As a teenager in Minneapolis in the early 1960s, back when local television stations broadcast live pro-wrestling matches, my pals and I would bicycle down to a local station that offered free tickets for a studio audience on its Saturday Night Wrestling show. Quite often, since it was free and something to do on a Saturday night. We were a bunch of cheeky smart alecks there to laugh at them. But we quickly got it that the rest of the audience and the wrestlers themselves got it, too. Everything was taking place with a giant wink.
And that gave us permission to act out our parts in the drama with enthusiasm, screaming at the designated villain, jumping up and threatening to run at the ring to attack. All play, mimicking terrible tantrums, but permitted because it was a wink and a nod. It was kind of therapeutic, this permission to act out primitive urges in public, I guess. But it was also making fun of the people that made fun of wrestling fans.
And CNN – despite being in the entertainment business -- understands none of this. They have just, in fact, stepped even deeper into the trap Trump baited with the video. Piecing together accounts from CNN, HuffPost, Vox, the New York Daily News, and Sundance of Conservative Treehouse, once the White House tweeted the video, a person who posts under the pseudonym “HanA**holeSolo” on Reddit identified the account as the source of the photshopping of the CNN image. It was actually a gif moving image, posted last Wednesday, that superimposed the CNN logo on Vince McMahon’s body. (The White House has issued a denial that Reddit was source.) But once HanA**Hole identified himself, his post on Redddit was noticed and publicized on Twitter by journalist Jared Yates Sexton:

CNN is down for the count.
Just put CNN on the shovel-bearer’s head, and you’ve got a new meme!
No sense of humor! In America I’m not sure that is forgivable
I hope that guy on the ground deftly rolls out of the way. Otherwise, it’s gonna hurt (for real).
It is astounding how badly that silly GIF appears to have been received by people who are supposed to know better, and even more astounding that the response should have been open blackmail. It isn't at all surprising that CNN is now both trying to cover it up and spinning it as a mighty victory over a 15-year-old nuisance poster, but it's a really, really stupid war to start and that fact they can't spin or delete.
Lol!
That is hilarious.
CNN is a worthless piece of trash.
Main Street Media is painting itself into a corner from which it will not be able to escape. The public is increasingly aware that these elitists are enemies of American patriots.
When George Washington, the wealthiest man in the colonies, left his estates and led a ragtag army against the most powerful army in the world, he laid the foundation for the next man who would bring this country back from the brink of destruction. More than half of the colonialists opposed Washington. They were the globalists of today.
Trump is perfectly clear that he is the Commander in Chief of an army that MUST defeat the corrupt elitists who have been in control of our government for nearly 100 years. This is a war that must be won, just as the war with England had to be won.
Washington was driven by an idea, sovreignty, the right of people to govern their own affairs. Trump fights for nothing less. He MUST be victorious if we are to survive as a free people.
That is one of the funniest gifs I have ever seen!
Well, to the extent that guy represents the Lying left, I hope it does hurt for real. :)
It's like clubbing baby seals.
Yup. That makes George Washington's feats even more impressive. Only ten percent of the colonialists were hard-core supporters of the revolutionaries. Another ten percent were hard-core supporters of the King. Many of the rest said don't rock the boat, let things be as they were. Trump may be our present-day Washington, trying to restore the rights of American citizens to govern their own affairs against an oppressive regime. So far, there's no wide-spread fighting to the death but give it time, as long as groups like CNN are around.
