Dems Continue Bold Strategy Of Nominating Every Guy Who Looks Like He Owns 3 Burner Phones

"Jah das ist mein Totenkopf"

MAINE, ME, Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner entered the weekend with what political analysts are calling “a truly inspiring amount of self-inflicted damage,” after another round of bizarre allegations piled onto a campaign already held together with duct tape and panic.

Platner, who is attempting to unseat Republican Sen. Susan Collins, has spent the past several weeks assuring voters that his Nazi tattoo was somehow misunderstood, his sexting scandal was overblown, his Kik account was totally normal, and the growing accusations of emotional abuse from multiple women are all just part of a vast right-wing conspiracy against extremely online progressive men.

“The Democrats sure know how to pick them,” sighed one exhausted voter while deleting his “Believe Survivors” yard sign for the third time this election cycle.

Things became even stranger after Platner appeared on MS Now with Chris Hayes in what critics described as “the journalistic equivalent of being tucked into bed with warm milk and a bedtime story.” During the interview, Platner denied wrongdoing while somehow also admitting that the incriminating texts from the sexting scandal would “probably” leak eventually.

Political observers were particularly fascinated by the fact that Platner suddenly discovered the ability to deny allegations on television after apparently forgetting to do so when The New York Times first contacted him before publication.

Former Bernie Sanders aide Symone Sanders noticed the discrepancy immediately, reportedly asking the forbidden question in Democratic media circles: “Wait, if none of this happened, why didn’t you say that before?”

Comrade Sanders

Sources inside the campaign say staffers briefly considered answering the question before remembering they work in politics.

Meanwhile, viewers noted that MS Now carefully avoided asking whether the women involved were of legal age, whether the exchanges were consensual, or literally anything that might cause discomfort to Democratic operatives watching at home.

“It’s important journalists ask tough questions,” said one network producer before courageously asking Platner how difficult this has all been for him personally.

Campaign insiders remain optimistic, however, insisting that no matter what additional scandals emerge, voters will ultimately focus on the issues that matter most, like stopping fascism by electing a man with a Nazi tattoo and several mystery messaging apps.

At publishing time, CNN had reportedly launched a follow-up investigation confirming that Somali fraudsters in Minnesota are actually “victims of harmful stereotypes” and probably deserve another federal grant.

MSNBC/MSDNC anchors face huge pay cuts as Comcast severs ties with network



Comcast is finally pulling the plug on MSNBC, the media giant announced this Wednesday. This is tough luck for the overpaid and increasingly out-of-touch anchors who work there (temporarily). MSNBC, along with other cable channels that aren't doing so well, but not Bravo which is all about reality TV, will be turned into a separate company that anyone can buy stock in by the end of next year. This means MSNBC will no longer be part of the supposedly more serious and neutral NBC News, which often shares stories, fact-checking (take that with a grain of salt), and guest commentators with MSNBC. Comcast executives informed MSNBC employees on Wednesday that the channel might lose its name and the iconic peacock logo after this split. Plus, those huge p

The decision hints that Comcast's bigwigs can no longer explain to their investors why they keep paying top dollar to stars like Rachel Maddow, Joe Scarborough, and Joy Reid. Even though MSNBC and other cable channels owned by Comcast still bring in cash, their earnings have dropped a lot lately. That's why the higher-ups and those with money in the company are looking to dump what they call "declining assets." When word got out about the plan on Tuesday, Comcast's stock went up after the market closed. The hosts at MSNBC have done well for themselves, making big bucks by stirring up political fervor for a shrinking crowd of older folks. After this year's election, in prime time, MSNBC only managed to pull in 65,000 viewers aged 25-54, which is less than 10% of their total audience.

"This is sort of a very clear, direct statement by Comcast," Rich Greenfield, cofounder of the research firm LightShed Partners, told CNBC, which, by the way, is also being spun off into the new entity. "They are exiting the cable network business. This is them saying we don’t want to be in this business. This is no longer a growth business. It’s going to be around for a long time, but it’s just no longer a growth business."

After MSNBC and its related channels like USA, E!, and Oprah's Oxygen are spun off into their own company, the new bosses will likely seize the chance to streamline operations by laying off employees and cutting pay. The ridiculous situation where MSNBC anchors rake in millions to talk about extreme topics like Hitler to a shrinking crowd of just tens of thousands in total, and even fewer in the key 25-54 age group, will come to an end. Sure, some of the big names might talk about leaving, but their options are limited. CNN? Forget it. They're already in the process of downsizing too. The days of easy money are over, and frankly, most people in America don't seem too upset about it.

