just one day after a jury found once-indicted twice-impeached popular-vote-losing insurrection-leading serial-sexual-predating casino-bankrupting hush-money-paying real-estate-scamming classified-document-thieving weather-map-defacing tax-cheating charity-defrauding money-laundering fluorescent tangerine ****face Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll, CNN planted a big sloppy wet kiss right smack on his big dumb vacant pumpkin face.

there they were, giving a traitor to his country free prime air time and bowing and scraping and calling him ‘mister president’ and giving him the respect and deference he absolutely ******* does not deserve.

CNN packed the audience with MAGA enthusiasts. the network bent over backwards to ensure Trump would be able to preen and boast and lie and distort in front of an adoring crowd and receive no push-back at all.

it was an uttter ******* embarrassment.

Trump mocked the woman he raped. his audience giggled and hooted and cheered.

Trump repeated the disgusting fantasy of ‘post-birth abortion.’ “you could kill the baby at 9 months or after it was born.” CNN host Kaitlan Collins let it go unchallenged. what in actual ****.

Trump deflected and refused to say he wanted Ukraine to win. his audience swooned.

Trump lied once again about the 2020 election. he called January 6th “a beautiful day” and promised to pardon the insurrectionists. his audience broke into applause.

Trump called the overturning of Roe v. Wade a “great victory.” ugh.

the Trump town hall was a ******* war crime and CNN knew exactly what it was doing, throwing journalism under the bus in a shameless two-fisted grab for ratings.

this is dangrous s***, people. normalizing cheap fascism and ****hole loutish behavior is what got us Trump the first time. there’s no reason to believe it can’t happen again.

the whole 80 minutes was a tawdry display of lickspittle obsequiousness and no serious person should watch one second of CNN ever again.

i have not watched CNN in years. i got so damn tired of wolfe and breaking news that was not and other things i turned them off. now i am ashamed and disappointed in those guys. and for once lord jesus the next time trump calls a woman nasty when he is what HE is would just slap the crap out of him. it will never happen but a man can dream. besides i do not care if trump is an ex pres he is a traiter to this country and should be behind bars.
