Fox could put her on as one of their tight sweatered babes, and the male viewers would go nuts - anything she said would be immediately believed, adopted, acted upon.

Durham Report, Steele Dossier (10th-grade level drivel), Plot Against the President (movie), fake impeachment, etc.
So, the stupid motion to expel Schiff is a criminal trial?
Plot against the president? LOL. Was that what the Republicans did by investigating Clinton ultimately for infidelity? Perjury? Did you hear Trump's deposition under oath?
This is all political theater. You must know this.
If Republicans are trying to boot Schiff then they've really transformed from a party organized around certain governance ideals to a consortium of donors and media plotting to fool the masses in order to win power. No ideals. Just power, thru lies.

It's a UniParty driven by $$$ and power. Trump was the uninvited Outsider.
Trump is the Republicans' Republican in terms of his policies.
When he was elected I was hopeful he might be an independent and battle both sides, but he pretty quickly proved to be nothing but a shill for Republican interests.
What makes you think he is any kind of independent? Because he told you so?
He was independent on some issues, and brought in common sense. So many examples.
Everyone said they would move our Israeli embassy to Jerusalem, President Trump did it. He brought troops home (when not undermined). He held peace talks with North Korea. USMCA was a masterful stroke and a great move for Mexico. His policies helped spur new / upgraded steel and aluminum plants, and spurred microchip production in Arizona. His tariffs significantly impacted China (yes, they reduced USA ag buys, so Trump helped American farmers).
No new wars, that's huge. The neocons and Wall Street liberals (a few here) love new wars. Not DJT. He also sent military equipment to Ukraine (BHO sent pillows) and South Korea.
He championed and signed the First Step crime sentencing act, something BHO failed to do. This act was particuly desired by Black leaders. He funded Historically Black Colleges and Universities for 10 years, doing away with the yearly Democrat
come-kiss-the-ring games. And he created Enterprise Zones to help spur jobs in low-income areas. All of these items specifically helped Black and poor communities. Not durprising giving his close relationships with P Diddy, Mike Tyson, Kanye West, and many other leaders. (He won several awards previously from the NAACP.)
He shut down BackPage, the number one female prostitution site, and signed legislation to assist women and children in these communities. He used his leverage and gravitas to bring home prisoners from China, North Korea, and elsewhere without random payments or backdoor payoffs.
He cut tens of thousands of job-killing regulations, regs the UniParty makes $$$ inserting into bills. Very independent.
Another independent act was championing and signing the Right to Try experimental drug act. The UniParty never did this bc there was no lobbyist $$$
behind it.
He also signed an Executive Order to dramatically cut prescription drug prices, which Swamp dwellers (mainly Democrats) blocked. They'll only save Black and Latino grandmothers and grandfatgers if they first get votes for it.
Then he sent military ships, floating hospitals, to help largely Democratic populations during Covid. Democrat governors blocked their use, subjecting more to infection and potential death.
Boy, we miss those days.

ESPN Spikes Michael Chang doc because of Disney.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/espn-just-spiked-a-documentary-that-would-make-china-look-bad
The documentary in question is an ESPN Films 30 for 30 about Michael Chang, who became the youngest man to win a Grand Slam title after winning the French Open at 17 years old. Called American Son, the documentary would cover the experience of Chang's family as immigrants as well as Chang's tournament run. The day after the Tiananmen Square massacre, Chang completed a comeback victory over three-time French Open champion Ivan Lendl en route to his historic championship title.
"The crackdown that happened was on the middle Sunday at the French Open, so if I was not practicing or playing a match, I was glued to the television, watching the events unfold," Chang later said in a 2009 interview. He also said that "what it was really about was an opportunity to bring a smile upon Chinese people's faces around the world when there wasn't a whole lot to smile about. I honestly feel that that was God's purpose for allowing me to be able to get through those matches."
The documentary was supposed to be shown at the Tribeca Festival, but director Jay Caspian Kang announced that ESPN had pulled it, apparently to be run next summer instead. It is a shame because Chang's story is one worth telling and because 30 for 30 is one of the only worthwhile things ESPN produces anymore, but there is a worrying connection here.
ESPN is owned by Disney, which has been cozying back up to China in recent months. Variety asked if Bob Iger, the former Disney CEO who recently took up the role again, was the "hidden hand behind Disney and China's relationship warming?" Two days after Iger returned to Disney, Avatar: The Way of Water landed a release in China. Disney then announced that two recent Marvel releases also landed a Chinese release after Marvel's three-year absence from the Chinese box office.
ESPN hasn't offered a reason for pulling American Son, and the only indication that people will be able to see the documentary next year comes from Kang's tweet. ESPN needs to answer for the delay and guarantee that it will be released sooner rather than later. Otherwise, it looks like yet another shameless act of cowardice taken by Disney to please the Chinese Communist Party.

Republican Party needs to back off Disney. This is a fight they cannot win.
Disney, unlike the current Republican Party, is still loved. I love Disney. The current Republican Party is hated even by a fiscal conservative like me. It's not Bud Light that people can easily replace. It's not like the Democratic Party that people also hate. It's DISNEY. Star Wars, Marvel, and ESPN or MGT, DeSantis and Trump…,,.hmmm such a tough choice.

That's a false dichotomy. The issue here with Disney et al is that, if you like it, you would want to preserve it, not see it tarnished and used as a tool to promote 2020s woke ideology.
