The folks on Fox News are not holding back their criticism of how Trump and the Pentagon are handling the war in Iran. Jesse Watters is the only cheerleader for the war left. Ingraham and Hannity largely avoid talking about it. All of these clips are from last week.
Debbie jumping into the mix was my favorite part of the entire episode. I love how Conan synced up his chaotic energy with her instantly and they just kept riffing. Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful ending.
I often wonder what children think when they hear a powerful adult speak like this. Are they just as inured to it as much of the country, and certainly Washington, seems to be? What do you hear?
To spell it out: The activist/journalist who filmed this video of @washingtonpost’s Heidi Levine being brutally assaulted on Friday was just violently arrested by Israeli police while documenting a military raid on an olive harvest in Taybeh—where diplomats were attacked on Saturday.
Reporter: How was waiving those sanctions on Russia to secure the release of Hubbard not giving something to Russia?
Trump: Are you a stupid person? Who do you work for?
Reporter: ABC News.
Trump: You're a stupid person. Your network is the worst.
Reporter: To the point of the question, Mr. President…
Sean Hannity clutched his pearls tightly when Troy Jackson said, "Aw, shut up," to Susan Collins during a debate. I've included just a few of Trump's harsh comments to Kamala Harris and the press. Just yesterday Trump repeatedly snapped at a journalist in the Oval Office.
Jesse Watters has worked at Fox News for 24 years and is just now discovering 'fear porn' helps motivate people to vote. Fox News is fear porn 24/7. The network is an emotional roller coaster of paranoia and fear that promotes racism, bigotry and xenophobia.
My take: Putin gave up nothing by releasing a 74-year-old American held as a pawn for this type of moment. Putin is not a humanitarian, despite how Mr Witkoff addressed him. And whereas President Trump says he gave up nothing for Stephen Hubbard's release, you will hear all the experts correctly say that he did: busting his own sanctions for a diesel deal with Putin that could put $4 billion into his war chest; inviting Putin to the G20; and dumping Putin's victim, Ukraine, face down in the mud, as it tries to defend its sovereignty and its freedom. You’ve heard the historians call all this appeasement, going against America's own democratic values.

@JessicaTarlov It’s almost as if someone wrote a “How to destroy your admin” guide and Trump followed every step.
