cnn has absolutely taken off the gloves. too late, but you still love to see it. 

Spineless to wait until now 

but I do enjoy the dunking comments I heard today, paraphrasing “in these last days, Trump is exhibiting his three main qualities. Lying, narcissism, and incompetence”

Agree. Will enjoy the drunken anderson and Andy antics tonight though.

I switched to Fox News last night, and they didn’t mention the TrumpTape once. They were too busy discussing the Georgia runoff election. 

Came to post this.  They showed Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy speeches but absolutely nothing on the Trump tapes.  Nothing on the sedition, at all.  It was pathetic.  Their website had it as the top story but the pundits did not have the state sponsored talking points on it so nothing.

Hawley seems half smart despite the wisecracks about him (Yale Law Review).....and I know it's impossible to know every federal statute.  But if your entire premise for challenging the certification is based on one particular statute from the 19th century, you should know it verbatim and be able to effectively apply the statute to this situation and fact patter in real time.  All he did there was tip-toe around and imply, "I need something to use as 'precedence' or a federal directive to allow us to sling shit on Wednesday and the best we could find was this completely unrelated statute that's been idle for 150 years."

His entire premise is 2024, either at the top of the ticket or in the VP slot if Trump actually runs again.

I learned a long time ago, that some very intelligent, book-smart people, don’t have any common sense.....and many times, common sense is a lot more valuable when making the right choices/decisions.

There's common sense and there is deliberate intent of misrepresentation. Molly Jong Fast sees it. They are 'reframing' the narrative and it will work if the Democratic leadership doesn't get busy to counter this sentiment:

They aren't reframing anything. They've been crying about white values since Barry Goldwater. This isn't new.

I don't know, but it pisses me off that he's in on the joke and, presumably, stroking his advertisers with everything going on. Shows how little he believes anything coming out of his mouth.

Has the mind meld between Fox News and its typical audience member finally happened and created some kind of sentient artificial intelligence that broadcasts itself over the air?  Which other one of my uncle’s stream of consciousness ramblings can you do a segment on?  “Breaking news:  for my money, anything other than black coffee is for queers and socialists!  And no, America, you cannot make me wear a seatbelt!  Well, back to you, Ainsley.”

Have all the rep. You should do a bit, I can’t stop laughing.

It’s entertainment, not news, so of course he’s acting. That’s his profession and how he earns his salary.

Absolutely. It just infuriates me that his viewers don't instantly recognize that. If he actually believed ANY of what he spouts every night--socialism taking over the country, stolen Presidential election, complete suppression of conservative voices (the mother fucking nerve to argue this with his salary), etc.--then this week would have him livid as a "journalist." Patriots being vilified for standing up for freedom and democracy, so on and so on. But nah, he's yucking it up about endless bread sticks.
