CRAZY: ROB REINER SAYS TRUMP IS FIRST PRESIDENT ‘SUPPORTED BY MAINSTREAM MEDIA’ [VIDEO]
06/08/2018
Virginia Kruta | Contributor

During a guest appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Friday, acclaimed director Rob Reiner claimed that President Trump represented “the first time” that an American President had enjoyed the support of the mainstream media.

Play Video

Reiner began by saying that the majority of Americans don’t care about the threats presented by Russia because everything is too complicated, and most people only get their information from one source.

(RELATED: WATCH: Celebs Create Bizarre ‘Committee To Investigate Russia’)

He explained, “They don’t care because they don’t really understand it. It’s very, very complicated, and if you are only getting your information from one place, it’s very difficult to penetrate. This is the first time also in American history where we have had a president — every president uses propaganda to sell a policy — Republicans and Democrats. To sell a policy, so sell a rationale for going to war — but this is the first time we have had a president that is supported by mainstream media.”


Reiner then went on to describe which outlets he was including in his description of “mainstream media,” complaining that “43 percent of the country are getting their news only” from:

Fox News
Breitbart
Sinclair
Alex Jones
And while some would certainly question Reiner’s assessment of which outlets constitute “mainstream media,” most would argue that former President Obama had much more support from a much broader range of outlets than President Trump.

Trump wins again.

Anthony Bourdain openly criticised Donald Trump, but made a conscious effort to meet the president's supporters.

The American chef, who died on Friday, travelled to West Virginia to film an episode for his CNN show recently in a "plea for understanding" of the state, which overwhelmingly voted for Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

In an essay published in April, Bourdain described West Virginia as "breathtakingly beautiful" and called the stereotypes about its residents "as cruel, ignorant, misguided, patronizing, and evil as any other."

"Like any other episode of Parts Unknown, whether in Vietnam or Nigeria, or any city in the United States, this West Virginia episode is a plea for understanding of the people whose personal histories, sense of pride, independence, and daunting challenges deserve respect. It's a walk in somebody else's shoes.

"The stereotypes about West Virginia, it turns out, are just as cruel, ignorant, misguided, patronizing, and evil as any other. [...] Their identities, their aspirations, and their situation are far more complex than one can imagine, and their needs are more immediate."

He added: "I am intensely grateful for the kindness, hospitality, and patience the people of West Virginia showed to this ignorant rube from New York City who arrived with so many of the usual preconceptions, only to have them turned on their head."

Strikes me as a guy looking for answers

It’s often how it’s presented or put across that might be the problem I think.

What a fantasy. Seriously, you've got to know that Anthony Bourdain's demons which caused him to end his own life had nothing to do with Trump. Even Trump wouldn't see this as a win.

Twitter CEO Caves To Liberal Backlash, Says He Was Wrong To Eat Chick-Fil-A
The Daily Caller ^ | June 10, 2018 | Peter Hasson
Posted on 6/10/2018, 11:37:39 PM by Ciaphas Cain

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on Sunday expressed regret over eating at Chick-fil-A, because of the chicken company’s CEO’s personal views on gay marriage.

Dorsey tweeted a screenshot from his phone that showed a purchase he had made at Chick-fil-A using a mobile application. After a liberal backlash, however, Dorsey apologized for eating at the popular fast food restaurant.

At issue was Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy’s 2012 support for defining marriage as between a man and a woman, which he described as “the biblical definition of a family.”

It Is Terrible To Be A Liberal In 2018 – Which Is Awesome
Townhall.com ^ | June 28, 2017 | Kurt Schlichter
Posted on 6/28/2018, 7:44:13 AM by Kaslin



What a letdown – you libs were totally promised that you and your elite cohort would rule forever, unchallenged, over the filthy hordes infesting America’s non-coastal regions, and then all of a sudden those nasty Normals got militant and elected Donald Trump. It’s not fair, damnit! And it just gets worse and worse as things in America, under Trump, get better and better.

This prosperity and this relative peace are the worst things ever. Well, for you liberals. But then that’s all that matters, according to liberals.

