I just applied Alinsky Rule #5.

The smartest people in the room are the stupidest.

They deserve ridicule.

CBS should be embarrassed that this crap aired. But they are not. It is the point of the show to air this crap.

And just how did Obambi’s “look like America” Cabinet and appointments work out? How differently do you think HilLIAR’s ‘look like America” choices would have been?

Give me Generals and CEOs over incompetent non meritorious “affirmative action” hires ANY day

I knew that the lamestreams were going to fight Trump using the old leftist canards, #1 of which is the parade of victims once Republicans begin implementing the Consitution. Happens every time; and this See B.S. piece is the opening salvo.

My New Year’s prayer is that such shady journalism will gain no more traction than their crooked efforts during the campaign to prosecute their war on Trump via their Trump-is-temperamentally-unfit-for-office gambits.

He just kept getting stronger in spite of it; and I pray that will be true for the next 8 years.

I prefer to see them relegated to the dust bin of history, and a soon forgotten memory. That way they are not there to affect people who are not smart enough to realize their stupidity.

I read this entire transcript and the words of my Grand Father came into my mind when I was a young boy. “Never try to analyze insanity”.

Extraordinary complex business?

The press is irrelevant more and more each day.

The complex business that obama managed? He doubled the deficit. He spent more money than the previous 44 administrations combined!! And what did he do with that revenue? What is coplex about that The only thing complex he ever did was manage to get his family on $86,000,000.00 worth of vacation on a $426,000.00 salary

And these people want to say hillary could have managed this complex business??!!! She has done nothing in her adult life but run confidence games

The press will be totally irrelevant in two years. What happens next will be so complex and so quick it’ll curl their hair

The American national Media are become "Bahgdad Bob."

They will spend the next eight years trying to convince us that what we are seeing isn't real leadership. Trying to convince us that we aren't experiencing exploding job growth, and financial stability.

They will insist that becoming the world's leading exporter of fossil fuels is a "bad idea," and that the more than $40-Trillion in new wealth thus-generated won't help every living American for the next 50 years.

But we'll know better.

It is incredible what it takes to make this kind of insanity. For instance the wiki bio of David Frum:

a Canadian-American neoconservative[3] political commentator. A speechwriter for President George W. Bush, Frum later became the author of the first "insider" book about the Bush presidency.[4] He is a senior editor at The Atlantic and also a CNN contributor.

graduated from the University of Toronto Schools in 1978 where he was the school captain. At Yale University, he simultaneously earned Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in history, graduating in 1982. He was in Directed Studies, a type of "Great Books" curriculum. Frum earned his Juris Doctor (J.D.) at Harvard Law School in 1987.

Frum's first book, Dead Right, was released in 1994. It "expressed intense dissatisfaction with supply-siders, evangelicals, and nearly all Republican politicians." Frank Rich of the New York Times described it as "the smartest book written from the inside about the American conservative movement," William F. Buckley, Jr. found it "the most refreshing ideological experience in a generation

How did someone so smart get to be so stupid? The problem is that he thinks that the way you learn to govern is to go to the right schools and argue position papers with the right people.

The guy never DID anything in his life. Build a high rise building in NY and on a budget and schedule and location and tenancy structure that you make lots of money and have lots of happy tenants? Or run Exxon? Or run the USMC?

"...I read this entire transcript and the words of my Grand Father came into my mind..."

You reminded me of the many times my Grandfather told me, "Remember to turn out the lights, Billy. I gonna go upstairs and bang your Grandma."

Anyone who places the slightest credence in anything said by any of these Marxist-inspired, anti-American hacks should have his or her head examined.

“These flacks of the Ministry of Propaganda are going to be flabbergasted when the Trump administration runs right over them and the Democrats when they hit the ground running.”

Indeed, but what I can’t figure out is if the fake stream media truly believes that President Trump will be “completely ineffective because “he has not experience governing” because they learned absolutely nothing during this election and are still living in such an isolated bubble in some other universe, or if they all of that is completely BS and are simply whistling past the graveyard of a spectacular Trump Presidency.

Either way, though, it’s more fake news.

And this surprises you? What surprises me is that anyone watches them instead of turning them off. As long as they still get ratings there is no incentive to change.

Stop watching them and giving them tacit support. If enough follow suit then they will be come like the Democrat Party, in a world of hurt.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Exactly so, and every one of them should be challenged, contradicted, and ridiculed at every opportunity.

real leadership

Well they did not know what real leadership looked like in Lincoln's day and about every bad thing that could be said about someone was said about Grant. But Grant's effort to raced around Lee's forces to cut off his retreat from Petersburg at Appomatix was the height of generalship.

Revisionists even now try to claim that Grant was nothing but a butcher.

I prefer to apply Alinsky Rule #5 “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. ”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I just posted that advice in response to another post. Ridicule them individually at every opportunity. I personally prefer to dismiss the blathering of these idiots and those who agree with them with a word they really hate to hear: NONSENSE!

“Never try to analyze insanity”.

That would make an excellent tag line.

Coming into the White House, Trump has longer and at a higher level of leadership experience than all but a few of our presidents.

Contrast Obama to him. I rest my case.

Everyone is shooting for the Himmler prize, and there isn’t one being given.

Trump is going to be an excellent president, but he will also be trashed constantly for implementing excellent policy because it doesn’t sit well with Leftists.

The good news is that unless I missed one, the Federalist Society reviewed Trump list of potential judges for the supreme court included nary a single ivy league graduate.

Given that Teddy Roosevelt and John Adams would not make it into Harvard these days, I have a theory about what is wrong with the Ivy League. The average student has spent his entire life from coneception onwards doing what is required to be the perfect student with all the right things on zir resume. There is no room to explore, make mistakes, screw up royally. As they say, good judgment is the result of experience and experience is the result of bad judgment.

What can go wrong in all of this - just review the fabled career of the great CJ John Roberts, a step never misplaced until one tiny little slip-up - Obamacare - it's a tax. And now the summa cum laude Harvard student is forever marked as a fool
