John Fugelsang: Reality show landlord gets nuclear codes because he convinced nice conservatives ...

John Fugelsang response to Joy-ann Reid questioning white Christians' reaction to having President Obama for eight years was spot on. It was done in the context of Donald Trump giving a commencement speech at Liberty University.

Fugelsang never disappoints in the manner in which he describes the Trump litany of fiascos in simple terms many should understand. The commentator appeared on MSNBC where he excoriated Liberty University for allowing someone who had to pay $25 million for bilking Trump University students to be their commencement speaker.

I wish I'd seen him! He would be a fantastic addition to MSNBC's roster of talking heads (he's not an expert on anything so I don't know what else to call him, but that's not a diss); he's smart and has a great way with words.

...many of the squeaky-wheel Christofascists are. He takes apart their attempts at justifying their mean-heartedness with the bible. He can quote chapter and verse with the best of them, due, no doubt, to being raised by his mother the former nun and his father, the former brother.

If you have never read his telling of his parents love story, you are missing out - here it is:

This is also good - a civil discussion between John F and an atheist:
