But it’s gotten so nasty at Fox News.

Look, I think unfortunately in this country, there is less and less civil debate, and I think we’re all poorer for it.

And again, later in the interview:

Some have said that if Roger Ailes were around, he would not tolerate the infighting among the hosts on Fox News. How much string do you give them?

I can’t speak to if Roger were around or not, but unfortunately in this country there’s less and less civil debate. Civil debate among our countrymen and our colleagues at work is something we always aspire to.

Civility! It’s what Fox News stands for!

Talk about epic fails, in that case. That station has spent the last 30 accomplishing the exact opposite of anything even resembling “civil debate.”

One of the comments nails it: this is a “reality” TV trope. All the Dr. Phils and the Donahues, and even a portion of home-reno shows do this.

It’s manipulative garbage, but as you say, hardly surprising from this guy.

That was my take also. He really believes he is hosting a reality TV show, and this was a “big reveal moment.” As I said, not at all shocked at this point, but God, I wish I was.

I don’t understand why any decent person who isn’t being forced to ever agrees to meet with that piss poor excuse for a human being; he’s a walking black hole.

There’s nothing positive to be gained from it, whereas the potential for residual negativity is damn near certain.

I want to meet him.

Just so I can refuse to shake his hand.

Bonus points if instead I can shake Obama’s hand at the same time.

Surprised this didn’t end with “dictated but not read”.

Every day, I am ever more fucking mortified that this muthafucka somehow represents the whole nation, and I’m even more enraged at everyone who enabled this ceaseless shitshow.

So, today is apparently day #1000 of the ongoing dumpster fire that is the Trump presidency. What is the appropriate celebration? I chose home made mead in volume and screaming into a paper bag. Any other suggestions?

I mean, look…they even have their own Tokyo Rose.

Yeah, there’s two here, but take your pick.

I went for a run earlier today and it helped. Might be out of order for you - it’s a good way to revisit that mead.

I sure hope we have a plan to exfiltrate those nukes when they try to take possession.

I guess they could air lift them out? New Republic article describes what’s there.

“ but 50 B61 nuclear gravity bombs currently reside in specialized underground vaults at Incirlik Air Base in southern Turkey, some 20 miles from the Mediterranean coast. These air-dropped bombs are capable of delivering a range of nuclear yields, from 300 tons up to 170 kilotons, or roughly eleven times the yield of the bomb the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima in August 1945.”
