Did anyone else see the focus group on MSNOW yesterday?

It was like an SNL sketch.

Participants were asked what one word described their feelings about the Iran war.

Six or seven normal looking people gave answers you might expect, like “scary.” Then the camera panned to an extreme MAGA-makeover-looking woman and a man to her right. She said “strength” and he said “power” or something equally insane.

I re-arranged it to say "Pride of Power".

MAGAts are cretins. They'll yelp like hit dogs when Regular is at $6/gallon.

And immediately switched to Basketball, when the “Strength Guy” with the American flag kerchief in the coat pocket just drooling over his visions of Haqueseth. What the fuck MS NOW? I thought more of Jen than allowing that shit to air. And yes, the Mardi Lardo make over bubble lipped women had a predictable word.
Both side opinions, is this the FCC new rules?

Unless you're hungry of course.
