What a major buzzkill it must be to find out your friends think everything you’ve been talking about for two years regarding President Donald Trump “won’t matter politically.”
But that’s exactly what happened when MSNBC’s Chris Hayes asked his friends about all the Cohen-Manafort news yesterday.
He’s “impervious,” Hayes’ friends said. “Nothing that happens matters”:Chris Hayes Verified account
@chrislhayes Follow Follow @chrislhayes More Interesting takeaway from discussing yesterday's news with friends who are not news/politics junkies: a pervasive sense that nothing that happens matters to the Trump's fortunes, that he's impervious, and that all this stuff won't matter politically.
But it gets better. Hayes then admitted he thinks this is “a view lots of reporters and those in the media more broadly share,” which is a giant WTF moment. As in, WTF are they spending so much time on it if it doesn’t matter politically? Why not cover other stories that do matter politically, like Mollie Tibbetts’ murder?

@chrislhayes Follow Follow @chrislhayes More I think there's really good reason for people to think that, and I also think it's a view lots of reporters and those in the media more broadly share. But that perspective, itself, ends up empowering Trump bc people skate very quickly past what's actually unfolding.
But it “should” matter, he says:

What does he think WE went through for 8 years with Obama and 8 years of Clinton? Karma's a B*TCH.
I’m sorry, but do these people ever LOOK at their own ratings? They could reach more people hanging a bed sheet off an overpass during rush hour.
Too bad, so sad.
It’s just a wake up call as to how extremely corrupt our government has become. Everything is potentially illegal but some are protected others targeted.
The MSM spends so much time on Trump in an attempt to drive down Trump’s approval ratings. It’s not working, in fact it’s backfiring. There will be no Blue Wave.
Its more like “WTF do we need the MSM if all they say is what Media Matters tells them to say”
Or covering Clinton’s ACTUAL crimes?
Want a wake up call...
Read...Police State by Jerry Spence. (Not about police on the street)
He talked about this twenty years ago
Manafort & Cohen amount to zero!!! The only nutcases that give a hoot about these characters are buffoon Meida & Democrats. Trump wins again!!!
If Trump would have fired Sessions, none of this would have happened. I’m not worried about Trump being impeached.
Excellent verse, very much to the point in President Trump’s case. Whatever his spirituality may be, he is being used by God. God can, and does, use even non-believers (not saying that President Trump is non-believer, no idea what his spiritual beliefs are) who are friendly to God’s people.
DJT is a believer. He frequently references his faith in speeches.
For me its true:
So long as he combats libs and lambaste the media on twitter, Donald could publicly twist the heads off puppies and I’d still vote for him.
I”ll richly relish doing it, too.
It’s fair.
Because they are children.
They WANT it to be true.
They keep defying their own logic and come back to their wish for Trump’s fall.
It is eating away at their brains and causing them sleepless nights and restless days.
Hayes is correct. We are going to hold the line for Trump, come what may.
A break in the dam means America as we knew her is OVER.
The more mud you throw at him, the larger and more powerful he becomes.
Oh - and he's a Mud Monster with MILLIONS of supporters who want to lynch the people attacking him - because they're attacking us, too.
And they want to punish us for supporting Trump, so we should punish them, first...
Breaking MSNBC Story: TRUMP TAX RETURNS EXPOSED
Details as they're laid out by Rachel Maddow:
"Well, it's just the first two pages of a tax return that was probably 2,000 pages long."
"Interesting ... after all the wild claims we made that Trump doesn't pay any taxes, it turns out he paid $38 million in taxes just for this one year."
"Oh, and by the way ... This wasn't such a big scoop for MSNBC after all. These documents were officially a matter of public record anyway. Donald Trump had to submit them to the State of New Jersey when he applied for a casino license in Atlantic City."
No wonder these cable news stations have lower ratings than an overnight TV test pattern.
It won't matter much to guys hanging from trees...
