Fran (BG) - "Kia dealers are not necessarily honest people."

Ma'am, I used to work at a car dealership. Car dealers are not honest people - hard stop.

I'm sure I'll have more comments later in the podcast, but for now, thanks for all you do!

When McCarthy handed Tucker (not necessarily GOX) the "exclusive" of J6 footage. It was the sesame thing as giving Putin's Russia state run TV the same exclusive.

As Trump blathers Putin would never invaded Ukraine if he was president and how he alone would have made one of those
F-arts of the deal to stop it. Like just give Putin Ukraine , a country that does not belong to him. Our press ignores that as president, Trump was extorting Ukraine for the announcement of the false investigation of Biden to smear him. Trump used congress veto proof military aid as his hostage in that extortion..
Why did Ukraine need military aid then? Because Putin had already invaded Ukraine.

By all that has been made public and knowing their is worse redacted in the Dominion filings. FOX should be held harshly accountable for what it has done to that company for GOP political hackery.
I can't help thinking of the dismissed lawsuit Ticker had over his defamation lawsuit , Telling the judge , sure he lied and defamed but it is all legal and protected because he is not a journalist and no one that watches his TV show believe what he says. The judge let that be the rule.
Sad state of our justice system that the GOP continued to destroy with their stacking of the partisan ring worm infested SCOTUS.
Have you noticed, Gym Jordan has become a folk hero among his republican hose members? They defend him like he is Trump. They are highly sensitive to Jordan criticism. Including my on House GOP house representative.

All of the GOP's Dr. Frankenstein's and all the Frankenstein's Ignores showing up on the other news networks as consultants and talking heads is a business mistake they will come to regret when their viewers react.

Just know, FOX viewers homeplaces they will go. Dominion files showed even Tucker is surging the White supremacist sites, checking in with Baboon to Alex F'ing Jones to pick their info for news they want to create and feed the FOX Mosh Pit.
Not sure what the Chris Hayes Mona Charin segment was, other than convincing people that not all republicans are Alex Jones or the J6 horned Chaman. That there are decent Democracy republicans supporters that we just can't see?
Besides Liz Cheney's clear affressive stance to bring to justice the J6 perpetrators. She legislated against democratic systems and policies and her idea of government is , it is there for the wealthy people to keep the people in their place.
Maybe FOX fires Paul Ryan as one of the fall guys? Karma.New ‘Spanish Fox News’ Network Just Got A Big FL Distribution Deal
Like its Fox News role model, Americano Media provides misinformation and extremism, just for Spanish speakers.

Americano Media, which launched last year, “is embarking on an aggressive expansion plan to shape center-right Hispanic opinion” for the 2024 presidential race, Politico reported in January. CEO and founder Ivan Garcia-Hidalgo, a 2020 Trump-campaign surrogate was quoted as saying the network “intends to be” a “Fox News in Spanish.”?

OK, I have all the patience I need with Jack Smith and Merrick Garland, who are very good at what they do and know much better than I do when indictments should be brought. I want them to do their jobs so well that the defense doesn't stand a chance. What I have zero patience for is breathless "The first time in history an ex-president has been indicted" coverage aiming to make these cases into more than the goddamn crimes they are. Yes, already, this is the first time an ex-president has faced such charges. That is not the fault of the prosecutors, the DOJ, or the Democrats. It is the fault of the criming bastard that got installed in the white house for four ugly years. If he had taken a massive dump on the good tablecloth, we wouldn't want the clean up staff to just stand around discussing the unprecedented nature of the turds, would we?
The shit they are trying to pull in Georgia, on the other hand, should disqualify any of them from holding public office again ever. "Prosecutors may be "woke" so we need to be able to remove them at our whim." That's some straight up fascist shit there, and we should hang it around their necks with abortion and the rest of their goddamn fascist agenda and beat them with it at the ballot box.
Thank you again for the podcast. Around eight feet of snow, then somewhere around ten inches of rain. Got a few of those inches, the rest on its way.
When I was three, we had a similar weather pattern, which is now commonly referred to as "the 64 flood" in which the whole north part of the state was washed down to the sea. Contributing to the disaster back then were destructive logging practices that haven't been happening in recent decades, but entirely absent from that scenario are the millions upon millions of acres of burn scar currently having ten or so feet of snow washed off of them.
It could be historically ugly, is what I'm trying to say. I just hope Briana manages to dig the car out and drive it to the grocery store tomorrow.

Hey dinthebeast,

I get sow every year and have come to the notion that I prefer to mow my lawns verses snow blowing and shoving snow. Just my preference. Mother Nature doesn't seem to consider.

I am with you on the indicting of the Trump and every single insurrectionist that participated in stripping me of my vote
just because they joined a Cult and have their "beliefs".

I have beliefs too but I reason my respect of others rights and freedoms which is not given to me from them.
Remember, Nixon was a sitting president . They made a deal for him to resign as if what crime he did , his debt to society would be simply resigning and losing his job as president. As he retreated to San Clemente (like MAR A Lago_ where he lived out his life denying crimes and telling us if the president does it, that means it is legal.
This led to Reagan escaping his crimes, GW Bush and Cheney escaping their crimes. Yet Bill Clinton having consensual sex out of wedlock as resident was the crime of the century.
Excusing those crimes absolutely led to Trump's evasions and this, "must be so careful to prosecute an ex president because it has not been done before.
We reacted after 9/11 which was not done before. Unless you don't count Pearl Harbor.
We all watched all the low level people prosecuted and convicted for the Abu Garib crimes of humanity by America which approved at the highest level. That Scooter Libby was the fall guy for Dick Cheney when Cheney ordered him to crime. As Ong as I known our justice system it has always been split. Justice for the wealthy/connected and another justice system of harsh punishment for the peons. What you describe over Trump and Jack Smith so far only tells me this justice system has become much worse in the two systems divide of crimes and punishment.

It is also evident in the way the media across the board states that the Russian invasion began in 2021. When in fact, Russia invaded and the war in Ukraine had began When Trump was busy extorting Ukraine using hostage of military aid that congress approved to Ukraine with a veto proof vote.
But even the MSNBC says the war began in 2021 and Our EX president runs out flapping his mouth that Putin would have never invaded Ukraine if he was president. It is obvious Putin needed Trump in office for his invasion of Ukraine. His undermining of NATO, his extorting a desperate Ukraine under attack for announcing lies against Biden/ The list is ling.

May have to parachute a supplies in or have helicopters deliver supplies for people stranded. Stock that pantry.
