I have a new hero and her name is Angela Rye!

I apologize for my tardiness in joining her fan club but she is simply awesome. She called that POS Joe Walsh a bigot - twice - during their mutual CNN segment. We need more people like Angela Rye who will not mince words and call out the deplorables for the pieces of trash they truly are.




Go Angela!

Obama was held to a higher standard because of his race, and Hillary was held to an impossible standard because of her gender

Trump, the LEAST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE EVER, was held to *NO STANDARD AT ALL*

and like Joy, she kicked ass and took no prisoners.

I really think they dig up that jackass Walsh for ratings purposes.

Took NO prisoners.

The big loser was the ridiculous Brooke Baldwin, who should be ashamed of herself for the histrionics she pulled during the segment. They deliberately book two people who sometimes spew fire and smoke, and then fall on their fainting couches that it actually happens on the air.

WTF did you THINK would happen when you put on a no-nonsense/no-bullshit woman opposite a human kerosene enema, Brooke?

That was one of his favorite comments, usually applicable to what would happen to you if you didn't heed the preferences of the executive suites many floors up.

...and wasn't taking any crap from right wingers. Today on Brooke Baldwin's show she was even more outspoken. When she read that tweet from Joe Walsh my jaw dropped. Then it dropped again when he defended his bigoted statement.

Poor Brooke Baldwin looked embarrassed, she didn't see that argument coming, and I think she cut it short.

I think Lemon's show tonight (10-midnight Eastern) could be another barn burner. Between the Russian shit, trump's stupidity, failed healthcare, failed "Muslim ban", the botched investigations, the right wing is collapsing before our eyes.

28. Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush

How much experience did Bill Clinton have before he ran for President? Clinton was the Attorney General of Arkansas for two years. Then he was Governor of Arkansas for 11 years during two nonconsecutive terms. Ronald Reagan was an actor and then was the Governor of California for eight years before becoming President. George W. Bush was Governor of Texas for only five years after have what some might consider a failed career as an oilman and years of drunkenness.

Bill Clinton is the only guy that had more experience in government, before running for President, than Barack Obama. The standard was not lowered for President Obama. It was lowered for many who came before him and the man who now resides in the White House.
