are so ill equipped to debate...when Bill said you can't deny Russian involvement.. he actually said "I suppose you would say they are guilty if they used Russian dressing on their salad"....Bill should have just said Fuck You and ended segment.

...win Bill. By the way, who worries about either of these men being able to come up with $1,000 to settle a bet? That must be like a penny to them.

Just look at their track record 20 years ago compared to their track record now. In the 90s - both were considered the "extreme far left". The type easily manipulated by Putin's propaganda machine. Give them a steady diet of the bullshit 24/7. Now they're stark raving, Trump supporting lunatics who are incapable of critical thought or debate because the "other side" convinced them that the other side is the enemy. That's it in a nutshell.

What was not said out loud was, how much damage it would do to Geraldos career if he turned anti Trump. He could kiss those millions from Fox goodbye and probably severally damage his social life.

this week, as I screamed "fuck you" at all his lame excuses, John and Frank calmly and intelligently took him to task.

Off to watch Bill Maher while I walk on my treadmill out in the garage where no one can hear me scream.

Whoever you're talking to, if you disagree, talk loudly, talk over them, and don't let them get a word in edgewise.

Rivera's defense of Trump reminded me of descriptions of Stalin playing with his daughter. Stalin played the doting, loving father to Svetlana, even as he was ordering the deaths of tens of thousands month after month.

By Rivera's standards, it was great to be a Soviet citizen under Stalin--if you were his daughter. Therefore, it is great to be an American under Trump--if you are a rich friend of his (and, recently, if you were never a member of his cabinet).

Any inclinations I might have had about watching last night's show died immediately, once I saw that Geraldo would be stinking things up.

He showed that he is “a likable human being (pawn). He dodged around with his fidelity to the monster in the White House, and managed not to overtly insult the spoiled brat.

Those idiot fox idiots watching his interview can be assured he is a “decent man”, and he can represent THEM as decent too.

We saw what we wanted to see, and the fox audience saw something completely different.

Glad he had him on. His unswerving loyalty to the man child will be rewarded.

Up to now I have never seen a journalist so pro45 ( not even Sean Hannity ). Geraldo use to be a guy I could watch on television. And then 911 and he turns into this crusader for vengeance against every terrorist in the world. I guess he has a big "S" on his chest now. I had to listen to him support 45, he has been my friend for forty years. How do I sterilize my computer now?

I'm old. I remember when Geraldo started in journalism & was very active in supporting Puerto Rico. Does he now find Trump's
obvious cruelty and dereliction of office towards Puerto Rico ok?

Yes but the money stops road repairs, Medicaid for the elderly, help with home heating. bridges getting repaired etc etc. This tax break is starving the federal treasury so our schools and all else that depends on our taxes go down the hole. Next time your car hits a pot hole and bends your frame just smile and say yeah but I got a tax savings so I don't mind. Most of the tax breaks go to the extremely wealthy as well.
These greedy tax relief braggers only see one piece of the big picture. Taxes are simply the dues of living in a democracy. How much are your schools, libraries, fire departments, healthcare and roads worth to you?
