On Friday's weekly roundup on the PBS Newshour, after analyst David Brooks said the Trump White House has a "perpetual unraveling" of staff, liberal analyst Mark Shields compared it to people trying to escape the Berlin Wall, where escapees were often killed by communist guards. "This White House is resembling nothing as much as East Berlin, in that there's more people trying to get out than there are trying to get in."
The subject was the resignation of White House staff secretary after two ex-wives accused him of domestic abuse. Brooks took a shot at chief of staff John Kelly: "We have learned a couple things about Kelly.He had the earlier comment that some of the DACA people ["Dreamers"] were lazy. And then he but the guy who allegedly beats his wife is honorable. I mean, thats a contrast." He added "theres just always this thing of perpetual unraveling and the cycling through of staff at this White House."

Very interesting stories. I was in Switzerland when the Wall came down. I knew people with family on the East. There were a lot of suicides among the young. They felt they had lived a lie their whole life.
I think about them when I think about the people of North Korea.
Then I think for a minute about the people here in Hollywood who are almost as brainwashed. Everything they believe in is a lie too.
This includes
Did Nothing But Partisan BS ever attack Obama over the genuine Communists in his adminstration?
Thank you for yours as well FRiend.
The UN’s since largest voting block is the OIC, Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
Of Muslims and marxists. Rules for radicals was dedicated to Satan. Its Satan that gave mohammet the message.
Thusly, it’s very easy for them to be “brothers in arms”, a string of pirates full of bloodlust, raiding raping and murdering , defining success , achievement, and profit by piracy.
Only one problem, once they have oppressed the whole world,
who is left to steal from????
Just food for thought.
This is what Obama was bringing to America with Hillary Clinton.
Didn’t know that leftwing fossil Shields was still around.
East Berlin no longer exists, so why doesn’t he visit Havana & report on the glorious achievements of communism there?
TDS results in some truly bizarre manifestations.
Brooks and Shield are dumb and dumber.
I think that more properly describes Illinois. What says the @ssclown to that?
I hope a good conservative writer compares PBS/NPR and MSM to communist Russias and Nazi Germanys propaganda organs. Easy to do.
So, I'm wondering, David Brooks, just when did you stop beating your wife?
PBS is no more than a propaganda wing for commies, RATS, socialist, libs. It is unbelievable that the pubbies still don’t have the cajones to get them off government handouts.
David Brooks is and has always been an idiot.....pass it on, yo.
The “East German” analogy is so totally false, that NPR should publicly apologize.
“The subject was the resignation of White House staff secretary after two ex-wives accused him of domestic abuse”
The subject was not folks “trying to get out”. It was folks told to resign and leave, and - if the allegations are true, for good reason. That is so opposite of decent folks in East Germany who were trying to escape. In fact, Mark Shields comment is a form of slander against them, as if, by his analogy, those attempting to escape East Germany were no better than someone caught morally “with their pants down”.
OK by me!

Brooks and others like him are filth.

Or, maybe they should have learned to deal with the oppression and just suck it up an embrace living under commie rule. Yeah, sure.
I didn’t think that it could happen, but PBS appears to have moved further left.
AM1030 (which is supposed to be news) has as well. Both are unlistenable.
I just listen to sports now and even that is dicey.
The Bush League Republicans have been cooperating with them to make US part of the New World Order that Poppy Bush mentioned.
The illegal alien inundation was intentional.
Trump broke through the Bush blockade at the RNC to get elected, but they still control most of the GOP and its associated media mouthpieces.