Here's a peek at a few of the outrageous MSNBC anchor salaries that executives at the new, yet-to-be-named media company are likely to cut dramatically:

Rachel Maddow [aka Madcow]

Once MSNBC and other channels like USA, E!, and Oprah's Oxygen become their own separate company, the new leaders will probably jump at the chance to make the business more efficient by letting some people go and drastically reduce salaries. The crazy part where MSNBC hosts get paid big bucks for discussing over-the-top subjects like Hitler to only a few thousand viewers, and even less in the important 25-54 age group, will be over. Sure, some famous hosts might think about quitting, but their choices are slim. CNN? No way. They're already cutting back. The era of making easy money is done, and honestly, most Americans aren't too bothered by it.

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski [aka Mr. and Mrs. Scarborough

They'll say or do just about anything to boost their ratings and promote themselves. This big-shot couple at MSNBC, known for being bullies, sneaky, looking out for themselves, and being total hypocrites, just went to Mar-a-Lago to meet President-elect Trump. Remember, these are the same people who called him a "racist" and "fascist" like Hitler during the election. They probably got a huge pay deal like Rachel Maddow did. Scarborough, in particular, has gotten really out of touch. Scarborough claimed that the current Joe Biden was sharpest ever, which was clearly not true, especially since Biden's debate went so badly it made him quit the 2024 race. Despite once criticizing Al Sharpton for his anti-Semitic remarks, Scarborough often has him on to talk about stuff, even anti-Semitism.

Chris Hayes [aka Rachel Maddow-ish]

Chris Hayes, often referred to by his colleagues as "the male Rachel Maddow" but without her knack for reading from a teleprompter, tries to copy her smug attitude and factual inaccuracies. He's also facing a defamation lawsuit. When Hayes isn't disrespecting the military or advocating for transgender surgeries for kids, he's good at pushing racially charged comments on his show. Recently, he sat there, nodding, while Sherrilyn Ifill, ex-president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, made unsubstantiated claims that Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick for Defense Secretary, was a white supremacist. This was too much even for Michael LaRosa, a long-time Democratic strategist and ex-MSNBC producer, who commented, "This stuff has to stop," pointing out that such rhetoric contributed to political losses.

Joy Reid

Joy Reid, who a lot of corporate leaders would probably want to get rid of because she's a political risk, actually got a promotion in 2020. This was even after she tried to say her old blog was "hacked" when people found old posts that were homophobic and anti-Semitic. Since then, her influence at MSNBC, a network that obviously doesn't have a problem with anti-Semitism, has just gotten bigger, but her show has turned into a platform for extreme racial issues and all sorts of wild claims. She brings on so called "experts" who say Republicans are making it impossible for Black people to vote, has accused Republicans of teaching people about "inflation," and recently criticized Latino men for voting for Trump, saying they're betraying their own race and families. None of this is based in reality and is itself racist.

Al Sharpton [aka Sharptongue]

Although Sharpton's official salary isn't high, people argue he's a race baiting idiot and is still getting too much, considering his controversial past. He was behind the 1991 Crown Heights riots, a major anti-Semitic event in America. Yet, the make-believe Reverend still collects a paycheck. The Kamala Harris campaign gave $500,000 to his group, the National Action Network, right before Sharpton had a cozy chat with Harris on his MSNBC show. This group is pretty cozy with MSNBC's head, Rashida Jones, who got a special award from them in 2021 and 2024.

Nicolle Wallace

Nicolle Wallace, who used to work for the Republicans but switched sides when she moved to New York and started getting paid to criticize them, is famous for pushing the narrative around Michael Avenatti, who was later convicted. She's adored by the #Resistance crowd, often having "experts" on her show who compare January 6 to the 9/11 attacks, saying the former was worse. After her 2019 divorce, Wallace started dating Michael Schmidt from the New York Times, who's been on her show a lot. (They're now married.) Schmidt is working on a Netflix show with Noah Oppenheim, the former NBC News president who's been accused of stopping Ronan Farrow from reporting on Harvey Weinstein's sexual misconduct.

NBC News

NBC News, which will stay under Comcast's wing, is thought to be in trouble by those in the know. There's a chance they'll have to let some people go and lower the huge salaries of their anchors to make up for the money they'll lose from MSNBC and CNBC. The network itself isn't doing so great either. The Today show, their biggest money-maker, has lost a ton of viewers over the years, and Nightly News with Lester Holt, who reportedly makes about $10 million annually, has seen its ratings in the key 25-54 demographic drop by half since 2018. After the split, Comcast might decide to scale down NBC News, which could mean less pay for stars like Holt and Savannah Guthrie, who makes around $18 million for hosting the Today show. Interestingly, Guthrie is married to Michael Feldman, a Democratic strategist who used to work with Al Gore.

