News You Can Ignore

Orange is The New…Whatever 

August 18, 2016 

Hot on the heels of Chrump terrorizing America with his first substantive (for him) speech on terror we have learned that the unstable, uninformed, incurious, impulsive, verbally abusive, and easily antagonized toxic narcissist has received his first classified briefing. The Paying Attention office pool has him tweeting dangerous classified information just after Labor Day as his poll numbers nation-wide and state by state continue their nosedive toward sanity. Sources inside my head tell me that the briefing consisted mostly of misdirection and fiction. Even the American intelligence community is smarter than Donald Chrump, and refused to supply Mr. Chrump with usable intelligence until, to borrow a phrase from Chrump, "our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on" with the unhinged Republican’t nominee. Clearly we need a new screening test for the threats we face from certain presidential candidates who shall remain Donald Chrump...I mean nameless. I call it extreme vetting. I. Call. It. Extreme. Extreme vetting. America needs extreme enhanced vetting, perhaps even water-vetting before letting just anyone run for president. 

Roger and He 

You know what they say, and many of them are saying it, pigs of a feather wallow together. What could be a better fit than a misogynistic serial adulterer who recreates Richard Nixon’s hateful, paranoid 1968 “Law and Order” crusade and the blobulent, decades-long sexual harassment aficionado who fashioned Nixon’s ‘68 campaign. The incredible Chrump is saying, “I’ll see your Debbie Wasserman Schultz and raise you a sexual-harassment-suit-plagued Roger Ailes.” There’s something else many people are saying, “Truth is stranger than Nixon.”  

Bogus and the Beast

 Chrump’s choices of new team leaders signal that he is thumbing his nose…or his whatever at the Republican’t establishment. He is turning the crazy up to 11½ and going for broke or bull goose loony whichever comes first. Chrump’s previous campaign manager, Paul Manafort suddenly went dark and has now “resigned” presumably to spend more time with his Russians. I wonder if the stories emerging of his close and lucrative ties to Russian oligarchs, for whom he lobbied here at home, caused him to reconsider his decision to poke the public eye. I wonder if Chrump, who goes through campaign managers like he goes through wives (He’s now on his third of each.), will continue fighting for Putin for his own reasons – which are not unlike those of Manafort. According to the Associated Press Manafort “directly orchestrated a covert Washington lobbying operation on behalf of Ukraine’s (pro-Putin) ruling political party, attempting to sway American public opinion in favor of the country’s pro-Russian government…Paul Manafort and his deputy Rick Gates (another Chrump advisor), never disclosed their work as foreign agents between 2012 and 2014 as required under federal law.” Many people…many, many people are saying that this is criminal behavior. That I can tell you. In his quest to Make America Sorry Again Chrump is looking to be the exception that proves the old adage, “No press is bad press.” 

Speaking of Words 

In his latest attack on words and the truth, the man who called most Mexicans coming to America criminals and rapists, then demanded a ban on all Muslims entering America, repeatedly degraded women, called Jews great negotiators and mocked a handicapped reporter, called Hillary Clinton a “bigot”. 

 “Sometimes, in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words, or you say the wrong thing. I have done that. (10 second pause) And believe it or not I have done that.” Strangely enough sir, I don’t believe that. What I believe, and what many people are saying, is that you said exactly what you meant to say. It is not your words nearly as much as your thoughts – such as they are – that are the problem. When it comes to flip-flopping Chrump makes Mitt “Etch-a-Sketch” Romney look like the Rock of Gibraltar.  

I. Mangrey reporting. Bad for what Ailes you.
