So, I just finished a job for a major media conglomerate. We used a boat with a captain and a second captain. OK, so these guys were a little rough around the edges and the education level was not real diverse, but nice guys and i liked working with them. Of course I coulda guessed their politics, but we never discussed it. Until they both pushed the Clintons had Anthony Burdain murdered conspiracy came up, which they both were pushing. I did not push back much, but mentioned that Burdain was a recovered heroin addict and had mentioned dark thoughts about suicide on his show previously. made no difference, they were sold on the conspiracy. Ok they are Trump voters...big shock. Both care a lot about the environment and made sure we picked up every mylar ballon we saw drifting on the open sea. But damn, if they believe that $#!+, there is not a lot of hope for the 35%.... even if Mueller shows a video with Trump , Putin and Assange in a private meeting!

Oh, and please regale me about the percentage of the people that keep CNN and MSNBC in ratings and somehow they have a real life and are not gullible fools? I watch CNN and see where no anti-Trump spin is ridiculous enough to be ignored. Its 24/7 of false claims, generalizations and innuendo amidst a rare statement of fact.
It is war between MSM and Trump. It is because they are all Democrats or never Trumper Republicans (if there are even any Republicans among them)? Is it because Trump has exposed them for who they really are? It is because Trump is an obnoxious bully and the media thinks its their God given mission to get rid of him simply for the sake of style and tradition? I think it is a combination of all three.
But if there are idiots on the right that consider as true what they are told by a motivated media outlet, please dont dare think that the same isn't true for idiots on the left.

first of all, I never called the boat crew "idiots". I rather liked them and they are good at what they do. when you work at sea, you also have to trust the crew to make the correct decisions ..and I did. I was just shocked that they would believe what they were telling me is all. I don't need to watch anything to make a determination about Trump. all he has to do is open his mouth. worst for me is his attack on environmental regulations. anyone can Jack the economy by taking away protections of water, air and wildlife. the gain is temporary with a huge price to be paid. can you explain 78 degree ocean surface temperatures off the San Diego coast during a supposed la niña year? all the kelp forest locally died during the 2016 el Nino. it started to come back this year as we entered a cooling ocean period...now it's dead on the beaches in 3 short months of crazy hot water. fires in Sweden and Finland where they have never been seen before historically? all time highs all over the globe.Japan, Europe, Texas etc. even the guys I mentioned on the boat know something is not right. Trump is like Nero. divide and conquer...and leave a mess behind. blind followers with no ability or will to push back or disagree.

Trump is like Nero. divide and conquer...and leave a mess behind. blind followers with no ability or will to push back or disagree. Not called idiots but shocked "that they would believe what they were telling me" (aka the idiocy). Semantics aside, Trump is as amoral as the Clintonistas, for example, so assuming the worst if you don't like one or the other is common practice. But Trump has a stated agenda for well stated reasons for that agenda. Admittedly an agenda considerably different (and better to many) than what is desired by the left. True believers will cry and moan about it and MSM will attack, etc. But that is true irony to think Trump is the divider from the side that is synonymous with class warfare, identity politics, racial quotas, naming people as deplorables, etc. And the sad thing is that they actually believe their political opponents are deplorable. But in reality, just reasonable people with different priorities and realities for themselves and/or their families. |

the only good thing is that you (and I) are a virtual presence and I will never have to work with you.

There's a wealth of this stuff out there. bourdainmurder.com/CAVEAT: "Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1) Just saying. |

It's all cycles. Trump has done nothing to sacrifice the environment. The regulations he cut were just stupid bureaucratic unnecessities. |

The networks should try taking a break from its Trump bashing agenda and do some of it’s fear and miracle mongering stories. Everytime they go after Trump, it’s a wasted effort on their part, in fact I believe it actually helps this President. Yes the Anti Trump people have their feelings reaffirmed, however the effect on Pro Trumpers is to have their resolve strengthened as they recognize the old tactics which the left inclined mainstream media have used for generations. The race baiting and class envy tactics aren’t selling anymore and won’t sway a single Trump voter. And last time I checked, there were enough Trump voters to win an election.

Innuendo, lies and confusion. It's what trump does to others, and its being done to him and he can't handle it! She has obviously studied the guy and knows how to push his buttons. Yea, she has no credibility, but Trump is off the deep end over her. "I only hire the best people". Now to Trump's cool aid drinkers. "I love the uneducated"! He found the most easily manipulated and they will follow him down the rabbit hole. Dummies! |

I thought things were bad when Regan was president. This is ridiculous. It's like a Simpson's episode.