Fox News ratings collapse by half with Tucker Carlson gone



Tucker Carlson's firing from Fox News had a similar effect that the cross-dresser Dylan Mulvaney had on Bud Light sales. The network has now experienced a dramatic plunge in its ratings, particularly its 8 p.m. prime-time slot. It went from an average of 3.2 million with Tucker to 2.6 million without him on Monday, and the key word is "average."

On Tuesday, it looked as if the ratings were circling the bowl with a mere 1.7 million viewers tuning in--that's about as many people ride the roofs of one train in India.

Round and round the ratings circled and by Wednesday, Fox experienced a catastrophic drop to 1.3 million viewers, or a 59% drop from Tucker's average ratings.

The network has yet to announce a new host for Carlson's slot, and is rotating popular hosts to fill in for now, starting off with Brian Kilmeade.

And while Fox is circling the bowl, Newsmax is soaring as its 8 p.m. average audience with "Eric Bolling The Balance" increase by 261% to an average 534,000 viewers. Now that isn't anywhere close to what Tucker and Fox in general had, the future looks bright for the network. The fact that Newsmax is available in 24 million fewer homes than Fox, the relative viewership is quite impressive and they hope to gain even more subscribers.




Nielsen data shows that Newsmax was drawing 57% of Fox's audience on a proportional basis Wednesday at 8 p.m. and they explain that it's currently free on most major OTT (over the top) platforms, giving it 400,000 additional viewers at the 8 p.m. time slot not counted by Nielsen, and they even surpassed CNN with a .43 share against "Anderson Cooper 360" at a mere .37.

MSNBC was also a winner Wednesday, with the androgynous Chris Hayes' show, "All in With Chris Hayes" topping Fox with close to 1.34 million viewers.

All the way to the bank

Tucker posted a 2-minute video at 8:01 p.m. Wednesday and it gained over 60,000,000 views by Thursday afternoon. It did not directly attack Fox News or any of their staff nor speak of his termination, but it did suggest that he has future plans to make a media comeback, and he seemed to have made veiled swipes at his former company.

Here is some of the text of the video:
"Our current orthodoxies won't last," he said. "They're brain-dead. Nobody actually believes them. Hardly anyone's life is improved by them. This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won't.

"The people in charge know this, that's why they're hysterical and aggressive. They're afraid. They have given up persuasion, they're resorting to force. But it won't work.

"When honest people say what's true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time the liars, who are trying to silence them, shrink. They become weaker. That's the iron law of the universe. True things prevail.

"Where can you still find Americans who say true things? There aren't many places left but there are some, and that's enough. As long as you can hear the words, there is hope."
So we can be quite certain that Tucker Carlson will not go quietly into the night. And while you may not see eye-to-eye on everything Tucker professes, he at least has the courage to do the professing.

Most of all, do not believe everything people might say good or bad about him--especially the bad--they cannot read his mind, and they might have their own agenda for saying those things. Always consider the source.

MSNBC Hamas sympathizer wants to protect terrorists from Israeli response to their attacks



In an effort to minimize the casualties of Hamas and give them equal footing in their quest to exterminate all of Israel's Jews and then the world's Jewish population, MSNBC anti-Zionist, anti-Semitic host, Chrissy Hayes suggested that the U.S. provide Hamas with missile defense technology so they can thwart the good guys from stopping their efforts to kill them. 

The androgynous Hayes even wondered out loud, "Can we get an Iron Dome for Gaza?"

Hayes, who claims to identify as a man, made his absurd statement on his "All In" show on Tuesday as he spoke to Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) about Israel's success in keeping its civilian population from being slaughtered from what turned out to be over 4,000 missiles fired from Gaza, in a conflict the Hamas terrorist group initiated.

Murphy claimed that both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the leadership of the Hamassholes benefit in their internal politics from a longer war. Hayes then observed how the Iron Dome missile defense system whose construction was aided by the U.S., has helped minimize Israeli deaths and injuries, which didn't seem fair to Hayes, in spite of Hamas starting the conflict.

Hayes said: "You know, there's been these images I've seen of the Iron Dome system, right? This missile defense system the U.S. partly funded that has been intercepting Hamas rockets into Israel, and those rockets are being fired as a Palestinian human rights lawyer said on this show last night, 'indiscriminately civilians, a war crime by definition,' and the Iron Dome has worked quite well.... But I look at those images, and I think, "Well, good, that's good. I'm glad that those rockets are being intercepted."

