Ari Melber is interviewing George Papadopoulos

I don't really care what he has to say. Does anyone think he has any credibility? He just today asked Trump to give him a pardon.

on edit: Papadopoulos' book is titled "Deep State Target" - what bullshit. These people are sickening.

and Michael Avenatti has other concerns right now.

Melber has become unwatchable, between his useless guests and his rapper-wannabe shtick.

He is like DA/defense atty/judge all rolled into one, taking the opposing view for its own sake when interviewing and interacting with guests.

Besides lacking a conscience, he’s not sharp enough to be a psychopath. It’s difficult to believe anyone with any significant degree of intelligence could be loyal to someone as dirty as Trump.

He only pleaded guilty to those minor crimes he hadn't committed because the special counsel was threatening him with much more serious crimes under the Foreign Agent Registration Act. I guess George is looking for a shoulder to cry on for such a sweet deal from the special counsel.

"Oh shit honey, I just got the truck stuck."
"It's ok, we're in the driveway, i can see the lights of home and the smoke from the hearth."
"We'll never make it tonight. Better get behind the seat and warm up some fruit juice and grab a few bags of Snickers."
"Of course. What was I thinking.'

one Saturday afternoon with the girls being hungry and opening a bag of Hershey minis for the 20 mile ride back to Pender. It worked pretty good. I still have stuff in the truck here in Texas - still carry a logging chain, two come-alongs, two bottle jacks, two jack stands, some 2 foot 4x4"s, shovel, rope, pair of jeans, flannel shirt, socks and an old hunting jacket, blankets, water ... full survival man mode.

Not because of Papadopoulos, but Ari never let him answer a question and he kept steering the interview suddenly in different directions. I wanted at least to hear what the guy had to say, but now I know less than before.
