Geraldo: I Would Love To Beat The “Rotten Snitch” Attacking “This Poor President”

“FOX & Friends” took on a WWF feel this week when FOX News correspondent Geraldo Rivera said that he would like to give a beating to the whistleblower behind the Ukrainian story: “I would love to wap him, but that is another story.” Silly Wabbit, beat downs are for kids.

Geraldo captures the widening and unsettling divide in this country in his take on the controversy:

GERALDO RIVERA (FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT): After listening to the Democrats, they believe that they have it now. 

That everything else, Russia collusion, Stormy Daniels, taxes, making money on hotels, and all that. They are going to put everything away and they are going to laser focus on this. This is gonna be what the impeachment is all about, maybe one or two little other things fall in. 

So it’s going to be the president of the United States in a conversation that was intercepted by a rotten snitch — I’d love to wap him, but that’s another story. 

Imagine this poor president, his whole tenure in office has been marked by snitches, and rats, and backstabbers, it’s amazing how he functions at all.

Notably, Trump’s acting National Intelligence Director testified that he believed that the whistleblower did the right thing. Not a beat down or “wapping” mentioned.

  1. There are reports that the whistle blower is a CIA employee. Geraldo might have a difficult time beating up such a person.

    1. Geraldo might have a tough time with a CIA employee? Ha! Three words for you, kiddo: He’s Puerto Rican!
      Sprechen sie West Side Story? You know the other “guy”, (if there is one) the beaurocrat, is more than likely a Jet.

      William F. Buckley was at one time a CIA employee. Nuff said.

      1. You actually think either side won in “West Side Story”? I guess you missed the whole point of the production. Spoiler alert: nobody turned out to be tougher than anyone else. Stupidity and hatred on all sides resulted in death and mourning on all sides.

          1. Chino shot Tony (who wanted to die because he thought Maria had been killed). I’m glad you corrected the original post. Tony’s about the only one who didn’t get stabbed.

        3. James Strnal…..Some of us try to joke while alluding to a social and cultural reference, and not always with the detail of a purist.
          I don’t know what you do for fun. But, digging your way through the crevices of the deep, dark meaning of a Broadway musical can be quite daunting, and leaves you little time for pleasure, I’m sure.

    SOCIOPATHIC TENDENCIES OF TRUMPERS

    “So it’s going to be the president of the United States in a conversation that was intercepted by a rotten snitch — I’d love to wap him, but that’s another story.

    Imagine this poor president, his whole tenure in office has been marked by snitches, and rats, and backstabbers, it’s amazing how he functions at all”.
    ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

    These passages reflect the perverted mindset of Donald Trump and all his followers. Trump is portrayed as “this poor president” besieged by “rotten snitches, rats and backstabbers”.

    This ‘poor president’ grew up in one of New York’s richest communities. His father ranked as one of New York’s richest citizens. Trump’s father set him up in real estate and left Donald a sizable fortune.

    For decades Donald lived the life a playboy in a gilded penthouse. His friends were the rich and famous. Donald hung out at Studio 54. He also visited The Playboy Mansion on his visits to L.A. Donald then made a second fortune on Reality TV just being his boorish self.

    There is nothing about Trump’s life that would make any normal person view him as heroic. He was spared traumatic service in Vietnam because a Podiatrist was willing to say Donald has bone spurs on his heel. A Podiatrist who just happened to rent office space on one of Fred Trump’s buildings.

    Donald never held public office but crashed the heights of politics through appearances on Fox News whose studios were only blocks from Trump’s penthouse. Trump has the money to self-fund his presidential campaign. And Trump was willing to say anything to incite White nationalistic sentiments.

    Trump got the White House despite losing the Popular Vote. And once in office he pursued the politics of division like no president before him. For 3 years we have seen a constant pattern with Trump: outrageous tweets and utterances followed by denials.

    Trump is always bashing someone or some institution. No president has had more grievances than Trump. This matter involving Ukraine is all too typical. Trump was plotting to get ‘get even’ with enemies; which is all he ever does. One could get the impression, from Trump, that a president’s job mainly consists of ‘punishing opponents’.

    Trump’s idea of leadership was a trillion dollar tax cut for the wealthy. A cut that benefitted Trump! Said tax cut has been Trump’s only legislative achievement. Though he tried very hard to revoke healthcare for the poor.

    Therefore it is sociopathic that so-called ‘journalists’ like Geraldo Rivera would refer to Trump as “this poor president”. Nothing about Donald Trump merits any sympathy to speak of. Trump is the most narcissistic of rich heirs in the history of America.

