Panel Michele Norris of The Race Card Project; Jeffrey Goldberg, of The Atlantic, Michael Gerson of Washington Post columnist ; and David Frum of the Atlantic."
MICHAEL GERSON: Well, I think theres a pretty much even chance that were going to have a constitutional crisis or have a completely incompetent presidency that doesnt know how to exercise power, which is, I think, another possibility in this circumstance. He has a White House-- Donald Trump has a White House with almost no skill at governing. ...Hes elevated people, generals and--a corporate heads, that have no experience in this extraordinarily complex business of how you put together an administration, run a bureaucracy, produce ideas. So theres-- I think theres a deep concern about the possibility of overreach. But I think we should be also concerned about the possibility of an entirely ineffective government that doesnt value governing experience, that doesnt value, you know, what government should do and what it can do under the right circumstances.
... or this...
DAVID FRUM: something we should all be very frightened of. .... Its very bad when a president, as Barack Obama did, draws a red line and the red line isnt actually there. Thats humiliating. That leads people to misunderstand. What is much more dangerous is if the president says the red line isnt there and it really is. Trump is everyday signaling-- signaling that red lines arent there, that NATO doesnt matter.
....Theres an American armored brigade taking up a position in Poland. There are NATO -- nuclear-capable NATO armies in Estonia-- and-- there are nuclear-capable NATO powers that are in Estonia, NATO armies in Latvia and Lithuania. Theres a big buildup happening in Bulgaria. You give the Russians the idea that the United States is not serious--

And fewer and fewer people will pay any heed to the MSM, and more Dem voters will un-register. :-)
College degrees simply DO NOT mean what they used to IMO.
We seem to get a lot of affirmative action folks who come up with some of the most convoluted logic ever.
Obama himself is a good example.
His ability to judge two cases where an individual lost their life, and come up with a reasoned assessment was non-existent.
Your comments deserve some serious thought.
Wouldn’t always have said this, but doing something drastic with the Press Core is definitely on my agenda these days.
They failed their duty. Big media did too.
They should be out.
FoxNews too IMO. There are a few good eggs, but unless FoxNews sent on of “THEM”, I’d meet their people at the door and suggest the burger joint on K-Street.
And when I called Roberts a “fool” I may have misspelled the word. I think it should have read “tool,” but that is what the Ivy League produces these days, clever tools.
The MSM is totally complicit with the progs/globalists/commiepuke/Dems or whatever one wants to call them. Part of the same company.
Where was he when a totally incOmpetent bOOb was running the White Hut.
Perhaps someone can explain to me why Obama needs a multimillion-dollar Hawaiian vacation less than a month before retirement — when he should be doing everything he can to help the new president get up to speed. (Not that anything he could or would do would actually be helpful to Trump.)
Not defending him, but it’s Christmas break and his kids are out of school. Doesn’t explain all the other vacations, tho.
I didn’t watch, but when I’ve seen Goldberg on FNC the past half-year he was always anti-Trump.
That’s easy. The obamas need a multi million dollar vacay now because this is the last time they’ll be able to do it and that is all that is important to them.
They are out of power in about two weeks. No more funding. No more attention. They might have a stash or two of cash. There are multi billions missing from various accounts of organizations they hate such as the pentagon. They can’t be expected to live on presidents retirement income. But they can’t expect to go into that for vacation. It would be gone in a few short years
The question should be, how do so many Americans support these grifters?
