I know that this is a major step for chuckles, but at least it is a step.

too bad cable media didn’t recognize it when he’s was doing his rallies. Cheap, high ratings. What could go wrong.

You have never apologized to us. You need to, all of you. If Trump can hurt someone in the media, he will jump at the chance. May have already.

But see, Chuckie, you're not a reporter. You're an opinion guy. And you failed this test and should never be given another opportunity to fail another.

Now that he sees the tide turning and more and more come out, he's having an epiphany?

Couldn't stand him before, but now I can't stand him even more. His so-called journalism career should be over after this.

Usually we finish with Nicolle and give Chuck 5 minutes, but stuck with him longer today.

It finally sank in, didn’t it, Chuck?

He said the facts don't matter, McCarthy is winning by repeating "Joe Biden". He blames the Biden campaign for relying on the media, when he is the media, saying facts don't matter.

21. A Note to Chuck Todd

Thanks for catching up, Chuckles. Now you know what the rest of us have known from the start:

Donald Trump is an existential threat to the United States of America.

And yes, that threat extends even to you, Chuck. We've only been shouting about it for the last 3+years. Actually, I thought all journalists/pundits/newsreaders would have caught on when Donnie referred to your professional group as:

The Enemy of the People.

Did you think he was joking? He wasn't.

There's a maniac squatting in the White House. He is indeed a nightmare, has been from the start. So, can we stop with the faux balancing act as if facts and truth were equal to disinformation and propaganda? These things are not the same nor should they be presented as such. Stop treating the Trumpanistas as if they had anything serious or truthful to offer, let alone contribute to society. The likes of Kellyanne Conway, for instance. Same with Cory Lewandowski and Rudy Giuliani. There are others, of course. So many others whose entertainment value has collided with the destructive, cruel, maniacal reality of Donald Trump.

Think babies in cages, an early tip-off.

Challenging the hyper-partisan, progaganda spewing Trump apologists might go a long way in ending our nightmare. Or at least interrupt the endless bad dream before it kills us. Just a thought.

But thanks for acknowledging the obvious, pal. Better late than never.

Yours Truly,

Peggysue
