Chuck Toad. Useless waste of space or just incompetent ?

Tonight Boris Ephsteyn, as any Trump scumbag would do, told disgusting lie after disgusting lie about Hillary and Toad barely raised his white flag. And he gets a flagship program while Joy Reid is booted to the weekend ? Where's the logic in that ? Joy would never have let that scumbag get away with what he did.

And a host of a political show.

It's not his job to chase the truth, it's his job to gin up some drama so people keep tuning in.

He's just interested in keeping his job ~

His perspective begins and ends there I believe.

My vote: waste of space

Warning, the sarcasm flag is going to be flown way high throughout this reply. Let the easily offended turn their eyes away, and then hopefully refrain for asking for help when the world they pretend does not exist claims them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Todd

i.e. he did not even finish his college degree. Yet, he gains access to the media's high halls of power, why? Because as long as he can do it, anyone with the "complexion that makes connections" can, whereas Joy Reid just need to know her place, ya know (heavy sarcasm flag flown way high)

Seriously, what does it say that this punk never even had to finish his degree, yet HE got doors opened?

Oh, but despite not even finishing a degree:

"Todd is an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University.[14] He is the author of The Stranger: Barack Obama in the White House. Published in 2014, the Chicago Tribune described the book as "richly sourced and deeply informed," while Publishers Weekly called it "an even-handed, concise, and thorough account."[15] Todd is also co-author, with Sheldon Gawiser, of How Barack Obama Won: A State-by-State Guide to the Historic 2008 Presidential Election, published in 2009.[16]"

Please, do not tell me that there is no such thing as white privilege. Melissa Harris Perry grew up near Todd, actually graduating from the university he is a professor at, then got her Phd, and yet the way she was disposed of was shameful. Todd wants to project and protect the idea that someone like him (complexion and connections) is always going to be worth more than a mere African American Phd.

Why would he care what people on the left think of him? He has people on the right, including his bosses who think he is just great.

to any right-wing screwball. Some people are empty suits; Todd is empty skin.

treated like a demented Pied Piper by Toad, Tweety bird Matthews and Greenspan's wife, all agents of the perception management that have brought us to
this pathetic campaign 2016 .
