Just remember Everything Trump Touches Dies

Neither Biden or Harris were members of a seditious conspiracy, or violated their oath of office like Trump did on January 6th

Your hero was asked by Bill O’Reilly this weekend which world leaders he “enjoyed speaking with the most.” Trump responded with Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong-un - “he wrote me beautiful letters, I call them love letters.”

Trump’s favorite leaders to deal with are three communist tyrants—one of whom calls the collapse of Communist Russia the greatest tragedy of the 20th Century. And just how bizarre is it that Trumplicans applaud at the mere mention of North Korea’s dictator? How Un-American can you get and then claim like Trump that you’re Patriots?

Enjoying speaking with them doesn't mean he endorsed their systems of government. He obviously doesn't endorse communism or communist governments. In the response to O'reilly he referred to Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong-un as tyrants. He said he enjoyed speaking with many world leaders, but he felt he was more successful with the tyrants. That's probably why he enjoyed them more. As you know, he likes to be, or to consider himself to be, successful.

And it's not un-American for Trump to enjoy speaking to communists. On the other hand, one might question how pro-American and anti-Communist it is to be ideologically tied to the Communist party of the USA. As in the Democrat party allowing itself to be effectively supported by the Communist Party with whom they have an almost mirror image platform:

https://cpusa.org/article/people-pow...ox-and-beyond/

And as in the Democrat Party being infiltrated by the CPUSA which affirms loyalty to Beijing:

so CNN has multiple hosts and producers exposed as jerks and perverts.

The January 6th commission recently read texts to Meadows from multiple foxnews hosts, who were urging the trump administration to do what it could, to put a halt to the january 6 riot. It appears those hosts are opposed to riots, regardless of who the rioters voted for.

on msnbc and cnn, during the summer of love riots, the hosts denied and misreported the violence or encouraged it. those rioters were anti trump, so it’s ok when they rioted.

i’m sure there are nice people and jerks at every network.

No, its usually meh. Tulsi is playing an interesting role right now for herself.

She checks a lot of boxes (women, veteran, surfer), but she keeps trying to walk this outsider/tell it like it is crowd (hence her wimpy 'present' vote on impeachment) and as a result gets a fair amount of love from the right (The S Other Forum mentions her frequently), BUT, ironically I doubt most of them realized she is far from a centrist and she is basically Bernie Sanders on many of her high profile positions.

I don't dislike many of her positions (particularly on being less of a police state for other countries and being less interventionist), but as a candidate but she may have pissed in the DNC cheerios too much to get much traction beyond the Joe Rogan demographic.

I agree there are jerks at every network but I believe you claimed CNN wasn't honest (or the hosts only read what they are told to read).

A long time CNN producer was just arrested for some pretty sick stuff…plus

Last year, Jeffrey Toobin, CNN’s chief legal analyst, was suspended by The New Yorker for masturbating while on a Zoom call with colleagues. When Zucker found out about this grotesque display, CNN did not even suspend Toobin, but instead allowed him to take a requested leave of absence. Zucker then welcomed Toobin back to CNN just a few months later.

Even more problematic, another CNN prime time news anchor, Don Lemon, currently stands accused of sexually assaulting a younger man at a Hamptons bar a few years ago. The man alleges Lemon “put his hand down the front of his own shorts, and vigorously rubbed his genitalia, removed his hand” and then shoved his fingers in the alleged victim’s face and aggressively asked if he “like[d] p***y or d**ck.” In the aftermath of the Cuomo fallout, Lemon’s alleged victim described CNN as “a predator protecting machine…rife with predators and perverts.”

Tulsi is like Liz Cheney, fell out of popularity a little on her own side, trying to make friends with the other party.

My point was, the lefties here implied that because even Liz Cheney criticizes Trump, that means Trump musty be bad. Fine. Using that same logic, if Tulsi Gabbard says that Biden and Harris are bad, they must also be bad.

"what CNN hosts where exposed as perverts? "

Cuomos status went from suspended to fired, because of accusations of sexual harassment.

And have you seen the lawsuit against Don Lemon? Not proven yet, but my God is it perverted,

Jeff Toobin as a huge pervert obviously, no ne except CNN will go near him.

And the well known producer arrested for having sex with girls as young as 7.

"I think Fox has had far more hosts fired for sexual assault/etc."

Maybe Fox can afford to fire them. CNN lets their garbage stick around.

"and those same hosts were at the same time lying and saying the insurrection wasn't a big deal"

Got video of fox hosts saying that?

Chris Cuomo said on air during the George Floyd riots, "show me where it says protests are supposed to be peaceful".

Foxnews has more than a few lying, partisan clowns for sure (Hannity is the most glaring). But from what I see, Fox has the only hosts that will criticize politicians on their side, and praise the other side for having good ideas.

You forgot to comment on the 2nd half of the quote - a quick search shows Fox had more hosts than CNN in trouble - not that I think what a host does sexually reflects on the network.

"he was fired as soon as they found out about it."

Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon, and Jeff Toobin were on air at CNN long after there were some very strange accusations made, in Toobins case we know what happened.

Paul, how many people are on the air in places other than CNN, who have masturbated in front of coworkers, during work Zoom calls?

Yes, there was lots of video so you can look up and see how dishonest they are
Chris Cuomo said on air during the George Floyd riots, "show me where it says protests are supposed to be peaceful".

Foxnews has more than a few lying, partisan clowns for sure (Hannity is the most glaring). But from what I see, Fox has the only hosts that will criticize politicians on their side, and praise the other side for having good ideas.
With the recent people leaving Fox, they have no one who doesn't deviate from the company line. And look up the videos of the hosts lying at the same time as they were sending emails to Meadows.

Tucker Carlson spent a lot of
time last week trashing mitch mcconnell and lindsay graham. he’s their 8pm anchor. same with brett baier.

what hosts at cnn and msnbc routinely disagree with powerful liberals? and criticizing joe manchin doesn’t count.
