So many are leaving Fox News Channel these days that it's not inconceivable that maybe someone else would defect. Or is it only women? Will the network have any women left soon?

 

They'll always have women. It's not Fox if there isn't some skinny chick wearing a sleeveless dress sitting on the set with her legs tightly crossed.

I'm sure you're right. There will always be a woman in need of a job and willing to put up with even the most horrendous work environment.

I only saw half of the press conference (way more than I needed to.)

 

After watching President Obama's speech last night, I am truly embarrassed to be an American under Trump's leadership.  With his arms flailing, screaming "fake news" and blurting out things like "wall", I'm disgusted.

 

I  honestly can't believe that this is reality and not just a bad dream.Putin's apparent ownership of Trump is horrifying, and brings me back to my sophmore year in high school when my Biology teacher used to do "Duck and Cover" drills that they did back in the fifties. He was doing it as a gag. This pompous windbag is going to bring the need to learn these behaviors again.

 You know how bad he is when the President of Mexico says he can't take him seriously

 

 

 

He's been saying that for over a year.

On a different note, Rubio impressed me with his questioning of Tillerson during the confirmation hearings today.  I still can't stand his hypocrisy, but at least he's not blindly towing the Republican line.

 

His points pretty much were the Republican line, especially the huffing and puffing about Cuba. Media darling Marco always knows what to say and do to get the press fainting in the aisles. They care more about helping him than about anything else in this situation. Some things never change.

Fox News anchors, both male and female, come a dime a dozen.  As soon as one is gone, another always arrives to take his or her place.

...So, it was a wealthy Republican donor who hired a research firm (made up of former journalists) to compile a dossier on Trump in the first place?  Very interesting.

Rubio is trying to set himself up to run for POTUS in 4 yrs. IMPO.

And the media will do anything to make it happen, just like the last time. Disgusting.

For anyone who is curious or not fully informed about exactly what gerrymandering and redistricting is and why former Attorney General Eric H. Holder (who will soon be joined by President Obama) has started an organization dedicated to redrawing the district maps, this article presents a bit more information.

Thanks. Without gerrymandering we wouldn't be where we are today (on the road to hell). Unfortunately efforts against this end up going nowhere, or get blocked by the courts (as in NC lately). I hope he can help.

To quote the great Michael McDonald: "They say it's a hopeless fight, but I say I gotta try."

Even if Trump finds some way of coercing Mexico into paying for the wall (and I don't completely rule out that possibility), that will make us terrible bullies.  I find it so ironic that the kids at that middle school got in trouble for shouting "build the wall" at their Latino classmates when all they were doing is imitating the adults around them, including the President! I just can't...ugh!

It's sickening what that man's election has done to this country.  Hate and discrimination has the endorsement of the Oval Office...