He or she then suggested the U.S. provide a similar system to Gaza (which has been run by a terrorist group since 2007) for the purpose of preventing Israeli attacks from hitting Gaza's civilians [that Hamas uses as human shields because they can use civilian deaths as propaganda and don't give a rat's anus if civilians die]:

"And also, there's some part of me that's like, 'Can we get an Iron Dome for Gaza?' Can the American taxpayer foot the bill to protect innocent children in Gaza where there's two million people in one of the most densely populated parts of the world so they don't have death rain down upon them?" He is like a schmuck of the anti-Semitic kind.

Senator Murphy correctly pointed out that it would be against U.S. policy to supply anything of a military nature to Gaza as long as it is run by the Hamas terrorist group. 

Gee, ya think?

It's becoming increasingly more acceptable to openly display your anti-Semitic cretinous thinking, just like it's okay to hate White men for being white and being a man, and for hating America for being a free nation.

MSNBC's elitist racist Chrissy Hayes on Trump supporters: "White men with 4 year degree and disposable income enough to buy a boat"


Androgynous MSNBC anchor Chrissy Hayes does not like Trump's voter base and also appears to be self-loathing as extrapolated from his or her comments about "white men." Hayes is also a snob about education, as if that defines the intelligence and character of the individual. In fact, Hayes believes he or she is smarter than his or her plumber and this can be handy because he or she is full of crap.

On Sunday evening Hayes was flirting with Washington Post political reporter Dave Weigel on Twitter. Hayes made it quite clear what he or she thinks of President Trump’s voter base, labeling them as “white men without a four-year degree, and disposable income enough to buy a boat.”

Hayes evidently has a four-year degree and it has taught him or her that lesbian dance theory and gender studies has made Hayes better and smarter than everyone with less than a four-year degree. Amazing.

Weigel, another anal sphincter snob slob, precipitated Hayes’ condescending, unfunny and mean-spirited remark by tweeting, “All those years scouring diners for Trump voters when long form writers could have been chilling on boats.”

The pair admitted they scour diners looking for Trump voters who like good coffee and hate Starbucks burnt crap because, well, use your imagination.

Hayes giggled, “no but actually! It’s a better representation of the base, for real,” and then asked Weigel about his astrological sign.

Weigel followed: “I keep trying to make this point but don’t want to be patronizing. The Florida man with a HS degree and a pile of disposable income really is a perfect Trump supporter.”

What a pair of unimaginative effete snobbish jerks; they're a perfect couple.

Prissy Chrissy Hayes says Trump shouldn't be believed about Soleimani's threat to US

Misanthropes Spouting Nothing But Crap (MSNBC) host Chrissy Hayes says that there is no reason to trust President Trump's claim that the terrorist Quds leader Qassem Soleimani posed an "imminent threat" to America.

Hayes, who currently identifies as a man, argued that the administration can't be trusted because like all presidents before him, Trump has told lies in the past but Hayes never did.

"There is absolutely no reason for anyone in the U.S. to credit anything the president or his administration says about matters of life and death and war and peace until it is demonstratively verified. Full stop," the so-called reporter said Friday.

Hayes' bloviating came after the administration said that the now dead terrorist was plotting to take American lives in Iraq and killed him in an act of self-defense. Doing so, the administration argued, was a form of de-escalation -- a claim Hayes called ridiculous.

"I'm sorry but no one can honestly believe that," Hayes said. Hayes pointed to Iranian leaders vowing to retaliate, and the State Department's own advisory telling Americans to "immediately" leave Iraq.

But even if what Chrissy says is true, it isn't as if Soleimani wasn't directly responsible for the deaths of over 600 Americans, 1,000 Britishers, and even Muslims.

Soleimani commanded the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Quds Force [IRGC-QF] since 1998. The IRGC-QF, as everyone knows, is the terror arm of the Iranian regime and whose job it is to plan and carry out terrorism and military operations outside Iran.

Under Gen. Soleimani’s command, the IRGC-QF has fueled destabilizing sectarian conflicts throughout the Middle East for decades and even now continues to wage an illegal campaign of violence, terrorism and assassinations.

With Soleimani's leadership, oversight and guidance, the IRGC-QF planned and carried out terrorist attacks across six continents as well as in the USA, and has been designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the USA and Soleimani himself as a Specifically-Designated Global Terrorist.

