What's the skinny on Van JONES? The little I've seen rubs me wrong.

[UTUSN]

Over years, have been mostly all MSNBC despite sometimes calling them msRnc (in the G.E. days). Just thought CNN was a bit stodgy back before SHITLER started attacking them.

But about JONES, have had little exposure to him, but at the beginning of the OBAMA years I thought he had been hounded out viciously by the wingnuts. And I have barely looked at his product ever since, but have picked up bits where he has ragged on Dems and sometimes praised SHITLER.

So tonight, after about three hours of MSNBC in the background, yes with KONDRACHE being annoying, switched over to CNN and liked COOPER and AXELROD and those, yet JONES rubs me wrong even when he's not overtly antagonistic.

What's his ideological bent - "pragmatic"?!1

[Demonaut]

1. he's always been an ass, years ago he had a short ride of fame until his true self

came out, he leaves a bad taste in my mouth

[AlexSFCA]

2. he once praised trump

so he lost me. But he is just trying to make a living...

[UTUSN]

4. Well he can't "make a living" on my payroll!1

[Wabbajack_]

6. He was near in tears when Trump "won"

[SunSeeker]

3. He's a contrarian, as far as I can tell.

And yes, annoying.

[LenaBaby61]

5. He's a ....

Damn fool .....

End of story .....

[Bev54]

7. He is a both sides kind of guy

I don't listen to him anymore

[Jamastiene]

8. He was another one of those talking heads that called Trumps first speech after

w̶i̶n̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ being installed as president, "pivotal." He has waxed nostalgic for Republicans before. Reminds me a lot of Tweety that way. I know on my TV, if they like Republicans too much, I'm turning them off forever. He is one.

9. Fun fact: He was a friend of Prince.

They began #YesWeCode together to educate African American kids.

He’s an oddball but he’s done some good.

[mahina]

19. Right?

[mahina]

10. Really? I love that guy.

See if you can watch the video Carbon Nation

Here’s a clip

Please be aware that there has been a vigorous campaign to smear and me and him and take him down because the Republicans saw him as a threat which he was.

[UTUSN]

11. Well, good for any good done, but my outlook is that bad parts aren't cancelled out.

And the good is its own reward.

[mahina]

14. What's the bad?

Source please too so it’s not “some people are saying”

Hey if there’s real bad I’d like to know

And I’m sure if it’s just Fix news character assasination to keep a brother out of politics, you’d like to know too. Thank you

[UTUSN]

15. My impressions & opinions don't come from Faux or from parroting others.

My o.p. might tell you my "source" was myself. To spell it out again, the "bad" is his trashing Dems & praising SHITLER- sound familiar from the O.P.? I could go on repeating myself but just won't.

[mahina]

17. Cheers

It’s been wierd.

[UTUSN]

20. Bwah hahahahahaha HAH!1 - best sub-thread *EVER*!1

(Am only kicking with a response because the thread is near the top.)

[tenderfoot]

12. He's in it for the money.

eom

[mahina]

13. In what? Community organizing? Green jobs not jail?

Solar energy and good jobs in poor neighborhoods?

Yeah

[tenderfoot]

22. You forgot kissing Trumps ass and sucking up to Fascists

Today Donald Trump became President --Van Jones

[mahina]

23. I must've missed the ass kissing part but the man did become president very unfortunately

[tenderfoot]

24. You learn something new everyday

[OnDoutside]

16. Horrific judgement. Believes in the goodness of everyone, hence "Presidential" Trump.....

[bullwinkle428]

18. Card-carrying member of the "mediaocracy" party.

See what I did there?

[cwydro]

21. Can't stand him.

Never liked him, but after he praised tangeranus - I gave up on him for good.
