90. Tweety is who got Scabs onto the air with his own show after hosting him on Hardball

Thu Aug 24, 2023, 03:21 PM

Aug 2023

tons of times. The attraction between them was based on Tweety's own wingnut tendencies and Scabs' willingness to engage to browbeat Libs. Both Scabs and Mika Mouse seem to show a tiny bit of deference or gratitude or honor to persons from their past: Scabs with Tweety, Mika Mouse who hosted Dan RATHER with reverence after he was railroaded (she worked under him at CBS). She also hosted HALPERIN after he was disgraced (for sexual harassment?).

I'll skip the chestnut of their courtship and marriage, but will never give them a pass for peddling Drumpf in 2015, giving him tons of free air time and pushing him as being viable as a candidate. They chased after him, him willingly at first, till he got p.o.ed at them for who knows why and attacked them, leading to their current unpleasantness with him.

Morning Joe is trash [View all] angrychair Aug 2023 OP

Republicans have been living in an echo chamber so long they don't know but this is a losing proposi Walleye Aug 2023 #1

I don't believe that's true SickOfTheOnePct Aug 2023 #25

I think the polls now just stay with a conventional wisdom on this. It's a tough question on a poll Walleye Aug 2023 #37

Sorry I'm confused SickOfTheOnePct Aug 2023 #46

You are correct there are no polls and say that Walleye Aug 2023 #49

Despite the majority support for abortion rights generally, 66% said abortion should be legal in, at Celerity Aug 2023 #48

Thanks for the info SickOfTheOnePct Aug 2023 #61

That would fall under the 'anytime' answer, a stance that not even the majority of Democrats hold Celerity Aug 2023 #118

That doesn't sound quite right Laha Aug 2023 #119

no limits whatsoever would go beyond just 'medically necessary', it means for any reason, any time Celerity Aug 2023 #120

I have more respect for medical professionals than that Laha Aug 2023 #121

I respect your opinion Celerity Aug 2023 #122

I support abortion rights with no restrictions. Walleye Aug 2023 #51

OK, so thats ONE. Care to explain how that would work? oldsoftie Aug 2023 #54

So are you saying I should change my mind? Walleye Aug 2023 #55

Just curious how you'd defend that position oldsoftie Aug 2023 #57

Because the woman should decide, it's nobody else's business. Most late term abortions are medical Walleye Aug 2023 #60

Again, you'll be hard pressed to find a poll that backs you up oldsoftie Aug 2023 #62

Do you really think a woman is going to carry a pregnancy eight months and then decide she doesn't Walleye Aug 2023 #63

I do appreciate your approach to practical politics Walleye Aug 2023 #71
