Fox News Cooks Up Conspiracy Theories To Turn Roy Moore's Victory Into Trump's Win

To Fox News, even though Trump heavily campaigned for the loser in the Alabama Senate runoff election, and deleted his tweets supporting Luther Strange, he's still a winner! Judge Napolitano was the #OneLuckyGuy on today's "Outnumbered" program and the topic turned to the Alabama Senate race that Trump jumped into feet first. Andrew thought Trump made a big mistake by violating Reagan's rule that you never campaign against another Republican. Supporting one over another is one thing,the judge said, but "It's another thing to bring the machinery of the federal government, including your vice president down there." Marie Harf said, "Karl Rove called Roy Moore this year's Todd Aiken..." (We can only hope Doug Jones can steal a victory.) The panel then softened the blow on Trump by blaming Mitch McConnell as well, which is true. Harris Faulkner, who is fully invested in the Trump camp, continued to make the point that since only a Republican will win the seat, it's not a big deal to Trump. She was extremely excited that social media was "lit up" for Moore this morning. The Judge wondered how bad it was for McConnell, who's PAC spent millions of dollars for Strange.read more

  • Trump Wins The White House. Again.
    Crooks and Liars, Thursday - 11/07/2024 - 06:09 AM

    British comedian Tom Walker's fictional character Jonathan Pie's acerbic take on the election. "The Democrats blew it: A depressing yet predictable result." says the blurb to the video. If you're a Democrat and you voted for Kamala Harris and your nerves are still a bit raw you might want to skip watching this one for a while as Pie doesn't pull punches, either with the Orange Shitgibbon and his supporters, or what he terms a lacklustre, status quo Kamala Harris campaign. Trump wins the White House.
