President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Normally Trump would outline his budget plan in the State of the Union. All his various spokesmen would put on a full court press getting the details out. Then the plan would be delivered to Congress.

Yeah, it's odd.

 

Hahahahahahaha. Riiiiight. Pull the other one, it's got bells on.

 

Newt and Hannity, sitting in a tree ...

 

You better pray that never really starts happening. I generally just let your posts go by, but that kind of talk makes my skin crawl. All it takes is one loony to start a bunch of dominoes falling. One psycho with a gun and a grudge. He shoots Chief Justice Roberts, or Hillary, or George Soros, or Richard Bannon, whoever. Another screwloose from the other side decides to even the score and stalks someone he hates. That sets aside one group shooting others randomly, starting a literal class or race war.

Be Careful.

 

Glad Fox did the right thing. And in the process gave a big FU to Hannity and Newt.

How long before Hannity goes to work for Trump? Well, getting paid by the White House. He's already working for Trump.

 

As of 45 minutes ago, Hannity was still tweeting about Kim Dotcom and Seth Rich.

 

It brings up this question, though: Does this stop Hannity? I don't know how much, if any, Fox has over individual shows beyond "Republicans good, Democrats bad!"

I want to ask if he'll take Spicey's gig, but I think he'd be put into something with a higher profile, like Kellyanne.

 

Since the story has been retracted and the Rich family is very angry, Hannity might wind up in litigation if he keeps it up, and Fox would have every justification for saying it won't stand behind him.

 

Considering he's a hack, I assume Hannity will go scorched earth unless he's ordered to cool it.

Don't know how long it will last, but Fox is hurting in the ratings. Beaten by MSNBC.

Fox appears to be suffering in it's position as state-run media. People apparently want actual news, not propaganda.

Having said that, all of cable news still largely sucks.

 

Very very low

 

Opposition drives ratings. If Hillary had won, Fox would be No. 1 by a mile.

 

Hannity is a trumpbitch and will just double down. Refuse to acknowledge anything in error. Never back down. And eventually the media will keep repeating the lies, even if to disprove it. As long as the story remains out there, the liar and the lie stays viable.
