Hopefully the establishment puts as much effort into trying to defeat Trump as they are putting into trying to defeat Bernie.

Anybody using Apple news or Apple news+ regularly? If so, what are your thoughts?

not regularly but the times I do use it, it's usually broken. I'll click a link from the news bar and it'll say it can't find that story or some other error message. or if it does go, it takes me to the sites home page instead of the story I clicked. I kind of hate it.

FUCK ICE

I've been flipping back and forth between conservative radio and NPR the last few weeks, and it makes me wonder why there aren't more firebombings of radio stations in this country. Then i get sad.

[bune]

radio stations don't do abortions so why waste the fire.

[Norah]

as someone who works at a radio station, fuck you

I may have misheard him (but I really don't think I did), but Rush Limbaugh was trying to argue that the coronavirus case of unknown origin in California meant that it was spontaneously created independent of the other coronavirus. Or he was saying that it was what the democrats wanted us to think because fearmongering. (edit: it was the second)

[BurtReynolds]

Zero Hedge has been preaching about the end of the world for years and years, and they get banned from Twitter just before they can have their moment.

[Superblood Wolfmoon]

Rush Limbaugh can't fucking die soon enough.

Well thank fuck Chris Matthews has finally been put out to pasture.

Chris Matthews to Leave MSNBC Amid Controversy, Sanders Remarks

Cable channel’s decision to release 74-year-old anchor from contract was mutual, according to source


MSNBC “Hardball” host Chris Matthews announced on-air Monday that he was stepping down, days after being accused of making unwanted overtures to a guest and comparing Bernie Sanders’s victory in the Nevada caucuses to the World War II Nazi takeover of France.

A person familiar with Mr. Matthews’s decision said the anchor’s retirement had already been “imminent” but that the events of the last several weeks accelerated his exit. The 74-year-old Mr. Matthews and the network reached a mutual decision for him to step down, the person said.

There will be a rotating group of hosts for “Hardball With Chris Matthews” until the network decides what to do with the program’s time slot, the person said.

[BurtReynolds]

forced out or sick of it all?

[96583UP]

what was the 'unwanted overtures' about?

is this the tip of a #metoo iceberg?

Matthews has been around for a while and usually political people are pervs

i bet he has pulled a Marv Albert or two in his day

[96583UP]

forced out or sick of it all?

he'll prob get hired by some other network within the week, assuming there isn't a brewing harassment controversy

[BurtReynolds]

Sounds like he left after the opening without anyone knowing it. lol

[96583UP]
