seriously, she lies more than Donald Trump does, which is amazing. ---

I knew nothing about this woman until she took this job. Now, like so may others, she will be forever tainted by her association with Trump.
