So, with those Trump hating text from FBI investigator on the Trump investigation.
Us Trumpsters shouldn’t think that sounds like our President won’t get a unbiased investigation.

Trump is not the law, kids.

Trump obeys the law.

That is the law.

I haven't seen anyone saying Trump was the law. Why do you liars have to make up crap?

No, that was Republicans calling for the death of the president.

Well, fox is owned by liberal Nazis, Disney, so, technically, yes.

You need to learn what a Nazi is. Hint: It's not a coalition party. It's a :"white" party. Like the GOP. Which, of course, is 90% white.

God, you need to teach right wingers so much. Normally you ask, how did they get to know so much. But the only question is, how did they get so ignorant? Did they have to unlearn the obvious?

So in R-Derp world...if you're "white" then you're a Nazi? God, you're dumb!

No, the GOP is not a Nazi Party, but there are American neo-fascists from the Alt Right in it, like AsianTrumper, Correll, Steve_McGarrett, etc., and those who protect them, like OldStyle.

If they vote for extreme policies, then they are extreme.

Need to watch your terms and definitions.

The tax bill is not extremist, simply right wing and conservative.

The wall is not extremist.

Mass deportation is extremist. Denying a pathway to residency and citizenship for Dreamers is extremist.

Denial of civil liberties to LGBTQ people is extremist.

On LGBTQ issues Sil is an extremist but not one on almost every other issue.

Funny, we thought the Berlin wall was extreme.

The Tax bill is definitely extreme. Reagan's in 1986 didn't come close to causing this much damage.

The only one even close, was Bush's deficit creating Tax Bill in his first administration.

And if Republicans really thought it was good, they wouldn't have resorted to blackmail:

Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says

You begin with a fallacy of false equivalence. Their wall was to keep Germans in a totalitarian state.

The bill is harsh but not extreme.

18 U.S. Code Chapter 115 - TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES

As long as Republicans are in power, "sedition" is rewarded in the United States. The GOP is playing with fire.

Yes, of course they are. They are also accredited as a news organization, even though they are only one superficially. They spin news from other organizations.

FoxNews has no news-gathering operations overseas at all. They have stragglers who are called to the scene, say when the London car attack happens. They report, but all the footage is licensed from other news orgs, be it BBC or Sky News or ABC News or even Al Jazeera. Whoever has the footage they want. They're agnostic when it comes to running their operation. Which is good. They spend very little money and gloss it up in the FoxNews veneer to wow the low information voter.

So, it's great as a profitable enterprise but it shouldn't be viewed or treated by other real, actual news organizations as a legitimate news operation. They're just not.
