MSM: The Freakout

MSNBC, Chris Matthews live at the Trump protest rally. Stay with it he says!

There'e Diego again, but wait, here's a new one. (I forget his name), The reporter asks him why he is protesting.

The young man replies, "Fuck Trump!"

The MSNBC crew totally went into OMG mode. WHY?

Is anyone else tired of sanitized news? We went to war and with few exceptions, saw no negative images of the reality of war.

The MSM is freaking out about the wrong things. One word and they go nuts. Grow the fuck up!

2. Saw Bernie in Vado

Went to see Bernie speak in a little town in southern New Mexico. Our daughter is 15 and really into Bernie and his politics. The biggest selling T-shirts at the rally were "Fuck Trump" shirts. Nobody was offended, children didn't break out masturbating and the adults didn't set anything on fire. It was a nice hot day and great to see all sorts of human critters sporting Fuck Trump shirts.

I've always tried to take our children to see candidates live. The plaza in Old Town Mesilla is the usual spot. Bush and Cheney were awful, and the announcer tried to get the crowd to chant "Viva la Bush". Everybody laughed. My son asked why? I told him the chant means we either want his wife or for Bush to come out wearing a dress. John Edwards was smooth and the crowd loved him. But the best we saw in Mesilla was by far - Joe Biden. He killed it. And then we saw Bernie in an Elementary School field in a tiny town and it was stunning. Vado for those who are interested became free black town in the post Civil War period. More people attended the rally than live in Vado.
