Fishnet Friday

Governor Moonbeam Is Having None Of Donald Trump’s Climate Crap

Ground Control To Governor Moonbeam…

Speaking to a room of scientists Wednesday, California Gov. Jerry Brown vowed to protect the state's progress in the fight against global warming and challenge any attempt by Donald Trump to interfere with climate science.
"We've got the scientists, we've got the lawyers, and we're ready to fight. We're ready to defend. California is no stranger to this fight.. Whatever Washington thinks they are doing, California is the future."
And in true classic Jerry Brown style he suggested the state might even launch its own space program if Trump follows through with his advisers' efforts to end NASA's role in climate science.
"If Trump turns off the satellites, California will launch its own damn satellite," Brown said to loud applause. "We're going to collect that data."
"A lot of people say, ‘What the hell are you doing, Brown? You’re not a country. We will set the stage. We’ll set the example and whatever Washington thinks they are doing, California is the future.”
Brown threw so much shade in so many directions that solar panels in the immediate area experienced a brief decrease in output.  He singled out the “clowns” at Breitbart for mocking California’s efforts to reduce methane emissions from agriculture and landfill as merely regulating “cow farts,” although frankly, we think Gov. Brown may be missing an opportunity to enlist the inherent hilarity of cow farts in the fight against greenhouse gases.

Clinton Campaign Diverted Resources to Irrelevant States to Ensure Popular Vote Win


They Were So Sure They Had The Electoral College In The Bag

A new report from Politico Wednesday illustrates the stunning extent to which the campaign of Hillary Clinton was blind to Donald Trump’s potential challenge in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

In a decision that is sure to be second-guessed by political observers for all eternity, interim DNC Chair Donna Brazile hatched a plan to spend money to drive up inner-city turnout in places like Chicago and New Orleans, even though neither Illinois nor Louisiana was remotely competitive, because of fear that Clinton would win the Electoral College vote but lose the popular vote. So confident was the Clinton campaign of their Electoral College win that they refused requests to reallocate resources to places like Michigan because they did not want to risk the public relations nightmare that would come along with losing the popular vote.
"Millions were approved for transfer from Clinton’s campaign for use by the DNC — which, under a plan devised by Donna Brazile to drum up urban turnout out of fear that Trump would win the popular vote while losing the electoral vote, got dumped into Chicago and New Orleans, far from anywhere that would have made a difference in the election......."
"It was already November when the campaign finally reached out to the White House to get President Barack Obama into Michigan, a state that he’d worked hard and won by large margins in 2008 and 2012. On the Monday before Election Day, Obama added a stop in Ann Arbor, but that final weekend, the president had played golf on Saturday and made one stop in Orlando on Sunday, not having been asked to do anything else. Michigan senior adviser Steve Neuman had been asking for months to get Obama and the first lady on the ground there. People who asked for Vice President Joe Biden to come in were told that top Clinton aides weren’t clearing those trips......."
In the end, of course, Clinton ended up winning the popular vote by a relatively comfortable margin, almost the exact same margin that President George W. Bush enjoyed in 2004 when he defeated John Kerry.  But  abject failure to understand the strategic situation on the ground led to a crushing Electoral College loss.

* It must be noted that Donna Brazile is from New Orleans, and being a wheel in the Democrat party since the Gore campaign, has deep ties in Chicago.  Maybe someone should check out the ol' gal's bank account......

Save The Snowflakes!

 
"I cannot think of a more important time in our nation’s history to launch "Save the Snowflakes". With inconsolable college students around the country coming to grips with the election results, the MRC hears their cries loud and clear. Last month it was Trump. This month it's Christmas. Then Easter, Halloween, the Emmys -- the list is endless. We will not sit idly by as students suffer in silence. We stand in solidarity with their tortured souls because no one deserves to suffer through unspeakable tragedy without pony rides and bubbles." - Media Research Center President Brent Bozell

CNN Confirms Conspiracy to Swing Election

Keith Olbermann's Epic Meltdown Over ‘usurper’ Trump

We all remember the insane one, Keith Olbermann, sports correspondent for CNN, host of ESPN's SportsCenter, political commentator at MSNBC, chief news officer of the Current TV network, host at ESPN2 and TSN2, now host of a little known political web series for GQ.com, titled "The Resistance"

From a cheesy set that looks like it was rescued from a dumpster behind a local community theater company, and sounding like he's broadcasting from an abandoned warehouse somewhere in New Jersey, Olbermann lets rip a heated commentary in which he angrily pounds his fist on his desk as he urges Barack Obama to help prevent Donald Trump from assuming the presidency. He goes on to proclaim that allowing Trump to be sworn into office could mean the end to future elections in America. It's drama boy Olbermann at his demented best..........
