“What we are about to see play out is just a big show trial kind of what you would see in Cuba, the former Soviet Union, Venezuela, even Iran. The political target is afforded zero rights. “You see this, we got it right here. This is not worth anything, this offers none of the protections and due process that Newt …

Media Matters has the transcript: The president and first lady were at the game last night. They got there right around the time that it started, and they stayed a pretty long time. They were greeted with mixed reaction but they were out there smiling, waving to everybody as you can see in the crowd. So that’s what happened right …

“Again, there’s nothing in the president’s call, at all. He released it. There’s like 60 people on the call — wonder if that means any time I’ve talked to him, if he — if it’s being recorded. That’s not going to bode well for me. Good grief. Sometimes I’ve gotten so paranoid, you just start talking to them. ‘By the …

“I really believe in reading this, Ambassador Taylor — I don’t know him. I mean, he’s a career diplomat, he was with the Bush administration, but they despise his — the president’s style, his distrust for the global elite, and they are the global elite. “I hate to say it so, just, crassly, but it seems like it’s the revenge …

“The whole process is corrupt. All of it is based on nonsense. All of it is based on a detachment from any objective truth, any — not even an inkling of clinging to reason and reality and common sense, and it is a level of madness that we better stop as a country, because if we don’t, you’re not going …

The Daily Beast reports: Right-wing talker and Fox News host Mark Levin hilariously claims that President Donald Trump, who is currently embroiled in an impeachment inquiry for allegedly pressuring a foreign leader to dig up dirt on a political rival, hasn’t even had a “hint of scandal” during his time in the White House. “And they kept the [John] Kennedy …

Media Matters reports: Tonight, Fox News host Sean Hannity will interview President Donald Trump for the 13th time on his prime-time program Hannity. That’s equal to the total number of interviews Trump has done on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC combined.

“This the left’s plot to remake America. Give me a break! Who is this guy [the whistleblower]? What we’re experiencing right now is, the CIA, an intelligence agency, attempting a coup against the president of the United States. And that’s what’s going on here. This is intelligence agencies attempting to take out a president.” – Jeanine Pirro, speaking on Fox …

Media Matters reports: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently launched a new podcast, and the first episode was largely devoted to Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue heaping praise on President Donald Trump with the help of former White House press secretary and current Fox News contributor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. During the 20-plus-minute podcast, Perdue and Sanders spent much of their …

“Let me take you right to Twitter, because I think it’s frankly a bit of Twitter trolling by the president. If you sort of read into the tone of the tweets — yes, he’s talking about treason and talking about impeachment and things like that. But I think he’s sort of poking fun just a bit here. At least that’s …

“We’re at the end of a second full week of total saturation Ukraine coverage. That means every channel, every hour of the day. After all this time, you’d think it would obvious what exactly all the fuss is about. You’d think every person in America would understand what crimes Donald Trump is being accused of committing. But no. Even now, …

“You have to understand the reason why she go around disparaging and demeaning our president is because what is she hiding? The president is draining the swamp and we want to know what is she hiding? She is probably getting a lot of kickbacks and some paddywhacks. “And it’s probably about to be exposed and that’s why she always go …

Politico reports: President Donald Trump on Thursday proposed starting a news network to counter one of his favorite media targets. “CNN is a voice that really seems to be the voice out there and it’s a terrible thing for our country,” Trump said, diverging from his speech on protecting Medicare for seniors at an event in The Villages, Fla. “We …

“You know, if it wasn’t for your show, Sean, they would destroy him absolutely. You are the difference between Donald J. Trump and Richard Nixon. In Nixon’s case, if he had someone that stuck up for him, he wouldn’t have been motivated to cover up that burglary, he would’ve let the perpetrators get their just desserts.” – Geraldo Rivera, last …

“Part of this is our fault in the media. We set up these just terrible incentives where you don’t get on television unless you say extreme and mindless things. What’s surprising, though, is how so many of these extreme and mindless statements come from people with long and apparently distinguished careers, debasing themselves in order to be on television. “Really, …

Mediaite reports: Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera stated he’d like to beat up the anonymous whistleblower whose complaint helped kick-start an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. “This is gonna be what the impeachment is all about, maybe one or two little other things fall in,” Rivera said. “So it’s going to be the president of the United States in …

“After days and days and days and days, nonstop psychotic hysteria about a phone call between President Trump and the president of Ukraine, called it — nobody knew the contents of, even without knowing the contents, the raging Democrats, they announced impeachment anyways, with no knowledge. “Now after the impeachment announcement, the transcript has, in fact, been — released. This …

“It’s about power. Duh. You knew that. That’s what it is always about, power. Nobody pushing for impeachment actually cares about secret deals with foreign leaders. Oh, please — much less justice or the truth. Again, these are the most cynical people in the United States of America. What they care about and you knew this already was winning the …

Popular Information reports: The “I Love America” Facebook page boasts 1.1 million fans, with viral content that reaches more Facebook users than some of the largest media outlets in the United States.

Mediaite reports: As Fox & Friends noted that Taylor Swift called Barack Obama’s presidency an “amazing time” when America was respected by foreign nations, Brian Kilmeade countered by blaming Obama for the Russian invasion of Georgia (which happened during the Bush administration). Steve Doocy also noted that Swift used part of her Rolling Stone interview to condemn a white nationalist …
