TX Gov. Greg Abbott has called for all citizens to offer suggestions on how to stop this gosh darned plague of shootings!  Of course, you can offer suggestions that would actually work, but these would be universally ignored, because Greg Abbott is disappointed that a few other states sell more guns than Texas! 

If @Howl and I wrote a letter to Abbott suggesting that the answer to school shootings is "prayer warriors" dedicating an hour a day to praying for our schools, Abbot would be on television the next day announcing how to sign up for the Jesus Values Patriot Freedom Liberty Traditional Bible Family prayer & gun rights club in your area. 

It's a very good thing that both of us have better things to do than troll our governor

DOJ shouldn't be investigating itself but Sessions should investigate himself. Got it.

So clever of them to frame Trump and then bury it and lose the election

I'm surprised all of the people on Faux haven't been issued tinfoil hats. They are so delusional.

[Howl]

Thanks, Fox News!  Somehow this all seems to go together!

*scratches head, checks schedule and honey-do list for the day, and thinks about how awesome it would be to troll Abbot AND Dan Patrick in one swoop*

Yay!  It's primetime and the Fox News channel is on! 

Tucker Carlson promises a segment about the "sudden and stunning cancellation" of Roseanne's show.  The "segment" was less than one minute (literally  - I timed it).  The rest of the program was spent on Trump's rally in Tennessee, and the Roseanne segment was stuffed in while everyone was waiting for Trump to take the stage.

Well, maybe there'll be better discussion when Hannity shows up.  Maybe, except he doesn't actually show up until 9:12.  So for the first twelve minutes, it's a continuation of the rally, ending with the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want."  If I were the Rolling Stones, I'd be royally pissed off that my song was used at such an odious venue.  Besides, Trump always does get what he wants, so that choice of song was totally inappropriate.  In his opening monologue, he did say Roseanne "made some really incendiary, pretty appalling comments" about Valerie Jarrett.  He promises more on this later in the show, but, like many men out there, fails to deliver on his promise.

Once he does start talking, it's all about North Korea, the evil mainstream media, and Mueller.  Gregg Jarrett (has a new book out!) and Sara Carter stop by but don't say anything original, though to be fair, I don't think anyone who appears on a Fox News program, whether host or guest, has said anything original for a very long time.  They're rambling on about spying, but who knows how long this has been an "important" topic.  Carter Page said nothing interesting, but did get a little sun over the holiday weekend.  Sebastian Gorka and Dan Bongino don't show up until 9:53, so clearly Hannity isn't good with time management, because they usually get better priority int he lineup.  No excerpts from the Hannity Hotline, so maybe he'd rather use that time to talk about the Deep State and lying James Comey.

Oh dear, Laura Ingraham once got busted for shoplifting...

Quote

The next time Laura Ingraham decides to taunt a teenager like David Hogg, the Parkland shooting survivor now helping to lead a nationwide gun control campaign, perhaps the Fox News host will recall what she was doing when she was Hogg’s age.

Which was getting arrested and convicted for being a thief.

Ingraham recently mocked the 18-year-old Hogg for getting rejected from a quartet of colleges, a put-down for which the TV scold eventually apologized--but only after Hogg launched an advertiser boycott of “The Ingraham Angle.”

Hogg, who graduated today with his Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School classmates, is a 4.1 GPA student whose activism has made him the target of right wingers who have displayed a creepy obsession with the teenager. In fact, Hogg--along with fellow Parkland students like Cameron Kasky and Emma Gonzalez--have been the subject of oppo research usually reserved for political candidates decades older.

In other words, Laura, take the fornicating redwood out of your eye before complaining about teenagers, especially ones like Mr. Hogg.

It sure looks like Patti Blagojevich has started a trend on Faux. Wonder how much you have to donate to get Trump to consider you for a pardon?

Another day, another tortuous night watching Fox News

Tucker Carlson explains Melania's recent hospitalization as "the kind of thing that happens to 48 year olds, even famous ones" (disclaimer: I'm 48, and my kidneys are just fine!) and CNN, Steven Colbert, and Rolling Stone magazine are obsessed with Melania's illness because they hate her so very much (really??).  Much rambling followed, which I fast forwarded through.

