Yeah, that Kenyan Communist killed all kinds of profitable businesses! Good thing we have a real businessman in charge, a guy who knows how to negotiate and get the best deals!

CNN has hired a talking head to give us the pro-Trump line. But this person has signed an NDA with Trump that forbids him from making disparaging statements. https://www.mediamatters.org/video/...tractually-forbidden-criticizing-trump/221090
Whitelandians think their so smart... https://www.livescience.com/63266-angry-people-overestimate-intelligence.html In general, the students with a higher tendency to get angry also overestimated their cognitive abilities, the study found. On the other hand, the students who were more neurotic, a trait that's often associated with anger, generally underestimated their intelligence. Neuroticism refers to negative traits including irrational anxiety and overwhelming distress. Perhaps not surprisingly, the researchers found that narcissism was a key factor in how people judged how smart they were. The more ill-tempered personalities were associated with "narcissistic illusions," Zajenkowski told PsyPost. It's important to note that while the study found that angry people tend to be more narcissistic and overestimate their brilliance, anger was unrelated to actual intelligence level. And, although the researchers found an association between the two traits, it's unclear if there's a cause and effect relationship between anger and overestimating intelligence. More research is needed to explore that link.
So people exhibiting typical Dunning-Kruger tendencies tend to get pissed off? Or are people who are easily pissed off more likely to be poster children for Dunning Kruger?
Well, when Brian Wright scored the winning goal for the Revs last week, the directive came from above to the person responsible for headlines, "Make sure you wright a headline that Right has the write stuff. It's GOLD!"
Speaking of Brake, I partied with this guy in the summer of 1984 when we worked at the same place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Brake
I just like tagging @superdave The midterm elections are just 20 days away, and @peteralexander got a rare look inside one fringe group hoping to capitalize on deep divisions within the country: white nationalists. pic.twitter.com/9pvqVP3UvU— TODAY (@TODAYshow) October 17, 2018 #bothsides
White nationalists are mainstream for other white nationalists. To everyone else they're a cancer to be exterminated.
https://www.vox.com/2018/10/23/18004478/hack-gap-explained The argument in a nutshell. "The hack gap has two core pillars. One is the constellation of conservative media outlets — led by Fox News and other Rupert Murdoch properties like the Wall Street Journal editorial page, but also including Sinclair Broadcasting in local television, much of AM talk radio, and new media offerings such as Breitbart and the Daily Caller — that simply abjure anything resembling journalism in favor of propaganda. The other is that the self-consciousness journalists at legacy outlets have about accusations of liberal bias leads them to bend over backward to allow the leading conservative gripes of the day to dominate the news agenda. Television producers who would never dream of assigning segments where talking heads debate whether it’s bad that the richest country on earth also has millions of children growing up in dire poverty think nothing of chasing random conservative shiny objects, from “Fast & Furious” (remember that one?) to Benghazi to the migrant caravan. " Another way of putting the phenomenon by which the MSM, which personally leans liberal, ACTS in a very different way. They've been intimidated, almost Stockholmed, by bad faith arguers like Rush and Sean and O'Keefe. My personal belief is that the left has to come out with all guns blazing at the MSM when they pull this bullshit. Just call F&F or Benghazi what it is: a successful attempt by fake journalists like Rush to give the MSM their assignments for the day.
the NYT's bothsides fetish has led them to print some pretty nonsensical stuff but "The Case For Mail-Bombing These Guys" is a real showstopper pic.twitter.com/jA1zljfs4z— Owen Ellickson (@onlxn) October 26, 2018
And there is this little ditty from today's New York Times. "By the time he was arrested in Florida on Friday, charged with sending pipe bombs to at least a dozen of President Trump’s critics, Mr. Sayoc appeared to fit the all-too-familiar profile of a modern extremist, radicalized online and sucked into a vortex of partisan furor." It is not "partisan furor," it is right wing ideological furor. There are no left wing analogues to what Sayoc is accused to have done. Virtually all of the conspiracy theories and virtually all of the violence and killings in the name of "partisanship" are committed on the right. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/27/technology/cesar-sayoc-facebook-twitter.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage @Q*bert Jones III posted this handy chart in the Terrorism Thread:
