Groveling to Domination ‘Sean Hannity admits he has not brain nor a spine’
[GatewayPundit] Sean Hannity Testifies He Did Not Believe For One Second That the 2020 Election Was Stolen

Hannity reportedly testified in a deposition on Wednesday concerning Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News.

"I did not believe it for one second," Hannity said of claims that the election was rigged or stolen.
Maybe a rectal dilation would restore blood flow to what is left of his brain
Stephen Shackelford, Jr., an attorney for Dominion claimed Tucker Carlson has said that he didn’t believe the election was stolen.

"Mr. Shackelford described how Mr. Carlson had ’tried to squirm out of it at his deposition’ when asked about what he really believed," the Times report says. "Mr. Shackelford started to elaborate about what Mr. Carlson had said privately, telling the judge about the existence of text messages the host had sent in November and December of 2020. But the judge, Eric M. Davis, cut him off, leaving the specific contents of those texts unknown."

The case will be going to trial in April.

To win, Dominion must prove that Fox hosts were saying one thing privately and another thing publicly.
... supporting those complicit in the Uniparty fraud elections that ended America First is like buying medicine from China. It's designed to make you feel better today, in order to kill America tomorrow.
In fairness to idiots in one of his last shows Rush said basically the same

#1  Not 'stolen', how about 'saved from Trump', as explained in great detail in the Time magazine article?

#7  ^ Which is bullshit. Rush had brains, was personable, informed and entertained.

Hannity reminds me why I dislike most Irish extraction people.

#8  Just another commentator feeding me BS I wanted to hear. I feel disgusted with myself.

#9  People love hearing validation of their opinions. The truth, not so much.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 12/23/2022 9:01 Comments || Top||

#10  The process that we are going through is revelatory of character. We have discovered that Hannity has none. That is sort of like the revelation from the packaging that circus peanuts are not health food. Not much of a discovery. Discovering that Tom Cotton is on the other side but Rubio would support the omnibus is a significant data point.

#11  back in the Hannity & Colmes day I realized that Hannity never convinced me of anything. Either I agreed with him or not but if not his argumentative debate style just could not convince me. Colmes I rarely ever agreed with but his style was far more convincing.

#14  He showed himself, among others who all somehow had the same reasoning, during The Bundy Ranch episode where he flailed his arms about to get attention, then ditched the story at first chance to create maximum derision.

Remember when Cliven dropped the olde school term for the blacks who did nothing but sit on the porch and drink all day? Suddenly everyone who had an ear for the man and the situation were the absolute worst of humanity and stone dropped any coverage - even though Al Sharpton of all people was like, he ain't wrong here.

#1  I doubt anyone drinking J&B give a shit about diversity 1 bit.
Posted by: Chris || 12/23/2022 1:01 Comments || Top||

#2  J&B is just looking for a new market segment, Chris. Their sales elsewhere have faltered a bit as they're not the best brand on the shelf by any means.

#3  40% of kids in college "identify" as "gender fluid." Meanwhile, only a fraction of 1% are actually ghey.

#4  typically J&B is among the lowest cost Scotch

I knew someone who bought a lot of it and put it in JWalker Black bottles. A pretty stupid thing to do since the way he acted people knew he was up to something.

#5  Cutty Sark used to be my go to beverage until friends and relations told me I had to get single malt. But if you're looking for a less expensive blended Scots whiskey, Cutty Sark is pretty good.

#6  My advice with regard to booze and gender fluidity is when you arrive at a bar sober make sure that there is not a lot of gender fluidity going on at that particular establishment. If there is, and you plan to get blackout drunk there, your morning after might provide some uncomfortable surprises. My advice does not apply if you are gender fluid yourself. It is also dated advice as my bar hopping days ended while Prince’s song 1999 was about the future and Prince was purporting to be heterosexual while wearing a blouse.

Cleo Paskal: Inside CCP Entropic Warfare, From Shipping Fentanyl to Bribing Elites to Fueling Civil Wars
[EPOCH] "The overt, stated goal of China is to be number one in the world in terms of comprehensive national power ... In a relative sense, if you’ve knocked [other countries] down, you’re doing better than they are. So this explains, for example, why from a comprehensive national power perspective, it is beneficial to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to pump fentanyl into middle America," says Cleo Paskal, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

Fentanyl "destroys communities. It destroys families. It’s real entropic warfare, creating this fragmentation, disintegration, [and] chaos within a target country," says Paskal.

Paskal, a leading expert on China and the Indo-Pacific region, breaks down the CCP’s strategy in the region, from promoting division and civil war to buying off the elite of small island nations.

"They learn from Japanese movements and American counter movements in the Pacific [during World War II]—which islands and locations are strategic, where you have to hold, where the deep water ports are," Paskal says.

"Xi [Jinping] in particular has staked his reputation on delivering Taiwan. But it doesn’t stop with Taiwan." The CCP’s goal is to "push the Americans out of the Indo-Pacific ... and push American functional operational capabilities back to Hawaii," she says.

U.S. Agrees To Send Ukraine One Unused Border Wall
[Babylon Bee] U.S. — As a part of the $50 billion aid package being sent to Ukraine, Congress has also offered to throw in one $5 billion wall that's just lying around at the southern border not being used.

"We have this wall that we're not using, I dunno, do you guys in Ukraine want it?" asked Senator Mitch McConnell during Zelensky's D.C. trip. "It's a pretty good wall. A little rusty, maybe, but it should help you secure your borders, which are the most important borders on earth. We don't believe in borders around here in Washington." McConnell finished speaking and then crawled under a nearby UV heat lamp to recharge his energy.

Senate leaders confirmed that the entire 700-mile stretch of unused wall is being written into the omnibus bill. an additional $120 billion has been allocated for the removal, transportation, and installation of the wall at its new home in Ukraine. "This is the right thing to do," said Senator Mitt Romney in a statement. "Every true, patriotic American should support this for some reason. I just can't think of what the reason is right now. Don't worry, I'll think of it!"

Several Republicans in Congress disagree with the move, insisting that Ukraine should pay for the transportation and install themselves.

At publishing time, members of Congress also offered to throw in an old Constitution they forgot they had.
