JFC indeed.
That wasn't my complaint....lying and hyopciccy are my issue with her.

Interesting.

She really must have done her job well!
All three were rather despicable examples of how to pump false narratives far beyond 'spin' and into the realm of crazy. But absolutely representative of the current Republican deterioration into a party of insanity.

Remember, Trump is not what made the party what it is today - he is just the logical next step in a group of people who will do pretty much whatever lying it takes to maintain its grip on power given its minority status instead of evolving to match the actual electorate as a whole.

It is likely to get worse before it gets better.

Cosmo, Cosmo, Cosmo. I loathe McEnany because she did her job so badly.

Laughable. More live Pot meet Anvil. Your Network has been showing non-stop "Dr. Seuss is cancelled" segments. Fox is the white grievance channel. MSNBC may be slanted in terms of editorial policy, but at least it traffics in news.

When not broadcasting Dr. Seuss and "cancel culture" segments, they give Greg Abbott a platform to deflect from his recent weather-related screw ups by blaming "migrants" and "immigrants" for spreading Covid...not long after someone decided to waltz into a Walmart and shoot as many latinos as he could. The GOP is a cancer on the country now. Fox News is its cell-splitter.

I do not watch cable news very often, and when I do it’s usually MSNBC or CNN just to learn what Is NOT really going on but what they want your types to absorb 😉. I do occasionally listen to The Five, my dang wife likes listening to them, but that is often my queue to start dinner, prep the outdoor fire, or go exercise.

There is one thing I’ve noticed about you over the years seacoaster, you really are an all around good guy.

I agree with you. Coaster really is an all around good guy. He has persuaded me to the dark side more times than I would ever admit. My saving grace is I often fall asleep before I can finish reading one of his posts. That is not because they are boring. It is because they never seem to have an ending.

One word of unsolicited advice to you coaster... Brevity, if you can say what you want in one paragraph then go for it.
I use to be a people person until people ruined that for me.

Sorry Coaster, I'm so close to being retired. I ain't gotta work for nothing anymore. All I ask is you work your ass to the bone to give me what I'm entitled to. I'm starting to adapt pretty well to this FLP line of horsechit.

Fox News is no longer the #1 cable news network. 2 months in a row both CNN and MSNBC have passed them.

Morning drive-time Sirius-XM radio focus...Friday March 5, 2021

MSNBC

Why Fox News is focused on Dr. Suess instead of the Covid Relief Bill
J&J - Merck collaboration agreement a success for effective progressive government
Cruz, Cotton & Johnson keep comparing Black Lives Matter protests to the Capitol Riot

Fox News

GOP defends Neanderthals, the "real hunter-gatherers"
Why SHOULDN'T Gov DeSantis give vaccines to his donors??
Scalise: "Every Single American Should be Outraged by H.R. 1"

Whoo Boy... :roll:

What that means is more people like me are getting rid of cable and cutting the cord from the 24 hour cable news nitwits. I only have 3 options of media brainwashing disguised as the news.

Yeah, daffodils this time of year (in Rochester) are a lot like Trumpublicans...they take their little heads outta (their rump) the ground thinking everything is safe and sound and end up looking like the Wicked Witch of the West, all shriveled and twisted...when their lunatic fringe ideas of how to govern get laughed out of the room...!

The gardens at our new house are gonna look like a jungle this spring...Mrs. Dis couldn't pass a plant sale last year without filling up the trunk, so i may have to finally (mostly) retire from reffing to keep up with the gardens.

Mr Dis. I humbly bow to your infinite wisdom this one time. My baby daffodils now sprouting up could resemble your narrow minded interptation of what Republicans believe.
