Don't laugh at me, please. Is Michael Smerconish.

a right-wing hack?

The reason I ask is that I was listening to SiriusXM Progress driving today, getting more and more incredulous/agitated/heartsick and I thought I might see what other people are saying. Obviously, I didn’t change over to the “Patriot” channel, but I thought maybe changing over to the POTUS channel might give me an idea of what people were thinking.

Well, it was all right wing, all the time. The callers were perfectly fine with everything that’s going on. I turned it off after a couple of minutes. I went back to channel 127.

Who can educate me? Thank you!

Has been Pooh-poohing Musk’s actions and even called them ‘intriguing’ today.

Don’t get what’s in it for you to pretend he’s a ‘Trump hater’.

Recent polls he ran... his readership supports trans gender in the military and is against repatriation of immigrants.

Also against his GAZA policies and against pardoning J6'ers
