When we knew there were indictments, but no names yet, he kept saying "Please let it be Jared! Please let it be Jared!"

He is one of the few sane voices trying to help us get passed all the nonsense which is currently in charge of our government. If we don't complete our march to an idiocracy, of which we are 95% there, he can add his name to the history books as someone who did his best to expose the muck. And for the record, fake news mostly exists on the Fox News Network, Info-Wars, Breitbart and where it all started -the National Enquirer (which includes all the other crazy tabloid knockoffs you see in the grocery store check-out isle.

Even as wonderful as they are, I just don't think any of us could sit through Fox And Friends. Intellectual pain is real pain!

We see enough FOX clips on MSNBC, let alone the parodies on SNL. I wouldn't have the slightest idea where to find it, if I ever felt I was up to it. Remember the initial presidential debate was on FOX, must have been the Republicans - a woman I know gave me a call that night to ask me where to find it. She is completely non-political, but she figured I must know since I follow what's going on. So I had to keep her on the phone, going through all the channels before I finally found it!

I would need 5 sec videos response to the question “ how frustrated are you with the current administration?”
Thank you for posting such. Once the compilation video is done, credits will be given to contributors. Please post it to YouTube and give me a link here. Thanks.

Welcome to DU.

However, as a new member at our site that gets lots of trolls, I hope you can understand if we are dubious about your request.

Thanks for all he is doing to bring us back from this aberration.

We are in a fight for America. We are in danger of paying dearly for not paying more attention to State and local politics. The right is trying to get our Constitution changed to their liking. They need only about 6 more states to hold a Convention to do that. That is scary.

I think I would lose my mind if it weren't for John Oliver and the other left-leaning late night hosts.
