Instead of picking over every single little thing, I mean, really! You put one fake photo of a judge with a convicted criminal taking off her shirt, and it's like a big deal or sumpin'. :roll: Mighta been a staffer, you ever think of that, huh? :lol:

Anyway, instead of playing the "blame game" about some silly photo, let's speculate about why the FBI hasn't raided Hunter Biden - who obviously has a NEW LAPTOP, even if they never get any evidence to connect him with the mysterious other whohasit :shrug: laptop that has all the bad evidence in the world but nobody knows where it is or whether it really belonged to Hunter Biden or not.

But the bastard probably has a laptop TODAY and he took it on vacation with the fambly so Poppa Joe could tell him secrets to sell to the Chinese! Omg, Defcon 0.75 or sumpin'!

So let's raid THE WHOLE BIDEN CRIME FAMBLY while they're on vacation with ONE THOUSAND FBI AGENTS who are TRAINED to plant evidence.

Jest. -- Comedy...

Ya know, James Corden is leaving his late night show so there is an opening for comedic jest on a NON-NEWS program. He may want to apply. But FoxNews was never NEWS anyway so just keep doing his thing.

OK, so what was the context? What did they say when they showed that "meme in jest"? Did they say anything to indicate that it was "only" a jest?

We were discussing earlier whether that meme was defamatory and it was said one would have to prove Fox knew it was fake. Wouldn't admitting this was done "in jest" be an admission they knew it was fake/defamatory?

Yes, but: Then we're into Hustler/Jerry Falwell territory: Because it was obviously fake, no one would have taken it seriously.

The clip is ... interesting. Kilmeade fumbles so much, as if he realizes in real time he's about to say read outloud something not only false, but possibly tortiously false.

But this is just law-school-exam fodder: the magistrate isn't going to sue.

I bet not. Assholes.
In the video I saw, Kilmeade had Hannity on and Hannity said that he thought the picture was altered to show the judge's face on Epstein's body. Kilmeade said nothing to that and just sat there with his shit-eating grin.

Still assholes...

It did not appear to be in jest in the video clip.

Hee Hee, taking contemporary Hannity & mixing in some DeSantis defending the raid on Rebekah Jones in 2020. Jones was the data scientist that got fired because DeSantis didn’t like her accurately posting COVID information.

I served in Congress with Sean Duffy. This is an utterly pathetic thing to say. But it doesn’t surprise me that Duffy would say it. Doesn’t surprise me at all.

Am I the only one who thinks it mildly ironic that Fox hosts and Sean Hannity are raging about a parody post with him labeled as “manipulated media” by twitter. Fox and Hannity, victims of “manipulated media.”Cry me a river.

Every once in a while, Doocy gets it right. How long before trump demands he be fired?

This may have been covered while I was away, but as OAN disappeared, it took AWE with it. At least on Verizon.
