"The best satire, commentary, resistance information, and angry rants. Huge. Tremendous. Everyone agrees." - Donald J. Trump
Fox News Merges with Russia Today

Fox News Merges with Russia Today

With ratings falling, the loss of star anchors to sex scandals, advertiser boycotts, and even conservatives realizing the network is more than biased and less than news; Fox News made a surprising move by announcing its merger with Russia Today and rebranding as Fox News/RT.

A Fox insider explained, “We’ve been hurt by scandals and by being uncompromising apologists for the increasingly unpopular Trump administration. We looked for a cobranding or merger that would be popular with our base, but the best choices were not possible. It’s not like we can just come out and unite with Breitbart and The Daily Stormer officially without taking a hit.”

“When we looked for a news outlet that shared our values: conservatism, sexism, homophobia, racism, Islamophobia, pandering to business at any cost, and outright support of the Trump administration; it turned out that we were very compatible with Russia Today – even if we are a bit edgier than they are.”

“And let’s be honest, acting as Trump apologists in the face of blatant evidence of collusion between the administration and Russia, we are both already effectively part of the propaganda wing of the Russian government. The choice was more obvious than you think.”

“Look at the Seth Rich saturation. We picked up the story from extreme-right websites, which were fed by Russian propaganda. When the story was discredited and his family was demanding a retraction from Fox News, the story was revived by a Tweet from the Russian embassy. We work very well together.”

“Russia Today has done a stellar job of marketing itself as a valid alternative to the mainstream media. Like us, they have managed to make propaganda and outright lies seem to their base to be more honest than facts from reputable journalists. They are an inspiration to us, and we are proud to be working with them.”

“Also, you have to realize the crisis we are in. We are floundering, and internally in chaos. Let’s just say most of our biggest names came to Fox not only to say horrible things about women, but do horrible things to women. The blowback from O’Reilly is really cramping our style. We are at risk of losing our audience and our top personalities. Do you think Sean Hannity, as vacuous as he is, could make himself spew such inane bullshit every day just for fame and money without the opportunity to sexually harass women? Hardly.”

“But selling our western democracy to Russia, in order to get rich from shady Russian investments, that is something almost everyone at Fox can get behind, and it brings us the support of both the White House and the Kremlin. Shep Smith won’t get on board with it, but we only keep him around so there is some kooky host that liberals don’t completely hate.”

Beyond the rebranding, the changes in Fox are already showing. Fox and Friends has begun to make call outs not just to Trump, but Putin. To be more compatible with Russia Today, Fox is increasing its attacks on the GLBTQ community and running more articles undermining faith in our European allies. Our inside source says that next month, Fox will begin directly airing Russian propaganda to convince conservatives that Russia deserves to annex Ukraine.

Hall of Shame: George Faught

George Faught is an almost generic conservative Republican. He is aggressively anti-abortion and overtly religious. He wants to take money from the poor and middle-class and give it to the wealthy and big business. He wants to undermine public education.

I disagree with all of that, but that doesn't earn him a place in the Hall of Shame. If it did, we would have to make a post for most Republican politicians in the country.

What makes Faught stand out is his sick, disgusting comments on rape and incest. He stated that these things happened in the Bible, and that "God uses all circumstances". If you are so desperate to outlaw any abortion that you start standing up for rape and incest as God's will, you aren't a moral Christian, you are a sick fuck. Get rid of this guy, and every other Republican that justifies rape or incest. Even if you are conservative and otherwise like his views, do you really want to be on the side that justifies RAPE?

Trump asked DNI, NSA to deny evidence of Russia collusion

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump called two top intelligence community figures to request that they deny in public any evidence of collusion between his campaign and the Russian government during the 2016 election, multiple current and former US officials with knowledge tell CNN.

Trump's requests to Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and National Security Agency Director Adm. Michael Rogers came after then-FBI Director James Comey publicly revealed before the House intelligence committee on March 20 that the FBI had an investigation into collusion to influence the 2016 election.

Both Coats and Rogers were uncomfortable with the nature of the President's request and refused to comply, the sources told CNN.

The Washington Post first reported the story Monday evening, citing current and former officials.

