Unlikely. That's dinner time, and I don't want to toss cookies in the middle of a meal.
That reminds me of that old Jack Nicholson movie line, "You can't handle the truth!"
That remiinds me you lack all sense of humor. And truth requires a connection betwen what's said and reality -- not a typical product of Fox 'reporting'.

Hugs and kisses. For some reason, the Taliban is now semi-revered by the hard right. Go figure.
This is one of those really bizarre statements that you make that show that you're completely out of touch with reality. All Fox analysts I've heard -- and also many on MSNBC and the BBC as well -- are contemptuous of the Taliban and say that the Taliban will start raping girls as soon as the Americans leave. They're also contemptuous of Biden for "cutting and running" and trusting the Taliban, in order to get a photo op on 9/11. So the truth is the exact opposite of what you're saying.
Actually, I was refering to Trump and his GOP acolytes who have started to praise the Taliban. More to follow, I'm sure.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
