Nobody in the history of the English language has said,

and actually meant to give any respect.

I desperately try to ignore the critter, but there’s a little goblin sitting on my left shoulder that keeps trying to convince me that Scalise deserved being shot on the baseball field.

ETA: Trump and this current crop of Republican lawmakers are turning me into a horrible person with even more horrible thoughts.

Steve Scalise—David Duke without the baggage—is a brazen, bald-faced liar.

He lies with the ease of long practice, and his lies are as predictable as sunrise and sunset.

Scalise is hoping his illogical herd of supporters won’t realize that fact witnesses aren’t jurors. But ultimately his supporters aren’t the ones who will make the determinative judgements.

“Sir, with all due respect…” Wallace responded.

Cockroaches fleeing desiccated corpses hidden under motel beds deserve more respect than Scalise.

Is Wallace aiming to jump ship to CNN? Fox is taking on a lot of water.

I tried using that expression with the wrong professor the last time at age 24. Never looked back.

To be fair, if they admitted to everything, they’d all be in the slammer for conspiracy.

I suspect your mistake was the subordinate clause: “With all due respect, you clueless bastard…”

Sit. Rep…

Think back to the Halcyon spring-summer days of waiting for the likes of Munch-kin to release Trump’s tax returns. And even worse obstruction happening…

Fast Forward to NOW.

Great, isn’t it?

Yep. With all due respect means no respect is due.

Good for Wallace, he knew what the lies were going to be, and he was ready.

Unlike most Fox employees, he could get a job elsewhere.

I’m not quite there yet, but I feel they are dragging us down to their level at times and we must resist that. We must also stop them before they achieve that goal.
