Reports of CNN becoming more centrist and less opinionated just got body-checked by a wisecrack from Anderson Cooper on Monday. (Watch the video below.)
The “Anderson Cooper 360” anchor made a wild comparison after Donald Trump called for terminating parts of the Constitution and to perhaps be reinstalled as president.
On the show, Democratic strategist David Axelrod remarked that Republicans still fear denouncing Trump and the potential repercussions from his base. This prompted Cooper to say: “It is like having a drunk relative who yells out obscenities or incredibly inappropriate things, and you don’t know what to do about him and so people just ignore him. Soon he’ll be wandering around with an onion tied to his belt, talking about [how] movies used to cost a nickel.”
Cooper added with a laugh: “There’s no question there. I just felt I wanted to say that.”
First, funny. Second, props to Cooper for the “Simpsons” onion-belt reference.
His comments came days after leaked company documents showed Twitter executives discussing how to handle a New York Post story about a laptop owned by Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son. Some Republicans believe that the computer contained damaging information about Joe Biden and that Twitter censored the report on its platform ahead of the 2020 election.
Trump used the reportedly overhyped disclosure to launch yet another baseless tirade about the contest being stolen from him that year.
“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” the former president wrote online Monday.

LONDON (Reuters) -Britain set out a raft of measures on Friday to bolster the City of London's role as a global financial centre, under strain since Brexit ushered in new competition from Amsterdam, Paris and Frankfurt. The planned reforms also include a review of rules put in place following the financial crisis over a decade ago to make bankers accountable for their decisions and easing capital requirements for smaller lenders, after much lobbying by banks. Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt said it would be wrong to describe the 30 measures as a "Big Bang" – a reference to deregulating the stock market in the 1980s – that will unravel tougher rules introduced after the global financial crisis.

For most Americans, Social Security doesn't just provide "some check" they'll receive after they retire. According to national pollster Gallup, Social Security supplies a source of income retirees deem necessary to make ends meet. Although Social Security is the U.S.'s most successful retirement program, having provided retired workers with benefits for 82 years (and counting), it's on shaky ground.
