Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

Fox News doing what Fox News does best: running defense for right wing extremism.
 
In this case Fox News cut away from the impeachment trial right as the prosecutors were going to show never seen before security footage of the insurrectionist. Specifically the new footage showing Senators and Mike Pence plus his family being escorted away, and in a few cases literally down the hall from where police was holding back the mob. Including the clip of Officer Goodman stopping Romney from walking right into said mob.
 
Somehow Fox News thought that the opinion of Greg Gutfeld and his latest ‘How do you do fellow kids?’ act was more important than the single biggest news story of this nascent year…behind the actual insurrection itself. Funny how that works.

@vit  
Hell, I’d watch it.

@Dustcan  
TBF Ben only the rights to publish the movie, someone else already wrote the script before Ben bought it.
 
It’s still a garbage movie and Ben is a garbage writer though, if his books are anything to go by.

Haha: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=disney+stock
 
Hope you lose some money Disney. Hope you lose many subscribers.

@Dustcan  
So Fox News is getting beat by Fox News.

@silbasa  
good.  
when it gets low enough to be affordable then I might start buying.

@silbasa  
Meh, compared to their 40% drop over a month last year (or the 120% increase over the past year since then), this barely registers as a blip on the radar.

@Background Pony #1F81
 
Point.
 
Still, going from a recurring side character in Star Wars to a lead in a Ben Shapiro movie? I’m pretty sure this is what Roblox invented the word “oof” for.
 
Yep that’s what I believe it came from and made for.

@Ereiam  
Not to mention, this is for today. When the news broke yesterday Their shares went up. If it’s going down now, it’s for something else, like the price increase for Disney+. To say it’s a response to firing Gina Carono is dumb as fuck

@Kiryu-Chan  
Also Disney as shut down Blue Sky studios too and laid off about 400 or so members of that studio.  
Im sure that along with the Disney + price change is affecting their stock more then firing Gina.
 
 
@Dustcan  
Going from Star Wars to Ben Shapiro is one of the quickest downfalls i’ve seen of an actor.

@Background Pony #1F81  
They also had their Quarterly Earnings call after the markets closed too

@silbasa  
I don’t think they’re supposed to recognise them all, any more than if there were the flags of a dozen different countries.

@Background Pony #1F81  
Or you know, it could actually be a combination of all three?

@Penguin Dragneel  
No because their stocks literally went up from the announcement. It went up for the whole damn day

Romney’s questions for the trial  
I think they are actually good questions

@Kolbjorn
 
Speaking of, supposedly we’ll be getting the final vote Saturday.

so how did that 2nd impeachment go?

@Angrybrony  
More damning evidence got shown, including unseen security footage revealing just how close congressmen got to dying, including Officer Goodman holding the mob right across from Mitt Romney
 
Of course Republicans are still probably gonna vote to acquit anyway because they love getting fucked in the ass by donald Trump even though he literally almost got them all killed, because this is the hill they want to die on
 
Though given Ted Cruz has been spearheading Trump’s defense despite constant insults towards both him and his wife from Trump himself it’s all par for the course

@Angrybrony
 
Prosecutors: And for evidence, I present footage after footage of the event itself and the former president’s own words.
 
Defendents: And for a rebuttal I say: Nuh uh! And I also present: But what about Anteefer!
 
Throw in a few instances of GOP senators being caught literally doodling and sleeping during the trial, and Cruz, Graham and a third guy meeting with Trump’s defense attorney’s to “Talk strategy”.
 
@Kiryu-Chan  

 
Literally! Remember there were reports that Miss Lindsay himself was crying and screaming at police for allowing the mob into the building in the first place. Barely a couple weeks later he was already back to publicly broadcasting “Trump sempai kawaii <3 <3 <3”.

@Dustcan  
Anteefeer was in the crowd trynna to get in the white house :P

@Dustcan  
Also, Rubio threatened to impeach Hillary. Because Ahab is nothing without his white whale.

@igotnopicks  
and apparently a few russian spys.

I’m calling it right here: Gina’s movie is going to suck and it’ll be the final nail in the coffin for her career. And she has no one to blame but herself. And no it had nothing to do with cancel culture. If it did, Rosario wouldn’t be getting her own spin off.
 
She did this all herself. She had the gig of a lifetime and she completely blew it.

New study finds that about 40% of US Covid deaths could have been prevented if America was up to the standard of the rest of the developed world.
 
It doesn’t just blame Trump’s passive and active attempt to sabotage Covid relief efforts, pointing out that America’s health system is hilariously assbackwards when it comes to disease response. But this does line up with a report several months back that if lockdowns had been implemented a mere week earlier then nearly half of infections could’ve been prevented.
 
We’re up to 480,000 now.

@Violet Rose in The Rain  
Rosario? What did Rosario Dawson do that would seem as problematic?
