Sean Hannity's losing his fucking mind & not even Fox can handle it.

He's doubling down on this-and embarrassing Fox. He's gone soon, hopefully. Also if he's begging for help about his advertisers-sounds like the screws are turning.

Good joke Fox.

I think he's having a nervous breakdown and just wants someone to kick him out the door so he doesn't have to admit he quitted.

This is one of the few "someone is having a meltdown" OPs where we got in at the right time and get to watch it unfold in real time.

It's like one of those LA car chases, but instead of a sleek,stolen red Integra being driven at dangerously high speeds with some skill, it's a fat piece of shit white panel van, loaded with propane tanks, that's running on one sparking rim and heading directly to a spike strip and roadblock in Riverside county.

Hannity is melting down for sure. You watch twitter even traditionally pretty right leaning groups etc. are mocking him and saying he is crazy.

Corrupt media...The corrupt media that's been proven right again and again by the idiot president himself?

Yup he's setting up for the next adventure. Lots of money in the alt right bubble. Not 19m a year but he'll be fine.

I'm gonna guess the "future at Fox" bit is a bit of bluff to get eyes on his show

I mean, if I ran that miserable organization, he would've been canned by lunch time today. I know they're desperate to keep their viewers, but they're equally desperate to make the bad publicity stop.

For the record, Hannity also flirted with birtherism for a bit. Mostly used the similar "I'm just asking questions" defense, but never went balls out like he's doing with this shit.

Not sure the alt right bubble is going to keep going in the long term. There might be scraps to fight for right now, but in a couple of years? It'll go the same way as The Blaze...

I mean, where's Tomi Lahren right now? She was forgotten about faster than the original lineup of Destiny's Child...

He floated the 'I'm quitting' balloon already, and nobody bit on it. Now he wants to be fired and get a payout. He doesn't want to be there, but nobody else will take him.

He is melting down on twitter right now. Going to talk about his future on his show tonight, lol

Hopefully there isn't one.

the seth story is basically the denial phase of the trump story. they can't come to terms without the pretense of a Killary Clinton Conspiracy.
 
If Hannity goes, there are enough FOX exiles floating around to Voltron into a new network.

AND TOGETHER WE FORM:

Wasn't Hannity calling meetings to discuss leaving last week or earlier after his buddy got canned? This should come as no surprise if he's out, he's already filthy rich with his own radio show, lubed up and ready to slide into the Rush Limbaugh radio crevasse.

This won't be anything. He'll hit the same talking points in the Seth Rich story he did on his radio show, talk about the boycott effort on social media and say he's not going anywhere.

Why wouldn't it continue to grow? There's almost always been an ugly, nationalistic/"borderline" racist underbelly of the republican party. Trump merely emerged at the right time to perfectly take advantage of it. Whether he is removed from office or not, the GOP isn't going to stop being vehemently opposed to illegal immigration, stop being offended/scared of diversity, etc. That breeding ground is ripe for alt right conversion. And until the republican party drastically changes their primary process, specifically by removing southern states from the beginning of the process, Trump-like candidates will continue to gain traction. We're not going to simply go back to a day where Bush types waltz to the nomination.

This isn't just happening to older people in this country BTW. The alt right is sweeping up younger, white conservatives as well as "both sides are corrupt" burnouts. White men who feel society has marginalized them and decide to take out their anger on minorities and women.

While I sympathize with "Never Trump" conservatives, they need to deal with the fact that the GOP created this monster over the period of decades and it's not going to go away when Trump goes away.

I hate this kind of people that throw everyone like them under the bus just to make a name for himself. We have one example like this here in Brazil, where a gay, black guy coming from a poor background got together with right wing bigots and started to fight against the black, gay and poor people agenda, and because of that last year he was elected in São Paulo as a city councilman.

Good joke Fox.

Probably Shep, Wallace, or Baier saying that.
