Liberty Quote
Without a taboo against deficits, deficit spending tends to become habitual. It is politically corrosive, because no constituency expects to be the one to have to sacrifice when the limits of borrowing have been reached.

Good to see Trump vindicated by the prompt arrival of that hospital ship in New York which will free up standard hospitals on shore by emptying beds of the non-Covid patients into this floating alternative.
Meanwhile we have had policies that have produced closure of some of our private hospitals dealing in large part with elective surgeries, many of which are quite urgent. Go figure.
When you are so blinded by your prejudice, how can you be a reasoned commentator. Maddow should join the Young Turks….
Rachael ‘mad cow’
How can this woman be still employed? She has zero credibility and has done since 2016. Surely it’s time for MSNBC to stop embarrassing themselves.
Makes you wonder why people watch her show doesn’t it?
I mean, how many lies and false allegations are viewers willing to tolerate and still tune in?
Trump could invent the cure for the Corona Virus and still be vilified by the media.
Trump expresses a passing wish, not even quite a hope, that the shutdown could be over by Easter, and this becomes “Trump’s Easter deadline” in the fetid mouths of these same hacks, gloating over his “failure” to meet this “deadline”.
Davey Boy’s 3rd Catechism
Have you seen her ratings? They don’t watch her unless they lost the remote down the back of the sofa.
. Maddow should join the Young Turks….
When this over-ripe lezzo finally shrivels, the ABC will snap her up for a bargain.

Totally agree with you.
Almost everything is made out to be an over hyped catastrophe.
I don’t waste my time watching the TV news anymore.
Maddow is the USA’s Peter VO. Also good to see after the lefty media went nuts 5 days ago the FDA has approved wide-scale use of Chloroquinine on the basis that the research to date suggests it is unlikely to do any significant harm and has shown very positive results in small scale trials to date.
That Madcow chap? It’s only purpose is comedy relief
A few moments away from the adult stuff can restore one’s perspective – watching its exaggerated facial expressions and slanted mouth amuses me, there is now a permanent alignment from its left and upwards to the right. I reckon that has been caused by misery after backing the criminal Mrs Bill Clinton then watching astonished as Donald Trump streeted the witch in the straight. It was in tears that night, “literally” – a word it uses often.
Sometimes the head tilt is so extreme the thing’s bonce is at risk of falling right off.
The stupid freak show haircut and the loud New York accent are annoying, the continual lies and the unresearched, completely and utterly wrong form of reporting offer much to ridicule. Why whichever channel it works for pays a fortune for its incompetence is a mystery.
“I can’t spare this man, he fights”
In short, Trump Derangement is big business.
With network TV– not just cable — and most of the US print media doing nothing but Trump gotchas 24/7, it’s no wonder that Fox News Channel is No.1 for cable news.
But Maddow and her fellow frightbats and shemales at MSNBC are No.2 behind Fox and well ahead of CNN, which is a national joke that no-one’s watching — especially now that it’s just background musak in empty US airports.
Maddow continues to make a fool of herself because her audience is made up of the stupidest people ever born and demand to be lied to. It’s shit ratings compared with Fox, but it’s a living — unlike the people with real jobs, who are now out of work thanks to China, which Maddow is giving regular blowjobs to because Trump and the US are its major global rival.
