"SNIP.....

In a direct response to John Dean’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, which helped Democrats draw parallels between Watergate and the Russia investigation, the hosts "Fox & Friends" came to President Donald Trump's defense Tuesday by slamming the former White House counsel's habit of tweeting about the commander-in-chief.

"He has horrible things to say about Ronald Reagan," co-host Brian Kilmeade said of Dean. "He said that what President Bush did with Iraq is worse than Watergate, and he wrote a book about that. He has no idea how much money he made."

“Listen to how he describes Donald Trump,” Kilmeade continued. “'Demeaning Don.' 'Deadbeat Don.' 'Demagogue Don.' He calls him 'Deranged Don.' Those are just some of the things included in his 970 tweets.”

Kilmeade’s co-host Ainsley Earnhardt also touched on the sheer volume of tweets Dean has penned about the president. “Almost 1,000 . . . Who has time for that?” she asked.

jump up and smack them in the face!

Anybody here have enough "experience" (yeah, are you old enough...) to remember "The Gong Show?" The star/producer, Chuck Barris, would get up and hit a GONG if it was a terrible or absurd act.

Wouldn't it be great it our TV's had a "GONG" app": You lie, you prove yourself to be an idiot, GONG!!!!!!

certainly not someone tasked with, say, running the executive branch of a large nation's government. that would be a complete misuse of time.
