Because It’s The Truth, Dammit!
Y’all, where would this country, nay this world, be without Geraldo Rivera? There, right there, is a man who seeks out the truth and speaks it.
So, here’s the headline:
Geraldo explains – some of his verbal bursts are admissions of Trump’s guilt so watch closely —
“In Nixon’s case, if he had someone that stuck up for him, he wouldn’t have been motivated to cover up that burglary, he would’ve let the perpetrators get their just desserts,” added Mr. Rivera.
So, he’s admitting that the underlying crime is about the same, but that Trump doesn’t have to do a cover-up because – ta da! – he has Sean Hannity and Sean Hannity alone on his side, which, coincidentally, is exactly same reason why Tump is having to do a cover-up.
Here’s the best part:
“Everything you say is absolutely true,” Mr. Rivera responded, “But watching your show and watching your producers work and seeing these packages where you put the lie exactly to what they’re saying — who else is doing that? The nation is being fed this constant stream of propaganda and impeachment. Some of these people have been calling for his impeachment from the microsecond he was elected. This is an absolute all-out war. This is politics by another name. This is warfare directed at the president, and they won’t give him a breath of air. You’ve got to watch his back.”
Geraldo isn’t getting laid enough.
We know for a fact that Nixon *was* a crook, and blatantly abused the power of the presidency multiple times. And Geraldo is saying that could’ve gone away if Hanity was there to save the day.
Do NOT let any GOP *ever* tell you that they represent the party of Law and Order. They are the party of “What can we get away with?” …
1The truth is: republi-cons & -cants spend the peoples money while Democrats pay it back to the wealthy who loaned it to them to spend — in the first place.
A perfect example is the “tax cut” of 2017. First the ‘aints of the republi-cons cut taxes for the rich; sliced a couple of dollars off withholding for working people then imposed a “tariff” on Chinese manufacturers that is passed along to ordinary wage-slaves – especially at Wally-world – where everything for sale is from China. Final outcome is simple … ordinary people now have a 5% to 25% tax on their disposable income / spending. That’s an after-tax drag on their life-style and they will go to their graves believing trumpl-thin-skin cut their taxes and republi-cons are … good for the country and their best political friends to boot.
This way, he claims a tax cut and still makes the ordinary working family pay for it. This is the republi-cons & -cants
2I guess Geraldo isn’t aware of the fact that Roger Ailes was a very junior Republican party operative during Watergate, and wrote up a proposal (based on Nixon’s frequent charges of media bias) that GOP donors should create a “GOP TV” network (his actual phrase). Whenever anybody insists Fox is news and not propaganda, be sure to mention that. It was designed as GOP TV from the outset. Rivera is just catching up.
3Lord, God. Why on earth are we paying any attention to Geraldo in this day and time? He hasn’t been relevant since he aired the slow-motion footage of the Zapruder film, showing JFK’s assassination—and that was when I was a young man.
Let’s move on.
4Geraldo, he still claims there’s a big surprise inside, these days by Hannity, Trump, or whoever, and then when the safe is opened – – it’s just old, stale air. Again.
5Fox Hate is the Conservative Cult’s answer to controlling the message as required in The Powell Memo.
‘This is why Fox News exists
Nixon didn’t have Fox. Trump does. And that may make all the difference.’
“Forty-five years ago, President Richard Nixon resigned. His impeachment at the time seemed almost certain, as key Republican senators had signaled they would no longer support him. But Nixon’s acolytes did not blame their president for his gross corruption and mind-boggling criminality. Instead, they blamed the press — the “enemy,” as Nixon had described it — for hounding him out of office.
Over two decades later, Roger Ailes, one of those Nixon retainers, founded Fox News. As the network has gained power and influence, it has played many roles — an attack dog that savages progressive policies and individuals, a counterweight to a media that conservatives consider unbearably liberal, a radicalization engine that brings a bigoted ideology from the fringes into the homes of millions of Americans, and a propaganda machine that champions conservative politicians.
Over the past week, we’ve seen another one of Fox’s roles. As it has become clear that President Donald Trump used the office of the presidency to suborn a foreign government to investigate one of his political opponents — triggering a formal impeachment inquiry — Fox has been serving as a bulwark against the repetition of Nixon’s fall.

Puerto Rican posters on Twitter are asking if Geraldo can’t be declared white; they want no part of him.
7In which we learn yet again that the space between his ears is as empty as Al Capone’s vault.
8Then as now.
9If Republicans insisted on law, order truth and honesty,
Nixon and Trump would just be awful presidents, not lying, cheating, moral black holes.
Republicans stood up to Nixon, I am not sure they will stand up toTrump.
“The Do Nothing Democrats should be focused on building up our Country, not wasting everyone’s time and energy on BULLSHIT, which is what they have been doing ever since I got overwhelmingly elected in 2016,” Trump tweeted today.
Hey, do you remember when the Republicans said that the dignity of the office would make Trump act presidential?
Yeah, right.
10Gerry has been smacked up the head with a metal chair, but the real failure was by his crew. When he opened up that empty vault, one of them should have shoved him into the vault and securely locked it.
Never too late Fox Not the News crews. Stuff Gerry, Greta, the frozen food clown, and as many other Fox ‘celebrities’ as will fit uncomfortably into the vault and get it right this time.
11Geraldo saying it doesn’t make it so. He could admit that Trump did absolutely anything, and it wouldn’t hold up in court, or convince me. Yes, I believe that Trump is a crook, but not because Geraldo said it. He doesn’t know what time it is, nevermind what Trump did or didn’t do.
12All due respect, but I disagree with the diagnosis for Geraldo’s brown-nosing tribute to Sean Hannity, Defender of the Indefensible. I think he’s gotten laid TOO much and f**ked his own brains out.
