  1. I am guessing, but I would think that the biggest losses to satellite and cable TV would be coming from younger people ditching them to go with streaming instead. That would mean the existing DirecTV subscribers would more likely to be older people, more from Trump's base, who would not know the first thing about finding Newsmax or other fascist channels they love online.

  2. To use Kevin McCarthy's credit card analogy, this is not like asking for a credit limit increase for future purchases your child makes. It is more like not paying your child's credit card bill. But even worse, it would be like if your child had the only credit card and everyone else in the country was depending on you paying the bill. Either pay the bill for your past debts, in significant part rung up during the Trump administration, or the entire economy collapses. Also, in this analogy, Donald Trump is the child.

  3. We've seen this thing before. In 2016, Donald Trump humiliated a number of other Republicans including Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz. Almost all of the people he humiliated came spinelessly crawling back to him with their tail between their legs. I expect Ron DeSantis to eventually crawl back to Donald Trump too.

  4. AOC. She will just turn 35 before the 2024 election. She has the name recognition and is great on the issues.

  5. These Republicans are not "jumping into the pool". They are slithering into the swamp.

  6. Democrats passed the child tax credit which lifted many families out of poverty during the pandemic. However, that provision ended by 2022. The inflation rate in the USA in November 2022 was 7.1% (compared to 4% now). 30-year fixed mortgage rates in November 2022 were above 7%, much higher than they had been in years. With all of that, the Democrats still did extraordinarily well in the midterm 2022 elections. Republicans failed to take back the Senate and only won the House by a 5 seat margin, much less than the 70 seats they expected to pick up.

  7. Many years ago, Fred Thompson announced on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" that he was running in the Republican presidential primary. Thompson's announcement was very ho-hum, and his campaign quickly fizzled out. Even that was much better than Ron DeSantis's launch. Fred Thompson's launch had no technical glitches. Plus, it was on TV, so it was very visible. Ron DeSantis did the worst launch I have ever seen...well, heard...well, heard some of it when he wasn't getting cut off.

  8. I thought this story was going to be about her puppy and goat. She is sick in many, many ways. As far as her denying abortion, that would mean that a rape victim would not only have to carry her rapist's child to term, but she would also have to have a relationship with her rapist in terms of visitation rights, custody, etc. Disgusting.

  9. Ron DeSantis got married at Disney World. It only figures that DeSantis would want to spend his future incarceration next to Disney World.

  10. I will never vote for Elizabeth Warren for two reasons. 1. She completely trashed Bernie in the 2020 primaries, which did nothing to help her flailing campaign but did a lot to hurt his. 2. For many years, she was a Republican. We don't need another possible Tulsi Gabbard on the left. Trust matters.

  11. With all the drinking Rudy is said to do, even if he loses his law license, I predict Rudy will still be in the bar maybe more than ever.

  12. He was only off by 125,000%. Kind of like every time he tells us how much money he has.

  13. In the race for governor (or other statewide races like US senator), it is not county-by-county; rather, it is who wins the popular vote statewide. A vote for a Dem in a solid red county is just as valuable as a vote in a solid blue county. That being said, TV ads may be too expensive for the return in a very solid red area. Less expensive methods (volunteer phone calls, going door-to-door) should take place, esp. before voter registration deadline, and before election day. Dems should not ignore solid red areas. Increasing from 5% to 10% in the red areas could decide a close election.

  14. I am surprised his resume does not already list him as Director of ICE.

  15. Two differences between most of us watching clips of things we said and George Santos are: 1. Most of us have not lied as much or told anywhere near as big of lies as Santos, and 2. Most of us are not public figures. George Santos chose to lie. George Santos chose to run for congress. George Santos deserves to be publicly mocked and humiliated, and to face prison for his alleged crimes.

  16. If he had his choice, Matt Gaetz would probably host Sesame Street to get dates.

  17. That look on Jenna Ellis's face when Rudy farted is priceless.

  18. Clarence Thomas: When I was a kid, I once earned a card which makes me immune to this and any other laws. It is called a "Get Out of Jail Free" card. I can present it if you want. That will make this story go away, as anyone can see I am immune from all laws.

  19. I hope he gets some time in prison. Idiot. Also, this shows how well all the super-advanced scanning equipment everyone has to go through at TSA really works. TSA is security theater.

  20. I don't think there would be "no evidence" without these office documents. I think that in Ron DeSantis's book and speeches, he has already publicly admitted he was punishing Disney for criticizing his Don't Say Gay law. I am not certain of that, but then again I am not a lawyer for Disney. In any case, getting governor's office documents and communications through discovery would likely help bolster Disney's case.

  21. Heaven used to be up in the clouds. Then people invented hot air balloons, airplanes, helicopters, and rocket ships to take us up into the clouds and beyond. Heaven was not there, so I guess it had to be moved to someplace else. Their sacred, unchangeable story keeps changing to suit their own purposes.

