- The View’s Sunny Hostin Says Impeaching Trump ‘Shouldn’t Be On The Agendaâ...
The View’s Sunny Hostin, who has been a fierce critic of Donald Trump, agreed with former Vice President Kamala Harris that Democrats should not automatically move to impeach the president if they win the midterms. On Friday’s show, the hosts played video of Harris saying, “Going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. We have limited resources. I think the energy and resources need to be put into accountability, need to be put into investigations.” “What do you think? Do you agree?” Joy Behar asked. “I do,” Hostin said. “We know that Republican Tom Massie…moved to impeach Pete Hegseth. That’s something I think would be appropriate because of the war. In terms of Trump, I don’t think that’s what should be on the agenda.” “Hakeem Jeffries, who I believe will be the next Speaker of the House, he has a plan for 100 days…taking care of the tax credits, limiting ICE, and also stock trades. And then he’s got a plan for the first 100 hours. Which would include just undoing a lot of unpopular Trump policies.” “I’m completely against impeachment,” said Ana Navarro. “There’s 100 other ways to hold Donald Trump and his administration accountable. Impeachment is an exercise that is moot if you don’t have the 67 votes in the Senate required to indict.” “That’s what happened to Richard Nixon, who I dated,” Behar joked. “He was impeached but the Republicans went to him and said, we have the votes to convict. That’s why he resigned. If we don’t have the votes to convict, there’s no point in impeaching.” “It’s already going to be on his obituary, ‘He was twice impeached,'” Navarro added. “What difference does thrice make?” “It’s important to recognize the moment,” said Sara Haines. “Donald Trump was elected and promised things he has never even touched…The voters were left high and dry, which is why we’re seeing some red states flip full to blue. That’s why we are watching all this campaigning.” “It’s important that beyond the accountability, that the optics of the government look correct,” she continued. “Meaning, to go through a lot of the ceremonial impeaching and stuff, the voters have been screwed once. They need to see someone got in there, hold them accountable, do the investigations, fine. But really show the American people that what they promised to fix all these things, that immediately there’s action… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago - Is the Media Exhausted by Constant Trump Coverage?

Francis Chung/Politico/AP TOP STORY TRUMP EXHAUSTION SYNDROME Is everyone getting a little tired of President Donald Trump — including the president himself? Even conservative media is admitting to Trump Exhaustion Syndrome this week after weeks of rallies across the country ahead of next week’s midterm elections. The election may be partly to blame, but it’s also the nature of Trump 2.0: the strong desire to keep the president in headlines at all times, even if those headlines are negative. THREE TAKES Fox News, Howard Kurtz — After 10 years of covering the president, even Fox News admits that most journalists are getting sick of all the requisite fact-checking, Kurtz wrote, and are “suffering from Trump Exhaustion Syndrome.” The symptoms, he continued, include “throwing up your hands and abandoning basic fact-checking because, you know, they think, what the hell, everyone knows Trump says lots and lots of things that are untrue.” Kurtz blamed “the surge in social media.” Kurtz is no stranger to the affliction. Of the president’s recent claim he “never” thought of moving the White House press briefing room, he wrote, “That didn’t sound right to me, and boy was I exhausted after 20 seconds of fact-checking.” But for Kurtz, the press has a responsibility to know when Trump is trying to get them to take the bait to distract from an actual bad story. He concluded, “By convincing themselves there’s no point in challenging him because he constantly lies, many are indeed suffering from Trump Exhaustion Syndrome.” Status, Oliver Darcy — Is Trump even a little tired of… himself? The president “erupted at Reuters’ Jacob Bogage” Thursday for asking if he planned a (now rescheduled) Kansas rally because he was “sick of traveling.” Trump immediately told Bogage he is the sick one, and blasted Reuters as “terrible.” This outburst could be chalked up to business as usual (the president is no stranger to assailing the press), but perhaps the exhaustion from the campaign trail is taking a toll — or even the exhaustion from keeping up the gimmick.

