I read the news today, oh boy

You need a sense of humor to read the news today:

Bloomberg:

Long a voracious consumer of cable news, Trump has cut back how much he watches CNN and MSNBC in recent weeks, having sworn off the latter network’s “Morning Joe” after criticism from its hosts, according to a senior White House aide privy to the president’s viewing habits.

Instead, the president now spends hours some mornings watching Fox News, switching occasionally to CNBC for business headlines, along with a daily diet of newspapers and press clippings, said the official, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. On the evenings when he doesn’t have a dinner or briefing, Trump will spend most of his TV-viewing time watching Fox News shows hosted by Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity, the aide said.

I always wondered what kind of person watches Sean Hannity.  Now I know.  (What would Scott Adams say?)

Yahoo.com:

On Wednesday night, The Washington Post was the first to report on a private meeting between Sessions and Russian ambassador to the US. Sergey Kislyak, which took place in the senator’s office last September. The discussions could fuel new congressional calls for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Russia’s alleged role in the 2016 presidential election and the suspected hacking campaign, according to the Post.

All of the sudden, the news media isn’t talking about Trump’s speech anymore, as it seems the Attorney General lied under oath when asked about contact with Russian officials.

This one probably pre-dates Trump:

Americans should be forced to apply for visas to travel to Europe, the European Parliament has said, in response to Washington refusing to allow all Europeans to travel to the States visa-free.

The WSJ:

WASHINGTON—Republicans blocked a Democratic attempt to obtain President Donald Trump ’s tax returns late Monday.

In a 229-185 procedural vote, the House of Representatives stopped a resolution from Rep. Bill Pascrell (D., N.J.) that would have requested the president’s tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service.

All Democrats voted with Mr. Pascrell. All Republicans voted against him, except for Reps. Walter Jones (R., N.C.) and Mark Sanford (R., S.C.), who voted present.

Undoubtedly the vote would have been identical with a Democratic president, as all our Congressmen and women are principled solons.  And the response of my loyal commenters will be completely uncorrelated with their political affiliation.  “This is about privacy.”  “This is about getting to the truth.”  There are principles involved here . . . somewhere.

And this:

A young woman in the process of renewing her permission as a “Dreamer” to remain in the United States legally was arrested Wednesday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement after speaking at a press conference where she urged President Donald Trump to protect people like her. Now two Democratic senators want answers.

Daniela Vargas, 22, was detained by ICE agents who pulled over a friend’s car on a nearby freeway after she left a coalition of clergy members, civil rights lawyers and other advocates for immigrants at Jackson City Hall, according to one of her lawyers, Nathan Elmore.

Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

    ‘All of the sudden, the news media isn’t talking about Trump’s speech anymore, as it seems the Attorney General lied under oath when asked about contact with Russian officials.’

    I hope the Trump advisers who were responsible for the tone of his speech are happy now.

    Jeff Sessions was not asked if he’d EVER met with a Russian during his confirmation hearings. Apparently too difficult a point for The Enemies of the American People to understand. I.e., Sessions was on THE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE.

    Here’s the actual exchange (via C-Span):

    ————quote———–
    Franken: CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week, that included information that “Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump.” These documents also allegedly say “there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.” Again, I’m telling you this as it’s coming out, so you know. But if it’s true, it’s obviously extremely serious, and if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?

    Sessions: Senator Franken, I’m not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians, and I’m unable to comment on it.
    ————endquote———-

    Note the question asked was about this, “there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.”

    Not about normal diplomatic meetings between an ambassador and a Senator on the SFRC. It doesn’t even depend on what the meaning of ‘is’, is.

    Patrick,

    to be on the foreign relations committee sure is a nice cover to do all sorts of things while maintaining perfect deniability.

    Either way, if the accusations against the Trump campaign are truly baseless, surely you’d agree that they should eagerly rush to clear their own names in an investigation as neutral and squeaky clean as feasible, i.e. NOT tainted by members under even the hint of suspicion? There’s no other way – w/o an investigation of this kind, no one will ever completely trust Trump and his staff on the Russia matter.

    Trump? When he has a truly good or truly bad idea, no one seems to care.

    Paring back national intelligence agencies? Trump proposed so, received no support from punditry or his own party.

    Another $54 billion for “national security”? No one seems to oppose it.

    The Sessions story is fake news, as Patrick pointed out

    Add on:

    President Trump, who sometimes blurts out the truth in his bombast, said in his address to Congress that $6 trillion has been spent in the Mideast, which could have spent on US infrastructure.

    “America has spent approximately six trillion dollars in the Middle East, all this while our infrastructure at home is crumbling. With this six trillion dollars we could have rebuilt our country –- twice.”–Trump.

    To be accurate. Trump should have said “spent and incurred obligations for $6 trillion in Iraq and Afghanistan” as some of the $6 trillion is for pending VA benefits and debt payments.

    On the other hand, much of military outlays that might be pro-rated to the Mideast are not.

    My point?

    Trump is the only GOP’er, and maybe the only D.C. pol of either party, able to make this un-PC observation.

    He deserves accolades from the punditry on this one point. There should be resonance here, amplification. Instead, Trump’s observation on this score is met with stony silence, or largely ignored–while people snivel about what TV shows he watches.

    Egads–Trump, our enfant terrible needs adulation and support, but gets none when he is right.

