Trump’s Shifting Fealty: POTUS Punches Fox’s Shep Smith As He Promotes OANN | Talking Points Memo

Poor Shep I wonder when he’ll get the F&F treatment and then the ax.

Of course Trump would chafe under Shep Smith’s “fair and balanced” scrutiny. Trump is looking for a compliant propaganda outlet fully under his control. When Smith and Chris Wallace exercise any semblance of neutral analysis, they need to be stamped down and reminded of their corporate master’s marching orders.

Hannity and Carlson were seen marching outside the White House with tiki torches, chanting, “You will not replace us!”

Well Donnie…if that’s where YOU are getting your ‘information’ I don’t think they’ll be a mass exodus over to OANN. SANE people in this country know you either a) don’t have a clue or b) just make sht up.

Hannity wants everywhere to be a bunker/prison.
Tucker says it’s all a hoax and he came damned close to saying the shootings were faked. No wonder he was told to GTFO and go on vacation of a while…

It only works if we follow Trump down the rabbit hole…and hand-wringing won’t do it. I was encouraged by some of the commentary I heard from El Paso. Trump is a punch-down person. He feeds off of his victims’ fear.

Now, more of his victims are not just fearful.

trump is a classic bully who goes after the vulnerable and weakest among us. I can feel the anger here in Tucson against him. It’s palpable. I’ve heard neighbors mutter “pendejo” and worse under their breath when talking about him.

Too obvious.

I know someone who has found this OANN channel and has been watching it. He’s changing and not for the better. I tried to tell him, but he won’t listen. He’s not a nut job but I guess he soon will be.

OANN is practically a subsidiary of Russia Today. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

The two Latinos on Lawrence’s show were superb last night. They were so mad they got to speaking Spanish.

And “anger” was the keynote response for that city.

Constructive determination to rid us of this scourge named Trump will get us through
