DONALD TRUMP INDICTED ON 34 COUNTS, IMMEDIATELY LOSES HIS MIND!
Failed former President Donald Trump has been indicted on 34 counts, the first indictment of a former president in US history. The exact nature of the charges is unknown as the indictment remains under seal, but they are said to stem from payments made during the 2016 campaign to silence claims of an extramarital affair Trump had with adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Trump is expected to surrender to authorities in New York City next week to be booked, fingerprinted, arraigned, and subsequently released. Trump has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and has posted extensively on Truth Social about it, calling the indictment a “political persecution” and 2024 “election interference.” While Trump will likely not serve time in prison over this, the hope is that this is just the beginning of legal action against him, with other prosecutors in Georgia and Washington D.C. ready to file charges against him in the coming months.
Fox News MELTS DOWN over Trump indictment
Fox News is melting down over Donald Trump getting indicted in connection to his alleged 2016 hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. A compilation video by Media Matters’ Katherine Abughazaleh showed Fox News commentators dismissing the indictment as legally weak and branding Trump as the victim of a political attack. Many Fox commentators claimed throughout the course of the evening that the American public, and particularly Trump’s supporters, were not going to accept this and would see through it as a political prosecution. However, there have as of yet been no significant protests or incidents of violence since news of the indictment broke. Fox hosts will certainly continue to complain about this as Trump gets dragged through the criminal justice system, and it’s quite possible that this will serve to bolster the former president’s chances of winning the 2024 Republican primary.

SHOCK Fox News email leak: Telling the truth "has to stop"
Newly leaked emails from Fox News show that executives knew that fact-checking former President Donald Trump's election lies was “bad for business.” Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott sounded the alarm about the financial fallout that the network would suffer if they kept fact-checking Trump's lies. She wrote in an email responding to a segment in which Fox News's on-air talent Eric Shawn fact-checked a Trump falsehood, writing “This has to stop now. . . . This is bad business and there clearly is a lack of understanding [of] what is happening in these shows. The audience is furious and we are just feeding them material. Bad for business.” Other emails from Fox News executives showed that they believed their audience didn’t want the truth and instead wanted to be spoon-fed the lies that their dear leader Donald Trump was perpetuating. These leaked emails provide further proof that Fox News is far more interested in turning a profit than informing its audience of factual information.
From yesterday’s show:
Marjorie Taylor Greene suspended from Twitter for trans "vengeance" warning
The recent shooting in Nashville, Tennessee has sparked a wave of hate and fear-mongering towards the trans community, with many conservative figures attempting to link the shooter's actions to being trans. The congressional Twitter account of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has now been suspended after she shared unfounded information about a "Trans Day of Vengeance" in the wake of the shooting. This led to Greene posting to her personal Twitter account, “My Congressional account was suspended for 7 days for exposing Antifa, who are organizing a call for violence called ‘Trans Day of Vengeance.’ The day after the mass murder of children by a trans shooter. Restore my account immediately.” Greene has long been one of the leading voices of transphobia and anti-LGBT sentiment, making her a particularly disgusting and abhorrent person. The shooting in Nashville has brought the issue of transphobia and hate speech to the forefront, highlighting the need for greater understanding and acceptance of the trans community.

Republicans (sorry....Trumpists) blame a democratic conspiracy on the basis of attacks to Trump. Let's remember that election's results were scrutinized and verified under Trump's Presidency, and by administrators , at many levels, put or confirmed in office by Trump.
Just watched your show on FStv. Have been non paying watcher for a while. I paid for a year as I wanted to support you as you are bombarded by hate from Christofacists and the cult of x45.
I agree with what you tweeted. Only gun reform will stop the mowing down of children and adults.
This show as usual was great. The comedy noir of the people who cling to x45 is good fodder for me. I do hope you have the support you need to weather this storm.
Fascism has to be defeated
Thanks again. Keep up the good work.