So, now you got Bill Maher pining for a recession, apparently so Trump will somehow get tossed out of office to make room for some liberal to come in and … do what Trump did and bring prosperity, but more wokely? Then there’s Nancy Pelosi, fresh from bathing in a tub of 100-dollar bills, complaining that more cash in your pocket is a bad thing because it means she can’t spend it the way she chooses – and she chooses to spend it on greedy foreigners, lay-about bums, and other Democrat constituencies.

Never have so many been so angry about so little bad news. With nothing real to complain about, they have to hype every silly little thing to the point where they are screeching “Nazi!” at you while you are trying to gnaw on a Quarter Pounder.

Their anger is a giveaway. In poker, it’s called a “tell.” A tell is a little thing a player does that gives away the hand he’s holding. Liberals’ tell is how they constantly bemoan success, and what their tell tells us is that they are eager to trade our prosperity for their power.

But what do they care about our prosperity anyway? They are actively against our prosperity! Proud, self-sufficient people don’t need or want them. The entire business model of the Democratic Party is to keep Democratic constituencies poor and then give them money looted from non-Democratic constituencies. If the Democratic constituencies stop needing handouts, uh oh. What would they need the Dems for anymore?

Better a recession with them in power than prosperity without them in power. Which kind of shows where “Normals’ Happiness” ranks on the Big List of Liberal Priorities – at the bottom, Priority # 2382, right there between “Vegan Pronoun Equity” and “Reforming the FBI.”

Speaking of the FBI – well, no one is speaking of the FBI. The leftist media saw to that with a coordinated response of utter outrage against the Trump administration for treating criminals like criminals. Phew, that was close – we almost had to spend a few days talking about how simultaneously corrupt and inept the Democrats infesting the FBI and the DOJ are.

Still, if you’re a liberal, you not only have to have the major sadz because that sad-faced hack Bobbie the Beagle Mueller and his band of Democrat donors have found zero evidence of collusion. You have to be bummed that neither they nor all the lying sacks of Schiff in the deadwood fed bureaucracy can even manage to frame the president.

The libs bet the House on a bunch of government nimrods who are, unfortunately for #TheResistance, more incompetent than corrupt, which is saying something. Mueller’s got nothing, and he’s not going to get anything. He had Paul Manafort’s bail revoked, but is Manafort going to roll – by which I mean give Mueller the perjured testimony feds are used to pressing out of their stoolies? No. Manfort knows Mueller’s got nothing, because there is nothing, and he also absolutely knows there’s no pardon waiting for him if he invents Russia stuff to please Torquemueller. And Trump is totally going to pardon him, and General Mike Flynn too if that gun-to-head plea isn’t withdrawn in light of all the lies we’ve seen from Integrity Boy Comey’s cohorts.

Good. Because this corrupt practice of strong-arming testimony that is almost certainly false, in whole or part, out of “witnesses” by threatening them and their families with eternity in the slam has got to stop. Pardons would send a message – no more of this garbage. And then these lazy prosecutors might have to start proving their cases with evidence instead of with witnesses who have to choose between lying and dying in jail.

Liberals are devastated that Russiagate is a dud, and more so because the collateral damage on liberal institutions brought on by their fake scandal is going to be awesome. As a liberal you can’t be looking forward to November, not with Maxine Waters’ stupiding it up all over cable. Every Normal in America sympathized with Sarah Sanders, and the vast majority vowed some ballot box payback. These idiots ought to report their social warfare jerkiness as in-kind campaign contributions to Trump’s mid-term victory campaign.

Oh, there’s plenty of big talk among Dems and their media Schumer-sniffers about the onrushing blue wave, but where is this wave? Where is it hiding? Where is there any indication that the people who elected Trump are going to say “Yeah, I like the tax cuts and the booming economy and beating ISIS and my kid not having to fight street-to-street in Seoul and the crackdown on illegals and the conservative judges and Trump generally not taking of guff from liberals and their media pets, but I’ve suddenly just realized that Trump can be mean sometimes so I’ll vote for Democrat guy who wants to help Pelosi take my guns, import MS-13 into my neighborhood, and then pester me at the Arby’s.”

Where is someone saying that? Where?

Just look how unhappy the libs are. It’s all outrage, all the time. You can’t be happy if you are constantly agitated. It’s unhealthy. It makes you look like a wacko. Yet they go nuts on social media, they go nuts at awards shows, and they go nuts when conservatives are trying to scarf down some tacos. If you are always going nuts, maybe that’s an indicator that you are nuts.

