The Daily Beast reports that the impeachment inquiry has resurrected Trump World claims that Hillary Clinton will enter the 2020 race: “Do not be surprised, my friends, if she decides to try again in 2020,” radio host Rush Limbaugh told his national audience on Sept. 27. “Do not be surprised.” The phantom presidential campaign theory has also been picked up …

“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 …

“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, …

“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, …

“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 …

“If you’re wondering why so many progressives are mourning Bolton’s firing tonight, it’s because Bolton himself fundamentally was a man of the left. There was not a human problem John Bolton wasn’t totally convinced could be solved with the brute force of government. “That’s an assumption of the left, not the right. Don’t let the mustache fool you. John Bolton …

“In the aftermaths of the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, the country scrambled, justifiably, to understand what motivated the killers. Ideology seemed like an obvious reason and we picked that apart at some length. But it could it just be part of the answer? “A toxicology report on the Dayton shooter, for example, revealed that he had several …

Media Matters reports: Despite leaving on an abrupt and suspiciously timed vacation — a commonly used tactic by Fox to deter advertisers from dropping shows after a host says something particularly egregious — Tucker Carlson has continued to lose advertisers. SteinMart, HelloFresh, and Nestle have all severed ties with Tucker Carlson Tonight, and the fast food chain Long John Silver’s …

From the Hollywood Reporter: One major brand that advertised on Wednesday night’s show, the meal kit service HelloFresh, said the spot “was placed through a remnant inventory advertising purchase.” A spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter that “this remainder buy is now complete and the ad is no longer running.” Nestlé, which has advertised the Proactiv skin care product on Carlson’s …

Fox has a history of these alleged vacations: — Laura Ingraham announced she was going on vacation in March 2018 after mocking Parkland survivor and gun control activist David Hogg… — Sean Hannity went on vacation in May 2017 after losing advertisers for promoting the Seth Rich conspiracy theory… — Jesse Watters headed out on vacation in April 2017 after …

“Ever notice that it is the highest-paid people on television who are the most determined to convince you that white supremacy is America’s biggest problem? Why is that? Simple. Every minute you’re angry about race is a minute you’re not thinking about class, which of course is the real divide in this country. “Working class people of all colors have …

The Washington Post reports: On Monday, President Trump condemned white supremacy after a gunman allegedly motivated by anti-immigrant hatred killed 22 and wounded dozens more in El Paso. Trump’s statements came after many Democrats and some Republicans repudiated him for his own intolerant language used against lawmakers and immigrants. But to Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Trump’s sentiment was wholly …

“So, 31 are dead tonight and the only thing that these people can think about is how to terrify Americans into voting for them. These are our so-called political leaders. They are disgusting. They’re also totally unimpressive, unequal to the task of fixing a society, that on some days like today for example, seems on the verge of collapse. “Maybe …

The Huffington Post reports: Fox News host Tucker Carlson ended his show on Tuesday with an attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), claiming that she hates America and is “living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country.” “Ilhan Omar has an awful lot to be grateful for, but she isn’t grateful, not at all. …

“Here’s Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib explaining that Pelosi is oppressing people of color. ‘Give us power because of our skin color’ — that’s the argument Tlaib is making. Many make that argument, Ocasio-Cortez made the very same case during her Democratic primary campaign last year. By definition, it is a racist pitch. It’s every bit as repugnant as a white candidate …

The Daily Beast reports: Fox News host Tucker Carlson said on Sunday that part of “what it means to lead a country” is “killing people.” Carlson made the comment while speaking to Fox & Friends from South Korea, after witnessing President Trump become the first sitting president to walk into North Korean territory. Carlson was reportedly a guest of the …

“You thought this was your country, just because, like your ancestors, you were born here, just because you pay half your income to the government to keep the whole thing going, you thought it was your country. Think again, racist. America belongs to the rest of the world. Your job is to shut up and pay for it. “Complain, and …

“I can’t get past a simple fact, since rape is a real thing, it is an act of violence, and there’s actually quite a bit of it in the United States, and some of it is downplayed, by the way, as you well know. I can’t get over the fact that people accuse rape 25 years or 20 years after …

“Cory Booker’s parents were highly paid IBM executives, he grew up in a rich all-white neighborhood by the way, he attended Stanford, then he got a Rhodes scholarship and went to Oxford. Then he got a law degree from Yale. He’s currently a senator from New Jersey, he will win reelection pretty easily in 2020 if he seeks it. New …

“The desperation to justify, to explain away black academic achievement gap is so great that we’re now claiming that some bureaucrat in the bowels is going to make a difference to whether black kids succeed. The public has to stand up and fight against this myth of bias and say that there are behavioral differences that explain outcomes. “If white …
