right now.
WHY are these fucknuts allowed to have ANY political power/influence in this country? Between the three of them they havent served a single day as a public servant. They avoided military service. They've never run a business and the only thing they produce is three hours of turtle shit every day.
But guess what? If they pick up the phone and call a republican congressman to bitch about something do you know what the congressman is going to do? Take the call. You know what that congressman would do if everyday joe calls to complain? Laugh and tell his secretary to hang up the phone.
AM hate radio is crashing and burning. The audience is old and dying off, the media is old and dying off but most importantly to these fucksticks, the advertising dollars are becoming less and less because in the end its all about money for these maggots. Its just a matter of time till this God awful era of hate radio has finally come to an end and it cant come soon enough.

(17,235 posts)Replace Garion_55 with Trump and those photos with Rachel Maddow, Stephen Colbert, Anderson Cooper or Don Lemon.
Both would be horrible abuses of power, but our side talking this way empowers their side to speak this way. And they *really* want to use their power do it.

(1,915 posts)Rachel Maddow, Stephen Colbert, Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon werent advisors to Obama. He wasnt calling them to find out what they thought about an issue before he adopted their position. obama wasnt tuning in to their shows to find out what was going on in the world. They werent going out to dinner with him. Hanging out at his golf clubs. Giving their talking points to obama so that he could spew them out as fact.
IF that had been the case during the obama years, I would have been just as outraged.
We don't arrest media because we don't like the scope of their influence. This is left-wing authoritarianism.

(1,915 posts)I am saying investigate their ties to this current administration. find out what parts they had to do with the collusion. are they involved in russia money laundering. hannity himself seems to have direct ties to wikileaks.
gather up the facts and indict these fuckers for whatever crimes they committed. its not enough to just go after the people in the administration.

An indictment is "a formal charge or accusation of a serious crime."
If you mean investigate these people?
Maybe.
But there is a method to investigating to protect against witch hunts. It starts with the crime and leads where it leads. If Russian contacts with Hannity (which I wouldn't doubt took place back in 2013) are discovered, the investigation goes there. If not, it doesn't start there.
Sorry for being dismissive, but I think we all need to protect against our own impulse to race to counter-judgments. We need to be the ones who act with belief in "the system".
Going after RW media out of frustration weakens our own foundation, and would be used by people like Trump to lower standards and abuse the system.
It's a difficult line to walk in the face of authoritarianism without any conscience. WHich is what we are facing.
