No one is confused about what is going on here. Only CNN is unable to acknowledge what a goddamned disaster it is for this country that this sonofabitch demented orange rapist is not only not in fucking prison, but is owning the shit out of the entire republiQan cult - taking all their money and running the most batshit unqualified sycophants he can apparently find nationwide.
And CNN helped him every fucking step of the way.
Live by the Mango, die by the Mango.
No love for CNN here, but that was the right move this time. One hopes it's the fresh start they needed.
(Also? One despairs that, at long last, this is that fresh start that won't be.)
Anchor made it clear: guests can come on and talk about Trump.
The problem for this guest is that her job is to defend Trump and Trump is indefensible. All they have is to attack everyone else.
She's grinning the whole time. Her squad is the dumb fuck gullible moron squad, smiling because she's too stupid to even realize how stupid she sounds.
The Trump town hall they hosted was the last straw for me.
