Delicately put.

Barrrump-Bump!

No kidding!

GOOD one! It did feel a little bit obscene, watching that “Fondle-the-Flag” moment.

He should. He deserves LOTS of legal action.

I hope assholes like him are bankrupted by their legal “defenses.” Money and/or the lack thereof: the ONLY kinds of punishment these jerks even begin to understand, much less learn from.

" Will Lead To Cannibalism!"????

Does that mean some big fat over-fed republi-CON actually might feed a homeless family or the struggling single-head-of-household who goes without a meal so her kids can have something in their tummies before they go to bed?

I can just see the bumper stickers now... “Fight Hunger! Eat a Republican!”

On second thought, never mind. They’d probably taste like shit.

Yep. Pretty much.

And btw, as long as we're correcting MSNBC's on-air people...

I finally did that over the weekend.

Ali Velshi, on Friday 3/1, came back in after a commercial break saying “... the 2020 Democrat contenders... “

Okay. THAT did it. E-FUCKING-NUFF!!!! I had officially HAD IT.

So I looked through the free greeting cards I occasionally get in the mail from various environmental groups to which I’ve made donations. There are small collections of cards and envelopes that include birthday cards, get well cards, and “thinking of you” cards; sometimes all-purpose blank cards with nature scenes on the front, in which you can write your own greetings.

I picked one with red-white-and-blue hot air balloons and “America” in big letters along the top. I wrote in, under the “America” - “wants YOU...”

Then, opening the card, I wrote “... to get the name of our party right! It’s DEMOCRATIC Party.” I added the date, time, and direct quote of the offense. And I signed off with a “thank you,” and “a loyal viewer”, adding my name. Sent it off first thing Saturday morning. So I’m guessing it arrives at 30 Rock in NYC in today’s mail. It’ll be the one with “Personal, please” added on the front.

Sometimes, adding “Personal, please” or “Personal and Confidential” can make it more certain that it’ll actually get to the actual addressee.

And now, I’ll be watching to see if he’ll correct his mistake.

Another thing the anchors have all been doing -

except, remarkably enough, Chuck “it’s not MY job to fact-check” Todd.

When Michael Cohen was asked during last Wednesday’s hearing about collusion and said he didn’t see any, that’s ALWAYS where they leave it. Whenever they bring that up, they always stop there, thus stopping short on the whole quote. They consistently avoid QUOTING HIM ALL THE WSY TO THE END OF HIS ANSWER! And what was the last part of his answer (that they seldom bother to add)? The phrase “...but I have my suspicions.”

We all need to keep that in mind.

And it makes me wonder if somebody in upper management sent a memo around, directing the on-air staff to do it that way.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
