Leftist Protesters To Adopt WH Photo-bomber's Tactics Against Donald Trump

Protesters in Chicago have reportedly planned to use a Notorious White House Photo-bomber's tactic in order to get Donald Trump to release his tax returns by mooning Trump Tower in Operation "Kiss Our Asses, Release Your Taxes!"

The Blaze - The events organizer, Bailey Davis, believes that a little exhibition is just what it will take to get Trump to do what nothing else has convinced him to do yet.

"Certain things get people on their feet. Not everybody is going to watch ’60 Minutes’ because they think it’s boring. If you ridicule (Trump) or make him feel like he’s the loser, that’s how he blows up. That’s what makes The Donald implode.  If 500 people go up to that tower and pull their pants down it’s not going to go unnoticed, and that’s the goal."

According to the Facebook page for the event, participants are supposed to meet at the Trump International Hotel and Tower at 3:30 on February 12th, then “at the crack of 4:00 (pun intended)” they will drop their diapers for a whole ten seconds in order to “send a powerful message to the Washington Elites.” They then added the hashtag #rumpgsagainsttrump. 

How exposing yourself to a building will send a powerful message to people in a place miles away is anyone’s guess, but rest assured that social media will be having a fun day this month on the 12th. 

And as we all know, copycats and plagiarizers are just Childish Twits anyway. 

As If You Really Needed Anymore Evidence the Little Midget is off the Rails....

Dr. Robert Reich

We all know by now the little midget and former Clinton administration cabinet member, Robert Reich, long ago went off the rails and now teaches the young minds of America at the cesspool of UC Berkeley. Even after having the Tinker-belle balls to call for 100 days of Resistance, the good Doctor went on the Crazy News Network and called the rioters in Berkeley "Secret Right-Wingers."

On CNN Thursday,  Reich suggested the anti-Trump riots on campus were actually a right-wing plot to delegitimize liberals.

Really Dr. Reich?  No, you little leftist squirrel, you and people like you who called for all out resistance to a duly elected President of the United States even before he took office are responsible for all this fascist crap, regardless who they are and who is paying them. We can only imagine what you and the pinheads haters in the media would have said if people who were really on the right had called for the same resistance and caused violence because of a newly elected President in 2008.

Reuters Tells Reporters to Be Honest and Above Board and Just Cover Trump Like Any Other Tin Horn Dictator

The powers that be at Reuters sent their Reports and Reporterettes a staff a memo called "Covering Trump the Reuters Way"outlining how the organization should cover the Trump administration: Pretty much the same as it would any other authoritarian regime where you'd be ridiculously naive to take the government at its word.

How do you cover someone who declares journalists “among the most dishonest human beings on earth” and whose  Pres Sec. called the New York Times to label the press the “opposition party” and to warn the media to “keep its mouth shut and just listen”? So what's the answer? Avoid the administration? Oppose it? Trade flattering coverage for access?  Heck no: Just cover Trump’s America like you would a bunch of the other places Reuters works from.

"Reuters is a global news organization that reports independently in more than 100 countries, including many in which the media is unwelcome and frequently under attack. I am perpetually proud of our work in places such as Turkey, the Philippines, Egypt, Iraq, Yemen, Thailand, China, Zimbabwe, and Russia, nations in which we sometimes encounter some combination of censorship, legal prosecution, visa denials, and even physical threats to our journalists."

Not that he’s saying the Trump administration is anything like those places. (Wink Wink) Just reminding reporters that they're there. Duh! And even in those difficult environments for reporting, which are not being directly compared to the Trump White House, oh, certainly not, the basics of good journamalism still apply: Get solid facts and report fairly.

So The Powers That Be at Reuters offer some Do’s and Don’ts for reporting on the Trump regime. Here are some of the Do’s:

*Become ever-more resourceful: If one door to information closes, open another one.

Or as they say in the business, make it up and use "Unnamed Sources" 

* Give up on hand-outs and worry less about official access. They were never all that valuable anyway. Our coverage of Iran has been outstanding, and we have virtually no official access. What we have are sources.

Yeah, we remember their coverage about how great Barky and John Kerry handled the Iran Nuclear deal, don't we?

* Get out into the country and learn more about how people live, what they think, what helps and hurts them, and how the government and its actions appear to them, not to us. Find out what the ordinary American thinks. If you're assigned a government “minder,” be careful to avoid putting the ordinary folk you interview in peril of retribution. Try to find chances to speak to people when you're not under surveillance. Be aware that in the course of pursuing ordinary journalism you may be arrested and executed for espionage. 

Washington, Tehran, not really that different.

And then there are the Dont’s:

* Don’t pick unnecessary fights or make the story about us. We may care about the inside baseball but the public generally doesn't and might not be on our side even if it did. 

* Don’t vent publicly about what might be understandable day-to-day frustration. In countless other countries, we keep our own counsel so we can do our reporting without being suspected of personal animus. We need to do that in the U.S., too.

* Don’t take too dark a view of the reporting environment: It’s an opportunity for us to practice the skills we’ve learned in much tougher places around the world and to lead by example — and therefore to provide the freshest, most useful, and most illuminating information and insight of any news organization anywhere.

Translation: Yes, the weather's nicer in Mombasa this time of year, but you can still do good reporting without whining about how Sean Spicer never answers your questions. Remember people, we have to set a good example for the rest of the journalists. Maybe there's even hope for CNN (Just kidding!).  And no, you can't put the necessary bribes for access to disenchanted left over Obama administration appointees and potential Trump back stabbers on your expense account. Okay, if you do, just be sure and log it as “office supplies.”
