He was fired a year or so ago after going into rehab for pain pill addiction after back surgery. He was with CNN during the election. They hired him back this year so future Press Secretary Guilfoyle could mock his health on TV on a daily basis.

Oh boy in a surprise to no one Scott Adams is a proponent of Neuro Linguistic Programming. This is in the same vein as Trump's repeated usage of the word "great" being a brilliant anchor to program the voters.

The above doesn't have nearly enough quotation marks to convey my level of sarcasm.

From least to most crazy at this moment in time:


Red State's top story is After Trump’s Overshare With Russian Officials, Israeli Intelligence SNAPPED and contains gems such as "Probably the most egregious detail was that President Loose Lips also gave the location of the undercover operative that was providing the U.S. with intelligence on ISIS’ moves in Syria." Actually not bad.

NattyReview is punting and covering Cornell suicide.

Meanwhile on Drudge :laugh:



Infowars is focused on finding the leakers which at this point I just assume is all of them.

Breitbart is trying to discredit MSM with some unverified sources mock outrage.

TheBlaze is covering some rant from Rush about a shadow coup. How can it be a loving shadow coup if they're speculating impeachment on the nightly news?

Morning update: Trump's Middle East trip is already a success. Despite anything else that happens, I can tell you the fact that Melania and Ivanka Trump didn't wear headscarves in Riyadh, and Trump didn't bow like Obama did means that that's going to be The Thing you'll be seeing all day from RWM until he tells the Saudis to knock it off with the :siren: RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM :siren: while securing a $109 billion deal to sell the Saudis weapons they can use to kill Yemeni Shiites.

I guess I can't blame 'em. They sort of need something positive to cling to, since the mainstream stuff about his trip makes him look like a loving toddler.

quote:

After four months of interactions between Mr. Trump and his counterparts, foreign officials and their Washington consultants say certain rules have emerged: Keep it short — no 30-minute monologue for a 30-second attention span. Do not assume he knows the history of the country or its major points of contention. Compliment him on his Electoral College victory. Contrast him favorably with President Barack Obama. Do not get hung up on whatever was said during the campaign. Stay in regular touch. Do not go in with a shopping list but bring some sort of deal he can call a victory.

For any parents who may be reading this: Donald Trump is President Caillou.

Matt Walsh on facebook posted:

They tore down a Robert E Lee statue in New Orleans last night. I'm sorry, this is madness. General Lee was opposed to slavery. He called it a "moral evil." He never purchased a single slave and the slaves he inherited from his father-in-law, he freed. Which is more than can be said for the numerous Union generals who owned slaves. General Lee was also opposed to secession. He was offered the job commanding the Northern Army, but he declined because, as a Virginian, he could not bring himself to march an army against his home and his sons. Tell me: would you do differently? Would you take up arms against your family? Is that such a simple choice? Can you really not appreciate the complexity of the situation that General Lee faced?

General Lee was widely respected on both sides. Read the accounts of his surrender at Appomattox to understand just how highly regarded he was by the men who actually did the fighting. He was one of the greatest Generals this country ever produced, and he was a man of honor and dignity. General Grant recognized that, his soldiers recognized that, Lincoln recognized it, yet we today, in modern times, cast him aside as a racist and a traitor. Disgraceful.

We can talk about the political causes of the Civil War, but it cannot be disputed that the men who actually fought did so to protect their countries. Southerners considered their states to be their countries first. We may not understand that nowadays, but sometimes a bit of historical perspective is necessary. You know, the same historical perspective we afford to the slave-owning Founders, such as Jefferson, who not only owned slaves but desecrated the Bible and created his own. Yet we put these evils aside and build monuments to him. Can we not then put the Civil War in context and allow a great man like Robert E Lee to be remembered and honored, as both his compatriots and his enemies honored him?

One last note to those conservatives who celebrate the destruction of Confederate monuments. Mark my words: they will come for the slave-owning Founders next. And what will you say then?

Can we not appreciate the difficult decision Lee faced? Is it not disgraceful for us to judge him a traitor, simply because he lead the armies of a traiterous rebellion? Is there no room in our hearts for compassion?

BTW liberals are evil and abortion doctors should be shot.

For the GOP, compassion and nuance are to only be used on wealthy slave-owners who turned traitor against their country.

Lee's story is pretty neat, in terms of the poo poo he went through during the pre and post civil war periods. He did a lot for reintegration of the north and south after the war iirc and talked a lot of southern army dudes out of going geurilla.

I can really understand not fighting against Virginia as a general, but instead couldn't he just abstain from fighting at all? I mean just be a slave freeing farmer. How many American soldiers did his tactical mind kill?

The incoherence of the critiques is manifest on both sides. The USA has a traitorous slave-owning general on its $1 bill. Tipi Sultan was "on the losing side" does that mean we shouldn't esteem him because we lol he a loser?

Unwillingness to honestly engage with this means you can't come back at a Matt Walsh and say, yeah maybe we can also critique Jefferson and Washington.

Guys, guys, guys…I have the best idea. What if we depict both presidential candidates as equally bad?? Then it looks like we're making a bold political statement, when we're actually just uninformed cowards too chickenshit to say anything controversial, especially when it could expose our ignorance!

Fox News is crazy but like I don't think they're crazy enough to run with a Hillary Clinton murder conspiracy that the police have already debunked and the parents of the victim are outraged that their son is being used for ratings and politics. Sean Hannity is crazy and evil enough to spend the next 6 months on it, but like the majority of Fox News will just keep pretending he doesn't exist.

Although now that primetime is Tucker, The Five, and Hannity that's a lot of shameless, evil, crazy in the prime slots. But I wouldn't be surprised if we see this ratings turn continue if they try and ride this one.

Its a weird thing to say but O'Reilly and Kelly kept the Fox News Primetime relatively grounded.
