get that OUT of my face posted:i dunno whose side to take: unfunny talk show host or screeching twitter moron who thinks every on-air miscue should be punished by cancellation. i think i'll just scream into my pillow instead and wait for the pain to go away Laugh at both sides. Bill Maher for thinking he could say that in 2017 without kicking up a giant firestorm and stupid blogger lady for thinking that Bill Maher is the Tim Wise of HBO instead of the crass shithead he's always been.

Bill Maher's thing was funny, the Trumphead thing was not, the only funny thing about the trumphead stuff was how many of the people handwringing with glee over his kid freaking out thinking it was real were the safe-space/trigger-warning social justicey types. I think it's pretty great that while Trump is being accused of being a Russian plant, so many of the people that turn up to "protest" him or his fans(or anyone they accuse of being fans) seem to be unironic (usually anarcho-)communists.

if you don't like watching a jimmy dore video, here's the medium article some person wrote about how ridiculous these journalists are: https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/establishment-loyalists-spent-yesterday-circulating-blatant-lies-about-glenn-greenwald-64a16a0ef6ed quote:It is from this insane, gibbering McCarthyist cacophony that these drooling troglodytes lurched to screenshot a single tweet out of the context of its thread and pass it around with the intention of deceiving their followers into thinking it meant the exact opposite of what Greenwald was saying. Many high-profile accounts with tens of thousands of followers shared this screenshot and have left it up, despite being corrected by their own followers. Political commentator Marcus H. Johnson for example, who smeared both Jill Stein and Nina Turner in a single tweet yesterday, retweeted multiple posts featuring this bald-faced lie, and made a few of his own to boot.

quote:What made this more than just your garden-variety smear campaign, however, was that Greenwald fought back. Hard. Not just with his usual approach of dropping a truth bomb or two and getting back to work; he kept pushing this thing into the light, over and over and over. this like a kid talking about noncanon super hero fights

I think the Russia thing is mostly hot air, but something that "stuck" because Trump is hated. After Trump beat Hillary in the primary IIRC per "Shattered", this was the official excuse used by the members of the Clinton team (along with "BERNIE BROS") to cleanse their hands of being beaten by a clown. Neoconservatives hate his rear end. Neoliberals hate his rear end. Neoconservatives hold a lot of power of in the GOP think tanks, CIA, etc. Neoliberals hold a lot of power in the media and (sadly) in the democratic side of the government. So we have to suffer through this poo poo because the Clintonites that run the Dems (and by proxy, the left) refuse to do some soul searching and think of policies to win in 2018, 2020. It's frustrating because there's so many other drat things they could attack his over, and they go with this pathetic poo poo.

every time i pass by a tv playing CNN it's almost always RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA. nothing about the Paris Accords, nothing about the budget that the NYC mayor said would "kill people" (his words), nothing about any actual policies trump helped pass or wants to get through it's not that there's nothing to it, but no sitting president has ever been successfully smeared as a traitor and it's not gonna start now

It plays well to the working class that DNC keeps giving the finger to. It's mostly horseshit and something that can be easily countered, offer alternatives to right now. Not only could you probably have a message that could play well with people concerned with the planet, but you could probably also have a message to play well to those who the DNC once had in their pocket.

"It's a big club and we ain't in it". All those guys rocking the blue checkmarks. The think tank types, Peter Daou's and others? They have no interest in hearing people (supposedly) from their side suggesting ideas that would be from outside of their own sort of club. They feel more comfortable with people like Louise Mensch, Evan McMullin's and Glenn Beck's of the world. These are people they'd rather rub shoulders with than someone like Cornell West, Tulsi Gabbard or anyone outside of their view of the world. They don't want to hear it. This is what they want. They don't care about ending wars, actually helping the enviorment, and various other traditional causes. They want cosmetic change. A president that talks nice, pretends to care about minorities, while the poor continue to get hosed over. All of this while talking about Harry Potter while Beyonce plays in the background.

The easiest way to tell the Russia stuff is nonsense is that in the Quist campaign they were trying to paint Gianforte as a secret russian plant because he had 250k invested in Gazprom. Hes a multibillionaire and probably has a massive share portfolio so 250k in a petro company would hardly even be noticed. Hes also a carpetbagging scumbag who hates everyone and wants them to die so there were so many actually useful lines of attack wasting breath on 'rich person has a varied stock portfolio' was dumb as poo poo.
