I agree that it seems unfair to compair different administrations, and this is an example of the media spinning whatever they can to show Trump in a negative light. .

Trump spent the entire last few years bashing Obama on everything including vacation/travel costs. To suggest it's unfair on trump to compare is absurd. He tweeted it #'s of times.

I guess trump doing press conferences and rally's have replaced Conway and spicer. Undoubtedly trump is super happy with himself and can so he tried it the normal way and it failed.

Lol one of the comments is because trump can't read he never saw his book or else he would never be chosen.

It's remarkably though not surprisingly easy to get Trumptards to defend paedophilia on a Milo-esque supply-and-demand basis.

Cpac uninviting milo is a misdirection. Bannon is still speaking and the left already wasted all the coverage time they had for this.

Who cares about CPAC? There is no election going on. It's a meaningless meeting this year.

Whitehouse stonewalling media while continuing to lie.

Perhaps this ties into Conway and Spicer being MIA

They are testing out the content this year, to see how it will play in 2018.

Hilarious.

More Fake News. WH released statement yesterday saying Trump played a "few holes" of golf. Picture of Trump and Rory McIlroy surfaces and Rory says they played a full round. WH releases a corrected statement.

Just LOL

It's a distraction (meaning Milo & CPAC) that takes away from all the other important issues right now. So typical how he's getting all the attention he wants.

Anything that drives a wedge between the alt-right and the establishment is a very good thing.

I was watching RT the other day late at night, because I didn't know what it was and it was with all the other news channels in my cable package. I had no idea what it was, but then some crackpot documentary about people with money controlling all the wars and how every world leader was in America's pocket except the ones like Gaddafi who stood up to them who were then assassinated.
Thanks for letting me know that it was Russian controlled junk

Trump may have neglected to check with Putin before he made this choice.

Quote:

Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster has a shaved head and gung-ho manner that only add to his reputation as the U.S. Army’s leading warrior-intellectual, one who often quotes famed Prussian general and military theorist Carl Von Clausewitz. A decade ago, McMaster fought a pitched battle inside the Pentagon for a new concept of warfare to address the threat from Islamist terrorists and insurgents in Afghanistan, Iraq and other trouble spots. Now, his new mission is more focused. Target: Moscow.

TIL Clausewitz is the guy famous for saying "War is the continuation of politics by other means."

Not reporting to the media weakens their influence over the people. It also makes it easier for Trump to do really ****ed up **** behind the scenes if nobody can report on it. It's why Putin only has one press conference per year and gets asked mostly softball questions by pro-Putin media plants.

WHEN IT’S TOO LATE TO STOP FASCISM, ACCORDING TO STEFAN ZWEIG

Quote:

At that point, still oblivious to what this popular affirmation might portend, Zweig applauded the enthusiastic passion expressed in the elections. He blamed the stuffiness of the country’s old-fashioned democrats for the Nazi victory, calling the results at the time “a perhaps unwise but fundamentally sound and approvable revolt of youth against the slowness and irresolution of ‘high politics.’ “

In his memoir, Zweig did not excuse himself or his intellectual peers for failing early on to reckon with Hitler’s significance. “The few among writers who had taken the trouble to read Hitler’s book, ridiculed the bombast of his stilted prose instead of occupying themselves with his program,” he wrote. They took him neither seriously nor literally. Even into the nineteen-thirties, “the big democratic newspapers, instead of warning their readers, reassured them day by day, that the movement . . . would inevitably collapse in no time.” Prideful of their own higher learning and cultivation, the intellectual classes could not absorb the idea that, thanks to “invisible wire-pullers”—the self-interested groups and individuals who believed they could manipulate the charismatic maverick for their own gain—this uneducated “beer-hall agitator” had already amassed vast support. After all, Germany was a state where the law rested on a firm foundation, where a majority in parliament was opposed to Hitler, and where every citizen believed that “his liberty and equal rights were secured by the solemnly affirmed constitution.”

Boy does a lot of this article sound familiar.

Quote:

But Hitler “elevated lying to a matter of course,” Zweig wrote, just as he turned “anti-humanitarianism to law.” By 1939, he observed, “Not a single pronouncement by any writer had the slightest effect . . . no book, pamphlet, essay, or poem” could inspire the masses to resist Hitler’s push to war.
