Don Lemon came up with a great name for the GOP: the QOP. Says it all quite nicely. When Republicans give Greene-Taylor a partial standing ovation and spent most of their time haranguing Cheney who is farther right than Genghis Khan, it’s obvious there’s a problem.

PS: Maybe Rep. Jacqui Speirs (& maybe others) beat Don Lemon to the punch. But the main point is that I didn’t come up with it, and I wish I had!

We can all sleep easy its all been an act and the Trumpster has been acting out the role of president, none of its real.
He has quit the actors guild and officially retired from movies...

He only got into Home Alone 2 b/c he made a cameo part of the price of filming in his hotel. His cameo made into that film but when he used the same strategy with other films, his cameo was left on the cutting room floor.

SNL learnt their lesson when they had him as a guest host. The comedians discovered that he had no sense of humour and he went through the set of jokes they’d put together for him and used his infamous Sharpie to put a line through them all. All he wanted to do was “jokes” about how rich he was (in his own lunchtime).

Ha ha! Right-wingers love to whinge about cancel culture and bemoan the loss of their right to free speech (aka the right to humiliate and cancel anyone they don’t like).

Fox News uses this sort of whining to fill its shows. But now they’ve cancelled and silenced Lou Dobbs despite his show being their top-ranked show. To silence him even further, Fox News will warehouse him: he’ll be paid under his contract to make sure he can’t just move his show to rival cable channels Newsmaxx or OAN. Whatever happened to Fox’s hatred of cancel culture and silencing political speech?

Of course, the reason why Dobbs has been warehoused is that he’s a far right conspiracy nut who was pushing Trump’s election fraud lies. Now that 2 of the voting machine companies are suing Fox and other Trump co-conspirators for billions of dollars, Fox is realising its hosts’ free speech might actually be very costly indeed  Big Grin

There's a tactic the right wing media use in Australia of making a false claim, trying to get some mud to stick, then when challenged or sued, they cough or some dough or issue a "heartfelt" apology. Miranda Devine did it with Quaden Bayles, Peta Cretin did it with Kevin Rudd recently, and Alan Jones has done it repeatedly over the years. As low rent as it gets.

It's a tactic used by many radicals and anarchists on all sides of politics to poke the bear!

I'm not sure they want the mud to stick, but no doubt they do want to get a reaction.

But in fairness to all those people, institutes and entities, Trump took this to whole new level because he doesn't even require it to have a semblance of truth! At least the rest of them seem to construct conspiracies that at least have some cursory evidence, correlation or connection, even if it is easily debunked.

Absolutely.

Get that click-bait out there, get those clicks happening, get those ratings up, rake in the loot and keep your job... your job being opportunism, manipulation, exaggeration and drama to get attention... at the expense of accountability, ethics, integrity, decency and intelligence.

One day, in a moment of rare clarity, she will look in the mirror and mutter, "What the fck have I become? I've sold my soul."

Election fraud lies? Hardly. Greatest fraud ever perpetrated in/on a western nation.
