Beltway Media Zombies Cannot Help Themselves: Chris Matthews Edition


They're hardwired to be this way -- 

-- which is why it wouldn't shock me to see Matthews follow the Howard Kurtz career path of 1) cratering one's career on the slightly-more-reputable side of cable teevee news only to 2) bob back to the surface over at the Fox News propaganda abattoir like an unflushable turd . 

After all, Fox has a long record of hiring mainstream news has-beens, giving them a quick tuck-and-roll and then rolling them out to add a light dusting of respectability for an octogenarian audience who kinda sorta vaguely remembers them as being trusted and "newsish" back in the day.

Princess Sparkle Pony predicted that Fergus couldn't last two days without fully trashing her, and to his point, Fergus is already out there with conspiracy theories about who actually wrote her last request, and when and why.
He can't help himself, and he certainly can't help us.
Meanwhile, back in the apocalypse, the kindly old dentist who has been taking care of all of my friends' teeth (and who had offered to make me a set of dentures on credit) just died of fucking covid.
I hope Fergus' balls drop off into his shoe and he steps on them.
Yes. as a matter of fact I am Irish, why do you ask?

When Mitch McYertle (R-Sala-ma-Sond) was being inflicted on us by Even the Liberal MSNBC an hour or so ago, with the sound off so we mercifully couldn't hear what "dirty tricks" he was alleging the "Democrat Party" might perpetrate*, my kindly gray-haired mother expressed the wish that someone steal all Moscow Mitch's botox shots so his entire fucking face falls off. (Okay, she said "collapses", not "falls off", and the gerund and the word before it are likewise my interpolation, but those are just details.)

* Either to provide a cloud of squid ink for when the Trumputinistas actually fucking pull that evil shit, or as a wish list of what they'd love to do if they didn't have too many eyes on them to get away with it.

Matthews: "Trump is right to show respect for RBG. True presidential behavior. Far too rare."

WTF!! Do you BOTH want a cookie now?!

"Trump is right to show respect for RGB. True Presidential behaviour. Far too rare from this President who regularly shits on every traditional norm as easily as breathing"

Matthews must have messed up the second part of the tweet. Funny thing is he still had 199 characters left… must be his age with technology.

This 75 year old man who has been a political pundit for a quarter century and hosted his own show for much of that time. So upon losing his show on MSNBC, he can't simply spend more time with his family or travel or pursue his hobbies, instead he has to prop up an inhuman monster occupying the White House just to stay on TV. He will support a man who is destroying our country 10 different ways just to keep a TV gig!! Chris Matthews is a traitor to his country. He deserves nothing less than to have Brad Pitt and B.J. Novak hold him down and carve MAGA into his forehead.

Why are people all surprised that republicans are doing republican things for their wealthy owners.
Damn, FDR went through this legal court rules the day BS. Lindsey Graham has never been honorable as far as I have seen him in congress. His impeach Clinton for mutual sex between two adults.. But extorting Ukraine? Voting not to allow witnesses for the American people to hear in a trail. An impeachment trial and he sits on the Senate Judiciary as chairman? He is confirming judges?
There wealthy owners do not give a damn how they appear to us as corrupt assbags. The bought them and demand their blow jobs and if they want the courts so to rule owning people like the good old days to make labor cheaper to improve their profits. By Lying Ted that is what they want. Return to Hoover and the great SCOTUS of the Great Depression.

As we know, the GOP did not obstruct the ACA from being passed. Tjey took it to a conservative court they believed would be loyal to party and its bi donors and lost.
So much for frivolous lawsuits should be banned. They called for repeal and replace. Over 60 votes to repeal and zero votes on a replacement. Never offering publicly an health care plan of replacing that was voted and agreed by every republican.
2017, house Senate and white House and voted on repeal the ACA and failing. Where was the RPLACEMENT !!! Someday when they got around to it, after they got their medical bankruptcy quota for the century?

Look, here is a you tube link to copy and paste. The wrath Alan Grayson took for his "Get sick and die quickly republican health care plan.
Watch how Alan Grayson is treated for being plain honest. How can you say that about republicans?? Oh my God, Carvelle and Wolf are besides themselves for the GOP's hurt feelings.
Watch this.