In a response to CNN, a White House spokesperson, who declined to be identified by name, said: "The White House does not confirm or deny unsubstantiated claims based on illegal leaks from anonymous individuals. The President will continue to focus on his agenda that he was elected to pursue by the American people."

CNN reported in February that the White House had asked the FBI to push back against stories in the press about potential coordination between Trump associates and Russia.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing, and railed against the investigations into his campaign's alleged ties to Russia repeatedly.

The Post story said a record of Trump's request to Rogers was in a memo from a senior NSA official -- and that memo, as well as any that may be from the DNI's office, would be available to former FBI Director Robert Mueller, the special counsel appointed last week to head the Justice Department's investigation.

A source told CNN that Mueller had been briefed on memos Comey had written about his interactions with Trump, including his recollection of Trump asking for the FBI to end its investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Congressional investigators have requested copies of Comey's memos and testimony from Comey himself.

Both Coats and Rogers are scheduled to appear before Congress this week, but not before either the House or Senate intelligence committees, which have separate investigations into Russian meddling in the election.

The Senate Armed Services Committee scheduled a hearing with Coats, and the House Armed Services Committee has one with Rogers.

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, said on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" that he was as "shocked as anybody else" upon hearing the news and noted Coats and Rogers had appeared before the panel earlier this month.

"Might be good to get them back," Manchin said.

Hall of Shame: Michael Cohen

Michael Cohen, President Trump's attorney, tweeted a sexualized picture of his "Ivy League" daugher wearing nothing but a bra and pair of nylons. He then proceeded to compare her likeness to that of Edie Sedgwick, who is basically the 1960s version of a more drugged out, more shocking, more sexualized, (and arguably more talented) Paris Hilton. Then, when women on twitter pointed out that a father posting this type of picture of his daughter (while comparing her to Edie Sedgwick), is kind of creepy, he accuses said women of being "jealous"...

This just furthers the notion that a lot of alt-right men, including Cohen, Trump and some of his other cronies, view all women, including their own daughters, as nothing more than dick bait, even if they do attend an Ivy League school.

The most disturbing thing however is Cohen apparently truly doesn't seem to understand why this kind of thing is highly inappropriate. Maybe that's because he is too busy assuming that the main value of all women is their sex appeal while everything else, including brains, takes a back seat. No pun intended...

How Trump Has Changed My View of Past Presidents

If Trump is good for one thing, it is perspective. I never thought I would say, "We didn't know how good we had it with Bush II". Bush abused the legal system and checks and balances, but he acknowledged them. Bush crapped on the Constitution repeatedly, but he didn't ignore it or argue against it.

Names In Failure

I found it ironic and foreboding that the man in charge of the EPA has the same name as a failed public housing project.

Words: Christianist

We have religious extremists in America who want to legislate based upon outdated and discriminatory religious law. They are not Islamists trying to enforce Shiria law. They are Christianists who want to discriminate and destroy religious freedom

Spicer: Teaching Us about Lies and Prepositions

Sean Spicer did not hide in the bushes - like Michelle Bachmann would while awkwardly spying on a GLBTQ rally. He hid among the bushes. It is an important difference. Like how the AHCA will give millions of people with pre-existing conditions access to health insurance. They won't be able to afford it, but they will have access. Distinctions.

Spice Pack

Here we see the wild Sean Spicers hide in the bushes from the media. Sadly Sean Spicers' natural prey is the media, hence this pack will starve. Hopefully the same will happen to the local Kellyanne Conway Population.

Trump Not Even Trying to Hide it Anymore

Trump fires FBI chief investigation Trump's Russia ties one day, meets with Russian diplomats the next day, excludes the American press from the meeting, invites Russian press to the meeting, and changes his story about the reason for firing three times in a day, He's not even trying to pretend he isn't a traitor anymore. And yet, the Republicans keep protecting him.

Hall of Shame: Pat Garofalo

State representative tries to stop cities he does not live in from improving wages and sick leave for workers - in between making racist tweets

Hall of Shame: Paul Ryan

Paul Ryan cost millions of people their insurance and will cost thousands of lives with a health care plan that costs more, gives less, but mostly gives a tax break to the rich and steals money from Medicare.
