I kept waiting for one of the hosts to ask if he was actually going to try to run with a position that it's impossible to negotiate with someone who's position consists entirely of calling people names. But they never did. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, Graham would have whined like the baby he’s become if he was asked a tough question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem I have with most media personalities, they just let the guests ramble on and on without calling them out for their immoral, plain stupid, and untrue statements. We saw the fruition of this pattern in 2016 grow to absurd levels. Edited January 6, 2019 by LadySkinsFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw the fruition of this pattern in 2016 grow to absurd levels. The media is supposed to step in to clarify what the government can't or won't and they have failed us for the most part, at least in regards to major US news channels. That's not their intent anymore, it does feel like what's good for ratings matter more, they've tapped into this anger and feel if they don't provide it their audience will go elsewhere to get it. Is it for their own survival? Is it worth it? Cats like NY Times, Washington Post, @visionary and individual reports going doing their best to present the facts of what's actually happening. 1st Amendment Rights of the Press need to be reviewed, that shouldn't get that level of protection if they aren't using it for what it was meant for. Sort of like a megachurch and their multi-millionare pastor having tax exemptions. Edited January 6, 2019 by Renegade7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought of the Fox News crew, Chris Wallace seems the most rational. He did a fantastic job moderating the Presidential debate (which he received praise from just about everybody on both sides of the aisle), and he calls out both sides when they are being stupid, and praises both sides when they are not being stupid. He has a point of view, which I often don't agree with, but he's not a nut job. At least not most of the time. I can't say I'm a fan, but it's going to be up to folks like him, who are rational conservatives to win back enough of the GOP to put a stop to the madness. Which clearly means he'll be off the air in about 3 months. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put anything past him. I'm not really nervous about it actually working, though. I don't think even the GOP controlled Senate would go along with it, nor the Supreme Court, nor the Military. Fox News might. Maybe not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry.Randolphe Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I just saw a commercial on CNN for support for Trump's border wall approved by Trump.....has any other president done this before?

Obama did run a few adds here and there (I believe) around the debt ceiling crisis stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sisko Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Before it’s all said and done, I really hope Putin releases whatever info he’s using to control Graham. We all know what it is😉, but he’s still got plausible deniability at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full text is : "He said the reason the wall price was going up was because of an increase in customer utilization of the border. Customer demand, he said, results in overruns" "increase in customer utilization" It literally sounds like a bright eyed and bushy tailed first year MBA student trying to show off his knowledge after his first semester of classes.

RedskinsFan44 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 What with the speech tomorrow night, trip to border Thursday, and pay for gov workers deadline on Friday I think Trump is going to roll with the national emergency gambit. Get's him out of a bind and he can blame it on "lib judges". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
