Fox News and the entire GOP is so terrified of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's success that they are mocking him for asking New Yorkers to be careful with their thermostats during an extreme heat wave. This is the same advice Trump's Energy Department has suggested as well.

Not only do they look foolish, but they appear desperate in their efforts to smear and ridicule a popular political rival.

This morning on Fox and Friends, the three co-hosts were beside themselves that the mayor of New York City would ask residents to turn the thermostat higher to conserve energy so that there aren't any blackouts during this massive heat wave.

Its just another way of Fox saying that they consider their base to be nothing more than People of the Earth.

Good thing Trump sat on a black towel when he appeared on this couch or she'd have a brown racing stripe on her dress.

Capitalism is when people die of preventable causes, such as dying from heat exposure or complications from it, because allowing them the resources to cool their houses (that they likely don't own and are privileged to have at all) is communism.

Luckily fox news isn't real news. so therefore we can ignore their crayon munching commentary

A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of reasonable room temperature. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Putin, Merz and Macron, French Radicals and German police-spies.

Putin, Merz and Macron, French Radicals and German police-spies.

One of these is NOT well-liked by any of the others, and another openly hates all the others 😄
