Fox is covering fireworks in Moscow (for new year's).
This is so surreal at this point -- Fox
praising the fireworks display in Moscow and discussing it as the "start of 2017." It is beyond surreal at this point. Trump constantly praising Putin (while his ridiculous devotees act like he's a proud 'Murican patriot), and now Fox is heralding the glory of Moscow.

Oh NOES! White people are watching!

2. UN-F*CKING BELIEVABLE!

And their older, angry white audience doesn't see it? WTF is going on???

4. I honestly don't get it. Their audience is old and rabid about "Murica" yet their willingness to lap

up the Trump/Russia nonsense is just scary. These idiots are the hypocrites who screamed about every politician who dared not to wear a flag pin after 9/11 etc etc etc -- and here they are happily gobbling stories about Trump, Putin, and f-King Moscow fireworks.

5. The older, angry white audience supports it

Current Republicans are a far cry from yesteryear's anti-Communist Republicans. They see Putin as a strong and patriotic leader, and they feel he is a stark contrast to the "weak" leadership of President Obama. Thirty years ago, praising Russia would have been inconceivable; these days, praising Russia is part of "making America great again" for Republicans, because they think Putin made Russia great again.

they like him.

They go to bed early. Can't stay up late enough for American fireworks, and they only watch fox. I'm sure many of them have dementia, my dad did, and don't know or care where they are.

There is no way this can be happening. Please tell us that we are in a bad dream and that it will all be over soon.

Oh FFF, Fox News always shows brief clips of the fireworks in major cities of countries every single year.  My preference is Sydney, Australia with the opera house in the background.

STOP IT JUST STOP IT.  Every country has fireworks every year and this is NORMAL.

No, no, no. Moscow is only celebrating because Trump won and Putin's hacking worked. /DU mode

Perhaps people watch the fireworks in various places because they like fireworks displays.

These DUmmies are, well, DUmmies.

It just a New Year's firework show.

They have posted crap like that for years, YupItsMe.  Certainly you recall the George W. Bush years back at CU.  And I never thought it would approach the leftist Derangement.  But, Trump did it.  More fun for us!

Absolutely. And I'm not a fan of fireworks, not too much imaginative in my years of watching them.  Will admit, sitting on a boat on Lake Michigan on the 4th was pretty damn cool.

Pretty much all of the news networks show fireworks in major cities across time zones worldwide. This is nothing new.

Of course, they do. These are simply deranged micro-organisms that serve very little purpose in the ecosphere.

This is why normal people either laugh or recoil in disgust when they are exposed to the opened bare heart of a leftist.

I'm older (than a lot of people, but younger than some) and I'm white, but I'm not angry.  Nov. 8 put a smile on my face that just won't go away. :-)

I rowed back over to see if anybody came to their senses...that news networks show the fireworks displays from all major cities every single year. 

Nope.

DUmmy outrage and tears bring a smile to my face.

It is going to be a glorious four years of watching their (the DUmmies) meltdowns.

BTW, Happy New Year to all the Cavers

Since we're talking DU-folk in this, it is possible that some of them don't realize that Moscow is a world capital and multiple time zones to the east of the US. They may also not realize it - I suspected it, but had to check - but there are no other major world capitals in the same time zone as Moscow that would be likely to celebrate the Western calendar New Year with fireworks (Fireworks? In Baghdad?).

If there were "fireworks in Baghdad," chances are it would be because of an ISIS attack on Mahdi militia positions. :whistling:

Exactly. IIRC, another (or the other) world capital in that time zone is Mogadishu.

It take the mentality of a DU-member to overlook what Fox (and probably other networks) was obviously doing and dive headfirst into the Russian hacking conspiracy theory.

I'm a bit slow, sometimes, but I wonder ... the Framers defined treason very stringently, and set a high standard of proof. Could it be that they anticipated - or had experienced - loonies like Buggee tossing the T-Word around if their breakfast eggs are too runny or their Cheerios are soggy?
