Work in progress (I mean the cartoon, not the ShitHead)

The shithead is a work in progress. It is a tear down job like those Atlantic City Boardwalk shitholes once run by that sane mob.

I had thought it was the mountain of trump steaks he has shoved up his ass.

Could be the degree though

80 year old conservative Senator, Merv Riepe, from suburban Omaha, takes stand, sort of, for women's reproductive rights.

Terrorists and thieves run the GOP. They should be walled up in crypts for the public good.

The same way that the Army does Aptitude Tests to find out who the smart people are, and to find out what the potential of a person is so they know where to place them in the organization, then we need for our schools to identify the smart and talented people and then we need to fast track our smart people to the top so that they can create jobs for the people.

For instance, Tyler Perry rose to the top, and now Paramount Studios wants to sell Black Entertainment Television to Tyler Perry...

https://www.okayplayer.com/culture/tyler-perry-is-in-talks-to-buy-majority-stake-in-bet.html

Tyler Perry is creating a lot of jobs.

The United States needs to do Aptitude Tests on our students in school to find out who the smartest kids are and we need to find out what their skills are so that we can help to fast track our smart people to the top so that they can help other people.

Salute,

Tony V.

 re: Tucker Carlson

He is still employed under contract to Fox until December of 2024 with a yearly salary of $20 million.
Fox has no thought, at this time, of letting him out of his contract until the  2024 election is over.
For obvious reasons.


After being ousted from his prime-time show at Fox News Channel, commentator Tucker Carlson is more popular than the network that fired him,  especially among conservatives and Republican voters,said Rasmussen Reports, who polled 945 likely voters.
Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Likely U.S. voters have a favorable impression of Carlson, including 36% who have a Very Favorable opinion of him.
Fox polled ar 52 per cent.

Well, of course. That is one of the things the Dominion discovery showed: Fox knows that its viewers are gullible fools who will abandon the network if Fox does not feed them comfortable lies. No wonder its viewers bolt when they axe one of their most watched professional liars.

I am starting to see a silver lining to Fox after all.

He will lose that money in the wrongful death suits that are the only possible coda to his illustrious career. It will be great not to hear his voice for a while.
