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.”

He Told Us He Was Going To Continue To Be A Prick

Barky is Certainly Keeping His Word 

With Ma Clinton rebuked and put away wet and the far left superstars Bernie Sanders and Lizzy Warren circling Political Jupiter somewhere, Barky did tell us before leaving office he would try and set himself up as the reasoned voice of the Democrats. *snork *

Commentary Magazine:

"Obama warned that he would speak out if he determined there was “systematic discrimination being ratified in some fashion,” or if the press was mistreated (in a manner similar to how his Department of Justice targeted reporters, perhaps), or if his executive actions on immigration were repealed. Basically, Obama told the press to expect his return sooner rather than later. Few guessed, though, that sooner meant just 11 days. 

In a statement released by Obama’s spokesman, Kevin Lewis, the former president warned that “American values are at stake”—an indirect reference to President Donald Trump’s executive actions on refugees....." 

"Obama’s statement is an effort to craft a narrative (seven countries does not the Islamic world make, and no one has challenged Trump’s executive order on the basis that it discriminates against an entire religion). It is also, though, an attempt to thwart a damaging political realization from taking root in the Democratic subconscious. It was his administration and the last Congress that designated the countries in Trump’s executive order as potential threats...."

"The president, the most powerful man on earth, was reduced in his final days in office to drumming up enthusiasm for state assembly races. Today, when he should be focusing on building his library and serving as a sagacious ambassador to the world, he lowers himself to offer a muted and impotent burble of opposition to his successor. He will posture and preen and do whatever he can to make sure the Democratic Party’s next leader is cast in his mold. So long as Obama can fill the silence, Democrats won’t have time to reflect on the president’s legacy. When they finally do, Obama won’t appreciate many of the conclusions they reach."

Acting AG’s Showboating a Fitting End to the Obama Era

"Acting US Attorney General Sally Yates, an Obama appointee, ordered the Department of Justice not to defend President Trump’s executive order on immigration.  I couldn’t think of a more fitting capstone to the Obama record on Justice than its showboating on the immigration order. The legal arguments weigh strongly in favor of the administration, and the Justice Department has a legal obligation to defend it. It can only refuse if there are no reasonable grounds on which to defend or the Justice Department has come to the conclusion that the law is unconstitutional, which it could only do it if disregarded existing statutes and case law. 

Once again the Obama Justice Department has put its left-wing politics before its legal duties. On the other hand, this is meaningless showboating. Attorney General Sessions will be confirmed soon, and on day one he will direct DOJ attorneys to defend the order. But I couldn’t think of a more fitting end to the Obama Justice Department then President Trump calling Sally Yates, and say: “you’re fired." - John Yoo

Trump Team Warns Creepy Future King: None of That Global Warming Crap!

Donald Trump is set to meet with Prince Charles this June when he visits Britain, which may turn out to be awkward given the fact that Trump previously told Howard Stern that he totally could have “nailed” Princess Diana and was also pretty obsessive about pursuing her after the royal pair broke up back in the ’90s. Reportedly, Trump sent her an absurd amount of flowers after her divorce. But it may be awkward for other reasons as well! Apparently, Prince Charles has already been warned by Team Trump to not “lecture” The President about climate change.

Here are some hilarious things that were reportedly said about the potential meeting, via The Times of London:

"A source close to Trump said: “He won’t put up with being lectured by anyone, even a member of the royal family. Frankly, they should think twice about putting him and Prince Charles in the same room together.”

"A senior government source familiar with the discussions said: “Trump’s people are worried about an awkward moment, with Charles saying ‘Why don’t you believe in climate change?’ or ‘Have you read my book?’  

“They do not want the president to be put in an awkward position where he’s being lectured. They want horses down the Mall, tea with William and Kate. They want all that pomp and for it to go seamlessly, and one of the risk factors is Charles."

THE BRITS WANT HORSES AND TEA!  HORSES. AND. TEA. And a golden goose that lays gold eggs for Easter. And the horses should be painted gold and have wings and they should all bow before the Prince as he walks past them. But everyone at the WH hopes William and Kate will drink tea with Donald and Melania and all the British rags will write stories about how nice they all looked doing that.