Then he starts rambling on about Michael Avenatti, Stormy Daniels' lawyer, calling him a "creepy porn lawyer."

Finally, at 8:26, he starts talking about my beloved Eagles.  There's a clip from today's spectacle, with Trump singing the national anthem (spoiler: as with God Bless America, he doesn't know all the words, and the clip was only for two lines of the anthem).  Some nobody, who coincidentally has a new book out, flapped his arms about as he constructed an impressive word salad which didn't even mention the Eagles. Carlson was confused, and understandably so.

Some rambling about China, and complaining about Maxine Waters.

Are you sitting down?  Tucker Carlson scored an interview with Pamela Anderson.  Holy Baywatch!  Who knew she was super close friends with Julian Assange?   There is cleavage evident, and I hope Fox News gets lots of letters about how family unfriendly this is.  Did you also know that she's spoken at the Kremlin several times, and now lives in France?  But those things aren't important, because Julian hasn't seen sunlight for six years, because he's holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, but now they've cut off his Internet access, phone calls, and visitors.  She is also campaigning against Uber and Lyft, because she thinks they exploit drivers and endanger passengers.

Way more time was spent with Pam, who hasn't been relevant for about twenty years, than my beloved Eagles and events that happened just today.

Maybe Hannity will be better, but I doubt it.

Hannity did mention the NFL for about a minute of his opening monologue.  He's going to boycott all NFL games, and will be sticking to college football only.  He did not show a clip of Trump flubbing the words to either God Bless America or the Star Spangled Banner.

Much time was spent on the DOJ report (which one?  does it matter?).  Sean Spicer*, Jason Chaffetz, Gregg Jarrett*, Sara Carter, and Newt Gingrich* stop by (the starred guests are the ones who have new books out).

"This country is BLESSED because she is our first lady at this time," or so says Kellyanne Conway.  And how awesome was Trump today, providing patriotic entertainment for the 1,000 Eagles fans who had come to the White House.  She called it a "fabulous event," and claimed a lot of Eagles players voted for Trump but won't come forward with that information (okay, Kellyanne).

Another night of tired repetitions and hopped up emotions.

I was sitting down!  I love that crazy stuff like this pops up out of nowhere.  Pam's causes and choice of friends, though? Not so much.

Here's the video:  http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/06/05/pamela-anderson-talks-friendship-julian-assange-vladimir-putin-tucker-carlson-tonight

Why is her focus all over the place?  She's kind of restless (on national TV, no less), but that's not really it.  She doesn't look annoyed to be on TV, but something's not quite right.  Almost like she's at the Olive Garden and she's waiting for her beeper to start flashing, so she did the interview while she was waiting.

And God bless that super strong bottom button.

I'm thinking that was Tucker's way of insinuating that Trump should trade Melania in for a younger model.

Dear Faux,

I saw Pamela Anderson's dirty pillows, and I'm gonna get me a strip mall lawyer and sue you people for not showing her sex tape after getting me all hot bothered like that!

I'll laugh myself silly if someone catches him secretly watching NFL football games.

Kellyanne, honey, you and Tucker need to get on the same page. Is Melania going to be blessing us for years to come, or will a new Mrs. Orange Nightmare be revealed to us?

Former Fox News analyst says Fox has become 'destructive propaganda machine'

Ralph, it's not like we didn't already know this!

Ralph Peters let 'er rip in his interview with Anderson Cooper. Excerpt: 

Quote

He also strongly defended the importance of Robert Mueller's probe of Russian interference -- a position that puts him at odds with former colleagues like Sean Hannity.

"Without exaggeration, the Mueller investigation is the most important of my lifetime, and I am 66 years old. I lived through Watergate," Peters said Wednesday night.

In the interview, Peters doubled down on what he said in his Fox resignation letter back in March.

"For years, I was glad to be associated with Fox. It was a legitimate conservative and libertarian outlet, and a necessary one," he said Wednesday. "But with the rise of Donald Trump, Fox did become a destructive propaganda machine, and I don't do propaganda for anyone."

Peters said the Fox hosts who constantly attack Mueller are "doing it for ratings and profit" and "doing a great grave disservice to our country."

I know, right?  Still laughing because I couldn't figure out what this referred to until I watched the video.  I'm sure hard core male Tucker fans were praying for a miracle.
