making up all kind of crap - lies. They are doing this to help Trump. They are colluding with the colluder in chief.
I know we have Freedom of the Press - but when a organization like Fox actually makes up crap in order to help out the guy that is a Russian colluder and obstructor of justice - can they be hit for obstruction?

(3,786 posts)Some craven RWer on Facebook just said something about, "You should worry about your own party, since they're now embroiled in the worst scandal since Watergate." I still have no idea what he meant. The thing about the dossier? That's literally nothing.
I agree that they're panicking. Maybe that rumor that Mueller's investigation results will be released around Thanksgiving has some truth to it.

(26,060 posts)about the uranium crap. It's nothing and merely a pathetically desperate attempt to change the subject. And even THAT will turn against Donnie as he personally told the DOJ to lift the gag order and that's against the law. Schiff has already said he's going to investigate donnies order. He can't stop stepping on his own dick. This is what panic looks like.

(11,258 posts)All of the personalities at Fox are so accustomed to dealing with people who are willing to be led by an authoritarian that they can't comprehend the idea of someone who can't be bullied. They're in for quite a surprise.

(6,412 posts)Ratings are down = less money from sponsors
They cast their lot with Dump = To keep RW watchers with them instead of giving Newsmax or Brietbart a chance to take some market share.
When Mueller brings Thor's Hammer down = they are screwed.
a. Viewers will leave in disgust = less money from sponsors
b. They stick with Dump, they lose credibility with "Independents" and "Moderate Republicans" = less money from sponsors.
c. They dump Dump, they lose the "teh stoopid" RW watchers...who then gravitate to online "TV" = less money from sponsors.
In summary, they didn't have a back up plan and probably dismissed the Dump-Russia connection as a left wing conspiracy...in other words, they fell for their own scam. Probably rationalized that Dump was too stupid to collaborate with Russia...they were right. But people he surrounded himself with were not stupid and probably thought they could get away with it. If it wasn't for pesky Jeb Bush starting this investigation and then picked up later by Democrats. The sex scandals also probably kept them from thinking twice.
Side note, what I find interesting is, those who are NOT talking since Dump took office;
Jeb Bush; He started the research...and probably knows the shit storm that is coming, and wants no part of it.
Rudy Giuliani; He was a big promoter of Dump...but has all but vanished. He's quietly laying low and just doing speaking engagements for $$$. But I bet he got the low down from his attorney buds in NY...and putting some distance between himself and Dump, plus hoping no one remembers.

(100,145 posts)The more you put together the pieces of this puzzle - it seems like everyone in the GOP is a suspect. And we'll probably find that the whole party was in on the coup. Which will make it even worse.

(36,317 posts)which is that Mueller is getting too close to the truth, and His Royal Heinous is about to find himself in deep shit.
It's like that little game kids play -- "you're getting warmer ... warmer ..." Repugs virtually guide you to the truth by the intensity of their denials.

Their favorite punching bags are mostly out of the limelight, yet they're still trying to force them back IN.
Ain't working. You broke this, you BOUGHT it. Schtroumpf is FOX's mess to clean.
