Hysterical Media Headlines (Funny or Absurd) for August 22nd:
Bottom Line: These are your daily headlines brought to you by your friends in the Godless, soulless and slanderous news media...For my full commentary on these headlines click the audio below.
How Republicans Do the Bidding of White Supremacists Russ Feingold, The Guardian
Excerpt: The lesson from Charlottesville is not how dangerous the neo-Nazis are. It is the unmasking of the Republican party leadership. In the wake of last weekend’s horror and tragedy, let us finally, finally rip off the veneer that Trump’s affinity for white supremacy is distinct from the Republican agenda of voter suppression, renewed mass incarceration and the expulsion of immigrants.
Failing All Tests of the Presidency Charles Blow, New York Times Except, of course, that economic growth has improved, wages have improved and employment has improved. But then again when did having a good paying job in a growing economy matter? 😉
Democrats Need a Message, Not New Policies Al Hunt, Bloomberg What like the "Affordable Care Act"?
Trump's White Nationalist House Jonathan Chait, New York Magazine
Excerpt: Ronald Reagan’s story of the “strapping young buck” on food stamps, operated at a symbolic remove. Racism was the unmistakable subtext, but explicit white supremacy was politically verboten.
So now Ronald Reagan was a racist white supremacist too? Who's next Abe Lincoln? As long as we're working on revisionist history why not?
The material here is amazing and wonderful in it's absurdity simultaneously. Once again, if you look at these through the prism of Donald Trump being President, and more elected Republicans serving in the United States since the 1920's...it's pretty hilarious! The air of desperation, advocacy and instructions for their "resistance" is comical. These people really do take themselves completely seriously!
