All of TV is going to have a big problem in a few decades, younger viewers simply aren't watching TV like the olds do.

I'd like to institute a poll test. It'll consist of one question.

About how much of the news you consume do you receive from Facebook?

a) None
b) Some
c) Most
d) All

If Trump managed to drive people away from Fox News, I’d be thrilled (if only to watch Murdoch and the GOP’s evil propaganda baby die), but at the same time his chuds will go running to the Only rear end in a top hat Nazi News channel and that’s arguably worse.

It’s like the whole snu snu sketch from Futurama where I’m both smiling and terrified.

I sorta hope this happens if he loses the race in November; he bombs out and starts shifting blame on anything and everything that ever gave him flack on his side, targets Fox News as the prime culprits for the two times they actually disagreed with his choices, causes viewership to sink considerably.

I dont think Fox News could take that hit very well after they've been spoon feeding their viewers Trump propaganda for so many years, it would be a hilarious way for the network to implode. Like they'll still be around and such, nothing dies overnight, it'll just be a white dwarf beginning to explode before collapsing into a black hole.

This is great for the Senate GOP, though, right? Call the witnesses like most of the country wants, then let Trump sink his approval rating by making it obvious how much he doesn’t anyone to eat what Bolton has to say until either the levee breaks and Trump can be safely stood against or until the GOP faithful agree that you shouldn’t hear new evidence, and then they can sweep it under the rug without taking a hit.

The problem is Roberts could make a ruling right there on the floor, making a court fight null and void. Even if he refused they could fast track the legal battle just like with Nixon which in a slower time took 3 weeks. We could get it done in half the time now.

As it is making an effort to block not only looks incredibly guilty but also Trump and Bolton have both waved privilege. I am sure it is just bluffing to try and get GOP Senators to hold the line.

I have a feeling that the witness vote is never going to hit 51, it's going to jump straight to 53-55 because that will help the GOP avoid one person being the target of trump's wrath alone

I’m kind of torn on this because I can see the GOP wanting to spread the blame, but also entering a prisoner’s dilemma scenario where nobody wants to be in the “anti-Trump” group.

This is going to be wild to watch, regardless of the outcome.

“We can’t let these witnesses testify about our innocence!”

For a lot of smart people, this definitely makes Trump and co look extremely guilty. For the chuds I’m sure they’re saying that this is a brilliant chess move to not cater to the Libtard agenda.
