"Dias. FOX "News" has my back
.... unlike me for Terri, whatever her name was."
Another Cruz Blacklist Sunday.
Morning AB, All,
Am singing at 10 am mass but will return with commentary, snark and yuks.
Busy, busy week, this week passed. First there’s the Pope….and to begin, I have one thing to say to him…..SHUT UP AND SAY MASS!
Okay, whew, got that off my chest.
Second there’s the resignation of Speaker Boehner, hope he does not cry on his way out.
Now as to the Pope, obviously I have mixed emotions all over the place. I am a Catholic and there is, inevitably, the pride at seeing the titular head of my church so much a part of the American news scene during his visit. Yes it was a slow news week and CNN, Fox, et al, were in a frenzy to obtain coverage. But you don’t see Baptist ministers….Lutheran, even the liberals’ Episcopalian types, getting all this attention.
I’m jus’ sayin’.
But the man talked about immigrants, global warming, women and dear Lord, in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, THE POOR! Can’t have too many poor, gotta love the poor, go find me some poor and let’s love them up.
Here’s my theory…..the left has made being black such an attention getter that you got white people pretending to be black that they too may lead protests and gain recognition a la Martin Luther King.
Well now we’ll have people pretending to be poor that the Pope may love and bless them as well.
I should think being poor should be easier then pretending to be black if now born that way. Although somebody should tell the Pope that the “poor” in America almost always have TV’s, Internet, a car, a nice place to live, food stamps, free medical care…..heh….hey Pope Francis….here’s another tidbit, don’t tell anybody I said it:
Most of these “poor” people choose this lifestyle and it ain’t half bad for not having to work or anything. That’s adults and only American adults of which I speak. I suppose in your native Argentina the poor are worse off, not that people living in Argentina don’t have choices either.
Anyway, thank you AB, as always, for doing this thread. And thank you yon commenters, your input helps set my head straight.
Love a cat fight.
Actually, two of a kind....both are excellent at.........telling lies...
"Dias. FOX "News" has my back
.... unlike me for Terri, whatever her name was."
Alas, do you have a shorter list to Ping today than normal?
It occurred to me over the last week that what is lacking this election cycle is that the Democrats don’t have their own version of Donald Trump, which is the only reason Hillary is not sinking off the page as fast as JEB. The question would be, who would be the Dem answer to Trump.
HRC on MTP?! GMWAS!
It’s interesting that the only place Boehner feels safe is at CBS. I’ll bet he never shows foot again in Ohio, except maybe to move out. He’ll fit right in on K Street.
Did Cruz decided to go and live with the Trappists? Or is the media trying to pretend that he did? What we need is a new Conservative channel...Fox News became the media for RINOs...
Watch for the Hillary cackle, her 'tell' that a question has hit too close to home and that she's about to launch a huge lie in response.
Observations: so long as conservatives pay to subsidize the lamestream media, we shouldn’t complain. The lamestream media lives or dies by eyeballs and their cable tv subsidies. Deny them both and the die, die, die.
One America News streams for FREE via YIPTV.
Interested in Boehner and Newt’s remarks if anyone feels like linking to their performances later I’d appreciate it.
Only station I’m getting today is NBC and I don’t care at all to hear either of the shrews.
OK - 2nd week in a row, Hillary shows up.
"It takes courage to do what you can do"...."it doesn't for those things you can not do."
Ask Ted Cruz about that. Boehner's view of what can and can not be accomplished is the issue here and fatal flaw with this party.
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush; Reps. Tom Cole, R-Okla., and Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C.
Jeb Bush, first Sunday interview in 4 months. Obama is terrible, welfare does not work, people are going to miss Boehner. He intends to get better. Has new economic plan and will start advertising. Against government shut down. Coming soon: new energy plan.
Cole, Mulvaney interview. Tom Cole, Boehner extraordinary and remarkable, Mulvaney Boehner terrible. Cole, Bush is exactly right. Cole comes across as self-satisfied and pompous. Mulvaney comes across as angry.
Sunday Group. Everybody disagrees on Boehner and Planned Parenthood. Discussion of latest Fox Poll. Trump losing steam. Clinton dogged by email scandal. Discussion of Pope’s speech to Congress. Wonderful.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson; U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power; Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif.; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Hosted by Martha Raddatz
New ABC poll shows Carson surge Trump stall. Bernie surge.
Carson interview.
Good that the Speaker quit. Time to move on. Carson says he is surging because people are not listening to pundits. Border security terrible. Raddatz looks stupid trying to nail Carson on Muslim President. Dumb question about Kanye West.
Gingrich interview.
Boehner quit because he is tired and any GOP member of Congress who voted to keep him in the chair would face a primary at home. Anyone of top 3, Trump, Carson and Fiorina will get nomination and win.
Panel
Trump fading. Pope wonderful.
Next story, Putin, Obama meeting. Issues to be discussed. Look back at meeting with Chinese President. Interview with UN Ambassador Samantha Powers. Obama doing great on all issues of foreign policy.
Interview with Congressman Nunes Chairman of House Intelligence Committee. Obama doing terrible on all foreign policy issues. Boehner had problems because GOP majority in House too large.
Story on Pope’s wonderful trip, followed by panel discussion of same. More panel on HRC sinking because of emails. Clip of Bill Clinton comparing emails to Watergate.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton; Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina.
Chuck Todd leads with poll showing HRC sinking and then goes into interview with HRC. HRC says she did nothing wrong with email server but would not do it again. She had nothing to do with deleted emails, her attorneys did it. Voters should forget about emails and focus on her vision. Clips of HRC flip flops. Iraq war, gay marriage, Keystone pipeline. She explains away. Unlike GOP she is flexible.
Review of GOP polls followed by Carly interview. Todd attacks her on Planned Parenthood. She handles it well. Todd asks about flip flop on abortion. She says she has evolved. Todd attacks her on HP record. She give her standard answer. She was offered many CEO jobs after HP but did not want them. Wanted to give back. Boehner resigning a good thing. We will see if McConnell can produce results.
Panel discussion. HRC sinking. NYT columnist attacks Carly on HP record. Karli in sync with the mood of America but not the facts. Rubio is the next plausible candidate.
Last segment on Pope’s wonderful visit.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio; Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders; Republican presidential candidate John Kasich.
John Dickerson interviews Boehner. Boehner no shut down. Will appoint select committee to look into Planned Parenthood. Stayed in as Speaker because Cantor lost. If wanted to stay on would have gotten 400 votes. Did a lot but conservatives did not appreciate him. Conservatives are false prophets. Groups in town that whip people into a frenzy. Ted Cruz is a jackass. Pope’s wonderful trip was wonderful. So wonderful Boehner gets weepy.
Dickerson interviews Bernie Sanders.
Socialist Sanders praises Boehner. Denounces big money in politics. Denounces big money in private hands. Denounces Jeb Bush. Calls for free college and health care, Government should loot the rich. Will not attack HRC, Democrats should have more debates.
After being denounced on program Koch Industries runs ad sponsoring program.
Dickerson comments on Pope’s wonderful trip. Complains about conservative’s treatment of Boehner.
Panel
Everyone grieves over Boehner leaving. Rise of outsiders causes problems for more realistic Presidential candidates like Jeb or Marco. Democrats grieve over Boehner. Trump fading. Bush needs to do better. Has lots of money. HRC is sinking.
Dickerson interviews John Kasich.
Kasich grieves over Boehner. Braggs about what he (Kasich) did 20 years ago, Conservatives have accomplished nothing in the House. Ignore the loud voices and bring people together. World is laughing at us because we are not solving problems. I know how to do things, others just carp and complain.
Dickerson: Bye.