Screenshot A federal judge has ordered a former inquiry into the Trump Administration to determine if officials misled the court in regard to President Donald Trump’s East Potomac Park project. At a contentious Friday hearing, U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes pushed a lawyer from the Justice Department about Trump’s Oct. 18 Truth Social post mentioning the plan for a new course at the park, which currently boasts a municipal golf facility, and his statement that the facility would close Nov. 15. Government lawyers told the judge during a seven-hour hearing a day after the Truth Social post that there was no plan to close the East Potomac course, according to The Washington Post’s report on the form inquiry order. “The third-highest-ranking official at the Department of Justice is telling me, telling a federal court, that he cannot say that when the president posted the course will close on Nov. 15, what he meant was the course would close on Nov. 15,” Reyes said, according to the outlet. The judge, a Biden appointee, lambasted Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward Jr. during the hearing, the news organization reported: The judge opened the hearing by reading from D.C. Bar Rule of Professional Conduct 3.3, which bars lawyers from knowingly making false statements to a court or failing to correct prior false statements. She accused Woodward of playing “games” with language after he sought to distinguish Trump’s public statements from the government’s position in court. “We played games on Oct. 19,” Reyes told Woodward, referencing a previous contentious hearing in her courtroom. “We’re not doing it today.” The spicy hearing had plenty of heat as Reyes repeatedly slammed Woodward and at one point, looked up the definition of the word “involved” in the dictionary after a different government lawyer refused to answer one of her questions. It was also revealed that this week, the government intended to submit a rendering of the new facility to the National Capital Planning Commission for review and that planning for the move had long been underway — something no one mentioned during the Oct. 19 hearing, an infuriated Reyes noted. “Are you telling the court that there has been, in the works, a submission to send these plans to the National Capital Planning Commission for weeks, and no one — no one — mentioned that on Oct. 19 in a seven-hour hearing?” Reyes asked. Woodward told the judge… [TheTopNews] Read More.6 hours ago - MS NOW Claims the FBI Will Confiscate Ballot Boxes — According to the Fear of ...
MS NOW Ken Dilanian When it comes to the MS NOW intelligence correspondents, it seems as though intelligence gathering in their reporting is secondary (tertiary?) to emotion. You are covering a realm that is built on the gathering of intel and vetting the contents – shouldn’t you be employing the same tactics when reporting on such? We have a new report from Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian, he, fresh off clearing the yolk from his mug after being exposed for his very wrong report about Kash Patel landing in Moscow. (A refresher: He never did.) This latest from inside the FBI is a howler. The un-dynamic duo reports that agents are telling them about the prospect of the FBI being called upon to “disrupt” the election process this coming Tuesday. It is all very grave and nefarious-sounding information. It is also rooted in complete and blatant nonsense. According to their report, devious plans abound, based on numerous individuals speaking with the reporters. And yet, they manage to deliver this breathless, accusatory report while it is devoid of anything that can be considered worth taking seriously. Just the headline alone tells us what we are in store for in the article: White House actions spur worry among FBI agents about being called to polling places, sources say. Here is why this report should not only be laughed off as merit-free, but it should have been handed back to these two reporters by an editor with a dram of credibility. There is nothing in their content that you could consider substantial. The entirety of this claim is purely speculative hype from unnamed sources. Behold all of these qualifying terms littered throughout the hyperventilating prose: “Worry” / “expressed fear” / “may be” / “deep concerns” / “could be ordered” / “they believe” / “in theory” / “some agents share the fear” And on it goes. Randos were mewling about their emotions; that is the entirety of this intel. Is there anything you could point to that approaches tangible evidence of…something?! Now consider that typical of a Leonnig-Dilanian MS NOW enterprise; not a single dose of information is delivered by a verified individual. (This pair even reported on Patel seeking out anonymous leakers – according to their anonymous sources.) In typical fashion, this new report arrives from “seven people with knowledge of internal discussions among the ranks.” Not a single person is named, and… [TheTopNews] Read More.6 hours ago - Nate Silver Says ‘Republicans Still Have a Lot of Winning Combinations’ in M...Pollster Nate Silver argued Republicans “still have a lot of winning combinations” that could keep Democrats from gaining control of Congress in the midterm elections. Silver joined the Mixed Signals podcast from Semafor on Friday and spoke with Semafor editor-in-chief Ben Smith and reporter Max Tani to discuss the midterms and what he sees as potential outcomes for some of the more tight and significant races. While some are predicting a blue wave in a few days, Silver argued Democrats have to “summit some very red terrain” and it could prove challenging enough that they manage to fall short because of a few key races. Silver laid out a “death by a thousand cuts” scenario where Democrats manage to flip the Texas Senate seat that James Talarico is running for against Ken Paxton, but then fail in Michigan and Maine with Abdul El-Sayed and Troy Jackson, both also running for Senate. El-Sayed is running against Republican Mike Rogers while Jackson is running against incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME). “It would not shock me at all if they kind of had death by a thousand cuts where they lose Maine by a point and maybe Talarico wins, but then El-Sayed loses, whatever permutations. Republicans still have a lot of winning combinations,” Silver said. The pollster added that Texas will be the most shocking win, even if Democrats are “statistically” favored in polls and prediction markets since the state is so reliably red. “If I went to bed in the wee hours of the morning on Nov. 4 and Texas is lit up blue on all the maps that would still be emotionally kind of shocking just because we’re so accustomed to it being a red state,” he said. Numerous polls have showed unusually tight races in typically reliably red states with just days to go ahead of the Nov. 3 midterms. Watch above via Semafor.
