Fox and others corroborated it...

There may be documents to prove it too!

I honestly think Hannity would let Trump do his wife if he thought he could use that to somehow prove some spurious point about how liberals want to destroy America.
He's so convinced by his own rhetoric it's pretty amazing to watch and I have no idea why anyone would want to appear as a guest on his show as he's about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the knee. He asks people to be guests just so he can lecture and mock them and then shut down their mic if they have the temerity to defend themselves.

He's just utterly terrible as a host.

Tucker Carlson is starting to turn full Hannity at the moment.

Tucker Carlson can go and strawberry float himself as well the smug banana split.
He loves interviewing someone and laughing at them if they dare say anything he disagrees with and he's just got a highly punchable face. It's like they're both really, really vying for the title of banana split of the century and I got to admit at the moment it's an dead heat.

I bet even their own mothers hate them.

Can we please have a poll to see who people think is more of a banana split out of Carlson and Hannity?

I think I hate Hannity more but I'd happily watch both of them burn to death.

Does Easy D think we'll be happy for him to receive a state visit if he apologizes for the Britain First tweet?

It's quite funny really when you see people who shout about American freedom never being infringed then shout about shutting down tv stations they don't like and calling liberals mentally ill and saying they should be kicked out.

You just don’t get it do you Pete?

What they want for THEM to have freedom of speech. They don’t give a gooseberry fool about anybody else’s.

It's like in one of the Bible states they campaigned hard to have religions taught in the curriculum (so that creationism could get in) but then were up in arms that ALL religions got equal time. Pretty sure that actually happened, but could have been Preezy's own fake news :shifty:

Those same people seem to be terrified of atheists for some unknown reason and seem to have this idea that because I'm an atheist I have no morals and just go about raping a pillaging.
I haven't done any raping and I rarely do any pillaging since I hit 40 as I can no longer run away as fast :shifty: .

It could be an excellent way of trolling the bible belt. Agree that education in schools should be on a religious basis and then make all schools Buddhist. ;)

D&D has gods and religion in it, I'd force that on them.
All hail mighty Torm.

Today has been weird, as close as we have ever got to an apology from Trump and now this Bombardier ruling that seems to have come from nowhere. Has May be able to exert some kind of influence?

A senior adviser to Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign who was accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a young subordinate was kept on the campaign at Mrs. Clinton’s request, according to four people familiar with what took place.

Mrs. Clinton’s campaign manager at the time recommended that she fire the adviser, Burns Strider. But Mrs. Clinton did not. Instead, Mr. Strider was docked several weeks of pay and ordered to undergo counseling, and the young woman was moved to a new job.

Mr. Strider, who was Mrs. Clinton’s faith adviser, a co-founder of the American Values Network, and sent the candidate scripture readings every morning for months during the campaign, was hired five years later to lead an independent group that supported Mrs. Clinton’s 2016 candidacy, Correct the Record, which was created by a close Clinton ally, David Brock.

He was fired after several months for workplace issues, including allegations that he harassed a young female aide, according to three people close to Correct the Record’s management.

Mr. Strider did not respond to an email seeking comment.

A spokesman for Mrs. Clinton provided a statement from Utrecht, Kleinfeld, Fiori, Partners, the law firm that had represented the campaign in 2008 and has been involved on sexual harassment issues.

What is it with this woman and turning a blind eye to sexual indiscretions...

Starting to look a bit like a pattern of behavior, isn't it? Still would've been miles better than Donald "Pussy Grabber" Trump though. :slol:

Great news on the Bombardier ruling! Trump surely won't be happy about it...

The US International Trade Commission voted 4-0 in favour of Bombardier and the Trump Administration's 292% tariffs won't be imposed.

I see the US economy's growth unexpectedly slowed below Trump's 3% target over the last quarter too.

Nikki Haley says the insinuation from Michael Wolff that's she sleeping with Trump is "disgusting". :lol:

One of the few high-ranking women in Donald Trump’s administration has denied rumors of a sexual affair with the president.

Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the United Nations and former governor of South Carolina, called the speculation “highly offensive” and “disgusting”.

The rumor spread online and in Washington after the publication of a book, Fire and Fury, by the journalist Michael Wolff, who said on TV last week he was “absolutely sure” Trump was having an affair.


He's fired people for less.

So if he doesn't fire her, we'll know they're doing it, right?
