    the murderers who were already sentenced to life without parole were convicted again. The feds were so brave letting the state prosecutors do all the hard work

    " 'Rittenhouse told Carlson that the inspiration for launching his fund was to help hold other organizations and people "accountable for what they did to me because I don't want to see anybody have to go through what I went through.' "

    Of course, he takes no responsibility for his own actions. Also, his talking points sound an awful lot like TFG's. Yikes. He is truly an evil Mini-TFG.


    Don't make me come up there. Seriously, I know some of the people on phone pressers were asking me to repeat myself just to hear me talk (or they couldn't understand me.)

    Why works that lose you your lady card? Sounds like that would upgrade your status to “She whom you will not piss off”

    I don't know much about lawsuits, but one thing I do know is when you have airtight cases against rich people that will, at the very least, end up with fat out-of-court settlements, you always have to go around begging for funds to get things started because lawyers hate to take on cases that amount to easy paydays.

    I'd like you better, but perhaps a comparison other than Chelios. He is an asshole. My mother had to deal with Chelios a few times through work. This woman, who rarely ever said a bad word about anyone, had many of them about him. Most of them focused on him being rude and inconsiderate.

    Apologies for the tangent. I was just telling the full story yesterday, and I'm looking up at the signed Mario Lemieux jersey she got me around that time as I type this.

    I like that story!
    Chelios is something. He's supposedly still mad at Ovechkin for kneeing him. Years ago I asked Ov8 and he didn't seem to remember it. I believe him, but that could be a function of personal bias and my belief that he's not a very good actor. FWIW, Shea Weber could easily turn Teddikins into a grease spot on the floor and not incur a rise in his heart rate. However, he's also a walking amalgam of Dudley Do-Right and every Canadian Nice stereotype you can think of. He'd try to talk him into being a better person first. ::sigh:: I might delete this later on. Not comfortable dishing.

    Imagine that, giving the audience what they want.

    And that audience, while large compared other talk shows, is tiny. Over 4 million people watch that stupid shit. There are 168,000,000 registered voters in the USA. He’s talking to same small minority of would be sex offenders and racists every night. It’s only large when considering the competition. Or is it?

    Over 8 million watch NBC Nightly News. About 22 million watch one of the 3 network news shows nightly. Why are we a still averse in comparing cable news to network news? You think there are peckerwoods that cant afford to watch FOX but watch Network News Nightly staring Jewy McBlack Person?

    When you consider all the consumers of news, or opinion, Carlson reaches the same group of scumbags. I’d venture to guess that his viewers are, on average, less wealthy with less disposable income, that the consumers of news and opinion on ABC CBS NBC CNN MSNBC.

    The fascist republican party has weaponized FoxNews? Or Fox has weaponized the republican primary voter, which in 2016 was about 28 million people.

    One of the networks needs to get its shit together, do a marketing survey and see if being overtly partisan pays?
