"Yeah, I beat the shit out of you, but turning me in to the cops is only going to make me angrier, which will only make me beat you even harder. Is that what you want, bitch?"

A lot of us have heard this gaslighting bullshit before.

Fuck you, Brian Kilmeade.

Brian Kilmeade makes the right's main argument against impeachment: "This country is ready to explode. You saw what happened. You see the anger that the 74 million people feel." So "good leadership would bring down the temperature a little, look to turn the page, be inclusive..."

1. That really got up my nose.

[ProfessorGAC]

2. 74 Million?

I saw 20,000 people in DC, and around 2,000 at the Capitol.
I think Kilmeade has a problem with numbers higher than the fingers on his hands.

[okaawhatever]

10. He's talking about # of people who voted for Trump. He's planting the seed

that all Trump voters agree with what’s going on now.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. And, He's Wrong

I know where the 74 million came from.
When they say they worried about us when their messiah won despite 3 million more voting for HRC, I'll consider worrying about what they think & how they feel.

3. I blame Fox News for what happened as well

The insurrection is the result of decades of brainwashing and Fox is part of that.

4. The best way to unify us is to start telling your viewers the truth, you slimepiglet

Start with simple things like, yes, collusion. Work your way up to bigger admissions, like no stolen votes, no election improprieties. Repeat every quarter hour for the next five years.

Unity? The only unity you want is under a Russian flag.

5. If we had "good leadership"...

this shit would have never happened. Instead, we had Donald Trump, who has zero leadership credentials. Don't confuse brainwashing gullible morons with "leadership".

6. Just another Fox Flunkie.

Fuck you, Kilmeade, you're just another couch tumor at the 3rd worst network on this planet.

[RAB910]

8. The right-wing propaganda machine doesn't skip a beat

as it continues to betray/destroy our nation

[Brainfodder]

9. THEY all want NO consequences.....

Will obviously say and do anything to save themselves, it's pathetic.

Want democrats to play nice nice very nice after these 4 years?

All balls no brains.

They should be a tiny bit more afraid of the other 81M.

[dalton99a]

11. They want to erase 1/6/21 from history.

12. Congress must expand FCC regulation of cable 'news' op-eds

We have let the First Amendment get raped by this one 'loophole' long enough.

What FoxNews has done over the last four years, has to have violated any number of FCC broadcast regulations, that are currently on the books. We can regulate cable news' abuse of what they call facts and what is scripted fiction.

Everyone must understand that cable is; a paid subscription entertainment service only. It is not under any 'press' regulations that apply to actual, tangible, validated news (real validated news being; printed newspapers/magazines or over-the-air free broadcast TV).
Congress can re-define the FCC classification that and significantly reduce the treasonish, insurrectionish, opinion-esque crap the right winger think is actual factual news. Cable needs an oversight, as it is the main cause of misinformation being spread. Most of what is seen, is simple opinions, but we are not told that fact. A nice little warning label might be the FCC's best option.

The new 117th Congress can require any media, including paid cable, to post a 'personal opinion' notice on any program that would never be in legitimate printed and validated news sources. Adding a requirement to paid subscription services; cable tv, Sirius radio, social media would all be required to have a large notice while an opinion is being broadcast. Not unlike a cigarette cancer warning on a package.

Once America keeps seeing, "THIS IS A PERSONAL OPINION" banner on almost 90% of all those broadcasts, they will start asking....OK what is not an opinion? What is an actual fact? Currently, FoxNews can say anything like a sitcom character would in a fictional episode.
FoxNews is doing something, we can easily make so difficult, so 'bad for business' that they stop this insidious practice of deception.

Congress could also simply require anything that uses the word 'news' to follow the print rules under the FCC. The word 'fire' is regulated in theaters...

13. And that 74-million number is crap.

The Reich is just trying the flambé numbers to make it look better for them.
Just because 74 million Republicans voted for the "loser," does not automatically mean ALL Republicans think the election was "stolen."

Reuters, on Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll, mid-Nov:

Altogether, 73% of (Republicans) polled agreed that Biden won the election while 5% thought Trump won.

So that 74-million is actually (a still outrageous) 54-million.

54-million, plus the 81-million votes cast for Biden = 135 million Americans, or 87% of all voting Americans, think Biden won.

15. The REPUBLICONS DO NOT GET TO DICTATE WHAT WE NEED TO DO

Brian Kilmeade is the problem.

We are the solution. Time to take out the trash!

[PufPuf23]

16. 74 Million need to have their face rubbed into the Trump fiasco and then have the carcass

tied to their necks until it drops off. They should never forget. Those that saw and fought back will never forget.

May many of their most cherished assumptions about life and reality be shaken to their core beings. Learn to love.

17. Uniting would be all these Republicans saying impeachment too. Not coddle our opinion and stroke

our ego to make us feel better, valid and righteous.
