Don't you worry.........the "media" is all over this

 

As reported, two JetBlue passengers were removed from a JetBlue flight after one of them, the husband of a Hunter College professor, verbally berated Ivanka Trump. The professor, Andy Lasner, deleted his Twitter account in the wake of the incident, including tweets indicating an intent to harass.

 

 

 

ThinkProgress editor Judd Legum put it this way:

Passenger kicked off Jet Blue flight for talking to Ivanka Trump. "Your father is ruining the country!," he said https://goo.gl/dW5VTE

 

Not to be outdone, check out Yahoo News’ approach:

Man kicked off JetBlue flight for questioning why Ivanka Trump was on it https://yhoo.it/2h6jShy

 

Talking points memo softened the tone a bit as well:

Ivanka Trump reportedly jeered at by fellow passenger in JetBlue coach: "Your father is ruining the country" http://bit.ly/2igaw7T

 

I believe the word you are searching for is ....."Harass"

REMEMBER “LOVE TRUMPS HATE” AND “THEY GO LOW, WE GO HIGH?”................ ME NEITHER

Whoa whoa whoa you left out a bunch of stuff.

 

If your understanding of the media.....nay of human nature.........was a game of Jenga, you'd have little blocks of wood all over your floor.

In that world?

 

Your wit == eating paste. Lots of paste.

"Russia Did It" - The Last Stand Of Neoconservatism

Some intellectuals brought it to a new level: the rest of the world will have to embrace capitalism and liberal democracy voluntarily or else they will be forced to. It was the birth of neoconservatism in the United States and it would spread across the Atlantic.

 

(Snip)

 

The Neocon-backing Western establishment is facing political upheaval all over Europe and the US. These revolutions are not mere popular movements. Trumps election is the handing over of power from one influential group to another because a part of the establishment has become fully aware of the problems Europe and the US are facing.

 

(Snip)

 

The Neocon world peaked and is now crumbling at record speed. And what is the Neocons reaction? A failure to topple governments may have been taken into account, but the electoral defeats in the West were unexpected. In a bid that looks like a mix of anger and desperation the Neocon machine is using the US State Department and the mainstream media to mount a gigantic offensive putting the blame for its own failures on the battered Russia: so without having much evidence, neocons created a narrative that Russia has helped Donald Trump win the elections.

Let's see what the neocon mouthpieces are saying in their panic mode to stoke the Russia theory.

 

Weekly Standard

 

Congressional Republicans agree with Democrats that Russia's hacking of Democratic emails merits investigation. But however troubling Moscow's election-season mischief-making might have been, there's no reason to assume the results of the presidential vote itself were in any way unfair. The real reason we've spent the last few weeks talking about Russian hacking is that Democrats are casting about for a reason—any reason—to explain Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump that doesn't involve acknowledging their candidate's and party's monumental failings.

 

No less a figure in the Democratic party than Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta gave his blessing to the cockamamie idea of a briefing by the intelligence community on Russian interference for the benefit of the presidential electors, presumably so the Electoral College could upend the results of the election.

 

Daily Caller

 

That one word has become the favorite slogan of leftists following Donald Trump’s electoral victory, and it has only increased in usage since The Washington Post’s Friday report on CIA claims the Russian hacked emails to help the current president-elect win.

The most hysterical expression of this sentiment from a major public figure came from one Keith Olbermann Monday. The former primetime cable host launched into a tirade on his GQ YouTube video show — straight from a rickety basement set with subpar audio — about how the Russians now effectively control the United States government.

NEOCONSERVATISM: a political philosophy so backwards, so dangerously naive, and so hopelessly out of touch with the American people it's only hope to remain relevant was to attach itself to HRC's disastrous campaign.

 

It worked out as well for them as that whole "we will be welcomed as liberators" bit. :lol:

 

Now it's on to plan C.

The day DR went full gatorman

Going full gator on this issue is believing a thoroughly rejected political philosophy that is completely incompatible with our democratic republic can still work despite decades showing otherwise.

 

Going full gator on this issue is being so naive as to think regime change is simply hoping and wishing for better lives, or committing war crimes are okay so long as they're done for the "right" reasons.

 

Going full gator on this issue is being so desperate and out of touch with reality that your only hope of legitimizing your belief system is to latch on to HRC's campaign and expecting people not to notice.

 

Neoconservatism is not just outdated and unworkable in today's world, it's posioness to true liberty and freedom.

 

Anyone who still considers neoconservatism as a viable geopolitical strategy isn't just wrong, they're dangerous and completely unable to tackle the problems of a modern interconnected world.

And yet, the only bullet neocons have left, aside from delusional denial and insults (which never have substance), is to double down on fascism as an expediant way to control the narrative and change the system to something more compatible with their outdated, dangerous, and thoroughly disproven philosophy.

 

Which figures. Neocons aren't fascists. But they like to think they can control monsters to do their bidding. So naturally the rising tide of fascism on both sides of the spectrum appeals to their short sighted nature.

 

16 years of war.

 

8 trillion dollars + spent.

 

Millions of lives lost.

 

Three straight presidential election cycles which the American people have thoroughly rejected the neocon world view....

 

The results are in: Anyone who still thinks neoconservatism is a viable and laudable strategy is either oblivious or a dinosaur.

Not a single lick of substance to that retort. You can do better.

 

Wait, you can't if you're actually trying to defend the indefensible.

 

Shift the focus all you want: to me, to Putin, to lord knows what.... But you still cannot defend a philosophy that just is incompatible with our form of government, Liberty, freedom, and stability.

 

Neoconservatism is a poison of the mind.

You know me I rarely engage in substance but I don't pretend I do. You do

I don't pretend though. I bring substance to my discussions and am more than willing to entertain points of views other than my own. I'm also willing to analyze and think beyond the talking points and propaganda passed off as news.

 

You may disagree with me on certain matters -- I would expect nothing less -- but in terms of the utter failure and disaster that is the neocon philosophy it's not even a debate. It's fundamentally a flawed world view that's thoroughly incomparable w our system of government.

 

It is dying a loud death, and it's remaining supporters cannot defend it.

 

They can only deflect...

 

And hope fascist tactics work in their favor.

 

Which makes them enemies of everything The United States is supposed to stand for. Patriots they are not.

So neoconservatism started with...Kennedy?

 

Technically yes, as many were Democrats back in the day, but got disenchanted with the socialist leanings of the Democratic party and made a vocal exit.

 

On topic though, nothing says a takeover of a cabinet than appointing a neocon's wife to be an assistant to an assistant of a unit within a cabinet.

 

Many people don't realize that Zerohedge is the OC equivalent of finance bloggers. What he lacks in substance, he makes up with volume and charts (instead of emoticons) I'm still cracking up with his take that Apple was running the world's largest illegal hedge fund without any disclosure.
