yeah when I listen to Rush or Hannity, it seems like it’s about 50/50 which is a bit much

Last I heard, he has a one-hour daily broadcast show and a podcast....

Yes, the article stated his live show is only one hour. I would think that’s the death knell for a political talker.

“”” And after a brief stint as a host for MSNBC in 2003, the network fired him for telling a caller to “get AIDS and die.” “””

ok

Hell, I’ve tweeted Trump and other Repubs and bitched about the illegal alien flow and the lack of justice for the coup people.

I’ve never heard Savage’s show so I don’t know much about him but telling someone to get aids and die tells me a little bit.

I remember seeing a vid of Beck on the radio screeching “get off my phone, get off my phone”, basically acting psychotic. Seems similar

They’re all entertainers who bring a lot of B.S. to the air, but Limbaugh sure isn’t a fraud. He’s actually one of the few characters in the industry who is truly an original.

Ryan was a total dud as SOTH. And even worse, when he announced he was stepping down he remained in the post as a lame duck for six months.

McCain never missed a chance to denigrate the GOP and I think he especially despised President G W Bush, who had the audacity to beat him, and President Trump, who had the audacity to criticize him and also do what he couldn’t do: win the presidency.

59 … It is so easy to point to something like this and say well he said he was going to do it and he hasn’t done it and no matter what the circumstances are he is guilty of failing to keep a promise. And you sound like one of those we’re going to go down the same road.

As another Freeper posted earlier, we have no alternative - it's Trump or death of the Republic. We are on Last Stand Hill. Doesn't mean I can't, or won't be critical of POTUS #45 when the situation warrants it. He has performed far better than I ever expected on many issues. But this illegal alien invasion across our Southern Border will sink our nation in 20 years, probably much sooner. The comic expressed my frustration, and that of a number of other Freepers. As to your original question, here are the actions listed by the female character …

1. Close the border. We've have had violent clashes with Mexico before in the early 20th Century. Seems legit to me. Yeah, I know - the blue-sate governors wont' supply their NG. Last time I checked, POTUS trumps governors regarding the NG.

2. Use the Insurrection Act to expel illegals. Seem legit to me. I guess we'll see if ICE follows through next week.

3. Block remittances to Mexico. Sounds good. I've not seen this seriously discussed.

4. Ship illegals to sanctuary cities. Great sound bite but it wouldn't happen. Just moving them from the border to the interior and turning them loose.

5. Backed off DACA. - Obama's Executive Order. Never understood how the courts can defend an EO being overruled with another EO.

6. Plan to mandate E-verify. Yes, I know the Chamber of Commerce opposes it.

7. Terminate birthright citizenship of anchor babies. Others have explained that this practice was a misinterpretation of an amendment to the Constitution and should be corrected. I agree even if prior court rulings were erroneous. Get the DoJ on board, like that's going to happen.

I liked Michael Savage in the early 2000’s but stopped listening to him after it was disclosed in 2006 that he gave the maximum allowable contribution to Jerry Brown.

I really don’t want trump bots because eventually Trump wont be holding the office of the presidency and we need to think about the next president after him. many of those suppoting Trump cant think past him to the next president and as bad as the rhetoric has gotten we cant afford to let a demacrat take office after he leaves office in 2024. we cant elect someone who rides trumps wake because we will lose if we do. we need someone who can identify the new issues that are just background noise right now but will be the important isues in the future.

Savage was right when he said Borders, Language, and Culture.

I would classify your type of response as classic 'conservative porn'. That is, wishful thinking that projects personal desires for peace & harmony onto the public stage. We see this common sentiment often expressed by conservatives as 'just wanting to be left alone from government'.

But, all tyrants know that 'normal' people, who were bred and conditioned for complacency and obedience over millenia, will do almost anything to avoid conflict. Heck, Jefferson even explicitly stated as such in the DoI. So, what someone like Hitler, or Stalin, or our very own deep state do is keep pushing the envelope until concessions are made. And then the victims collectively exhale a sigh of relief as they truly believe they've successfully evaded the chopping block.

We can put the claim that cutting off benefits will drive illegals back home in the same category as other popular delusions and hope porn. I've got news for you - just trying to exercise that policy initiative will bring forth mass civil disruption. The left are experts are creating fake rights, and fostering a sense of obligation and entitlement. We see it every day, when it's asserted that it's a human right to come to the USA, that it's the citizen's moral obligation to provide them with free food, clothing, housing, education and health care.

Face it, voting isn't going to get us out of this. Once you cross that logical barrier, then it's easy to see what's happening (or lack thereof).

I’ve never listened to Mr. Savage and after reading this article wouldn’t start now.

Close the border? You mean lock the door in the wall on the border...oh wait, we don’t have a wall because the Congress doesn’t want it and we are not a dictator ship.

I am not disagreeing with anything you say but I am willing to let this thing play out because if no one else sees it happening I do given his move on tariffs for Mexico, talks with Guatamala, cutting off aide to Guatamala, El Salvador and Honduras. They realize Trump is serious and he holds all the cards.

No biggie - I’m sure it’s true though.
