The Fox blondes seem to adore him. Megyn Kelly, Dana Perino, Shannon Bream...
Why I don't know.
Read Chris Wallace’s bio and things will start to make a little more sense.
Stirewalt is one of those individuals that leave you scratching your head trying to figure out how he made it to the professional level that he has. His opinions are intellectually vacant, his tv presence is terrible, and he seems he would fit perfectly as an assistant manager of a waffle house. The real disappointment is fritches big boy, aka Cavuto, he’s really shown his true anti-Trump self as of late.
Yeah, this narrative sure makes sense.
There comes a point in a conversation/debate when you realize that your friend/opponent is either disingenuous or simply not grounded in logic. That is the time to cut it off and politely excuse yourself... for your own sake.
I couldn’t agree more.
Uh oh, you said train!
Hate Stirewalt, and his little buddy, Dana Perino. They’re both unwatchable.
Check out One America News Network. Fox’s obsession with fairness has destroyed them. I don’t have to have the Libtard’s side of the story. They are predictably evil.
It’s “dire straits”, and also “straitjacket”. Both are from the adjective “strait”, meaning confined or restricted.
“Straightjacket” has become common usage, though it loses the meaning of the word.
I have only seen “strait” used as a noun in modern usage.
People band together when they are being attacked by evil.
Not for nothing, but Mr. Piggy is more suited for MSNBC or CNN. He has been a #nevertrumper from the beginning.
STRAITS: A waterway pinch-point; a narrows. Being in a position of decision.
STRAITS.
sheesh
What? You never heard of the Strait of Gibraltar of the Strait of Magellan? Hundreds of years old...
How about the Bible?
Matthew 7:13
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:”
King James Version (KJV)
The dictionary says it’s an adjective, too. Isn’t straitjacket a modern word?
Of course. But here the word is used as a noun.
Actually, it’s “strait” for jackets too.
I contend that the word "strait" is not used as an adjective in modern usage(but only as a noun). But it certainly was at one time. Yes, "straitjacket" is a modern word, but "strait", by itself as an adjective, is archaic/obsolete.
Examples: "These pants are a little tight." Would you ever say "these pants are a little strait?" Or "The teacher is very strict." But could we say "The teacher is very strait?" To my ears, it doesn't sound right.
Of course. But here the word is used as a noun.
SMH! So tell us what part of speech is the Strait in “Strait of Gibraltar”?
