Hysterical Media Headlines (Funny or Absurd) for August 31st:
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.
Why Trump's Arpaio Pardon Is So Terrifying Bridgette Dunlap, Rolling Stone
Excerpt: Before he was voted out of office, ending his 24-year reign of terror, former Sheriff Joe Arpaio committed serial violations of the constitutional rights of Arizonans, but largely avoided being held personally accountable.
So now if we're to follow the logic for a moment. Joe Arpaio is a terrorist of 24 years. Radial Islam isn't. I'm reminded of the 80's your brain on drugs commercials with the eggs in the frying pan. I feel like we should have a 2017 update to the commercial. The follow up would be...these people didn't listen (in this case the Rolling Stone peeps). Any questions?
Harvey Is What Climate Change Looks Like Eric Holthaus, Politico
Excerpt: Climate scientist Kevin Trenberth thinks that as much as 30 percent of the rainfall from Harvey is attributable to human-caused global warming.
Well shoot if Kevin Trenberth? has spoken it's all settled. Btw, does that mean that we should kill all of the flatulating cows immediately, or should we let the cows go free but just stop populating ourselves. Although, one dead cow does account for as much gas as several humans. So what's a considerate person to do? Btw, not to introduce facts into an absurd argument but the United States actually produced more air and water pollution in the 1920's during the industrial revolution than we do today. So why weren't the storms much worse then than today? Also the minimum three mass extinction events that Earth has experienced...Was that due to mass dinosaur flatulence? Did we have an ice age because we lacked dinosaur and human flatulence.
- Why Colin Kapernick belongs on the Pittsburgh Steelers - Real Clear Politics
Excerpt: If you’ve been following the developing Colin Kaepernick story like I have, you’ll know that it’s anything but cut and dry.
Only a hang wringing leftist apologist could take the most simple of concepts and complicate it. Because apparently some in the media struggle with basic concepts I'll assist. People watch football for entertainment not politics. When a player makes himself into a political statement and movement, it's not only incredibly selfish, it's actually the absolute antithesis of why people tune in. Any questions? But lucky you Steeler's fans. You've got one of your own that wishes that bigot on your team. Good luck!
- Trump's hope for 3% growth no longer looks so far-fetched - CNBC
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!