The guy was directly responsible for arming, funding and training proxy groups in Iraq, Bahrain, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and elsewhere, which have led to the death and suffering of tens of thousands of people, along with hundreds of Americans. These Soleimani-supported proxies are known to kill innocent men, women and children and prolong their suffering.

What do you think he was doing in Iraq, Chrissy? He had, in the past, provided weapons to militias there that undermine the sovereignty of Iraq and threaten Iraq's security forces.

Soleimani is dead, Chrissy. Screw him and screw you for attacking the only U.S. President with the balls to end his disgusting life.

Rest in pieces, Qassem.

Androgynous MSNBC host says Trumpers 'must be destroyed'--'It cannot be negotiated with'

Mainly Snotty Neanderthals Being Cynical (MSNBC) host [with an androgynous name and appearance] Chris Hayes 'latté vented' a few days ago about how progressives [aka Constitutional regressives] should approach the kind of sentiments President Trump's supporters expressed during his North Carolina rally on Wednesday.

His supporters, who chanted "send her back" at the mention of anti-Semite and Minnesota freshman congresswoman Ilhan Omar reveled in their own "Americanness and primacy at the expense of others," Mzz. Hayes said on Thursday.

Hayes, who hosts "All In," an anti-Trump clown show accused his supporters of exhibiting a type of "passion" and "rage" that fueled Republican politics. "That sentiment at the core of the coalition cannot be pried loose and it cannot be negotiated with and it cannot be appeased," Mzz. Hayes said.

In the spirit of the lovely Marianne Williamson, Hayes said,  "It must be peacefully, non-violently, politically destroyed with love, compassion, and determination -- but utterly confronted and destroyed," Hayes added. "That is the only way to break the coalition apart."

Hayes went on to suggest that Trump's coalition was "in too deep" and "shamed themselves too much" to leave based on various interests. "The heart of the thing must be ripped out," he said. "The darkness must be banished. The people who feel moral revulsion at that display we saw last night must collectively mobilize in greater numbers than the chanters."

Marianne Williamson said of Hayes' remarks, "Is this person, this Hayes, sleeping with anybody?"

Look, Trump was wrong about standing there while his audience chanted "Send her back!" He didn't react quickly as he claimed--he waited a full 13 seconds, but he didn't encourage the chant as he always does when he agrees. It looks more as if he was taken by surprise. He should have stopped it in its tracks but he didn't. However, the media and the left [but I repeat myself] in congress are now comparing him to the late Sen. John McCain when he didn't allow a woman in his audience to get away with calling Obama a Muslim. Yet when McCain was running, these same people attacked him for being a racist, bigot, homophobe and whatever the word of the day was the Democrats use to smear Republicans.

Everyone knew who Trump was when he ran and was elected to office. The left will blame Trump for everything they can. I forget who said it on Fox News the other day, but he said [and I paraphrase] that if Trump walked on water crossing the Delaware River, the left would say "He can't swim."

Chris Hayes is just another media opinion hack with no real journalistic integrity, like the rest of them who see nothing positive about Trump's accomplishments. This is why he is our president.

MSNBC makes wild accusation re: Saudi Arabia bribing Trump

Androgynous MSNBC host Chris Hayes on Wednesday suggested, without any evidence, that President Trump was being secretly bribed by Saudi Arabia in exchange for allowing them to get away with killing those who criticize them.

Hayes, whose gender has yet to be publicly announced, tweeted: "Would be nice to definitely rule out that the Saudis are paying the president massive bribes in exchange for tacit approval for murdering critics!"

Would be fantastic to rule out that Hayes is not an agent of Russia and has never had sex with Vladimir Putin nor any on his staff.

Hayes wasn't done: "And it would be easy to do: give Americans some actual transparency into the president's personal and Trump Org finances."

And it would be easy to check: give Americans the opportunity to inspect all emails and documents on Hayes' phone, computer and all devices.

Hayes' conspiracy theory is just example of how the media is out to get the president no matter what, and they will make any and all kinds of crazy claims to do that. [This is not to say that Trump has never made crazy claims--this isn't about him, it's about the media.]
Khashoggi enters Consulate, never leaves
Hayes' bull crap comes in response to the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, "a well-known and well-connected Saudi journalist, self-exiled in the United States, who had for months sounded the alarm over increasingly autocratic moves by the crown prince," The Los Angeles Times reported.

Khashoggi wsa last seen on October 2nd entering the Saudi Consulate in Turkey while his fiancee waited outside. He went there to get a marriage license. 

The Times said that "media reports have citied Turkish investigators as saying they believed he was killed soon after entering the building and his corpse cut to pieces and disposed of by an elite Saudi security team."