What a disappointment we are to our liberal elite betters. We’ve let them down terribly. Oh well. These are bad times to be a liberal because these are good times to be a Normal American.

Science says liberals, not conservatives, are psychotic

By Danika Fears June 9, 2016

Lashing out over Trump is nothing new for liberals

Liberals really do drink more lattes

Texas billboard has a very special message for liberals

If America's so evil, why does the left think immigrants keep coming?
Turns out liberals are the real authoritarians.

A political-science journal that published an oft-cited study claiming conservatives were more likely to show traits associated with “psychoticism” now says it got it wrong. Very wrong.

The American Journal of Political Science published a correction this year saying that the 2012 paper has “an error” — and that liberal political beliefs, not conservative ones, are actually linked to psychoticism.

“The interpretation of the coding of the political attitude items in the descriptive and preliminary analyses portion of the manuscript was exactly reversed,” the journal said in the startling correction.

“The descriptive analyses report that those higher in Eysenck’s psychoticism are more conservative, but they are actually more liberal; and where the original manuscript reports those higher in neuroticism and social desirability are more liberal, they are, in fact, more conservative.”

In the paper, psychoticism is associated with traits such as tough-mindedness, risk-taking, sensation-seeking, impulsivity and authoritarianism.

The social-desirability scale measures people’s tendency to answer questions in ways they believe would please researchers, even if it means overestimating their positive characteristics and underestimating negative ones.

The erroneous report has been cited 45 times, according to Thomson Reuters Web of Science.

Brad Verhulst, a Virginia Commonwealth University researcher and a co-author of the paper, said he was not sure who was to blame.

“I don’t know where it happened. All I know is it happened,” he told Retraction Watch, a blog that tracks corrections in academic papers. “It’s our fault for not figuring it out before.”

The journal said the error doesn’t change the main conclusions of the paper, which found that “personality traits do not cause people to develop political attitudes.”

But professor Steven Ludeke of the University of Southern Denmark, who pointed out the errors, told Retraction Watch that they “matter quite a lot.”

“The erroneous results represented some of the larger correlations between personality and politics ever reported; they were reported and interpreted, repeatedly, in the wrong direction,” he said.

ELLISON SAYS DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS ‘COULD THEORETICALLY’ IMPEACH SCOTUS JUSTICES [VIDEO]

07/10/2018
Peter Hasson | Reporter

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison on Monday didn’t rule out the possibility that a Democratic Congress could impeach a Republican-appointed Supreme Court justice.

Ellison said Democrats probably won’t try to impeach a justice that President Donald Trump nominated to the court but said it “could theoretically happen.” Ellison, the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, previously claimed in May 2017 that Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch isn’t a “legitimate” member of the court.

Ellison on Monday hosted a community forum on the Supreme Court, where he was asked if there was “any possibility that the legislative branch would remove a Supreme Court justice.” (RELATED: Prominent Democrats Keep Destroying Norms To Go After Trump)

“You’d have to find some evidence of like, corruption, or something like that,” Ellison said, before another speaker, University of Minnesota Law School professor Jill Hasday, jumped into the conversation.


“I personally, unless you could find evidence that someone was corrupt, or potentially adamantly lying I think it would be very inappropriate. And I don’t mean out of my mind, I just disagree with you, really,” Hasday told the questioner. “I think that would be very inappropriate and a real threat to judicial independence. I think once someone is on the court, that’s basically it.”

“I will say that there have been lower court judges who have been impeached and honestly there were some things that came out with Justice [Clarence] Thomas that I thought were very concerning to me as far as his impartiality,” Ellison responded. “So I agree with Jill, it’s probably not going to happen, but it could theoretically happen.”

WATCH:

Ellison’s office did not immediately return a request for comment.

Trump announced Monday night that he would nominate Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to the Supreme Court. If confirmed, Kavanaugh would fill the seat vacated by retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.

Some liberal activists and journalists are already pushing for Democrats to expand the number of Supreme Court seats — and then promptly fill them with progressive jurists — once they’re back in control of Congress and the White House.
