Good morning, Mr. Glass.
A piece of constructive criticism: to do Mark Levin's voice properly, you have to imagine a 62-year-old man whose testicles never dropped. Not sure if you can raise your voice that high, but that's the goal.
Be seeing you.

You know who got "cancelled"? Shirley fucking Sherrod, that's who got cancelled.
I sort of made a thing this week of commenting whenever a new Lincoln Project video went up and saying "Yes, the ads are nice, but please make no mistake about what these fucks' plans are for the moment Fergus is out of the way."
Didn't get any hostile responses, either. Don't know whether that is because the hostiles on that subject don't type real good, or if perhaps more folks understand who they really are than I thought.
Yesterday, up at the old mill pond, there were six or seven teenage white boys hanging around the little dock and diving into the water.
I had forgotten just how obnoxious white boys get when there are no women around. I was nowhere near them and still got more information about the state of their gonads than I ever wanted.
I really hope I wasn't that bad when I was their age, and I kinda don't think I was, in part because I hung around people older than me a lot, and my brother was a biker, and those folks don't tend to put up with that shit gladly.
Roger got commuted. I'll spare you the horrible joke I made yesterday about prison and Nixon tattoos.
Sara promised last week that she had more cat pictures for you, but then I haven't heard from her since, so I'm thinking of sending you a goose picture instead. I'll give her a couple more days.
Thank you again for the podcast. As the country descends into plague and chaos, Fergus wants to open the schools as if everything was just ducky. To that I say "Where is Barron going this fall, and are they taking any virus precautions?" Because if they are, Fergus needs to shut the fuck up about it.

An aside on life boats. The network CEO's decision makers who that feel this consumer yearnings that cannot get enough of FOX or FOX mold light. Are they comforting their company owners to keep their jobs?

Notice how it does not matter how many advertisers pull out of running their ads on the EVA Braun hate hour or the I am not a racist but a proud white nationalist who happens to align with the KKK.
They are kept on air.
So much for completion in the market. So much for FOX being a "News" business. It is the same right wing socialism that provided the Limp0Paw all that air time even when other local media shows beat Rush in the market with large numbers.
It is like the nepotism failure of hiring the dumb ass relative who is NOT qualified and cannot ever grasp his job position and requires a long list of fall guy stooges.

How is it justifiable to bail out an entity like FOX who employees do not have to ad profit to the company? Their product does not bring in dollars and the company has a hole in the rubber air raft. Keeps blowing air in to stay afloat.
Where does that air come from? Tax exemptions? wealthy executives and donors?

I am sure a tax audit would show us.

In my opinion the Countdown show with Worst persons in the world. took on even the FOX's Billo, Hannity, the Loyie Gohmerts and yes, for balance the democratic con politician when needed..
FOX in the network circle continues to be held as a legitimate NEWS network with "a few bad apples"
Is it the media industry workers see FOX as a last resort for a paycheck? A place to start a career?

Shep Smith moved on. The Megan K and her White Santa failings that got to run its course.

FOX is waning like the TEA Party phenom. With Sinclair, OANN, KKK news, RT, feeding off the FOX.
There is this club for print media where the Goldbergs, Brooks, Sullivans, Cal Thomass even the Coultergeist were given entitlements to fail upward and did so very profitably.

They live off the republican quotas to make white stupid rich kids with all the inherited privileges that were incompetent so that they became dependent on their birth parents. Those parents fund and use their positions to nepotist their kids into "jobs".

Right wing media lifeboats are going to be an Armada if Biden wins election because then and only then do they fully achieve their anger of ignorance and imaginary fears .

A Biden White house should not give the OANN, Sinclair or the FOX white house press passes.

They won't report. They will twist and out of context and spin into nefarious flatulent outrage.
Now that Executive Orders can be used in what GOP called abuse. Go for it.

And please, pass laws in stone to scrutinize the moronic confirmation system that brought us to the Moron-O-sphere of Ditsey Devos. Tax payers need some issuance that who gets paid are actually qualified and qualifications have nothing to do with being a inheritance brat who became a long time political party big donor.
I would want to see Trump be re impeached. If the Senate and house go to Democrats even with Trump out of office.
We let Nixon off. Just like Roger Stone. Reagan was excused for his Iran Contra. Clinton got spanked for having consensual sex out of marriage between two adults. GW Bush and Cheney were given a pass and SCooter Libby jail time was commuted and there was not COVID19 reason. . Obama was given years of a Colonoscopy (as Benghazi (HRC / Obama Se of State).

The right wing has pushed this Unitary presidency crap for too long. When GOP is in minority, they are all about restricting the majority, So much so, they have come to their apex that Democratic elected officials are not allowed to legislate or govern.
We see it in every state that got a Democratic Governor and the state legislature remained GOP. The Legislatures start passing laws to remove all the powers the legislated and gave the GOP Governors. And remove any governor powers they can. Obstruct any Democratic legislation the governor moves for. Even when 99% of the state citizens loudly stand with the Governor.

One Senator from Wyoming with 1,000 constituents has more power than two senators from a 40 time populated state . meaning in a republican majority like right now exists in the Senate. No citizen who has a democratic senator has any representation but gets the honor of paying for it.
