Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 04/24/2024 - 05:08 PMOh noes. a bunch of legal analysts and never-Trumpers who appear regularly on some other networks are having weekly Zoom meetings! It's a "legal conspiracy." I find it pretty rich that the network that's been coordinating its talking points with Republicans since its inception is angry that anyone who doesn't like Trump, and appears on television somewhere else, is speaking with each other when they're not on the air. Here's Fox & Friends First hosts Carley Shimkus and Todd Piro talking to guest Joe Concha about a recent article in Politico's article on the meetings, which have been going on for years and are nothing new, on this Wednesday morning's show.

Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 04/23/2024 - 06:37 AMNever mind that Trump was the one responsible for holding up the aid for months in the first place. Now lickspittle Lindsey Graham wants to give him credit for it finally passing. Sadly it looks like the evangelicals were the ones that pushed Johnson to finally put the bill up for a vote, not Trump. Here's Graham responding to his fellow Senator JD Vance's criticism of the bill on this weekend's Fox News Sunday: GRAHAM: So this idea, give up on Ukraine, makes the world safer, if you pull the plug on Ukraine because you don't have enough capability, there goes Taiwan.
