https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212525026and missed some stuff. Maybe another episode?
Anyway, little about Grandpa, but Fred was a bit of a scumbag. Much made of the indictment and plea over racism in his buildings. Then, much made of #2 Son being a conman. In one case, he managed to get financing by showing a contract he signed, but didn't show the blank page where the other party didn't sign.
Couldn't tell if they were admiring his getting away with all of it, or exposing him as the luckiest bullshitter ever. But, the point is that Newsmax is exposing his soft, raw and filthy underbelly.
Does this mean anything?

"CORNISH: Does the seriousness of this cast a shadow on the White House? Are they concerned about what, for instance, is going to be coming out today?
RUDDY: I think it casts a huge shadow over the White House. I think it's very serious. I want Congress to conduct full oversight on it. And I think we need to look at it. I think Congress and I think Republicans and Democrats have a duty, no matter who's in the White House, to ask tough questions, and the president can push back when they think they overreach.
.........
Now, it does seem like he's dismissing it, and he's being dismissive of it. I'm not sure he completely understands the implications of the impeachment inquiry. I think Nancy Pelosi is the smartest person in Washington right now. And I think she didn't pull the trigger on this without knowing that she had more ammunition in her guns.
And so I think this is just the beginning. And I'm not sure this White House is prepared for it. It doesn't have the communications staff or the response that's going to be necessary for an impeachment ordeal. There's six committees opening guns up on the president. And there's been, you know, staff that still needs to be appointed in the White House. It's just not a good situation. And I believe that the focus for the country should be on doing legislation that improves the quality of life and improves our security.
CORNISH: Chris Ruddy is the CEO of Newsmax"
