Van Jones is a goddamned, fucking IDIOT.

26. here is why Van Jones is wrong

Let's say that Trump by some bit of luck does one or two good things; sometimes people stumble into doing something. He still does not deserve praise, because , as Van should know more than anyone, it is the overall package that is being sold, and the empowerment of people with bad intent needs to be fought. If we start fawning over the man because he manages to not spend an hour makign an ass of himself, we shoot ourselves in the foot.

Considering the truly harsh standards he held Obama to, he should know better than to allow Trump a pass because he managed to avoid saying something stupid for a night, and certainly not allow Trump to use the dead widow as a shield.

It is one thing for some desperate unemployed person from Western Pennsylvania to swallow a Trump lie, and even they do not get a pass, Van Jones gets far less of one, as in NONE. If this, especially after Obama, is the low bar for becoming the "president", then frankly this is no longer a country worth the effort.
