He's no more a fraud than any other broadcast personality. While I'm certain he believes a lot of what he says on his shows, I'm just as sure he's portraying a character that is greatly embellished beyond his core personality.

Actually no wait, it's a bunch of liberal bloggers who masquerade who call themselves a news site. I know because I follow them for their sports blogging, and just have to hold my nose when they try to get political.

"Roasted on social media"? The herd has already moved on to the dipshit from MSNBC who called for ISIS to suicide bomb Trump's properties in Turkey.

I generally like Malcolm Nance's analysis on the various shows I hear him on (e.g. Steele and Ungar on the POTUS channel on SiriusXM). And while I'm sure his post was "tongue-in-cheek" I must say I cringed when I saw that on Twitter yesterday. Given his background as an intelligence professional he surely knows better than that.

I feel like social media can roast multiple people at once without breaking a sweat.

AJ is apparently asking for a safe space from the media. This from a Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist.

Twitter had the perfect response for this:

"If Alex Jones loses custody of his kids, I hope someone follows him around and claims his kids never existed and were just actors, forever."

Anyone watch Jones' "interview" with Megyn Kelly? Jones say he took the precaution of recording the interview. He posted the recording of the preinterview with Kelly in which she promises to not do what she ended up doing, turning it into a hit piece.

He wrecked her with that, apparently. She should have known he was going to secretly record everything.

Here's my incredibly important opinion.

I prefer her short hair.

I think AJ is a made up character kind of like Larry the Cable Guy.

Doesn't it bother you then that your Presidents treats this character as a primary news source?

Larry the Cable Guy is at least likeable and harmless.

No, the president is a fan.

So long as you tie your support to a couple of issues like you claim you did in the past, you deserve to be given some shit for these negative and ugly things about the candidate you supported, because you don't get to vote for an abortion president, you get a president of all the things.

Policy-wise, I don't think there's been a presidential candidate who more closely matched my views than Hillary Clinton.

Despite this, I refused to vote for her, and had my state been in play I would have voted for her only to beat Trump. I also would have squealed about it like a lipstick smeared, stuck pig.

Again, this is someone who frigging agrees with her.

So, yeah... people who completely disagree with her get to pick option Trump.

That wasn't the point. The point was that if you choose to vote for him, you don't get to use your personal reasons to excuse the rest of what he does that isn't related to those reasons.

Please talk to the hosts of the "The View"
