I was clicking around on my TV channels early last evening and ABC was doing its best “OJ Simpson” helicopter coverage of the Cheeto Mussolini cavalcade. Breaking news: Moron stops for hamberders and spouts more lies. Brought to you live by the lamestream media. They just can’t quit Dumpf!

So Kelly thinks TFG is “scared s——less.” Stock up on popcorn, snackies, and your favorite beverage and then buckle up, settle in, and get ready for a turbulent flight.

Just plain cruelty
‘We have to stigmatize it’: Fox host launches vicious attack on unhoused Americans - Alternet.org

Fox News host Jesse Watters on Tuesday encouraged his network’s predominantly right-wing audience to “stigmatize” unhoused Americans. During his rant, Watters asserted that demonizing human beings is a necessary tactic to end what he suggested was a choice.

“You can’t celebrate people with purple hair, with nose rings, four kids with four different men who are dressed like trash, and make them out to be some sort of cutting-edge heroes,” Watters continued. "You have to call them what they are. These are people that have failed in life and they’re on their deathbed, and if we’re not honest about it, we’re never gonna fix this problem.

Why is DeSantis vowing to dismantle the FBI?

  1. So that GOP political hacks like himself can commit crimes with impunity;
  2. The FBI is in charge of counterintelligence. By dismantling it, DeSantis seeks to enable his paymasters in the Kremlin to commit espionage on a wholesale basis.

This is exactly what @txlawyer has been saying for a few days now. It’s like getting tomorrow’s legal news today.

Personally, I think this is the backup plan Jack Smith has in place should Cannon once again play loosey-goosey with the facts, the evidence, and her responsibilities as judge.
