Humiliation of TV Libs Continues, and it Is Glorious

I thought it was hilarious that Joe Scarborough--Mourning Joe, I call him--and his ice-queen wife had to admit that they slunk to Mar-a-Lago to kiss Trump's ring.

They had to do it because their ratings were in free fall, and Comcast was talking about selling off MSNBC at fire sale prices. As Ed wrote earlier today, Comcast is pulling the trigger on that idea, and the talking heads at MSNBC are scared witless. 

It was total humiliation for them, and on Monday Joe and Mika produced what amounted to a hostage video where they spent over 10 minutes pretending that they stormed into Mar-a-Lago to speak Truth To Power™, when in fact they were trying to save their paychecks. 

Their allies on the left are furious with them. Not, I think, for meeting with LITERALLY HITLER™--none of them believe that crap--but because by breaking ranks, Joe and Mika are undermining the NeverTrump brand that has fueled so many lucrative careers.

I love to see it. 

So imagine my glee when I saw that Sunny Hostin was forced to humiliate herself on The View. 

Yet another hostage video! Hostin looks like she was forced to eat glass, drink salt water, and wash it all down with Ipecac. 

The Matt Gaetz "ethics" meme strikes me as similar to the Russian collusion hoax. Throw out lots of vague, largely unsubstantiated accusations that sound barely plausible and repeat the accusations endlessly. It was the Steele Dossier strategy, the Brett Kavanaugh strategy, and now the Gaetz strategy. 

Sunny Hostin, who for all the world appears to be a know-nothing ditz, apparently is not. As a former federal prosecutor, she must have some brainpower or a very powerful DEI-inspired Rabbi in the government, so she should know that throwing out accusations at even a Congressman could create legal liability. 

Apparently not, but some brighter lawyers at ABC certainly did, and in the space of 3 minutes, they drafted their hostage script and forced her to read it.

The ritual humiliation of Trump's implacable enemies is a wonder to behold, and as much as anything, a sign that the world is healing. There was no place left to go once the public rejected the "Trump is Hitler" attacks. What more could possibly be said? For a decade, the left has thrown every single accusation they could at Trump, impeached him, fueled riots, rigged elections, jailed his allies, and inspired assassination attempts, and none of it worked. 

The Pravda media lost, and Trump won. 

Hating Trump has been a good gig for these grifters. It paid well, required no thinking skills at all, and was a ticket to all the right parties. 

But the grift is done. The world is healing.
