He really still is an ignorant, scared little 7-year-old trapped inside a bloated old fool’s body.

If KellyAnne and the rest of the nut jobs are not going to be on CNN, maybe I will consider watching them. However, they still have that wacko Jeffrey Lorde and they still must live down hiring Corey Lewendowski (sp?)

He said the statue is “cherished” and one of his “favorite things.”

Yup.

Keep up the war with the media. Hit them hard, hit them often. Go after ABC, CBS, and NBC as well. Attack, attack, attack!!! Fake news all!!!

And then you’ll find out what it’s really like to start a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.

Edit: After reading what Josh posted on TPM’s front page, I’m now wondering if he’s right. It’s a depressing thought on this front.

Battles lines being drawn…

This does not end well for anyone or anything. A hopeless polarized press signals the failure of our democratic principles…

OT but still very much worth a read - apparently war is brewing at the WH because Bannon is ramming thru the worst of his worst while the Kushners are observing Shabbat and are therefore radio silent.

Another day, same old garbage, and yet another ugly, UGLY PeePee photo…

The room is full of children (sorry kiddos, no offense). A collective “Enough!” from adults too often seems to be so out of reach these days.

(Caution: Mood swings negative now).

Can you guys stop attaching stock photos of Dear Leader to articles about him? Wouldn’t a photo of a rotting orange or a steaming pile of doggie doo-doo serve just as well?

Josh says the anti-CNN stuff is just picking on the weak. Maybe. But they were the ones who broke the Russia connection story. I can’t help thinking Trump is trying to intimidate CNN from following the story further and also trying to discredit in advance anything they might report on the subject.

This nonsense is about Trump doing Faux News the favor of trying to destroy one of their biggest competitors. It keeps Faux News super happy with him and feeds their already overwhelming need to promote him and function as his state run news agency.

“In fact, I like it so much, I am going to place it out on the White House lawn. Maybe give Dr. King a lantern. It will be beautiful.”

The media are not happy about the manner Trump portrays them. It sure doesn’t help when Trump is served up a slam dunk of idiocy like Zeke Miller’s mistake, to cite forever afterward as proof they’re hostile to him. You reap what you sow. Miller had to know allegations the bust was removed would elicit condemnation from many corners. Seems like a story you’d want to be damned sure was accurate before going to press. Where the hell was the editor? The lack of oversight and second sourcing means the stupidity existed on multiple levels. No one at Time Magazine asked “Are you absolutely positive the bust is gone from the Oval Office?”

Can’t say as I fault Trump for harping on it. Time Magazine richly earned his scorn.

Trump’s 7 techniques to control the media, techniques 2 and 6:

  1. Blacklist critical media.

  2. Limit media access.
