“Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, the radical Dems who haven’t had an original idea in their lives, but detest a president whose performance has been historic, who they mean to destroy out of their own ignorance, pettiness, and hatred of American values, and our heritage. “And President Trump succeeding precisely because he is the great American who exalts those …

“In Washington, you know, there is this toxic atmosphere — some of it created, fairly, by the president himself, with some of these policies. I mean, why in the world he wants to host Doral National golf club in Miami. Why does the president want to host the G-7 there? It just flies in the face of the Constitution. I …

Mediaite reports: An anti-Trump Republican group is airing an absolutely brutal ad knocking President Donald Trump’s decision to hold the next G7 summit at his own resort, and they’re hitting Trump where it hurts: on Fox & Friends. A group called “Republicans for the Rule of Law” cut an ad pegged to Thursday’s announcement that the next G7 Summit will …

“What is Mulvaney even talking about? I just think he’s dumb, I really do. I don’t even think he knows what he’s talking about. That’s my take on it. “So, you got the cowardly Schiff, we know, pressured Ukraine, Ukraine witness to change his testimony. No wonder Nancy Pelosi wants to keep her secret Soviet-style impeachment coup in place and …

The cozying up to the right wing continues: Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg will appear on Fox News on Friday for an interview amid calls from Democrats for his platform to pull ads created by the Trump campaign targeting former Vice President Joe Biden. Fox News representatives confirmed in a press release Wednesday evening that the Facebook CEO would …

Deadline reports: Real clips of Fox News personalities like Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade are spliced throughout the jaw-dropping new trailer for Bombshell — a movie from director Jay Roach about the downfall of late Fox News CEO Roger Ailes and the sexual harassment allegations that precipitated it. The first full trailer for the movie shows clips of Doocy and …

“I was very, very outraged by Kathy Griffin when she had the head of the president, remember, and she was excoriated for it, almost wrecked her career, which rebounded because Trump hatred was sufficient and brought her back and made her popular again. “But I think it’s very dangerous when you start going there. I don’t like it. It’s not …

“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 …

“Let these post-constitutional Democrats dig their own grave, and that means you Republicans in the House must not participate — in any way — in what is a lawless, unconstitutional, illegitimate process, a kangaroo court, a three-ring circus, an unfounded political stunt. “My message to you Republicans is you cannot participate in an illegitimate, unconstitutional process. Let the Democrats, their …

“It’s hard to think of a company that’s hurt this country more than Twitter. Maybe there are some. I can’t think of one. If you look at the hate and the division and  the cruelty that’s now common, it wasn’t common 10 years ago, Twitter is a huge part of that.” – Tucker Carlson, interviewing Rep. Devin Nunes last night …

“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, …

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 …

Quite the eye-opening piece from Vanity Fair: This morning, Sean Hannity told friends the whistle-blower’s allegations are “really bad,” a person briefed on Hannity’s conversations told me. (Hannity did not respond to a request for comment). And according to four sources, Fox Corp CEO Lachlan Murdoch is already thinking about how to position the network for a post-Trump future. A …

“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 …
