Seriously. What a dumb rear end. the whole entire thing is on video.

It's like idiots saying "fake news" and poo poo. I don't need CNN, FOX or MSNBC to read the president's own loving tweets that demonstrably prove him to be a liar and a criminal.

How long before his tweets are called fake? Assuming he hasn't said that already.

I don't think Hannity CAN criticize Trump. Like even if he wanted to for some reason he's spent years telling his viewers and listeners that Trump is the savior and perfect and all criticism against him is fake and an attack on America. The second he says "it's disgusting what Trump did" he becomes part of the Deep State Liberal Media conspriacy hes even accused his own network of being part of.

Let's not forget that hannity personally speaks with trump over the phone every night. Trump vents to hannity every night about all that hard presidenting he has to do and how mean the fake news is. Hannity gets totally high off of how close he is to the president of the united states. He will always be 100% loyal to trump to the bitter end.

Gag. I was just over at my Dad's house and there was a begging letter from Ralph Reed and Judicial Overwatch. It was bragging about how they had uncovered the Obama administration's coverup of Benghazi, discovered Killary's private server and showed his the evil IRS targeted conservative organizations. And could he pretty please send money to help Trump make America great again?

Luckily, he's not really capable these days, and actually watches CNN and not Fox. Right before the election, (when he was functioning better) he said "What's going to happen to our country?"

It's sad that they target people with such complete bullshit. But I'm glad even with Alzheimer's he's resistant to that crap.

I agree, I'm just saying that if some bizarre twist of fate happened and Trump found the one thing Hannity actually had principles on or just couldn't defend he'd still just make excuses because that's the table he's set. Its why we had that bizarre scene where Hannity accidently got Roy Moore to admit to dating children, the entire media world referenced it, and Hannity then made excuses and argued against his own accidental journalism being one of the only major voices actively defending Roy Moore.

Because he just doesn't really have a choice in the matter. His entire schtick is "the alt left" and "deep state conspiracy" and how anyone critical is part of it. So by the very rules he convinced his audience of if he ever criticizes Trump or Trumpism then he reveals himself as a conspirator.

Again a very likpatous story
Rush is in a similar situation where he didn't support Trump during the primaries, though he never attacked or spoke ill of Trump, just said "I prefer Cruz." (I think it was Cruz, anyway.) He knew which way the wind was blowing when Trump won and immediately jumped behind him completely, since he didn't have much of a choice. Beck was the one who held out the longest and pretended to be the reasonable conservative who was just so appalled by Trump, and I don't think he ever recovered from it despite him being a full-throated Trump supporter now.

Hannity is basically part of the swamp. He has the same crooked lawyer as Trump, he used Carson to play slumlord, and acts as the president’s personal counselor at the end of each day. He’s so intrinsically biased that he’d never last on a legitimate network.

It also means that he is inseparably attached to the administration. He knows that if Trump goes down, there’s a good chance his smarmy rear end goes too.

Unlike Hannity, Tucker Carlson is able to go against Trump on occasion and still keep his MAGA fanbase because he has an actual ideology: white supremacy.

Remember that Hannity has ties to Michael Cohen, so if Fox News had any shred of ethics they'd have him recuse himself from any reporting on Trump because of the blatant conflict of interest.

I used to listen to Rick Wiles before the 2016 election for fun, out of a strange fascination for someone who is always, consistently wrong. This dude is like a pearl-clutching Christian version of Alex Jones, whose schtick is predicting the outbreak of World War III whenever something even mildly progressive happens, because God's going to use China/North Korea/Iran to punish America for being too gay. He was a huge conspiracy theorist, but always put a Evangelical twist on things, and would have people on his show talking about how the government is hiding the existence of Biblical giants and poo poo. It became less fun listening to him after the 2016 election, though, for obvious reasons.

I saw this article on Right Wing Watch and decided to check in on him, and holy poo poo, his show is just straight up Russian propaganda now. And not in the sense that most conservatives are now pretending that Russia's a good guy now just because Trump is visibly trying to buddy up with Putin - he viciously attacks any idea that Russia may have done something wrong, ever. It's constant praise of how much of a strong leader Putin is, constant assurances that Russia is a great nation that has the world's best interests at heart, and constant claims that Russia is True America's ally against the Deep State pedophiles. All while talking about how America is an evil, corrupt nation that - outside of Brave Christian Soldier Donald Trump - deserves nothing but scorn and destruction. It's difficult to get across just through text just how much he's licking that boot. It's absurd.

This, coupled with the fact that TruNews has a brand new studio and is expanding operations, kinda makes you wonder, huh? it's because of russia. he's a paid russian propagandist. they are paying him money to say these things. i am pretty sure of this.

edit: Also, after listening to a few more episodes, uh, heh, WOW he's really happy he doesn't need to pretend he's not anti-semetic anymore.

Dude?
Well, Devine was chief strategist, not campaign manager, and while he was on the same emails as manafort, the fact that the emails exist or that there was even communication isn’t what’s illegal, it’s that manafort was hiding money that the emails prove was paid to him. Also it’s not Russian, it’s Ukrainian. I don’t expect any of those nuances to be discussed in right wing circles though because they like to muddy the waters rather than clear them up so you can see the facts.

Manafort is not in trouble for talking to Russians. During the Russia investigation widespread corruption and illegal business practices by manafort were discovered, investigated, and charges were filed related to the findings.

In another addition to Sci Fi Authors Disappointing Me After 2016 (William Gibson, you are Old And It Shows), Charlie Stross retweeted that bonkers TAD DEVINE! BERNIE IS A RUSSIAN OPERATIVE! tweet as well.

It makes sense in a way; Stross' Laundry books are fun, but demonstrate a fundamental trust in powerful institutions, and belie a misunderstanding of power and the way that people slavishly devote themselves to it. The power structures that support our current societies would not cooperate to fight extradimensional or Lovecraftian threats; they would bow down and work for them.

If an Old God rose from the seas, nearly 100% of Mormons would instantly convert their worship to them. People love being told what to do, and the more they are conditioned to do so, the less problem they have transferring that obeisance to whoever's at the top of the heap currently.

Dawned on me this afternoon that Hannity's steadfast and over the top Deep State bullshit and constant conspiracy garbage, which has been over the top even by his standards, might actually be because he is indeed caught up in all this bullshit somewhere and he's creating subterfuge. For some reason, during the constant barrage of shitrain, I keep forgetting that he was listed as one of THREE clients of Cohen.

God, I'd love to see him go down. Hate, hate HATE that motherfucker. I keep trying to call his show and never even get screened. Wouldn't surprise me if his callers are all scripted actors.
