Uncommon Sense

Foot, Meet Bullet

It is a good thing the modern GOP doesn’t understand or even recognize irony. Because if they did, their Irony Meters would break over this one. Apparently, President Trump has decided that the news media are to be banned from the Republican National Convention.

This comes from a president who was elected largely through billions of dollars of free advertising provided by the news media in the run-up to the 2016 election. the news media were so into being there to see what batshit crazy comments Candidate Trump would make now, that they covered every word he uttered. (MSNBC used a count-down timer on screen to time how long it was until Trump appeared again so you wouldn’t take bathroom breaks away from their channel. Yes, that MSNBC.)

Since people were in a state of “I can’t believe he said that out loud,” they tuned in for hours and both the GOP and the news media made money hand over fist.

So, Mr, Trump’s Brilliant Idea is to ban the news media from the single biggest free media event leading up to a presidential election.

Crack! Shit, there goes another Irony Meter. <sigh>

In the GOP lexicon, the antonym for greed is stupidity, I think.

  1. The orange idiot has become aware of his lying then? Afraid his own words (lies and more lies) might be used against him? Afraid his ignorant rambles might bite him in the ass? That ship sailed a long time ago for anyone with half a brain. The bad thing is there are so many brain deficient goobers that vote.

    The state of politics in this country I doubt has ever been at the low point of today. We need a D pres and a D Senate.

    May the blue tide wash away all of this insipid treachery.
