    Singer is now trying to take over Twitter. Some people on my side think this is a good development, get rid of Dorsey, stop banning conservatives for no reason. But Singer was the first guy to dig up Trump using GPS Fusion so I am not sure he can ever be trusted.

    Republican mega-donor buys stake in Twitter and seeks to oust Jack Dorsey – report

    Anything that diminishes or undermines the Left's monopoly on social media dominance is a good thing.

    Rush, " I don’t know. Sometimes I just have to laugh. Like Larry King. Larry King, who has never gotten over what I did to him, and I didn’t do anything to him other than wipe him out. He’s never gotten over it. Now Larry King is working at someplace called Russia Today, and he claims I’m never gonna get a Pulitzer while he’s working at Russia Today.
    Larry, Pulitzers don’t go to radio people. Pulitzers go to print journalists, of which I am not one. I couldn’t win a Pulitzer if I wanted to. And now that I have the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Larry, I don’t need a Pulitzer. I don’t need a step down to get some freaking Pulitzer award which, you know, the New York Times got a Pulitzer for all of the lies on the Russia hoax that they told. That’s how valid a Pulitzer Prize is today.

    I generally try not to revel in the misfortunes of others, but any journalist (or non-journalist for that matter) who pimped the Kavanaugh scandal deserves all the misfortune that they receive. The fact that he was fired for sexual harassment claims makes it just that much more funny.

    Does it send a thrill down your leg?

    Liberal media turns on one of its own in the twinkling of an eye. Was if comparing Sanders victory to the Nazis invading France that did it?

    He's getting canned for a stupid reason, but if you traffic in rampant political correctness, you can't get upset when it happens to you.

    He can take Shemp Smith and Chris Wallace and they can start their own douchebag opinion network. Wallace pretends he deals in facts, but he only tailors them to his point of view. That is my point of view.

    It's about some #metoo accusations. My position is that if we wanted fairness and due process for Justice Kavanaugh then we should demand the same for him.

    In addition, the timing of these accusations is awfully coincidental with him leveling some hard criticism at Bernie from the marxist/socialist angle.

    Finally, Bernie himself has said and written quite a bit about females that you would think would have femistists in a tizzy. I posted some of them above, just do a search if you want to read some of his female-hating prose. It's amazing what you can get away with if you make the right promises on other positions (see Bill Clinton).

    How can Schumer not be held accountable for these threats?
    "
    During a speech about the abortion case before the Supreme Court on Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated to Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, “you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you, if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

    Schumer said, “Now, we stand here today because behind me, inside the walls of this court, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments, as you know, for the first major abortion right cases since [Justice] Kavanaugh and [Justice] Gorsuch came to the bench. We know what’s at stake. Over the last three years, women’s reproductive rights have come under attack in a way we haven’t seen in modern history. From Louisiana, to Missouri, to Texas, Republican legislatures are waging a war on women, all women, and they’re taking away fundamental rights. I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you, if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

    As I understand it Chuck does not have the immunity he would have if he had threatened while on the Senate floor

    Any of you who think Chuckles will suffer any consequences, I have good odds on the Horns going undefeated this year and winning the MNC.

    Schumer's actions were reprehensible. The guy needs to retire. He is a national embarrassment. Predictably the MSM is barely covering the story and with a fairly temperate tone.

    Didn't you know that Chuck is an expert on the constitution not the USC codes. At least that's what I figured since during all through the impeachment he kept saying Trump violated the constitution.

    Will the media even cover it?

    Tavis Smiley Violated PBS Morals Clause With Alleged Sexual Misconduct, Jury Finds

    Tavis Smiley was found by a jury to have violated PBS’ morals clause, and the network will be awarded $1.486 million from a countersuit of its former host. ........ The American talk show host sued the broadcast network in February of 2018, accusing it of using a fake investigation to get his show canceled. PBS countersued, pointing to Smiley’s alleged sexual misconduct with female employees as a breach of contract.
