Is Stephanopoulos getting paid to defend #HillaryClinton or is it a lifetime personal obligation? He was practically pleading on #ThisWeek!

NYC is home to some of the most beautiful 11-on-a-scale-of-10 women on the planet and yet Lena Dunham thinks men yank their crank to her. 😂

@MaxBlumenthal Nothing to see here. Just some guy trying to capitalize on other people's suffering by badmouthing those who actually help...

.@MaxBlumenthal Did you ever consider that maybe Israel is heading to Nepal to learn from the earthquake how to kill better?

We knew it would come to this. Alternate headline: "Party that promised to avoid shutdowns will avoid shutdown."
At least we'll get some entertainment over the next few days from GOP aides trying to convince the media this isn't a total cave.
Senate Republican leaders are plotting a new strategy that they hope will allow them to prevent a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) next week.
They are considering a plan in which they would split off legislation attacking President Obama's executive action on immigration from funding for DHS, according to a Senate GOP aide familiar with the discussions.
Senate GOP leaders are also looking at dropping any effort to overturn Obama's 2012 executive action, which set up the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Polls suggest this program is more popular because it helps illegal immigrants who came to the country as children…
"We would try to have a vote on just that issue," the aide added. "Does it have to be addressed as part of DHS, or can it be addressed separately? If we can get to that issue and have a vote on that issue, then you come back to DHS appropriations.
The point of the cromnibus in linking DHS funding to blocking Obama's executive amnesty was to put extra pressure on Senate Dems and Obama to agree to the GOP's demand. Want Homeland Security (or at least its nonessential agencies) to keep running? Aha! - better join Republicans in undoing O's immigration action then.
Two months later, delinking the funding is supposedly the way to put pressure on Obama and the Dems. Want to force Joe Manchin, Claire McCaskill, and other centrists to take a truly tough vote on all this? Aha! - pass a clean funding bill for DHS, taking that issue off the table, and then present them with a new bill focused squarely on overturning Obama's November mega-amnesty.
You can tell your party's being run by master strategists when their grand plan for achieving an important goal involves doing the exact opposite of what they wanted to do as recently as six weeks ago. Gonna be a fun two years for the new majority...
MSNBC registered its lowest full-day rating in nearly a decade on Tuesday, a devastatingly low benchmark that shows just how severe the network's decline has become.
The liberal cable news network drew an average of 55,000 viewers in the all-important 25-to-54 year-old demo on Tuesday, its lowest full-day rating since July 2005, according to Nielsen ratings provided by an industry source. CNN had nearly three times as many viewers in the demo; Fox News nearly five times as many.
That low reflects a more general decline in recent years. In January, MSNBC's daytime ratings for January were down 20 percent in total and 37 percent in the demo when compared to the previous year. In prime time, total viewership was down 23 percent, while the demo dropped by 39 percent.
In October, MSNBC President Phil Griffin said the network was "experimenting" with new ways to regain momentum, spawning widespread speculation that he planned to make significant changes to the lineup. Ronan Farrow's show, which debuted last year and has received dismal ratings ever since, is one program that is widely believed to be up for removal. On Tuesday, it brought in just 11,000 viewers in the demo.
While this may represent a new low, the handwriting has been on the wall for years:
Unabashed, sneering, surreal lefty propaganda isn't selling.America's least-watched "major" cable "news" network has continued its ratings slide this summer, falling off a cliff within the key 25-54 demographic. I put "news" in scare quotes because MSNBC is not a news outfit, by its own president's admission, and according to empirical independent studies. The network's numbers are way down across the board and have sustained especially dramatic erosion during the key primetime hours.
Now, The Daily Callerreports that the lost ratings may finally force the network to make some really tough choices:
Considering a number oftheir shows are unwatchable- here's looking at you Chris Hayes and Joy Reid - it's painfully obvious that MSNBC's lineup is in need of a serious makeover.
According to TheWrap, Hayes' crappy ratings are even bringing down those of his TV mentor, Rachel Maddow. Let's just say Hayes as a lead-in is less than inspiring. His innate preachiness even less so.
MSNBC President Phil Griffin is on the verge of making serious changes to daytime and primetime programs. Those reportedly in trouble include Hayes, who could see his 8 p.m. time slot nixed, Ronan Farrow (whose show is actually fun to hate watch), and the aforementioned Reid.
Eliminating some of the biggest losers only to replace them with other, equally obnoxious, moonbats won't solve the network's problems any more than rearranging the deck chairs would have saved the Titanic. As Jazz Shaw points out, even the "star" of their lineup, Rachel Maddow, is being crushed by Fox's Megyn Kelly, in a 509K to 132K
landslide.
MSNBC can either surrender the turf in the evenings and switch over to more true crime type programming such as they run on the weekends, or they can retool the way they approach news.
If they switch away from the Voxsplaining style, opinion journalism which is clearly not selling and put some actual anchors on the desk covering any breaking news and recapping the day, they just might be able to take a run at CNN. It doesn't fix their Fox problem, but they can at least chalk up some sort of a victory and possibly up their advertising revenue. But if they stick with what they have, they'll be stuck with what they have… in terms of ratings.
And while polls tend to vary about the reliability of the network's chief competitor, crap like this does nothing but ensure that normal people will continue to avoid the network altogether.
