The hosts of Fox & Friends Sunday were greatly amused by Trump’s tweets, reading them aloud and laughing audibly.

Co-host Griff Jenkins followed up a package about the conflict with Pelosi by noting “We are not the only ones who noticed, President Trump tweeting this morning this: ‘So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run.'”

“‘Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how……..it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!'” Jenkins continued, as his co-hosts laughed out loud at the suggestion.

“Someone’s feeling very comedic today,” co-host Jedediah Bila said, still laughing.

..It took the Fox network awhile to figure out what to do. Treating this as a "JOKE" is Fox's answer to this crises. And, "Fox network" is showing Mr. Trump how he can get out of this mess. This is a "JOKE", and that is how you, Mr. Trump, defend yourself. Just a "JOKE gone astray. " That is what Trump will say, "It is a joke gone astray."

.. This is not a joke, and just because Fox says it is, does not make it so.

I hope they don’t start advocating for christofascist to start shooting liberals.

First they came for the undocumented immigrants but I wasn’t one
Then they came for the naturalized citizens but I wasn’t one
They they came for the Jews but I’m not Jewish and this is not Nazi Germany
Then they came for the Brown, Black And Asians but I am white so it doesn’t affect me
Then they came for the liberals and then Democrats

Why didn’t we stop them sooner?

It was a very kind sort of meeting that I had never been to before. The fire ants that showed up and I discussed the important idea of the fire ants attacking the couch of Fox and Friends. The entire group that showed up, protested the idea, and without a moments notice attacked me for bringing that idea up. The ants did not want to have anything to do with Fox and Friends on any level. I was lucky to get away, but I now have incredible respect for fire ants and their association,..and if you believe this one, you belong at one of those rallies for Mr. Trump.

she's featured on a site that explores ancestry and wouldn't you know . . . Italy. She's not Native American after all. I bet Griff isn't a Native American either. Damn immigrants.
