    By the reaction, seems I'm the one who struck a nerve.

      Too bad that nerve was in your own foot.

        Apparently some on the left are just now realizing what she's like. A recent article in New Republic simply describes her and her behavior as being "bonkers." Ya think?

        The article observes that "The Howard Bealeization, or Glenn Beckifaction, of Rachel Maddow is a reminder that partisan paranoia has bipartisan appeal."

        Oh, and it recently came to my attention that Politifact, which has the reputation of bending over backwards to defend blatant deception by liberals while spinning what conservatives say (to the point of judging what they claim they really meant rather than what they actually said), a less than sterling report card. A full 60% of her statements ranks as being at best half truths. I didn't think that they ever judged a prominent liberal this harshly.
        Typical, you don't like the message so you attack the messenger. The reality is that:

        "Rachel Maddow is the 117th most popular contemporary TV personality and the 120th most famous. Rachel Maddow is described by fans as: Intelligent, Knowledgeable, Intellectual, Smart and Honest".

        https://today.yougov.com/topics/ente.../Rachel_Maddow

        A fair and accurate summary I think. But then, those in the Trump/Barr mold (looking at you) wouldn't know what a "fair summary" is.

              That she is popular with low information voters who get their TDS fix from her and therefore think that she's smart and honest says far more about them than anything else.


              And you might want to try keeping your line of reasoning in mind the next time you object to MM using Breitbart or other conservative news source.

                  • Some interesting Tweets from the President:

                    trump-tweet-how-did-it-start.jpg

                    "How did it start?" indeed. Taking this back to the very beginning is a shrewd and perhaps necessary play. You see, Susan Rice's infamous "by the book" email that she sent to herself 15-minutes before the end of the Obama administration was more than just a "cover your behind" maneuver. We now know that despite claims by some to the contrary, Trump actually was a subject of the FBI's and later Mueller's investigation. So why the constant lies that he wasn't, told to the media and even Trump himself? Because lying about and to the subject of an investigation is in some cases mandated if an investigation is being conducted "by the book". This means that Rice's email to herself potentially gives cover to all the conspirators who can hide behind "the book" if they are ever forced to an give account for their actions.

                    But what if it can be shown that the conspirators knew the investigation was bogus before it even began? What if it can be shown that they deceived the courts in order to acquire surveillance warrants? What if it can be shown that they conspired with the Hillary campaign to manufacture a phony "dossier" which they then used to justify their counter intelligence operation? Well in that case, "the book" offers them no cover at all.

                        Perhaps you're unaware that, when you claim something is "typical", there actually has to be a demonstrable pattern of behavior. Or is this simply more of your dishonesty showing?
                        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                            Jimmy reminds me of the advice a butler once gave to Anthony Hopkins while the celebrated actor was researching his role for Remains of the Day:

                            "A room must seem emptier when you're in it."

                                Tweb seems to be turning into some weird fascist enclave. JimL and a few others are the brave and resilient resistance forces going behind enemy lines.
