Threats To MSNBC, Typical Of Trump, Are Weird And Dangerous

Donald Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, which he launched to allow him to rage against his successor and perceived enemies daily, to lash out at MSNBC for daring to be critical of the former President. You can't make this stuff up. On top of that, Trump falsely claimed that MSNBC "uses FREE government approved airwaves."

"MSNBC (MSDNC) uses FREE government approved airwaves, and yet it is nothing but a 24 hour hit job on Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party for purposes of ELECTION INTERFERENCE," he wrote. "Brian Roberts, its Chairman and CEO, is a slimeball who has been able to get away with these constant attacks for years."

"It is the world's biggest political contribution to the Radical Left Democrats who, by the way, are destroying our Country," he added. "Our so-called "government" should come down hard on them and make them pay for their illegal political activity. Much more to come, watch!"

The guy who wants back in the White House wants the government to come down on a network "hard" because they hurt his tender feelings.

MSNBC's Chris Hayes said he doesn't know what "triggered" Trump's post and noted that Trump doesn't understand the difference between broadcast and cable. Hayes warned viewers that Trump is speaking of his intent and that he should be taken seriously because Trump's "whining" could turn "into real punitive action."

Brian Stelter, who has been the brunt of attacks from Trump supporters during his time with CNN, weighed in.

Hunter Biden: I'll Testify, But Let's Make It Public, Mkay?

The President's son, Hunter Biden, is like crack to Republicans. Amazingly, they think they have something because of Hunter's past as a drug addict. Nothing from that sort of life looks pretty; ask Donald Trump Jr., although he won't admit to his past—all signs on my drug-ometer point to Junior still partaking in blow.

Biden has offered to testify publicly before Congress in response to a subpoena from Republicans investigating nearly every aspect of his business dealings as they pursue an impeachment inquiry into his father, as they vociferously try to tie Hunter's past misgivings to his father. Hunter Biden did not grant Republicans with a closed-door meeting as requested. This will be public, and it will take place in December.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) really doesn't want Hunter to testify publicly.

🚨STATEMENT ON ABBE LOWELL LETTER🚨

"Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else. That won't stand with House Republicans.

"Our lawfully issued subpoena to Hunter Biden requires him to appear for a deposition on…

Kevin McCarthy Says The U.S. Never Gained Territory Through Wars

Republicans recently ditched the terminally stupid McCarthy as House Speaker because he couldn't navigate in the MAGA-infested waters, replacing him with a relatively unknown Theocrat in Mike Johnson who advocates on behalf of the primacy of God's will over the mundane world of politics.

And they somehow expect things to get better.

Source: Political Zoom

Kevin McCarthy, who rarely passes on an opportunity to display what an idiot he is, posted to Twitter yesterday a video of himself speaking to an audience and forcefully asserting that “In every single war that America has fought, we have never asked for land afterward.”

Yes, that would be the same Kevin McCarthy whose own district, the California 20th, was ceded to the United States – along with the rest of California, Utah, Nevada, and large chunks of Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico – by Mexico in 1848 at the conclusion of the Mexican-American War. And of course that is only the most obvious of contradictions to McCarthy’s rediculous and historically ignorant assertion, the U.S. also acquired territories from Britain after the Revolutionary and 1812 wars, from Spain after the Spanish American conflict and, well, Native Americans would also like a word with the former Speaker…

What a clown.

Contrary to reports, OpenAI probably isn’t building humanity-threatening AI

Has OpenAI invented an AI technology with the potential to “threaten humanity”? From some of the recent headlines, you might be inclined to think so. Reuters and The Information first reported last week that several OpenAI staff members had, in a letter to the AI startup’s board of directors, flagged the “prowess” and “potential danger” […]