You see, Donald Trump has already made up his mind on climate change, and Prince Charles might just be jealous, because a billionaire and a man with real power lusted after his Ex Ol' Lady, and he has to wake up now every morning to Camilla!

So the Creepy Future King was advised to put a sock in it and be nice, and maybe he won't get some dumbass gifts like Barky had a habit of giving.

House Chamber Temporarily Evacuated

MFNS-WASHINGTON - Late Friday night near panic struck the Chamber of the House of Representatives during a debate before those present of a bill sponsored by democrats for federal funding the construction of "Transgender Only Driving Lines" within California's Federal Highway system. The bill was Sponsored by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal.) 

The debate was interrupted when House Speaker Paul Ryan notice Pelosi, at the dais at the time, head began to violently quiver from side to side. Middle Finger News Congressional Correspondent, Ima Gonagetu spoke to Speaker Ryan after the incident:

"I knew something was wrong when Minority Leader Pelosi began slurring her words and her face began to contort and could hear a metallic popping sound...... and then heard the House Clerk scream and saw blood running down her forearm as she passed out and fell face first onto her desk....... I yelled THERE SHE BLOWS and headed for the door....."

What many who worked closely with Pelosi over the years feared would someday happen, happened. The permanent metal staples from her many massive face-lifts had begun to let loose. There was shrapnel in the air.

Along with the House Clerk, the august Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) also sustained a flying staple injury on the cheek. 

"I'm Okay. I feel honored to have shed blood in this hallowed hall in an honorable cause for our Transgendered citizens  ......as honored as when I got my head bashed in with a brick during the Civil Rights movement." 

The few in congress who were there ignoring Pelosi's speech ducked under their desk for cover while others ran for the door. Many of the members later found metal staples lodge in the back of their suit coats.

One such Congressman was Rep. Bullet-Head Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) who told us of his harrowing experience: 

"There was fear in the air when everyone realized what was going on. I hadn't been that scared since last time I walked through my district after dark! It was scary!" 

Minority Leader Pelosi was restrained and removed from the House floor, later to be spotted exiting an unmarked van at Walter Reed Army Hospital with a large Walmart bag over her head.

Alex Jones' Infowars Has Been  Offered Press Credentials

for White House Press Briefings

When I first saw this story I started laughing, then broke out in a cold sweat.  No.  Please No!  Then I heard Jones say it himself.  But after a little thought, I told myself that this could really be fun and piss off the media in ways even I couldn't think of. The man who tells us all the school shootings are false flags and juice boxes turn kids gay, fully credentialed and attending the White House Press Briefing. Oh Yeah!

In an announcement to his fans and listeners and all of America, conspiracy theorist and 9/11 Truther Jones announced that his site, Infowars, had indeed been offered press credentials by the Trump White House. Jones said he hopes all the people from illegitimate fake news organizations like CNN get demoted from the front row, and replaced by Breitbart and Drudge and other "real reporters" like him.

"Here’s the deal, I know I get White House credentials, we’ve already been offered them, we're going to get them, but I’ve just got to spend the money. I want to make sure it's even worth it. I don't want to just sit up there like "I’m in the media, look our people are there." People don't understand this paradigm, we’re devolving in a good way."

"What's CNN doing in the front row, when press secretary Sean Spicer keeps going to them? And then the reporter yesterday goes, "Oh, maybe Trump wasn't even elected. That's why you say there's fraud." So they're like little kids up there. These aren't real journalists. Meanwhile, it's just crazy, you should see Breitbart and Drudge, and also just reporters that are known to tell the truth from mainstream.

Can't argue with Jones on that at all! And I realize Jones was one of Donald Trump's first and most fierce and loyal supporters. And I can't fault him for that either. But the important thing here is why Jim Hoft and Alex Jones are getting press credentials.

Conspiracy theories, contrary to what you might think, actually make people much more malleable. They make people believe that they are smarter than smart people. If you can convince someone that chemtrails exist and can be fought with vinegar, you can probably convince them Obama's EPA was turning all the frogs gay.

We can only just imagine Jones' dream first press briefing. Front row, sitting in the Helen Thomas memorial chair being called on:

Spicer  - Yes Mr. Jones. 

Jones - Now that the CIA director is firmly in place and had time to poke around, will the President be issuing a statement on , or release information about the Fake Moon Landings or the Lizard People that abducted Elvis?
