Thank you for your heroic duty in watching this special so that we don’t have to. I’m sure it was especially special.

What a nut job.

And this is precisely why we’ve watched them undermine and hamstring the FBI and intelligence communities and why they want the FISA court gone. With them out of the way, constantly pulling shit like this to perpetuate a stranglehold over the WH will be easy peasy.

Barr is going to announce an investigation into it. Guaranteed.

And voila, the conversion to fascist state that prosecutes dissent will be complete.

We just have to focus that we are normal people and they are not.

Has Giuliani yet registered as a foreign agent?

One thing is now clear, he does indeed live in Cloud Cuckoo Land

In a related story, Trump insisted on holding tonight’s rally in Battle Creek, Michigan, because he thinks Cocoa Puffs are made there and … you know …

That’s the second question. The first is: Has Trump?

The three-hour-long, often disjointed special aims to debunk the facts behind the impeachment inquiry…
The allegations don’t make sense, and frequently contradict themselves. Watching the series, it becomes clear that OAN failed to do basic research in numerous areas.

Well the obvious conclusion is that there are no white boards, post-it-notes, string, and dry erasers to be found in Ukraine and OAN’s offices.

I watched all three hours too. What a mess. It was loaded with easily checked mistakes, such as Michael Isikoff wasn’t a reporter for the New York Times and he didn’t write the Times story about the Black Ledger.

She never mentions what Paul Manafort was doing in Ukraine or why his client, Victor Yanukovych, was overthrown or escaped to Russia with billions.

The entire thing was trash.

Speaking of whack-a-doddle crooks and crocks:

So of course only checked to see of St. Louis was one of the 7, nope, but K.C is.

THREE HOURS? Quantity does not equate quality.

Giuliani met with Trump on Friday, and reportedly told him the results of his travels. The former NYC mayor is also expected to release a report from the trip.

America’s Mayor mudslinger better pray to whatever deities he believes in that a Democratic President is not elected in 2020.

If he no longer has the protection of Bill “Roy Cohn” Barr the Sovereign District of New York will go after him with all the legal firepower at it’s disposal.

“…So You Don’t Have To”

I see what you’re trying to do Mr. Josh but with a suspicious-sounding last name. You don’t want us to watch because you’re afraid we’ll find out how evil Biden is and how justified Trump is in wanting to know what’s going on.

And what about those documents?

ONAN News has the truth in hand and soon they’ll be spewing it all over America.

It was the smear ‘documentary’ Hillary The Movie that brought us Citizens United.

I felt the review in the Houston Chronicle “You’ll take off like a rocket ship to the Moon of Laughter” was off-base.
