    Even Fox & Friends is having difficulty making any sense of Trump.


    Donald Trump Is Now Saying that Democrats Want to “Change the Name Thanksgiving”

    Donald Trump Is Now Saying that Democrats Want to “Change the Name Thanksgiving”

    excerpt:

    "That even baffled the normally unbaffleable crew at Fox & Friends, who did their best to contextualize and explain Trump’s comments, even briefly pinning it on Obama, naturally.

    Host Brian Kilmeade: “I don’t think there’s a huge push to change the name of Thanksgiving, is there?”

    Host Steve Doocy: “Well, you know, I think it was in 2015 there was a rumor that Barack Obama wanted to change the name of Thanksgiving. But that was debunked. So perhaps what he’s talking about was just all these stories about your carbon footprint and the amount of energy you use to travel…”"

    It's an alt-right dog whistle.

    What is the real history of Thanksgiving? Some white people came and took over the land. It's not the happy times you see in kid's books. They are starting to teach a more accurate sophistry in schools now and that means America is not as great.

    He's not talking about the day he is talking about white history being erased. The people who need to hear that will hear it. Same as the War on Christmas. It is the selling of a white English speakers emotions. Muslims don't have Christmas and neither did Soviet Russia. So those damn Democrats would never allow it.

    Long before him right wingers were getting upset that their "liberal indoctrinated" cousin was talking about actual history at the dinner. For them it's all emotion. Thanksgiving is a day for white Christian Capitalists to be thankful for Capitalism, guns, god, and limited goverment. So if you can sell the idea that people not in that tribe hate you for just being thankful it's a nice distraction.

    There is not a war on this day. There is a movement to be more accurate about it. That does not mean you can't have turkey and football. You can't convince these people of that. Even many natives are fine with what the day is now. It's not racist to see family they just don't like the past being forgotten.

    It's true there was a feast with white people and native.s What is also true is the children of those people went to war a generation after. This was because the white people kept taking and taking. You will not find that in your average kid's book.

    You wouldn't have been able to say that if it hadn't been for Trump.

    Everyone be thankful to Trump. That's the real meaning of Thanksgiving.

    King of Israel? Trump has much in common with Herod the Great: famous builder; known for cruelty to children; multiple wives; feckless kids; acts like a king but completely subservient to a hostile foreign power.

    Actually it was my hope the California wildfire which caused 500,000 dollars in damage at the Reagan Presidential library included his statue

    Trump Needs Conspiracy Theories
    The president uses them for political and personal ends. The damage he’s wrought along the way won’t be easily repaired.

    Trump Needs Conspiracy Theories

    excerpt:

    "A product of tabloid culture, Trump has long trafficked in conspiracy theories. But as chief executive, he’s used the machinery of government to give the ones especially useful to him the stamp of official validation. (That’s the main reason he now faces impeachment in the House.) These baseless theories are a way for Trump to explain away his problems and undercut opponents. Beyond that, though, they seem to serve distinct emotional needs, feeding a narcissistic ego that cold reality won’t satisfy. His efforts to persuade the public to go along with these self-protective myths have already corroded democratic institutions. The wreckage from that destructive legacy won’t be easily repaired after he leaves the stage.

    “We’ve never had a president who trades in conspiracy theories, who prefers lies instead of fact,” Douglas Brinkley, a history professor at Rice University and a presidential historian, told me.

    A U.S. president has at his disposal the most authoritative information available on Earth. Yet Trump doesn’t seem to want it. Disdainful of credentialed professionals, Trump has taken extraordinary steps, and spent taxpayer dollars, standing up dubious ideas of his own creation.

    In September, with Hurricane Dorian bearing down, Trump clung stubbornly to his claim that the storm’s path put Alabama in jeopardy. The reason isn’t entirely clear, but he may have wanted to come across as the savior of a loyal red state that turns out in force for his rallies. After a local office of the National Weather Service corrected him, the White House intervened, culminating in an official administration statement rebuking a scientific agency that had dared challenge the president’s bogus forecast."

    You can't fake professional wrestling when its already fake, and you can't have a tabloid culture when you never had any culture to begin with.
