Re: Should Journalists use more obtuse language in pieces about Trump?

As apposed to smug arrogant Canadians that look down their nose at Americans .

We're not the only ones. The whole damned developed world thinks that the Americans are the stupidest people on the planet.

They use inventions and scientific processes that have largely come form the UK, Germany and other mostly European sources. The Americans are brilliant at turning other nation's inventions into products but not a whole lot of fundamental invention comes from North America. The Laser and Transistor did but if you do your homework, you will find that an awful lot of "Proudly Made in USA" expertise has been hijacked from the British.

How did the Americans make it to the moon?

Germans put them there.

The planet has been looted of their ideas and the Yanks have the temerity to tell the world that THEY did it all, themselves.

They are, are they?
No need for a ban if no one wants to come .

And Canada made the Avro Arrow .

The Arrow itself didn't have much new technology in it. It was just well made. Canadians made better jet engines than the Americans but the jet engine (as we know it) is a British invention.

There was an analogy computer developed for guiding air-to-air missiles on the Arrow that was original Canadian invention but I believe that the technology headed south when the Arrow was cancelked, where it got it's Proudly Made in USA label slapped on it.

My wife's grandfather worked on the Arrow. When it was cancelled, he moved to Florida and worked on Mercury, Gemini and Apollo.

They were proudly made in USA by, among others, 14,000 Canadians and the best of the Peenemunde Germans. There was an army of Brits behind the scenes, too.

Quit Calling Dump A Chicken Hawk!



'A candidate for chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Saturday blasted President Trump, calling him “a draft-dodging chickenhawk president."

“I’ll be damned if we’re going to have a draft-dodging chickenhawk president of the United States – who thinks he’s too smart to read his own intelligence briefings – ordering the people I served with back into another conflict because he can’t be bothered to do his job properly,” South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg said at a DNC forum in Baltimore.

Buttigieg, who was deployed to Afghanistan while serving in the Navy Reserves, said during a panel with other DNC candidates that Democrats need to “tap into the moral outrage” across the country, alluding to protests over a series of executive actions Trump has taken in the first weeks of his presidency. Buttigieg criticized Trump for his order on refugees.'

Donald Trump is such a terrifying fascist dictator that literally no one fears speaking out against him on literally any platform.

It seems fitting for there to be a don't pick on Trump thread. The sorry sod can't handle any criticism or negative feedback. The question remains: why would folks want to keep protecting this bloke..who has no problem lashing out with venom each time he does not get his way or someone offends his sensitive little feathers. This characteristic alone disqualifies him from the position he now holds.thanks to Putin's help.(a factoid that h;is supporters are in denial about)Why do folks think he has surrounded himself with like minded blokes?? .....to the degree it is almost incestuous.

will be interesting to watch how this group of billionaires handles a REAL crisis .....

When folks have to tread on egg shells when around this unpredictable potentially volatile leader...... there is a problem.

SNL Hits 6-Year Ratings High With Melissa McCarthy, Alec Baldwin



“Saturday Night Live” notched its highest rating in six years thanks to the return of Melissa McCarthy as White House press secretary Sean Spicer and Alec Baldwin’s record 17th outing as host.

NBC’s late-night mainstay grabbed a 7.2 household rating and 18 share in Nielsen’s 56 overnight metered markets, which cover about 70% of U.S. TV households. That marked the show’s highest mark in the overnights since the Jan. 8, 2011, edition hosted by Jim Carrey, which was boosted to a 7.8 household rating in part by an NFL overrun.

In adults 18-49, Saturday’s “SNL” scored a 3.6 rating — strong enough to beat the overnight demo scores of all primetime programs last week (that stat may change when delayed viewing is factored in).

The latest numbers, which will grow with delayed viewing factored in, will bolster “SNL’s” already strong performance in the Trump era. Viewership of the show for the season to date is up 22% in total viewers (10.6 million) and 19% in adults 18-49 (3.5) compared to the same period last season. That makes it the most-watched “SNL” season in 22 years, since the 1994-95 frame.