    You know, a few $trillion here, and few $trillion there, and pretty soon you are talking about real money. Let alone unspeakable yet evidently counter-productive carnage.

    If Trump can avoid an Afghanistan, an Iraq, a Vietnam, will he rank higher or lower than a LBJ, Nixon, Bush jr?

    I would say higher. Trump is hardly the worst of the lot.

    RedState makes a good point about NYT. NYT chose to publish a newsworthy quote from Claire McCaskill saying she never met with the Russians.

    Later sleuthing determined that McCaskill has indeed met with the Russians at least twice, but perhaps forgot about it. The NYT deleted the still newsworthy quote without even a correction notice.

    The minor sin was NYT’s lack of transparency, failing to disclose the edit or the new information to the reader.

    But the bigger sin is NYT’s decision to publish McCaskill’s quote when it supported the “Sessions/Trump are Russian spies” narrative, but to bury the quote when it supported the “Senators regularly meet with Ambassadors” narrative. It’s newsworthy either way, but thanks to Internet revisions, we got to watch the NYT editing process in real time.

    NYT makes hundreds of these decisions every day, which means the intelligentsia readership are just derps with confirmation bias. It’s important to acknowledge the insidious nature of media bias; it isn’t just slant or tone; it’s getting a cherry picked subset of facts specifically filtered for liberal politics. No different from relying on Hannity for Conservative thought.

    “Right on cue, the George Soros-financed MoveOn.org progressive activist group on Thursday organized a protest outside the U.S. Department of Justice building calling for the resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.”

    “The protest was organized fairly quickly. It was held mere hours after reports surfaced that Sessions held two conversations with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. while he was Alabama’s senator and served on the Armed Services Committee. Sessions maintains that the conversations did not concern the 2016 presidential campaign.”

    LOL, this was a planned hit job from the progressive money laundering pedophile establishment.

    Speaking of Scott Adams, today he links to something apposite;

    http://blog.dilbert.com/post/157904840851/dopamine-puppets

    ———quote——
    The gist of it is that the brain gets some sort of chemical payoff from outrage, and we seek it when we’re otherwise bored with life. Politics serves up lots of outrage opportunities. That’s why we are drawn to it – for the high.

    We rationalize that we are fighting the good fight and making the world better. But mostly it just feels good to get worked up about issues and share the experience with like-minded dopamine addicts.

    The Dopamine Puppet idea is compatible with what I call the Persuasion Filter. This view on life says we do things for chemical rewards and we rationalize those choices after the fact as being totally reasonable. Our sense of reason is an illusion when it comes to most of our actions.

    We do use reason to narrow our options. For example, you don’t try to marry a dead person, and you don’t try to get a job with a company that no longer exists. But our final decisions are generally based on some sort of feeling, not logic.

    Here’s a nice illustration of the problem with ‘news’;

    https://thefederalist.com/2017/02/06/16-fake-news-stories-reporters-have-run-since-trump-won/

    ————-quote———–
    During her confirmation hearing, education secretary nominee Betsy DeVos was asked whether schools should be able to have guns on their campuses. As NBC News reported, DeVos felt it was “best left to locales and states to decide.” She pointed out that one school in Wyoming had a fence around it to protect the students from wildlife. “I would imagine,” she said, “that there’s probably a gun in the school to protect from potential grizzlies.”

    This was an utterly noncontroversial stance to take. DeVos was simply pointing out that different states and localities have different needs, and attempting to mandate a nationwide one-size-fits-all policy for every American school is imprudent.

    How did the media run with it? By lying through their teeth. “Betsy DeVos Says Guns Should Be Allowed in Schools. They Might Be Needed to Shoot Grizzlies” (Slate). “Betsy DeVos: Schools May Need Guns to Fight Off Bears” (The Daily Beast). “Citing grizzlies, education nominee says states should determine school gun policies” (CNN). “Betsy DeVos says guns in schools may be necessary to protect students from grizzly bears” (ThinkProgress.) “Betsy DeVos says guns shouldn’t be banned in schools … because grizzly bears” (Vox). “Betsy DeVos tells Senate hearing she supports guns in schools because of grizzly bears” (The Week). “Trump’s Education Pick Cites ‘Potential Grizzlies’ As A Reason To Have Guns In Schools” (BuzzFeed).

    The intellectual dishonesty at play here is hard to overstate. DeVos never said or even intimated that every American school or even very many of them might need to shoot bears. She merely used one school as an example of the necessity of federalism and as-local-as-possible control of the education system.

    Rather than report accurately on her stance, these media outlets created a fake news event to smear a reasonable woman’s perfectly reasonable opinion.

    You have a great sense of humor. It’s a double joke as Trump doesn’t prepare for anyone, he has too big an ego. And if he did, Hannity would be the last person in the universe he’d feel a need to prepare for. He watches Hannity because Hannity is likes Trump and talks at the same level as Trump. And what level is that?

    And yes, Hannity is far worse than those other reporters you name—isn’t that obvious? Or is your dopamine addiction clouding your judgment?

    Scott Adams’ talents are not the type that would address why Trump watches Hannity, or why he tells the media he watches Hannity. He does so in part because Hannity is very pro-Trump, and Trump supports pro-Trump. He talks good about Fox in part to get more people to watch Fox and get more people on the Trump Train.

    Regarding Scott Adams’ talents, try reading only what he covers through his “persuasion filter.” He’s one of the very few people who covers this area of psychology.
