Another mushroom drumph surrogates pops onto msnbc

And immediately claims she did extensive research "last night" to prove that airline seats in first class did not go up in 1978. The guy tries to correct her and of course she denies his points. Shortly she turns to attacking HRC of course.

Ergo Drumph is innocent.

She's DR Gina Loudon

She said she counselled female sexual assault victims AS WELL AS men and boys SOME OF WHOM were falsely accused.

She sneaked that point in slickly.

Like a very rehearsed performance.

The seats, while leather and roomy, did absolutely have arm rests that raised and lowered. These were Pan Am and American Airlines flights.

This is the dumbest defense I've ever heard!

By the way, it's not difficult to get bumped up to first class. All you have to do is dress very nicely and say the magic words, "Can you ballast me on this flight?" Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

when the planes weren't packed solid all the time. And yes, indeed, the arm rests in 1st class could be raised and lowered. I have proof in an old DC-9 manual. "All armrests, except the one adjacent to the aisle and the ones mounted on the overwing exit doors, may be folded up flush with the seat back."

Faux is worried that Trump and Britebart are planning to start a new network to the right of Faux (if such a thing is possible). With Ailes gone, Faux is in turmoil.

And re: MSNBC, for over a decade, right wingers were afraid of going on MSNBC because they didn't want to take any hard questions. But now they are flooding onto MSNBC. This is a realization that while Faux has a big audience of right-wing old men, those people are already planning to vote for Trump. Trump cannot pick up any votes from Faux.

MSNBC is bending over backwards to let these Trump dipshits be heard. So far, I haven't seen effective spokespeople for Trump. And that Kelly girl is the worst. Trump should have fired her a long time ago.
