kairos12's JournalI have resigned myself to horse race coverage for 2016
It's quite apparent that Drump's antics drive ratings and income for the media. Therefore, they will never call him out for the dangerous lunatic he is. False equivalency will reign and the grinning idiot pundits will discuss the "horse race" in order to line their network's pockets.
I used to get
unsolicited mail for mattresses and gym memberships. Now I get a letter sent to me from the American Legion advising me of my...
burial benefits.
I think I will reread Poe's "The Premature Burial."
tRump/Randian Ryan "Munich" Conference
Two clowns meet up to divide up the rethug electorate:
R: I get the Bundy vote.
T: Wait, that divides my White Pride vote. I need them.
R: Yes, but I want the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" (without the bootstraps) block.
T: Well, I want all the science deniers.
R: Ok, but I keep the anti-vaxers. That will be huge.
T: Well, I need the straight out racists and people who want to put women in jail for making their own decisions about their body.
All I can say is: We have two Pieces of Shit in our time.
Saw The Temptations on Saturday night.
Such iconic music. Got to shake their hands. It was a great experience.
For one night the world was not a Ball of Confusion. This song was way ahead of its time.
Both Sides Do It Crapalooza
Now that tRump has been sanctified by the Rethugs get ready for the media to find ways not to call him out for his outrageous views. Rather, the media will find any statement from the Democratic Candidate, no matter who it is, straying from the perceived mainstream to be equal to any of tRumps outlandish statements.
On your mark, get set, retch.
Now that Carnival Cruz has left the scene I've noticed his followers in the media looking
bewildered and lost. I call them The Walking Ted.
"Liberal Media" NBC Nightly News Broadcasts Entire Show from tRump Tower
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/05/business/media/nbc-relocates-nightly-news-to-trump-tower.html?_r=0snip:
In an unusual move on Wednesday, NBC relocated its flagship “Nightly News” broadcast six blocks north to Trump Tower, where Lester Holt conducted a live interview with Mr. Trump in his 26th-floor executive office.
Mr. Holt anchored the rest of the broadcast from the building’s gold-and-marble lobby— a signature Trump tableau — introducing segments about a Canadian wildfire and defective airbags as tourists milled behind him.
NBC plans to extend the same offer of broadcasting “Nightly News” from the home or headquarters of the eventual Democratic nominee, a network spokesman said Wednesday night.
News anchors frequently interview presidential candidates in their homes or campaign offices. Earlier Wednesday, Wolf Blitzer taped a conversation with Mr. Trump in the downstairs bar of the Trump Tower atrium, which was broadcast later in the day on CNN.
But few in the industry could recount another instance where an evening newscast — considered the symbol of a network news brand — shifted its entire broadcast to a candidate’s home turf.
I figure the other networks will be relocating to tRump Tower sometime soon.
Observation: Drivers with Dogs in the their laps
I love dogs. I saw today a person driving with a smallish dog in her lap. I figure with all the news about airbags injuring and killing people these days pet owners would be more protective of their animals. Maybe it's a case of it won't happen to me so never mind.
Benghazi Panel Now Wants to Hear Testimony from Hannity Radio Caller
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/benghazi-committee-witness_us_5723a578e4b0b49df6ab3c70snip
One example of the committee’s problematic requests is “John from Iowa.”
“John from Iowa” called into the radio show of conservative host Sean Hannity in May 2013. He claimed he was a drone camera operator who saw what happened in Benghazi on the night of the attacks. He also complained that neither Congress nor the administration had interviewed him.
Hedger said the Defense Department “expended significant resources to locate anyone who might match the description of this person, to no avail.” But then committee staff expanded their request for officials to find all drone pilots and sensor operators who operated in the region that night — a search Hedger called “time-intensive,” to say the least.
To find this "drone pilot" they would have to send FBI agents into every basement in the U.S. where dwells the fervent Rethug radio listeners who are frantically redialing their Reich Wing heros with Cheetos dust encrusted fingertips.
John Boehner Thinks Ted Cruz Is ‘Lucifer’ And A ‘Miserable Son Of A Bitch’
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/john-boehner-ted-cruz-lucifer_us_5722034be4b0f309baefce9esnip:
The former House speaker sat down for an interview at Stanford University on Wednesday where he discussed his previous job and the 2016 election. When asked about his thoughts on the Texas senator vying for the GOP presidential nomination, Boehner made a face and let it fly.
“Lucifer in the flesh,” the former speaker said of Cruz, according to The Stanford Daily. “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”
For once, the Orange Man has smoking coming out of his ears, not his mouth.
