  1. Video Proves Lindsey Graham A Shameless Hypocrital Snake In The Grass

    Graham’s rant in the Senate about impeachment is coming back to haunt him and the spineless right-wing, and what he said PROVES that Trump should be impeached

    Attorney General William Barr released a brief summary of the Mueller report concluding that there was not enough “evidence” of collusion. Trump and his allies claim the report exonerates the President, but Barr explicitly noted that the Mueller report DID NOT EXONERATE Trump on charges of obstruction of justice

    A 1999 clip of Graham demanding the impeachment of Bill Clinton for far less serious charges shows him yelling at Congress “While this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him”

    “You do not have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic. If this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role. Because impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office”

    So go ahead Graham, make an ass out of the right-wing by being a hypocritical gasbag incapable of honoring YOUR oath to the Constitution, we expect nothing less from the right-wing

  2. Fox Sets Record Straight: Russia Investigation Did NOT Start With Trump Dossier

    “The Trump investigation did not start with the FISA warrant and Carter Page and the dossier”

    Fox News anchor Chris Wallace burst Fox viewers bubble Friday by informing them that the Russia investigation did not begin with the infamous Steele dossier

    Radio host Rush Limbaugh ranted to Fox News Thursday about the need for “accountability” because “They began an investigation based on a phony dossier created and written by associates of Hillary Clinton”

    During Friday morning’s broadcast on Fox Wallace corrected anchor Bill Hemmer who talked about the remarks by Rush Limbaugh

    “The Trump investigation did not start with the FISA warrant and Carter Page and the dossier”

    The dossier was compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele during the 2016 presidential election for research firm Fusion GPS, alleging there was a conspiracy between Donald Trump and the Russian government

    “It started in June of 2016 when George Papadopoulos had spoken to a Russian agent and spoke to an Australian diplomat and said he had heard they had information on “dirt” on Hillary Clinton” Wallace explained, adding that while potential FISA abuses are a “legitimate basis of inquiry” it is “not where the investigation started”

    “I don’t think there is any doubt they started investigating in the summer of 2016. We know that’s when the investigation started. There has been documentation of that”

    • Okay, RR has now confirmed that everything Chris Wallace says is true. This is going to be fun.

      • Burnie, this shows your issue and what JoeBlow suffer from. Pointing out how Fox has numerous anchors who are now truthfully pointing out Trump is a liar shows how much of an idiot Cheetolini is. You and the other CONservatives cannot handle that Trumpy is a few french fries short of a happy meal

        Confirmation Bias

        Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one’s preexisting beliefs or hypotheses. It is a type of cognitive bias and a systematic error of inductive reasoning. People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way.

        People tend to interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing position. Biased search, interpretation, and memory have been invoked to explain attitude polarization, belief perseverance

        Psychological experiments suggested people are biased toward confirming their existing beliefs. Later work re-interpreted these results as a tendency to test ideas in a one-sided way, focusing on one possibility and ignoring alternatives. In certain situations, this tendency can bias people’s conclusions. Explanations for the observed biases include wishful thinking and the limited human capacity to process information. Another explanation is that people show confirmation bias because they are weighing up the costs of being wrong, rather than investigating in a neutral, scientific way

        Confirmation biases contribute to overconfidence in personal beliefs and can maintain or strengthen beliefs in the face of contrary evidence. Poor decisions due to these biases have been found in political and organizational contexts
