[So what happened to all the investigations hysteria?  If on his G-20 trip Trump breaks into a smile anywhere within 50ft of Putin, will that be incontestable evidence of election collusion between Team Trump and Russia?  gjr]

    Funny thing about those investigations. The investigators are being investigated, and there is more evidence against them on what they are being investigated for, than for why they are investigating Trump.

    Trump twisting slowly in the wind. All time low in polls, surpassed by CNN in the trust factor.
    This will be a great week for the Putin smoochers on this blog. Trump, Putin in the same room. A wet dream for Bill, Todd and Walt.

    MSNBC is surging. Rachel Maddow has the top cable news program Here’s some data according to adweek.com
    “There was significant audience growth for MSNBC relative to Q2 ’16. In prime time, the network posted +86 percent growth in total viewers and +78 percent growth in the key A25-54 demo. In total day, MSNBC was up +73 percent in total viewers and up +57 percent in the demo.
    One of the most significant cable news ratings stories for Q2 ’17 was the performance of The Rachel Maddow Show. Maddow finished this past quarter as the No. 1 show across all of cable news in the all-important A25-54 demographic.
    Not only did Maddow deliver its largest demo audience since Q4 2008, but the show’s 2.5 million total viewer average for Q2 represents the best total audience delivery for a quarter in series history.
    Morning Joe had a solid quarter in its own right. Not only did it defeat its rival New Day in total viewers for the 9th straight quarter, but its 997,000 total viewer average represents a quarterly audience record for MSNBC in the 6 – 9 a.m. time period.
    The 11th Hour with Brian Williams was the most-watched cable news program in, you guessed it, the 11 p.m. hour. The show also beat CNN in A25-54, with the show’s best demo delivery since Q4 of 2001.”

    When O’Reilly was there he had 3.5 million a day. So in my view FOX made a big mistake. Maddow is able to get 2.5 which is fine, but we all know there are 20% odd the country that are libs.

    BTW. You missed the real LIB “news”. The FOX rejects Megyn Kelly and the others are sinking fast. That’s the REAL news.

    My, my. Looks like Trump has taken 6 straight months of carpet bombing and the rope-a-dope has worked like a charm. That is how real professionals do it, not how fakenews amateur wannabes do it. They plum wore themselves out beating on Trump and now are out of bullets. Sucks to reach back for that last clip in the waistband and grab nothing but a handful of air. Glad to see we are now on the offensive and no sign of backing off. Sweet.

    Now they are pressuring the state’s campaign watchdog to reverse a longstanding stance on contribution limits to once again benefit Sen. Josh Newman, who Republicans are seeking to punish for casting a vote to raise state gas taxes.
    In 2002, the California Fair Political Practices Commission adopted a regulation that said state candidates are subject to contribution limits when they give money to a recall committee controlled by another state candidate. The FPPC interprets the law to mean that state politicians can’t give the Fullerton Democrat more than $4,400 each to fight his recall.

    One thing about Paul Emery, he is a slippery one. You can never pin him down. The link I supplied was to show him Maddow did outdraw “The Five” in their new slot so he added up all the other networks to show how the left is beating FOX. Amazing. Anyway, O’Reilly was way ahead of her by ywo million so we no a personality does draw. There are enough brain dead liberals to give her a audience.

    Statistics, are liars greatest tool. They’re a methodology for herding people. I noticed it a long time ago regarding elections, or by anyone selling something. So naturally I got a chuckle out of this video someone just sent me of Trump versus the news reporter using phoney stats that was supposed to make him give up during the election. Evidently nobody went for it….and he was elected. Then the complaint by the sore losers was that darned electoral college that gives minority districts a voice instead of mob rule.

    Morning Joe is sending a gracious thank you to Trump for boosting their ratings
    MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ Ratings Soar Following Trump Attacks
    Viewership for MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” skyrocketed last week after President Donald Trump attacked the show’s hosts, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, in a series of offensive tweets.
    On Friday, one day after Trump lashed out at “Psycho Joe” and “low-I.Q. Crazy Mika” and claimed Brzezinski “was bleeding badly from a face-lift,” the show averaged 1.66 million viewers, nearly 70 percent more than its usual audience of just under 1 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings released Wednesday. It was the number one cable news program that morning, beating Fox News’ “Fox and Friends,” which usually claims the top spot.
