Howard Stern: "Calm down your f---ing loony hillbilly friends and tell them you lost."



He’s also not too bullish on a new Trump-run network:

Talk radio host Howard Stern mocked the idea of President Trump starting a competitor network to Fox News upon leaving office, saying such a venture would collapse within a year.

"[If] he thinks running the country is hard, wait till he has to run a news network," Stern said on his Monday show, according to the New York Daily News. "That’ll fail inside of a year like all the other businesses. This is just insanity what’s going on."

...Stern, who was a friend of Trump's and frequently had him on as a guest before Trump entered politics, called on the president to concede the election gracefully.

“For once, do something good for the country. Calm down your f---ing loony hillbilly friends and tell them you lost the election and you’re going to help the transition,” Stern said Monday. “These loonies who follow you are all worked up. They think something was taken from them.”

To take the pressure off him and what he has done. Like all of the corruption, fraud, and abuse of power he has done as pResident and all money he has to pay back.

That becomes a somewhat side issue when a bunch of radicalized nuts are going ape shit loony blowing things up and squeezing off live rounds at everything and anything that might resemble anyone he has labeled as against Murika.

I remember nearly every one of his appearances.

Dotard fancies himself as the Howard Stern of business.

And no matter how hard Stern hits him, he has never said a bad word about Stern.

Howard knows that he helped elect this wreck of a dumpster fire and feels guilty about it.

I guess it makes the idea of other things being taken from them a lot easier to believe.

on the Rajneeshpuran cult that thrived in a small town in Oregon in the 1980s. They showed footage of the cult leader, Bagwan Shree Rajneesh, being driven through the compound in his Rolls Royce, and the followers would be surrounding the car in exaltation. Saturday's MAGA-palooza literally looked exactly like that, when he came through there in his motorcade.

A good photo depicting this at this link...

‘Homosexuality seems to be a way for men in our society to avoid the responsibilities of being an adult male. It’s not genetic. It’s all psychosomatic… It’s a fear of making a living and supporting a family’
