Jesus H. Kerist...Ari Melba-toast is so...so....milquetoastie:

He was referring to the fact that Trump nominees to the Supreme Court voted against Trump, and he said, “which he seems to take personally.”

SEEMS!!!? He SEEMS to take this personally???? He takes the fucking WEATHER personally, you dope. He is DISTURBED….he is NON COMPOS MENTIS… he is a sexual deviant…he is a compulsive liar, thief, and sexual assaulter. WAKE THE FUCK UP.

TWO THINGS:

1. If MSNOW covered Hannibal Lecter from Silence of the Lambs, it would go something like this:

Dr. Lecter allegedly, and I say allegedly because he has not yet been charged, much less convicted, escaped from prison today by again, allegedly, beating one correctional officer to death with his nightstick, cutting off his face and was said to have applied it to his own after tossing the officer’s body down an elevator shaft, then being loaded into an ambulance, allegedly killing the attendant and the driver once it had left the prison en route to the hospital. Now it could be a coincidence that these occurrences happened within an hour’s time and we will have to await the police report before we can sully Dr. Lecter’s reputation any further in this report. It must be remembered that he was an eminent psychiatrist before he was accused of serially murdering individuals whom he found offensive.

2. For all the horror films we have seen, for all the crime and malignant fiction and reality with which we have dealt in news, documentaries, novels, and been connected to in our lifetimes, why is it so fucking difficult for those individuals to understand that this incarnation of Caligula, this malignantly narcissistic individual with a lifetime history of doing all of these misdeeds which have been documented in New York, in Atlantic City, in the USFL, in the Florida scene, to say that this is sick? That this is the nadir of human behavior. That this kind of behavior is absolutely intolerable and needs to be stopped immediately or the nation will face nearly irreparable damage. All these people talk and talk and talk about their patriotism but you know what? This is the very definition of sedition.

What we need is a Joseph Welch-like moment. If you don’t know who he was, look him up. Someone needs to say something when he calls them Piggy or Stupid or Corrupt or Fake. Not just to stand there with the prepared follow-up. If you do it, they will be singing your praises seventy years from now as we still mention Mr Welch.

I’m so mad I could spit.

Reminiscent of Nance Greggs, if anyone remembers her. Also, I can't stand when "journalists" smirtk or giggle after they report something completely out of bounds that he has done. Like, "isn't he a cute little rascal?" NOO...he is the President of the United States.

Let us know if you hear anything. I sent her a DU message a couple of years ago and no response. But I was a big fan of hers.

I am fairly certain she has virtually nothing to do with the site anymore. I went through a period like that here as well and came very close to leaving but cooler heads prevailed.

as the Learned Lawyer who knows more about The Law than his unschooled and unwashed audience, whom he feels compelled to remind that everyone is innocent until proven guilty and they are only alleged to have committed crimes and haven't been charged, let alone convicted, and we always want to remind our audience that we have to be accurate when we talk about The Law, which many people don't understand, so Ari is here to explain it all to you without using a lot of big words.

This happens when he doesn't have a rapper guest he can exchange rapper slang with and be the cringe Cool Dad.

I must say I was a bit surprised at how heated you were. It was a side of you that I hadn't seen before.

I look forward to seeing more, as you feel that it's appropriate.
