Members DRW50 Posted June 29, 2017 Members Share Posted June 29, 2017 This is a shell game. The headlines are now off of the health care bill and the Republican infighting and on Trump's "greatest hits" and two of his favorite puppets Joe and Mika. Everyone will pretend to be shocked and pretend to be upset, then move on to a news cycle healthier for Republicans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 29, 2017 Members Share Posted June 29, 2017 Of course, it's a shell game faciliated by the quest for clicks online and off. The real sh*tstorm will likely hit when some of these Congresspeople revisit their home districts during the recess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 29, 2017 Members Share Posted June 29, 2017 It just annoys me so much when I see Lindsey Graham tut-tutting. It's that faux-responsible schtick that is never backed up. Obviously I do understand why people are disgusted by his comments. I'm just tired of the false media outrage and the false finger wagging from politicians who enable him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted June 29, 2017 Members Share Posted June 29, 2017 I agree with you, but I'm also torn. I'm glad to see the media hit him on the fact that he always uses looks to attack women. It's so clear he only values women by their looks, which is why he always uses it to denigrate us. At the same time it changes nothing. We all knew this. It's way more important to keep the heat up on Russia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponds Posted June 29, 2017 Members Share Posted June 29, 2017 I was much more offended by his "low IQ" comment than about her looks! I almost hate to get up in the morning and see what sh*t he has tweeted. He's an embarrassment, a lunatic and a sexual pervert! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted June 29, 2017 Members Share Posted June 29, 2017 Yeah, it's hard to get worked up over his misogyny when that's what people voted for. I'd go for the narrative that this is what he's doing while Carrier moves jobs to Mexico. As for Russia, that freight train will keep moving no matter what. One of the things I like is that Mueller is just doing the work. No public statements. No grabbing at the spotlight. Meanwhile everyone lawyers up, Page spends ten hours talking to the FBI, Manafort registers as a foreign agent which is an indication he violated FARA. Donnie was going to file a complain against Comey and backed down and he had to admit he didn't have any "tapes." I really believe the noose is tightening. Donnie's unhinged behavior is practically a cry to be removed from office. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted June 29, 2017 Members Share Posted June 29, 2017 The point isn't that attacking her looks is the greater insult, it's that misogynists always reduce women to their looks. I wish we could expect more from the person leading us. I read a profile of him awhile back and it left me hopeful. He sounds like someone who digs in and doesn't quit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 29, 2017 Members Share Posted June 29, 2017 I don't understand why it has to be an either/or thing when it comes to what the MSM focuses on regarding TrumpCo. I mean, can't we talk about the misogyny AND Russia? Has MTV ruined our attention spans THAT much? And the "No one reads the New Yorker magazine" tweet from Trump should be coming in 3, 2.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted June 29, 2017 Members Share Posted June 29, 2017 So Greta is out at MSNBC!!! A flop for Andy Lack. Now lose Megan Kelly http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/06/msnbc-greta-van-susteren-part-ways 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 29, 2017 Members Share Posted June 29, 2017 Good!!! Please register in order to view this content Honestly, these Fox News "celebrities" need the rudest of awakenings. They think they have appeal that stretches beyond the channel's very narrow base; and as Greta's ouster at MSNBC proves, they don't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 29, 2017 Members Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) It's so weird. Wasn't Van Susteren at CNN before she went to FXNC? I remember once thinking it would be weird for her to go to make the switch from CNN but, I guess the money was right and switch she did, with aplomb! Also strange that anyone, let alone NBC would be banking on Kelly to be a 'hit' on daytime TV. She has never struck me as the type that had a daytime 'personality'. Then again, she tried to compare herself to Oprah and those two never struck me as having any similarities whatsoever.

Members Roman Posted June 29, 2017 Members Share Posted June 29, 2017 she was a centrist ion CNN, and I enjoyed her show. she was factual and fair.....two qualities she dropped once she hit Fixed Noise. now my guess is she'll end up back at CNN. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted June 29, 2017 Members Share Posted June 29, 2017 The person they really need to get rid of is Andrew Lack. He keeps making programming decisions based on ideology and not ratings: Greta, Megyn, Hugh Hewitt... none of these people belong on a mainstream media outlet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 29, 2017 Members Share Posted June 29, 2017 Plus, he appears dead-set on returning Brian Williams to primetime glory. Yeah, he NEEDS to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