    Trump has declared war on the environment. Trump has weaponized government agencies. The Attorney General is now compromised because Trump involved him in this Ukraine matter. And meanwhile Trump keeps bashing his Federal Reserve Chairman. Because the latter won’t lower interest rates enough to benefit Donald Trump!

    Referring to Trump as “this poor president” is the height of insanity. But that’s where we are in the Trump era.

    1. RIVERA’S STATEMENT CAPTURES….

      Peter you were posting on these forums last night as I left my office when I wished you good luck getting some action in WeHo. I was really pulling for you that you’d find love to calm your restless young heart.

      Suggestion: create yet another profile on Grindr, much like you use multiple sock puppets on here, Photoshop your photos to appear butch and try to be friendly.

      Now run along and let the adults have grown-up discussions

  3. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/3033 This is the Federal regulation pertaining to the ICIG. The IC legal department determined that the complaint does not fall under their jurisdiction. I don’t see how the regulation allows someone from Intelligence to submit a complaint based something the president allegedly did. Of course they have the right to contact their Congressman but IC personnel have no right to question what the president does. Only Congress (not the Democrats) has that right.

  4. Actually JT, the DNI said that the (not-a-real whistleblower) followed all the proper procedures.

    Now, do you have anything to say about the fact that this unknown person is represented by someone who has had rolling billboards driving around Washington offering to pay for anti-trump information?

    Or how about the fact that the person who Trump allegedly extorted has said he didn’t feel pressured at all. Don’t you need a victim to prove extortion?

    Adam Schiff said his parody of the transcript was the essence of the president’s message to Ukraine. OK, let’s talk about essence. The essence of Obama’s “more flexibility after the election” comment is this: Tell Vladimir I need a FAVOR. It would BENEFIT ME POLITICALLY if he didn’t make any waves before the election.

    1. Maybe, but it’s usually not a good idea to count your chickens before they’re hatched.

  6. “…beat downs are for kids.” (?). We’ve allowed the 5th graders to take over the Principal’s Office. There is NO RESPECT, at all. We’ve gone from civil disagreement to emotional & immature name-calling. AND, we’ve allowed bad losers to believe they DON’T NEED to get over it.

  8. Mr “Empty Safe” couldn’t wap his way out of a sand trap. More blow. He better hope the wb doesn’t take him up on it. Your time is more than past, boring, do the decent thing and STFU.

  9. Res ipsa loquitur captures the widening and unsettling divide in this country

    FTFY

    If only you would pivot to being a nation builder and desist from fanning the flames.

    1. Estovir – Jerry River lost the last public fight he was in. On the Geraldo show he was going after some young Neo-Nazis when one of them mentioned “Didn’t you used to be Jerry River?” Jerry/Geraldo took a swing at him (the kid was seated) but the kid got up and hit him back and broke his nose. 🙂 It was a lovely brawl.

      1. I thought he was Puerto Rican until I read today’s comments on here.

        When I was born, my mother filled in my birth certificate with the name Gerald Riviera, adding an extra “i” to my father’s surname. She did the same thing for my sister Irene. Later, she would drop the pretense for my sister Sharon, only to pick it up again with the birth of my baby brother Craig. Whenever we asked about the inconsistencies, she would shrug shyly and joke her way out of it. “I just forgot how to spell it,” she would say, and leave it at that. Underneath, I came to realize, she was deeply embarrassed over what was a clumsy attempt at an ethnic cover-up.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geraldo_Rivera

        What his mother did was actually quite common amongst ethnic immigrants. My father shortened our family name when he arrived to the US with my mother so that we, as children, could “fit in” with America even if his Cuban accent gave away the finca / ranch. I petitioned the court as a teen to restore our last name…. all 18 letters, not including my middle name

    3. Estovir, what are you babbling about??? You’re the nastiest (and most cowardly) troll on this blog. Yet you’re presuming to make a statement on behalf of ‘unity’..?? What a phony!!

  12. Geraldo does not like the Biden aspect. Uncle Joe will up and go away. Did you guys know that Geraldo’s birth name is Gerald Rivers? Going hispanic got him some room to get on stage.

  13. Let us ask the question: Who it up a creek full of manure? Biden or Trump? When complaining about Trump they have to explain the topic. The topic is Joe Biden and his son Hunter and the money Hunter and maybe Joe get from some company with some tie or function in Ukraine. Joe? How did your son get this money ($50K a month) and was it because he was your son? Where did all the money go?

    Because of all this so called “whistleblower” nonesense one thing will happen. Uncle Joe will up and go away. The Dems cannot put him on the ticket. So who is left?

    1. It’s been remarked that it was formatted like a legal brief. Students of this situation who claim a history of having handled whistle-blower complaints have said they’d never seen that.

