Well, I’ll give him this much: it really doesn’t help to hear from people like Gingrich, who boasts about his legacy of hate and divisiveness. So why put him on the air? Oh yeah, ratings and money, silly me.

And we have liftoff.

Predicted these words would come out earlier this morning, sort of expected it from Trump, but Newt serves as the conveyor belt of dehumanizing violent rhetoric this time. I guess it comes full circle because the GOP nonsense really accelerated under his watch.

Sigh…we are in a bad state of affairs.

If Republicans actually believe they have a strong case to make that journalists are the enemies of the American people, they should have the stones to go arrest some of them for whatever crimes have been committed, then try to make the case in court.

Weird how they don’t do that, that they instead feel the need to radicalize some crazies to do the dirty work for them. Almost like there isn’t a real case to be made except in the raw pursuit of power.

Gingrich is as compromised Lindsey and Rand Paul. Not surprising of course, coming from the author of the contract on america.

This is the son of a bitch who’s most responsible for what we see around us today. This bastard did this to us as much as anyone. Tribalization? By the media? Not likely, Newt. The media for most of your lifetime made money by having the largest circulations they could. You did this, you fucking bastard. And The Atlantic called you out on it a couple of weeks ago and they weren’t the only ones. In a sane society you’d be a spat-upon pariah.

The tribalization of cable news that Newt fought for, helped create, and now prospers from…

I am trying to decide if this blitz on the media over the bombs is a move or a reaction.

They are all swiftly piling on and without hesitation. On the face of it, these incidents are a huge, visible mark against the Right and their leadership. So as a reaction, it is a full on emergency for them to do damage control.

Republicans are fiscal frauds and can’t govern, but they are really, really good at projecting.

And you, Newt, have earned the title of fascist enemy of democracy.

They got their marching orders from the WH and like good little storm troopers are doing exactly as they have been ordered to do; “Cover Trump’s ASS on this by any means necessary!”
It’s all in the daily “Talking Points” issued by the WH to the State TV and Newspapers.

I’m old enough to remember how Pravda spoke and reacted to scandals in the USSR and this sounds EXACTLY like them back during the Soviet days.

There is also this:

Dear Newt Gingrich,

Way to victim blame, asshole! Now kindly go fornicate yourself with a baseball bat wrapped in rusted barbed wire.

Hugs and kisses!

So the suppurating hole in Gnewt Gangrenous’ face plops out another moist black morsel. Is that newsworthy?