  22. I was hired by a rich older guy years ago in South Florida to edit his autobiographical book. Near the end of the book, he made the conclusion that the Earth is warming not due to emissions from man-made technology, but instead because the Earth is moving closer to the Sun! I used to go to my high school reunions in the Midwest where the D student who bullied me thought that most scientists must be deeply religious! We cannot be united when so many people are so ignorant and have such a distorted view of the world. I will be moving back to Europe by 2025.

  23. I cannot understand any rational argument to justify submitting fake electors, sending in people to steal data from voting machines, or inciting an attempted coup on the Capitol. Even the "I didn't know any better" argument is bullshit for those alleged offenses.

  24. The defense does not have to prove a negative or anything else. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff. But a good defense would credibly dispute her accusations. Trump's side was not able to do that, in large part because Donald Trump is the defendant.

  25. Ted Cruz should have been term limited at the first trimester.

  26. She would have had an easier time speaking at the Home for the Criminally Insane. At least those people have a chance of getting better.

  27. Illegally trafficking people across state lines would make this a federal crime. Merrick Garland, where are you?

  28. Wealthy donors should be shunning McCarthy. People who deal with the stock market hate instability. Sell-offs, bank runs, bankruptcies, etc. All tend to tank the stock markets. Defaulting on the US debt would create massive instability and massive stock losses. Donors should threaten to cut off the House Republicans unless they agree to raise the debt ceiling.

  29. Elon Musk is so far underwater I don't think he could even sell Twitter at this point.

  30. Trump definitely should testify in all of his cases, but especially in Georgia since that will be streamed. I cannot wait to see it.

  31. It used to be that if you told too many lies, your nose would grow or your pants would catch on fire. Now when you tell too many lies, the microphones refuse to work.

  32. The nickname George W. Bush gave to his political advisor Karl Rove was "Turd Blossom".

  33. Republican voters love "sticking it to the Dems" unless it hurts them too. If Marjorie does this, it would be easy to pin the economic catastrophes on the House Republicans since the effects would happen right away. That could lead to even more voters abandoning the Republican party in 2024. Still, it would be a terrible thing to happen.

  34. Hating him would be a better reason to exclude him.

  35. Fox N*ws: President's Son Got Paid by His Company. Film at Eleven.

  36. I am guessing that the real reason the judge should not cash the check is because Donald Trump only has 50 cents left in his account.

  37. Yes, but a lot of "serious" candidates ran against Trump in 2016. He beat all of them. Trump's base does not care what Trump does or says. When you are a cult member, it does not matter what the cult leader does or does not do. You simply follow the cult leader no matter what.

  38. Farron lives in Florida. He meets total morons everywhere he goes.

  39. William “Robbie” Norwood III, of Greer, South Carolina.

  40. Federal laws are way too lenient on this. What happened on 1/6 definitely was an insurrection, even if the laws do not agree. Attacks on the capitol and the government should be dealt with much more harshly because they are so serious. As laws currently stand, most of the 1/6 convictions have been for "get off my lawn" type offenses with probationary sentences. Intent should not matter so much when it comes to attacks on the government. The acts themselves are so heinous.

  41. To win a general presidential election, the Republican candidate needs to appeal to establishment Republicans as well as Independents who are concerned about tax rates, inflation, mortgage rates, jobs, the stock market, and crime. Increasingly, this group includes more women, people of color, LGBT+ people, non-native citizens, and other minorities. But this Republican candidate also needs to appeal to the right-wing extremists who want to literally execute a significant percentage of the first group.

  42. I'm Ivanka. I'm special. I am above the law.

  43. I hope that Elon Mush will not kick Devin Nunes's cow off of Twitter. That would be an udder disgrace.

  44. Don't give the Republicans advice. (Joking, no, I don't think they watch this channel anyway.) My suggestion is that the best, most appropriate person to run the RNC is Mike Lindell. Go Mike! Full crazy. Bring it on.

  45. She got into trouble when she responded to an email from a Nigerian prince. He said he would put a lot of money into her account. All she had to do was give him full access to it...

  46. Biden beat Trump largely due to COVID, which is less of an issue now. Get ready for four years of Trump, DeSantis, Tucker Carlson, or some other batshit crazy lunatic. Bernie is cognitively much younger than Biden, but both are still way up there in age. Bernie could win, but the Democratic Party will never allow that to happen.

  47. Plus, Rudy showed he had a handle on things in that Borat movie.

  48. Cults make no sense. They get their supporters to always be loyal to the leader no matter how badly they are treated. That is the point.

  49. Sidney Powell? But she has on her side, 1. the kraken, and 2. her friend who says the wind told her she is a ghost but she doesn't know whether she believes that but she is internally decapitated yet somehow she lives. (Yes, Sidney Powell actually said or forwarded emails saying these things. I am not joking.)

  50. It is hard to be more un-American than to lie about and smear two women who were diligently working on an election. I hope they get a ton of money from Rudy. They deserve every penny of it.