      I think it’s a reasonable wager that Adam Schiff, the lawyer Bakaj, persons who altered the standard whistle-blower form in August 2019, and the nominal plaintiff have cooked this up as a publicity stunt. I’m also betting that the supposed whistle-blower is a straw plaintiff selected because the terms of his employment render him less vulnerable than was Andrew McCabe.

      1. “It’s been remarked…” “…who claim a history of having handled…”

        “I think it’s a reasonable wager…” and finally, “I’m also betting…”

        That’s a lot of unspecific wording that – to me – boils down to…”I have a theory with absolutely no evidence to back it up.”

        .

        1. Oh, so let’s wait for the credible evidence dug up by the unbiased reporters and journalists who, like Chuck Todd, say poor Hunter Biden is “being weaponized politically.” Oh boo hoo for poor Hunter. They want nothing to do with asking Joe Biden a single question or looking into the story surrounding the Biden family’s fortune do they? Now if these same reporters learned that Don Jr. was raking in $50k a MONTH sitting on a board for a foreign company while his dad was sitting VP? Nonstop media outrage. But Hunter Biden? Media goes silent. Ssshhhh. Let’s leave the poor kid alone.

      2. Now they want you to go ahead and donate to the CIA whistleblower’s Go Fund Me campaign. Who knows, maybe he/she will rake in a cool million like Christine Blasey-Ford? Or maybe just a half million like Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok? Surely there is a paid CNN gig forthcoming and a lucrative book deal.

        Oh and stop by Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s fundraising page and buy yourself a “IMPEACH the MF’er” tee shirt while you’re at it.

        Using our CIA/Intel Community to attempt to topple our own government? These Democrats are real America loving patriots aren’t they? Not.

    2. This is a “six ways from Sunday at getting back at you” stunt by the Intelligence Community that is full of Trump hating anti-Trumpers. Some wonder if this has bitter John Bolton’s hand in it?

      The Trump hating snakes know that this partisan hit job “complaint” would have been shut down if it was elevated through other appropriate policy channels. So they pushed it through the intelligence channel with full on pressure to get it out there. They succeeded.

      Lying Adam Schiff knew about this being in the pipeline at least a month ago. This IC IG knew that Schiff knew about it, and the IG knew his life and career would have been made miserable IF he did not play the game. So he chose to elevate this whistleblower’s claim knowing full well that it is a partisan hit job full of holes and clearly the work of a Trump hating partisan (with help) who want to take Trump down.

  15. I think that Trump should put an end to this with an Oval Office speech, pointing out what the Congress is doing, and pointing out what Congress is not doing, then say go ahead and impeach me so we can get on with doing what is not being done.

    1. PH…….I concur.
      Here’s a crazy idea…….
      Pres Trump needs to have a serious telecast from the Oval Office, explaining his duties according to Article 2, and how the Democrats are putting our country in jeopardy by undermining these duties. Have charts, visual aids, if needed. But give the citizens a history lesson.
      Then as JFK did, successfully, with a fitness campaign, focusing on Phys Ed for school children, Trump should announce a “know your constitution campaign” for school kids, (esp Jr and Sr High ages) providing them with pocket sized constitutions, cleverly packaged, etc. Then follow up with 30 second PSA’s on television each month. Do a rap/hip hop version (ugh) if they want….
      Dept of Ed is part of Exec Branch…..his administration needs to use that to their advantage. “Teach your children well.” csn&y

      Is this cuckoo or pitifully Pollyanna? Oh well, just a thought. He’s got the most powerful venue in the world……the oval office and he needs to take advantage of that……
      .

      1. From which planet have you emigrated? tRump has the bully pulpit. He cannot conceive of that which you suggest – it is beyond his limited abilities.

      2. President Trump would have to be willing to learn about his duties first. Then he’d have to develop the attention span with which to address charts and visual aids.

        The Democrats are not the only ones being obstructive. All politicians play this game when they are ‘in power’. The Republicans did it to Obama.

        That said; this President made it clear from the campaign trail what he thought of the ‘establishment’ and was applauded when he made jokes and spread deliberate misinformation about the people he might have to work with. He went out of his way to be insulting and dismissive about people the jobs that they do when he had no inkling about what a President is responsible for. He is reaping what he sowed. That it surprises people that he is having a hard time is what amazes me.

        What did you think was going to happen? A man that had no experience in government or in policy-making would be prudent to keep doors open. But Trump has ALWAYS (even in his private business) set his stage so that if failure came it could always be blamed on someone else.

        His fall-back is always ‘don’t look at me…look over THERE’.

            1. YNOT….President Trump has been consistent in staying faithful to his Constitutional duties. I’m just a housewife and I am aware of that….so how hard could it be?

    2. Absolutely, but he should first order the immediate declassification of all the documents that Nunes and the Republicans asked for two years ago.

