Daily NPR update: John Kelly was on this morning complaining that Mexican immigrants have no skills and don't "assimilate". No pushback from the host whatsoever.

5/11/2018 1:19:15 PM

fuck those in the media fawning over that stupid Yanny v. Laurel video they put out

my favorite was when he lambasted OR for not endorsing doug jones or conor lamb

5/22/2018 4:30:41 PM

Whoever lambasted him for that is an idiot. He’d be toxic in a race like that. FFS, they are basically blue dog democrats.

Something about wrestling with pigs....

Though I do like that the balancing examples to Trump's "coarse discourse" are De Niro, Griffin, Peter fucking Fonda, and some random protestors outside a Trump rally. As if any of those people are remotely equivalent to the influence of being President or leader of a major political party.

Peter Fonda bragged about having his grand kids shoot Obama a few years ago too. Maybe he’s just a dick.

The @TIME cover story blowing up reinforces everything Trump has said:
*Fake News: She wasn't separated
*Not a first time crosser
*Claiming asylum when it doesn't apply
*Photos in media don't show the reality
*Put child in danger
*Treating him differently than Obama

Prove me wrong

"We nonetheless would argue that Ms. Huckabee, and Ms. Nielsen and Mr. Miller, too, should be allowed to eat dinner in peace. Those who are insisting that we are in a special moment justifying incivility should think for a moment how many Americans might find their own special moment. How hard is it to imagine, for example, people who strongly believe that abortion is murder deciding that judges or other officials who protect abortion rights should not be able to live peaceably with their families? Down that road lies a world in which only the most zealous sign up for public service. That benefits no one."

Counterpoint: Huckabee, Nielsen, and Miller should all be shamed at every opportunity, and so should the WaPo editorial board.

6/25/2018 12:10:04 PM

The idea that we should feel bad because Stephen Fucking Miller can’t enjoy a peaceful meal at an upscale Mexican restaurant before having his driver drop him off at his 1.5 million $ condo is.... an interesting opinion.

6/25/2018 12:30:51 PM

His wealth isn't even the problem. He's a fucking racist, masterminding racist policies and putting Hispanic lives in danger. In a just society, he'd be expelled from the entire country.

And the point about abortion is hilarious. If a restaurant asked me to leave because I'm pro-choice, I would be glad they did.

The fuq? That's not hard to imagine at all. Its literally the god damn world we live in. Abortion doctors rotate their parking spots on a daily basis, private security has to buzz you into the local womens clinic, and there is a trail of disgusting graffiti, arson, and assassinated doctors.

What fucking planet do these people live on?

6/25/2018 12:59:19 PM

And this is the fucking editorial board! Media is owned by the rich and protects the rich. Are we all on board yet?

I don't have any (legal) problem with kicking out people of your restaurant that you don't like/agree with.

Just curious - would you have a problem if I ran a restaurant and kicked out known/public facing Democrats, or would you say that, while distasteful, that should be allowed?

Or is this time different because Trump is Hitler?

NPR had the Charlottesville organizer on this morning talking about Charles Murray, bone density, and IQ between races. Kept talking about how "it's science" that white people are smarter than black people, and if you don't agree you're going against science. This racist shithead shouldn't have been on the show to begin with, but there are a bunch of different ways to argue against him and all the host had to say was "Charles Murray, really?"

Liberals are the fucking worst

why does the media keep reporting administration leaks, do they not care they keep getting lied to?

9/24/2018 1:14:45 PM

That sweet access is to hard to pass up.

How else will they be privy to Ivanka’s disappointment?

Quote :

"Gabe Sherman reports that the Rosenstein leak appears to have been a "smoke bomb" to knock Kavanaugh out of the news. “The strategy was to try and do something really big,” said a source familiar with Trump's thinking."

I don’t get the thinking here... neither firing Rosenstein or getting Kavanaugh appointed helps trump electorally.

The main outcome seems that if trump does fire rosenstein/Mueller, it will make the initial response a little dull.

Sort of like how terrorists make prisoners act out their heads getting cut off dozens of times so they’re calm when it actually happens unexpectedly for real.

9/24/2018 1:51:15 PM

But now they can say the media was reporting #fakenews

9/24/2018 3:13:31 PM

does this mean Rosenstein was in on the smokebomb scheme and is buddy-buddy enough with Trump to go along with it, or was he just along for the ride?

9/24/2018 4:33:44 PM

how are you so dumb?

9/24/2018 4:39:13 PM

Funny how the meeting with Rosenstein is on the same day as the Kavanaugh/Ford hearing. YUUUUGE coincidence, I'm sure.

9/24/2018 8:31:54 PM

^^answer the question.

9/25/2018 9:24:28 AM

i'm guessing drugs? i don't know, you tell me

9/25/2018 10:49:53 AM

you're the one blabbering about how Trump is itching to fire Rosenstein in another thread, only to come in here and say that it's all a big orchestrated distraction from the Kavanaugh hearing. So I'm asking you, which is it? Is Rosenstein playing up the firing/resignation banter to distract from Kavanaugh, or is Rosenstein actually in jeopardy of being canned by Trump? Is he part of the Trump machine, or is he part of the resistance?

9/25/2018 12:26:08 PM

Rosenstein is not, and never has been part of the resistance, but that also doesn't mean Trump likes him. He probably wants Trump to like him and he probably likes Trump seeing as he's a Republican working in this admin and no one is forcing him to do this job.

The fact that Rosenstein is doing the most bare minimum of public service by not impugning Mueller doesn't make Rosenstein anti-Trump or pro-Resistance. Rosenstein has had some other questionably corrupt actions of his own.

Trump is just a terrible leader who treats the people under him like garbage, that's the only consistent motif of this administration.

either or both

why do you think rosenstein is involved in coordinating with trump? that doesn't make sense.

Quote :

neither

is drugs why you're dumb?

I've never thought Rosenstein was anywhere close to anti-Trump. If anything, I think he's been in cahoots with Trump ever since he wrote the letter recommending terminating Comey. All this babble about Rosenstein wearing a wire and being anti-Trump seemed like more of the same "Trump hates Sessions" babble that always seems to get drummed up whenever the Trump administration needs a distraction. And apparently it works incredibly well too, as dtownral just illustrated with his post above where he's bought into the Rosenstein is skating on thin ice hysteria completely.
