Andrea Mitchell: The minute Trump started talking he got everyone pissed off.

His opening remarks critical of NATO payments, and even remarks critical of the new building ended up offending the european leaders.

Andrea called it a campaign speech and tone deaf.

This man is an incredible jackass.

Now talking about the refusal of allowing Sean Spicer, a religious Catholic, to meet with the Pope.

she is a barely understandable clod with the demeanor of a drunk mule to begin with.

But, even with that as her baseline, she spent the entire election with a dismissive, negative tone toward HRC, and simply is a long standing GOP ass licker.

There are plenty of them. Some of them are tightly aligned with Opus Dei, the ultimate authoritarian religious sect.

but as my Catechism nun told us in preparation of our First Confession (as her icy blue eyes bored into our 7 year old souls); "You can go to confession and you may fool the priest, but you cannot fool God."

and why don't Repugs admit Ayn Rand lived under her husband's name, collected Social Security and enrolled in Medicare for health services. Her contemporaries did not enroll and died penniless staying true to their cause.

Unfortunately for Spicer, he has been on trump's shit list since day one. So since he knew meeting the Pope would be a special event for Spicer, what better way to tweak his nose and let him know who is in charge? This is 100% like tRump to belittle Spicer and put him in his place. I didn't think I could loathe a man more than I loathe tRump, but every day I find myself surprised that there seems to be no TOP LEVEL of loathing.

or at least always had to get some shit in.

like how CNN could never do a negative piece on trump or a positive piece on clinton without just making sure people knew she was deeply flawed as if that was a fact.

because she couldn't run the risk of being called a commie pinko librul if by just reporting the facts the pukes would look bad.

So, she has to do the "fair and balanced, both sides do it and are equally bad" bullsh*t media dance that has greatly contributed to wrecking the nation.

I know from talking to casual acquaintances who are not politically astute that when they watch cable "news", they come away confused, uninformed, and believing that it's all just a big mess in which both sides are equally complicit. They are disgusted with both sides and don't believe me when I say there is in fact a BIG difference (if I can engage them in a discussion and bring up facts, that does help to get them thinking).

But that's the goal--that's what corp media ownership wants-- a confused, disengaged electorate. Mrs. Greenspan has been a willing accomplice in bringing about that sad state of affairs.