  16. “Trump’s acting National Intelligence Director testified that he believed that the whistleblower did the right thing.”

    Turley is spinning again by leaving out a portion of the statement. “the whistleblower did the right thing” has many meanings but we do not know the meaning until we see the words that followed: “he followed the law”. Truley is turning to the dark side not because he dislikes Trump, rather because he is knowingly distorting and pushing false information.

    The driver of the automobile did the right thing by crossing the intersection when the light was in his favor. However, two people were in that intersection and they were killed. I can very easily quote the former and not the latter: “The driver of the automobile did the right thing.” Killing is now the right thing to do according to Turley.
    —

    ” .@RepAdamSchiff to acting DNI Maguire: “You don’t believe the whistleblower’s a political hack, do you, director?”

    Maguire: “I believe the whistleblower is operating in good faith…”

    “I think the whistleblower did the right thing, I think he followed the law” “

    1. I see no spin here. The addition of ‘I think he followed the law’ makes the comment MORE daming – not less.

      Your illustration using the driver of an automobile is not equivalent. In your illustration the driver did not follow the law – legally, drivers are required to yield for pedestrians.

      Adding the, “…,I think he followed the law.” is actually – to my mind – more damning. The addition of the rest of the quote makes it clear that there IS a law in place for these situations and that the whistle blower followed the law.
      As should we all.

      With the addition, I might be inclined to extrapolate that if the whistle blower followed the law then the President did not.

      As it is; I take Maguire’s comment to mean that he did not believe the whistle blower had ill intentions in reporting the conversation (“…he acted in good faith”). That according to the law the whistle blower made a report about a situation that was potentially illegal, or unethical.

      This controversy and finger-pointing at the whistle blower is why people do not report questionable situations and why in past Administrations our government was at liberty to spy on American citizens – until Snowden blew the whistle. Let them speak out and then weigh the facts.

      1. I see no spin here…

        is actually – to my mind –…

        I might be inclined to extrapolate that

        I take Maguire’s comment to mean that….

        You wouldn’t last a day in a medical research lab as doctoral student never mind a Principal Investigator with your “research skills”. Facts help most endeavors but in your case you’re the type to shred evidence ala Hillary Rose Law Firm Whitewater and wipe servers ala Hillary bleachbit

        Regards to Adam “pencil-neck” Shcrift

      2. “I see no spin here. The addition of ‘I think he followed the law’ makes the comment MORE daming – not less.
        Your illustration using the driver of an automobile is not equivalent. In your illustration the driver did not follow the law – legally, drivers are required to yield for pedestrians.”

        I am surprised VW that you don’t see the similarity of the two situations and you don’t see the spin. I believe that is a problem.

        There are numerous laws involving whistleblowers and that he follows the filing laws doesn’t mean much else or mean anything about the person, what he says, or his intent.

        The comment, ‘I think he followed the law’, was made by one answering a specific question. We really don’t know what that answer meant and can only assume that the complaint was filed (bureaucratically) according to the law even if the whistleblower broke numerous laws. That has to be investigated before conclusions are drawn. Turley knows that and we should as well. Turley spun the data available.

        In the auto example, ‘he followed the law’, that it is OK to travel across an intersection on a green light. We don’t know that he broke the law in killing the pedestrians until we gather the information to show that the driver didn’t use due diligence. Maybe the driver was behind a truck that suddenly swerved out of the way so the driver could see the pedestrians but could not stop in time. That is where your argument falls apart because you said the driver was guilty based on the law without knowing all the data involved.

        I think the problem here is that too many people wish to draw conclusions based on too little evidence. We don’t truly understand what was said in those very few words and they can mean host of other things both good and bad. Unfortunately some use statements of this type and fill in the blanks to meet their desires which may or may not be the truth. I think that is what Turley did.

        Do you now understand where the problem lies?

    1. Well, at least until a whistle blower exposes a Democratic president…? Still willing to ‘wap’?

  18. DJT has consistently broken or flouted the law his entire adult life. It is well documented over and over. To the Fox watching cluckheads that regularly post on this site: stop typing and start thinking critically.

    That applies to you too, JT.

    1. You say DJT has broken or flouted the law his entire adult life, sooooo let’s impeach the MF’er? Is that your example of “critical thinking”?

  19. Since they changed who a whistleblower is just before he made his report, I think the whistleblower must come before Congress and tell us who told him what and what his position was. He got a lot of stuff wrong, who gave him the wrong information?

  20. if this story is true about this about this whistleblower it is all hearsay evidence and wouldn`t both of these people have to testify before congress? isn`t the president being charged with the same crime as joe biden when he biden threatened the ukranians that we have on video?
