    It’s gross, but not surprising. Fox is just being Fox while its drooling, struggled to pass the GED, sycophants just drink it up.

    I guess Fox is trying to get back into the good graces of Trump worshippers now that he’s the GQP frontrunner for 2024. Fox lost a lot of their cultist audience to the more unhinged networks like Newsmax, One America, Blaze TV, etc.

      I think this is the time to bring up the Umberto Eco quote:

      “Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

      -Ur-Fascism, by Umberto Eco

      Schrödinger’s Politician

      Trump himself was supposed to “drain the swamp” as he’s the only one “strong enough” to do it, but his own DOJ never brought charges against Hillary because they’re corrupt and “woke.” But also, Back the Blue fits in there somewhere.

      Their narrative is whatever sounds convenient for the 5 seconds it takes to get to the end of the sentence. There’s no coherent ideology that binds it all together, because it’s so self-contradictory that would be impossible.

    This implies that people running for President should be immune from the law or that the President directly controls the actions of the DoJ. Though I don’t think that the people believing this care about that either.

      They don’t. If the roles were reversed they’d be having a parade.

    They are so fucking whiny and fragile. They’re the opposite of the tough guy image they like to put out

      Anyone who mistakes Trump for a tough guy, is a huge wuss. The man can’t even go outside when it’s humid because it’ll mess up his do.

    this makes literally no sense

    How is Biden conscious enough to actively get Trump arrested. I bet he didn’t even know what shoes he was wearing until he looked down.
