Hysterical Media Headlines (Funny or Absurd) for September 21st:
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.
Wiretaps May Prove Trump Right--and That's Terrifying Michael Goodwin, NY Post
Don't Look Now, But Trump's Strategy Is Beating ISIS Paul Mulshine, NJ Star-Ledger
Will Trump's 'Rocket Man' Speech Lead Us to War? Doyle McManus, LA Times
Excerpt: Ridiculing Kim Jong Un is "more likely to persuade North Korea to increase its nuclear weapons and missiles than limit them [or] give them up,” warned Richard Haass of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Successful diplomatic negotiators usually take pains to treat their adversaries with respect and provide them a dignified way to retreat from their original positions. That often means offering positive incentives as well as threats, carrots as well as sticks.
And these people at the LA Times are supposed to be intelligent thoughtful people right? Someone who kills off hundreds of his political adversaries, including family members is one who can be reasoned with under typical diplomatic negotiations? Someone who jailed for over a year and eventually killed an American for keeping a propaganda poster of his likeness is reasonable correct? Someone who invites Dennis Rodman over to party (sorry Carmen Electra)...And btw, since he's so reasonable and Obama was so brilliant why are we having this conversation. If the nickname "Rocket Man" is the difference between nuclear war and diplomatic relations what does that suggest about the premise of your absurd narrative?
There's No Crisis of Free Speech David Shariatmadari, The Guardian
Excerpt: If you’re curious as to what a basket of deplorables looks like in real life, perhaps you should head over to Berkeley next week, where Steve Bannon, Milo Yiannopoulos, Ann Coulter and friends will gather for a “festival of free expression” at the University of California campus. Maybe they’ll oblige by arriving in a hot air balloon, to render the metaphor entirely literal.
That's just kind of awesome.
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 people really do take themselves completely seriously!
