Fox News Immigration WTF?!

Judge Jeanine Gets Heavily Trolled After She Says Some Immigrants May Be Alcoholics

In what may wind up being the ultimate irony of 2022, Fox News host Jeanine Pirro says she’s worried that some of the immigrants coming into the United States may have a drinking problem.

As The Wrap notes, Judge Jeanine made her remarks on the Fox show “The Five.”

“[Biden] is opening up the borders to people we don’t even vet. We don’t know who among them is a criminal, who among them is a pedophile, who’s an alcoholic, who likes children, who is convicted of murder, who’s a Latin King. Don’t we have a right to know that?”

The irony, of course, is that Pirro has been accused of appearing on-air while in the bag. Here’s an example:

Back in 2017, Pirro was ticketed for driving much faster than the posted speed limit:

The former district attorney, whose show “Justice with Judge Jeanine” is a staple of the Fox News channel, was ticketed by a state trooper Sunday for driving 119 mph in the Southern Tier town of Nichols.

Pirro, 66, was pulled over at 1:15 p.m. on Route 17, said a spokeswoman for the state police. The speed limit there is 65 mph.

Imagine if Pirro had been drunk when she was going that fast!

It didn’t take long before internet karma caught up with Judge Jeanine for her “alcoholic” remark regarding those immigrating to the U.S.

Fox News Is Upset Because Jen Psaki Told The Truth About Peter Doocy’s Moronic Questions

As we’ve long suspected, the powers that be at Fox News can dish out the abuse, mockery, and criticism, but they sure as hell can’t take it.

The right-wing “news” network is up in arms because White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki dared to tell the absolute truth about Fox correspondent Peter Doocy.

Specifically, Psaki was asked on the Pod Save America podcast:

“Peter Doocy is a stupid son of a bitch or does he just play one on TV?”

Psaki replied:

“He works for a network that provides people with questions that, nothing personal to any individual including Peter Doocy, but might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a bitch.”

Where’s the lie in that statement? Fox has always been known for asking moronic questions and trying to stir up fake controversy over crap like their bogus, manufactured “War on Christmas.”

In response, Fox reporter John Roberts (who used to be a half-decent journalist when he was still at CBS News) got on his high horse and defended Doocy, probably because he knew Psaki was correct and he felt a need to justify his own pathetic existence on a network that has about as much news as a kosher hot dog has pork:

“(Doocy) makes the decisions on what topics he wants to quiz you on, and develops the questions himself.

“His philosophy is a basic tenet of journalism. Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable. If that makes all of us ‘stupid s.o.b.s’, so be it.”

OK, John, we accept that you and Doocy are both stupid sons of bitches. And that goes double for Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity.

A spokesperson for Fox also defended Doocy, telling Mediaite:

“In his role as White House correspondent, Peter Doocy’s job is to elicit truth from power for the American public. His questions are his own, he is a terrific reporter and we are extremely proud of his work.”

He’s a terrific reporter? Then clearly you guys have lower standards than we suspected.

This Tweet From Lauren Boebert Is So Crazy That Social Media Users Are Still Shaking Their Heads

It’s a given that some crazy stuff gets posted on social media. If you doubt that, just take a spin around Twitter or Facebook on any given day and you’ll run across all kinds of head-scratching nonsense that borders on unintelligible and/or vapid.

But a tweet posted by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has completely confounded even the most forgiving of social media patrons because it quite simply makes no sense whatsoever.

Here’s an attempt to decrypt that word salad:

Inflation numbers were released, so the first sentence checks out.

But the “tobacco industry being immune from prostitutes being sued” is a complete non sequitur. Where in the hell did that come from, and what does it mean? Do you recall reading anything in the news lately about the tobacco industry being sued by prostitutes or vice versa?

As for “any sort of economic solution,” be sure and note that Ms. Boebert provided no ideas of her own regarding economic policies she thinks might be used to combat inflation.

Twitter users were left shaking their heads to the point of dizziness.

GOP U.S. Senate WTF?!

Dense Marsha Blackburn Suggests Building A Wall Between Tennessee And…Alabama?

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is to the U.S. Senate what Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) are to the House of Representatives: A clueless gasbag who knows almost nothing about virtually everything.

Blackburn proved her massive ignorance with a tweet she sent out suggesting that her home state of Tennessee wants to see a wall built on its southern border:

“Tennesseans want a wall on our southern border.”

Blackburn likely meant that the people of Tennessee want a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, but the way she phrased her tweet set off hysterical laughter online and was a reminder that the senator’s so-called “qualifications” for office are a degree in home economics from Mississippi State University.

GOP Pollster: Republicans Think Trump Is A ‘Child’ And Laugh At Him

With the midterm elections now just seven months away, some Republicans are taking a long look at the party and trying to figure out if failed, one-term former President Donald Trump still holds sway in the GOP.

The answer, it seems, is that Trump is seen by many in the know as being in the rearview mirror with his influence and importance dissipating by the day.

Eleanor Clift writes in The Daily Beast that well-known Republican pollster Frank Luntz is convinced Trump is history:

“They won’t say it [in public], but behind his back, they think he’s a child. They’re laughing at him.”

Luntz also explained that the vast majority of Republicans have no desire to relitigate the 2020 election and would rather drop the subject completely:

“Trump isn’t the same man he was a year ago. Even many Republicans are tired of going back and rehashing the 2020 election. Everybody else has moved on and in Washington everyone believes he lost the election.”

Clift warns that while Trump’s influence may be waning inside the GOP, that could change depending on how candidates he has endorsed do come November:

“Republicans may be laughing at Trump behind his back, as Luntz indicated, but making fun of the former president could backfire. When President Barack Obama ridiculed Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2011, the putdown was so stinging that some believe it prompted the real-estate tycoon’s 2016 bid for the presidency.

“This time around, we will learn when the votes are counted in the nearly 130 races where Trump has endorsed a candidate, testing his strength in the Republican Party to pick governors and senators and even state legislators—and testing the theories of those who say his best days are behind him, and the fortitude of those who mock him.”
