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."

Mark Shields has always been that stupid. His analogy makes zero logical or rational sense.
None of the people who have had to leave the White House were trying to escape from the White House.
Analyst is so confused.
Must be a deflection!
The wall around West Berlin was give or take 96 miles. It was built by the DDR to keep it’s citizens from escaping to the west. West Berlin was 110 miles from the West German border at Helmstedt and thus 110 miles behind the Iron Curtain.
PS I have a couple of bricks from the wall...when it was still up!
Ironic how the left worships communists then accuses its enemies of being like them. Whenever they something, it’s just for immediate effect without contemplation, and is never retained.
I still have some pics that I took on the east side.
Some days they’re acting like Nazis, some days they’re acting like Communists...would the folks at PBS please make up their minds???/s;)
Yup, they can’t help themselves.
Liberals really are horrible people.

There isn’t a nickel’s difference between Nazis and Communists when it gets right down to it. For more on that, see the Hayek quote on my profile page. 3rd one down, 2 paragraphs. He was a very astute contemporaneous observer of the European scene. He boils it down better than anyone I’ve seen.
