Meanwhile in Fox News Land...

The top story is Hillary Clinton's emails, Comey's obstruction of justice and Mueller's Democratic partisanship. They have all broken the law according to Hannity and need to be locked up. Apparently there are pending arrests of Comey, Rothstein, and Clinton. Then Mueller gets discredited and goes away in shame. It is bigger than Watergate on Fox News because they all conspired to use the FBI to spy on Trump without a warrant (or if they did - in violation of FISA court rules).

Wow. I am speechless. In their version of reality Hillary Clinton rigged the presidential election in her favor. And they think the deep state is trying to discredit Trump.

This is beyond trippy. The crap they have made up and are pushing has no credibility outside of their bubble. The alternate reality they have created has no relation to anything that resembles truth. Four years ago they were recognizable as news. Now it is propaganda and performance art. And it is evil.

1. It is not in the best interest of the country or the Republican Party.

they risk turning the Party into a fringe. As a matter of fact, maybe Fox News is somehow complicit in their illegalities. That might explain how far of the reservation they have become.

Good thing she and the Dees (and the Deep State) rigged, gerrymandered, and suppressed their way into a majority in all three branches of government. Damn them!

Oh, wait...

Just exactly how stupid would someone have to be to believe even an iota of this? I'll leave the readers with this homework, which national figure is known to watch copious amounts of TV especially Faux Noise and these stories are designed to placate?

3. I'm trying to figure out who they think will arrest their villians

If the FBI and the Justice Department are in cahoots with Hillary Clinton, I have no idea who they think is going to make those arrests.

4. Especially, when the freshly announced Federal Pay Freeze takes effect in 2019.

It'll be hard for them to get their two-scoops much less arrest anyone.

Good point.

to be a scary group of fat white men high on meth who are going to get past all the security at the fbi and these patriots are going to make a citizens arrest. They're delusional.

5. Running into an actual Fox watcher is a startling thing.

They freak out if you disagree politely. Almost like a wind-up toy that breaks the first time the button gets pressed. Sproi-oi-oi-oing.

I had a Facebook tussle with a friend of a friend the other day. Did you know Mueller's now a Liberal Independent? Fact! Did you know the whole FBI and NSA and CIA are all totally liberal and trying to overthrow the country? Fact!

He called my calmly-reasoned response 'unhinged lunacy'.

I posted a smiley with a raised eyebrow. Because -- what else to say?



I clearly touched a nerve. I bet he's still fuming.

9. Yep it's everywhere in RW media. Desperation and bad timing.

They are clearly desperate.

The timing is all wrong too - many people are tuned out (and suffering Trump-haustion) for the holidays. This not the time to go full fledged on this but they are likely just prepping their own battlefield because they know new charges are about to be filed.

‘Cause being #2 with racists just doesn’t have the same ring as #1.
