Shit is so bad in Trump's White House that even Fox News cannot bother to cover for them anymore.

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

“Let’s just go through it,” Wallace said, before laying out a shockingly lucid analysis of Trump’s troubles. 

1. “Hope Hicks has quit. She’s the person closest to the president in the White House.” 

2. “The president hates his attorney general.” 

3. The deputy attorney general now has to defend the hated attorney general “from the attack by the president.” 

4. Trump’s top economic advisor is threatening to quit because of proposed tariffs, which he wasn’t consulted about. 

5. “The president reportedly wants to oust his national security advisor,” the respected H.R. McMaster. 

6. “Somebody is trying to get Jared Kushner.” 

7. Trump wants to be rid of Kushner, his son-in-law, but doesn’t want to do it himself and so he’s also asked his Chief of Staff, John Kelly, to “help me Kushner and Ivanka out of here.” 

“Other than that, it’s sweetness, light, puppies and unicorns here in D.C.,” Wallace said, wryly. 

“Wow—that’s a nice clip for whoever picks up clips,” Smith said.

That's what I thought, which is why I picked this clip.

Of course there are still those on Fox News who will never criticize Donald Trump, no matter what, but clearly those with at least an ounce of integrity simply cannot continue to defend the indefensible.

    WTF? "“Barron Trump is a minor child and they do criticize him as well,” Pierson insisted. “I’m not talking about your random trolls on the internet, I’m not talking about your sideways bloggers or anyone on the fringe. I’m talking about mainstream reporters, mainstream Hollywood actors and actresses who advocate violence against this family.”"
    "Barron Trump, unlike most of his half-siblings, is not an employee of the White House, nor has he inserted himself in any way into the campaign or politics in general. Past White House children came under attacks from the right as well. Chelsea Clinton was attacked mercilessly as she went through puberty and her awkward teen years while under the microscope of the media. Former President George W. Bush’s daughters also drew criticism while partying through college. Similarly, President Barack Obama’s two daughters were frequently attacked for rolling their eyes at their father’s “dad jokes” and for what they wore to official White House functions."

      Hey 1:51 without the pics it doesn't make teh same point, becuase one of teh captions states that it was a conservative website, Daily Caller, that attack Barron Trump.

      And for what it is worth, the conservocrap attacks on Chelsea and teh Obama girls were worse, because Chelsea was attacked for her physical appearance and the Obama's for completely acceptable facial expressions at a humorous event (turkey pardon.)

      The Bush girls were caught drinking illegally. And while some or even many college students may do so, there are many more who don't - and if kids of privilege are role models - well illegal actions are illegal - right? I mean people are criminals for crossing the border illegally, say the Trumpkins.

      The "official White House function" during President Obama's administration in question was one of the turkey pardoning events.

    3. Sorry, but I haven't read anything about Barron Trump other than the rare acknowledgement of his presence at some sort of White House public activity like the Easter Egg hunt or Turkey pardoning.

    This video may shock Fox News viewers. Nothing was said about Russia or the Mueller investigation. Hannity will probably keep talking about Hillary’s emails.

    "If it’s true, it’s damning. If it’s true, Jared Kushner has to go. For many of us that followed the Middle East closely, we couldn’t understand why the trump administration was so firmly taking the Saudi’s side in this dispute between the Saudis, Emiratis, and Qataris because of the United States’ interests in at the top of the list are thousands of U.S. Troops stationed in a base there, so to firmly take the side of the Saudis potentially resulting of a downward spiral of the Qatar economy put thousands of Americans at risk. If the reason for this was to protect the Kushner’s financial interests, that’s all the evidence you need to make some big changes in the White House.”" Jared Kushner is risking American lives for money. His corruption is a risk to human life, which is why he must go from the White House, and never be in a position of power." {GITMO}

    "rump is still obsessed with Hillary Clinton.

    Despite all his own troubles, the president is still talking to donors about his 2016 opponent, who spends a lot of time hiking in the beautiful woods near her upstate New York home.

    “Is Hillary a happy person? Do you think she’s happy?” Trump mused during a speech at Mar-A-Lago, which was recorded and passed to CNN. “When she goes home at night, does she say, ‘What a great life?’ I don’t think so. You never know. I hope she’s happy.”

    Elsewhere in the speech, Trump fantasized about the possibility of eliminating political opposition and becoming a dictator. Specially, he praised a power grab by China’s President Xi Jinping.

    “He’s now president for life. President for life. No, he’s great,” Trump said. “And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot some day.”

    Trump also criticized his staff and mocked former president George W. Bush as “another real genius” for invading Iraq."

      "The long-anticipated report from the Justice Department’s inspector general ― likely to be released this month or next ― could further undermine that already ridiculous claim. Trump and his allies have suggested that McCabe leaked information that hurt Trump and helped Clinton. But the IG’s forthcoming report is set to reveal the opposite: McCabe authorized leaks that damaged Clinton and aided Trump."

    Treason"“And it was watered down on the insistence of Mitch McConnell?” Todd interjected.

    “Yes,” McDonough replied.

    “And nobody else?” Todd asked.

    “Yes,” McDonough confirmed.

    The Obama chief of staff said he didn’t know why McConnell had insisted on watering down the letter.

    McDonough’s story matched post-election reporting in the Washington Post, which cited several unnamed officials, that McConnell “raised doubts about the underlying intelligence and made clear to the administration that he would consider any effort by the White House to challenge the Russians publicly an act of partisan politics,” in the paper’s words."

      "“As chairman of the House intelligence committee, did the Obama administration spy on the Trump campaign?” Levin asked.

      “I think it’s pretty clear. I think average Americans understand that that did happen,” Nunes said. “To what degree, it’s hard to know because the proper investigations haven’t been done, but it started with unmasking, unmaskings of Trump transition officials that I think are still questionable. We don’t know if that’s been investigated or not.”

      Together, the men made the case that Trump was the real victim of Russian spying, and not the possible perpetrator of a conspiracy to accept foreign help in influencing the election. They laid out a timeline that, like Nunes famous memo, selectively presented a few facts without any context to give the impression that Obama was spying on people like Carter Page—who the FBI had been watching since 2013." “This is an Obama administration-wide effort, is it not?” Levin goaded.

      At this point, they felt they had Obama red-handed.

      “This would be a leak then!” Nunes said.

      “This would be a leak!” Levin said.

      “This would be an illegal felony leak!” Nunes said.

      The contention, it seems, is that Obama illegally leaked information proving his own wrongdoing."

    Like it or not trump is the poster child for white men in America.
    I have traveled aboard on two occasions recently.
    It is common for other countries to perceive that all white men are as hateful,greedy,and dumb, among other colorful adjectives.
    Otherwise, why did they vote for him?

    "The State Department was allocated $120 million in late 2016 to “counter foreign efforts to meddle in elections,” and has yet to spend any of that money according to The New York Times. None of the department’s 23 analysts at the Global Engagement Center, which is tasked to address Russia’s disinformation campaign, speaks Russian–and the hiring freeze imposed by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has “hindered efforts to recruit the computer experts needed to track the Russian efforts.” According to the Times, many of the Center’s leaders are also working in “temporary assignments” due to Tillerson’s halting of promotions–a step towards drastically shrinking the department. Congress also directed the Pentagon to give the State Dept. $60 million “to counter anti-democratic propaganda by Russia and China” at the end of the Obama era, but Tillerson took seven months to decide to take the money and took only $40 million of the allocated funds in the following fiscal year. This comes as the secretary told Fox News in February that Russia’s disinformation campaign is “difficult to pre-empt,” and “If it’s their intention to interfere, they’re going to find ways to do that.”"NYT
