I'm pissed at CNN for very different reasons. Today's headline from CNN ended up in one of the ads on a website I was browsing.

Ok, so the POTUS can't stop talking about your loving channel, day in and day out, and he's clearly, obviously guilty of treason and a variety of high crimes. So today you publish the real think piece, "With latest jabs, Trump-Obama relationship reaches historic nastiness"? What the ever loving gently caress, CNN.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
CNN desperately wants to return to normalcy (being garbage) but Trump's making it so hard for them to not do actual news coverage.

Local news channels are going to get a lot worse too since a further-right-than-fox corporation is trying to make acquisitions that'll give it control over something like 70-80% of every local news station in the country.

Y'know, I think Trump actually believes all of his bullshit, which is part of why he acts so idiotically.

Trump is a manly man who won the electoral college hugely all by himself, gently caress you CNN talking about Russian collusion!

To what extent that's narcissism or dementia, who knows.

My gut feeling is when this all shakes out, Trump will only tangentially have been involved with the Russians but because he's a petty grudge-bearing moron will throw most of his cronies under the bus with obstruction of justice.

Yeah but there is a reason one company can afford to buy them all:

http://www.journalism.org/2016/07/07/pathways-to-news/

But demographics speak to the fragility behind those TV numbers. While solid majorities of both those ages 50-64 (72%) and those 65+ (85%) often get news on TV, far smaller shares of younger adults do so (45% of those 30-49 and 27% of those 18-29). Alternatively, the two younger groups of adults are much more likely than older adults to turn to online platforms for news – 50% of 18- to 29-year-olds and 49% of those ages 30-49 often do so.

I really don't understand why Tillerson is still in that job. Clearly Trump doesn't care for him much, he's miserable in the job, and nobody tells him anything. Now he's basically below goddamn Jared Kushner, who has even less international policy experience than Tillerson does.

This is a little late, but Tillerson believes he was chosen by God. He wanted to retire and live out his days, but God chose him for one more task.

At least one day we're going to get a sick Coen brothers movie out of this administration. The end of his life is going to be spectacularly painful and gut-wrenching. Can you imagine walking into this administration even believing in a god in the first place, let alone believing that you have some divine purpose?

What I love the most about this chart is the spots that were whited out in the lower right hand corner. Anyone know where the original is so we can know what was there? Also, these numbers have no bearing in reality. Spending on medicaid in 2015 was $646 billion. Did he...did he MS-Paint a graph for the American People?


I'm having a brain fart staring at the Trump graph. What makes it wrong aside from the white out? Was medicaid scheduled to skyrocket or is the graph indicative of funds being shifted or what? Because I believe 538 over Trump when it comes to whether or not there's medicaid cuts. I can't tell whether the graph is a complete lie Trump pulled out of his rear end or if it's a misleading data trick. Can someone clear it up for me?

Where Tillerson is concerned, the frustration goes both ways. Many of his proposed nominees have been rejected by DeStefano’s Office of Presidential Personnel either because they are Democrats or because they are Republicans who were critical of Trump during the campaign.

the graph is just dollars - it's not adjusted for inflation, and it's not adjusted for population growth. factor those in and the picture changes So "medicaid spending continues to increase from today's spending under this bill" is true and misleading.
