I don't think this is what CNN aimed for. Particularly since the loss of regular viewers is likely to be real and measurable.

Comer's "bombshell" couldn't even convince Fox and Friends...

Trump would sacrifice his children without hesitation if it served his own interests. Swearing on them - after refusing to testify under oath (and lying that he'd been blocked from doing so) - means about as much as him swearing on his cleaning staff.

So, Tucker's rabid fans are denouncing Fox and demanding that Carlson be Trump's running mate.

So many questions re: Tucker and Fox. Was he ousted because he was so central in costing them almost a billion $? If so, what about Pirro, Bartiromo, Watters, Hannity, etc. who were just as culpable? Someone at Fox told the WPost that it was partly because the discovery documents exposed his contempt for Fox management. But do they really care about his loyalty if he makes them $$$ and stirs up the base?

Lot of questions to be answered.

There's no such thing as "voiding an impeachment." It happened. The trials occurred. They're historical facts.

Gee, the public is even more sour than before on the R House, sees it as interested only in power and stunts, hates its policy priorities, and would blame it for dysfunction.

Pity that didn't stop it winning in the first place (Rs did narrowly win the House popular vote... it wasn't just gerrymandering; though they won by much less than normal in a midterm). But Rs better watch their political backsides.

Some positive news about a brilliant child and people being kind.

Incredibly, #TFG is actually howling about Biden's classified documents (and making yet another racist attack on Elaine Chao, screaming that Biden sold documents to China via her).

He actually thinks classified docs is a good issue for him.

So does Kevin McCarthy, who vowed "investigations" while dismissing Trump's mass theft with "how could he know what was in the boxes"?

And sure enough, their absurd lies are forcing the media to do more fact checks on how much worse Trump's case is.

There is never any bottom for the orange stain, #TFG.

My god. Blake Hounshell of the NYT has died suddenly.

So "Diamond" of "Diamond and Silk" has apparently died. It was announced by the orange maniac on his social media site.

It was reported around Thanksgiving that "Diamond" was hospitalized with covid. She was of course unvaccinated.

I doubt it's a coincidence that the Reuters image makes it look like Kevin is hitting himself in the head with the gavel.

@Helical_Code I think it's extremely unlikely there will be a default... though there will be high drama and stupid R brinksmanship about it, as always.

But there are clear majorities in both houses that don't want a default. That was why Fitzpatrick, who voted for Kevin, also *publicly* warned him about discharge petitions to bypass him and the MAGAs, if necessary. I think he chiefly had default and Ukraine aid in mind when he said that.

Of course Kevin, who spent the past week telling the MAGAs that the rules package will guarantee them total control over the universe forever, spent the weekend and today assuring the "moderates" that it doesn't really mean anything and is just business as usual.

The crisis is unavoidable. They're just delaying it.
