And Bongino (or was that earlier?). Even if I cared about Lemon (which I don't) I'd still consider this an absolute win.

I didn't know about Bongino. His departure was a lot more low-key. Only thing I could find was a tweet from him insisting that it was purely a contractual thing. 

Looks like the Monday Morning Massacre went on in media.

He pretty much was already doing that so nothing really change besides his Salary.  I am sure Tucker was making millions for his show so I am sure he will land somewhere else pretty easily but he may not have as much of a national pull as a blogger.  Either way, it is surprising that he was the one who took the fall.  Maybe there is a bigger liability that Fox has than we thought.

Tucker co-founded and used to co-own the Daily Caller, until he sold his share to Neil Patel, his partner, in 2020. Carlson did cost Fox close to a billion dollars, and there's still the Smartmatic lawsuit pending. 

I totally agree about the other lawsuit and Fox will have to settle that one as well.  The thing is this could be a dominion effect as others may be seeing a pay day.  The thing is Tucker was doing exactly what Fox wanted and its not like he was some rogue TV show host, he was their biggest top celebrity.  The fact that they could not find someone else to take the fall speaks big. I also saw that Tucker makes 20 million a year so its not like he wasn't making bank.  I wonder if he will find another job making as much money.  Its not like his brand is tarnished, so he should be able to find another landing whenever he is ready.

^ As usual, the cruelty is the point.



Montana state rep would rather have a dead child than a trans child.

Pro Life party, indeed.

It also appears that this Texas man would rather kill a child than exercise even the slightest amount of gun control.



Trump found liable for sexual abuse of E. Jean Carroll. Charged $5M.

"The verdict was announced in a federal courtroom in New York City on the first day of deliberations. Jurors rejected Carroll’s claim that she was raped, but found Trump liable for sexual abuse and for defaming Carroll after she made her allegations public."

I was hoping to be able to add 'convicted rapist' to Trump's many titles, but I'll take what I can get. May this be just the first of the many such allegations against Trump to be validated going forward.

And it still won't make any difference to most of his base. Marco Rubio called the whole thing a joke. Nikki Haley dodged the question altogether, which means she will still support him if she thinks she can get away with it.

They all play the same game, trying to keep Trump base while also trying to appear neutral.  Its even tougher for Nikki since she wants to run for President so she needs Trump base.  As for Trump base, lets be honest, they never cared if he rapped, assaulted anyone before so this case means nothing.  The more Trump can play the victim, the better his chances for winning any primary using the same tired tactics he has used before.  The only thing now is that those votes he got because people tought he was different isn't there anymore.  Either way, it will be interesting if he makes it to the finish line.  The GOP is trying everything they can to shield him but you would believe after 2020 that they would move on.



One high profile arrest deserves another. Galactic Emperor George Santos arrested on 13 federal charges. Of course you can't shame the shameless and he still won't resign. I wonder how much longer a bunch of the GOP will hold out in refusing to condemn him or kick him out, though.

There are still millions of people who are in thrall to Trump, and they are rabid. No way the GOP is going to give up those votes.

My hope would be that Trump would be denied the nomination in 2024 and run as a third party candidate, the way George Wallace did in 1968. Wallace didn't win, but he was the most successful third party candidate in history, at Hubert Humphrey's expense.

That is exactly why the GOP will still be behind him and not deny him a nomination no matter what.  To have that base splinter would be a disaster for them which is what Trump has held over the Republican party.  I do not see anything preventing Trump from winning the primary and being nominated as the GOP best candidate.
