if people like hannity and others at fox news had this much access to trump, i wonder how many foreign leaders had the same access.

you know, when I was watching that clip, the thought occurred to me....why do MEDIA TALKING HEADS HAVE THE CELL NUMBER OF THE HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER? WTF. Shouldn't they have to go through a publicist or press sec or some freaking intern for that type of access?

i'd bet that only the loyal talking heads would have it. i am sure hannity has it so he can call trump and tell him how he is going to frame the narrative on his show and that way he and trump will be on the same page. it's disgusting.

keep in mind hannity is not a journalist. he is just a mouthpiece for the gop.

well of course he's not a journalist. but it's still crazy that congresspeople would just be so brazen as to give out their personal cell numbers to fox news hosts (or even if don lemon did, same thing). we live in a crazy fucking world.

I think this is quite common.  I'm sure Joe and Mika have/had access to Hillary,  Pete,  etc.

interesting. I would have thought that to be "unprofessional".

This could be big....or it could be a giant pile of shit

Grisham said she is personally hoping to "travel the country and talk to people who are believers like I once was" and "explain who (Trump) really is," also calling the former President a "master manipulator."

She said that she did not know who specifically spoke with Trump on January 6 to try to get him to stop the violence, except that Melania Trump did not try and plead with her husband.

"All I know about that day is he was in the dining room, gleefully watching on his TV, as he often did. 'Look at all of the people fighting for me,' hitting rewind, watching it again. That's what I know," Grisham said.

I just spoke with a client who's the most disillusioned Trump supporter I think I have ever encountered. An otherwise really sweet old lady but she kept saying that the communists are going to raise interest rates because the economy is so bad (had to explain that rates were so low the last couple years because the economy was shit, rates are rising now because the economy is improving). She was talking about how great everything was before Trump left office (had to remind her about the pandemic and recession he left us with). She was so happy Trump gave her money towards the end of his term and she used that to pay off her car (had to explain to her that check came from the Covid relief package congress passed and Trump reluctantly signed and then just put his name on the checks---also don't most "conservatives" despise gov handouts?--didn't actually say that last one lol). And she is really hoping that God is going to make everything right and put Trump back in office asap.

It was actually really fun to nicely and patiently tell her she was dead wrong on literally everything she was saying. Also, her current rate is 5.875% and she got it back in 2005. So I'm assuming, based on her logic, that she thinks were were under a communist regime back then. 

Anyway....nice old lady regardless. Hopefully she is happy with the over 3% lower rate she somehow was able to obtain during the current communist regime.

Really though....is there a bigger socialist program other than Social Security/Medicare?

To rely almost completely on those programs yet vote against democrats because they are "socialist communist marxist" just blows my mind

Its "socialist communist marxist" because it also goes to the other, and everyone knows the "other" doesn't work or contribute.
