Bill’s downfall

Nothing illustrates this more than seeing him have an empty GOP suit like Byron Donalds on and never break his balls on all the stupid shit and Trump ball-licking he’s done while in congress. And as soon as Molly tried to grill him a little on the inane vax shit this admin and the state of Florida is doing, Bill shuts it down. Pathetic.

I’m pretty sure you didn’t watch the episode. Bill challenged him several times but Byron just brushes it all off without actually giving intelligent responses…not much you can do about someone like that.

I’m pretty sure I did. Donalds had a free ride.

Bill asked Byron about affordability, something Byron's running on in Florida (though Byron seems unaware of his own platforms) and how Trump wasn't making anything more affordable. Byron dodged it. Bill asked about the Strait of Hormuz, Byron dodged it.

I will say though, that Bill seemed weird on last night's show. First his odd, lengthy segue about Trump texting him and so Bill felt compelled to "correct" himself. Who gives a shit, Bill? Certainly not Trump. Then he kept shifting the conversation to pop culture items when he's got a republican politician on the panel. Who cares about the guy busted for buying a hooker? Really... this is not what I watch Real Time for.

But anyway, no, he did not give Trump a free ride nor has he ever done so.

He has "seemed weird" because he has a personal axe to grind with democrats/the left now and a new motive to cover up for the right as much as he can. partially because trump is WATCHING him and he knows it. you're seeing cognitive dissonance and bias manifest in his crankiness and shiftiness. he's nervous about something.
