With it is looking increasingly unlikely Donald Trump will be heading to the White House, the prospect that he will partner with his campaign CEO, Breitbart Executive Chairman Steve Bannon, to launch a Trump TV network seems more and more probable. In the meantime, the right-wing website is staffing up with potential on-air talent.

On Monday, Breitbart plans to announce former Red Sox pitcher and Trump supporter Curt Schilling will begin hosting a daily online radio show featuring political commentary and calls from listeners. The broadcast will eventually include a video livestream. The show marks Schilling’s return to media six months after ESPN fired him for sharing an anti-transgender Facebook post with a message that read: “A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.”

“He got kicked off ESPN for his conservative views. He’s a really talented broadcaster,” Breitbart editor in chief Alex Marlow said.

I struggled with myself as to whether I should include the photo, as I feared that some of you female DUers would spontaneously climax upon seeing it.

3. Deluded Bathroom Warrior joins Dead Breitbart in doomed Trump media adventure

Why do they think this is gonna succeed given the failures of both Palin's and Glenn Beck's similar enterprises?

7. Oh, but Don-the-Con knows SO MUCH about running a business (believe me!)

It takes unimaginable business savvy to navigate companies into 6 bankruptcies.

[procon]

6. Great decision!

Only an idiot would sign up to kill off his reputation and ruin his future earnings potential with brand sponsors by association with a racist like Bannon. Maybe he'll look like a rockstar by concentrating his political efforts to stroking the egos of alt-right whackos.

Buh-Bye, loser!

[ImaPolitico]

12. OMG!

"Loser" is right! He just signed his death warrant with Briebart.

I imagine Mr. Schilling will become the bright star of Trump's new TV Station /program along with all the other stupid actings goons -- Newt Gringrich; Rudy Giuliani and last but not least the two Crazy sisters….Jan Brewer and Sarah Palin.
They all earned their stars together. Curt has now joined the Craziest country club of all time.

8. Whatever happened…

to Curt Schilling. When he was living in Scottsdale, AZ he was the nicest person ever. Curt and wife Shonda, were active in many things. Curt was so well liked and now…….this!
He has stooped to the lowest of lows … joining forces with Briebart of all things. Well, they can have him. He is not the same man as baseball once knew him.

17. I know, back in the old Stainless days he was a nice person.

He changed when there was the big taking of millions in state taxpayer money and then bankrupt? the almost complete game, layoff people in an instant. He pulled a Romney/Republican business 'gone' with taxpayer money.

21. I think it was always there, he just kept it hidden

He certainly was thin-skinned - I remember he used to go on a local sports talk show weekly where they would kiss his ass. But he wouldn't talk to the Republic and went out of his way on the radio to trash the Republic's sports writers (except the one on the radio show, of course).
I thought it was strange and a little annoying, but he never really said anything offensive, and he did do good charity work, so I ignored it.
Maybe because he was always in the shadow of Randy Johnson when he was here?

11. Nazi Incubation Channel

I don't see how something more extreme than Fox News is going to be popular

Limbaugh, Hannity, Bill-O .... add more vitriol? And sponsors will
pay for it? Subscribers?

After drawing yuge crowds (literally 15 people) to his "Trump Rally" yesterday, this is his next step. Off a cliff

[Sunlei]

15. New Republicans, they even suck bad at kids WOW game.

[GWC58]

16. He's got the right last name.

After all he's a Schill for the alt-right! Good luck finding a baseball anylist job. They sure don't want your "color" commentary. I was going to ask how that ESPN gig was working. Then I remembered they fired your sorry ass!😤

[Snake Plissken]

18. This trainwreck keeps getting better and better, it's like Russian Driving video on steroids

[George II]

19. My wife is cleaning up the floor right now where I puked.

And he didn't get fired from CNN for his conservative views, he got fired for being offensive about those views.

[Demit]

25. Isn't that nice for her. Couldn't do it yourself?

[George II]

26. Ever think she OFFERED to do it? Why the f* is it your business anyway?

[sinkingfeeling]

20. Just perfect for him.

[adigal]

23. I listened to Schilling on Hardball and he is as dumb as a box of rocks

Should be a painful talk show

[mysuzuki2]

24. Great pitcher.

Silly, stupid man.

27. Making money off of a corpse's name, that is the con way.
