The local radio wingnut chided me that TWITLER was "elected by THE VOTERS" not Rethugs

Does he really want to go there?! O.K., he went, so here’s what he left himself open to: HITLER was ELECTED, too!

That said, he has been pushing the delusion that TWITLER is the embodiment of the Will of some huge segment of the population, a mandate. Uh, they protest too much since nobody is questioning the legitimacy of his being installed on the basis of the Electoral College. It’s a separate issue to say that he won on the basis of an archaic and un-democratic mechanism. He won on the basis of a few tens of thousands of votes vs three millions.

What is more significant is how TWITLER has exposed the cravenness of his supporters, their lack of convictions, their willingness to wreck the country for the sake of imposing their prejudices of culture/economics/lack-of-vision on everybody else. Their hypocrisy is multi-dimensional: “christians” following a depraved pervert; a “reporter” who used to claim he was BIG on the First Amendment willing to ditch it; “liberty/patriots” craving to impose their parochial views on everybody else.

So here’s “ART” by TWITLER, except that his hero/HITLER had more talent. TWITLER doesn’t even know that the proceeds of the auction will go to National Public Radio, if it still exists.

Trump’s sketch of Empire State Building up for auction


.... Julien’s said the signed piece went for less than $100 the first time it was sold — but is now estimated at $8,000 to $12,000.

The auction house says a portion of the proceeds of any sale will benefit National Public Radio.

And with a ton of GOP voter suppression.



Really though if you're on right wing radio you should be discussing the GOP ties to their billionaire donors. That's their Achilles heel. No matter what question the host asks, talk about the Koches and Murdoch and Mercer and how they're all buying politicans, to destroy the govt, to get tax cuts for the wealthy. The healthcare bills are a great example.

3. Oh, all they've been talking about all last week was WEINSTEIN, like he's The Democrat.

To be clear, WEINSTEIN's crimes and abuses of power are HIS OWN THING, not a Democratic Party thing. Like when Jim JONES got himself photographed with Roselyn CARTER, nothing to do with Roselyn CARTER.

So moving on from that, they beat the Benghazi horse for years, while now they skip on past the hundreds of personal and national abuses of TWITLER.

Are the real problem.


Also this propanganda on right wing hate radio is a huge problem. If we don't fix radio propaganda America is in serious trouble.
