This Is How Republicans Think

With brutal cold here to stay, Trump extols the virtues of global warming
Frigid temperatures are expected to grip much of the upper Great Plains and Northeast through the New Year — a forecast that President Donald Trump used to cast doubt on global warming.


It's official: the average penguin has a better understanding of climate change than Donald Trump does. - Andy Borowitz




The World Is A Safer Place Without Saddam Trump



Trump told NYT, “There is no collusion, and even if there was, it’s
not a crime.” Oops, he made a lie sandwich w/a light confession
filling! - Bette Midler


The Greatest Country In The World Can't Restore All The Power To A 100 Mile By 30 Mile Island In 100 Days
On the 100-day mark since Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico, San Juan’s Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz called federal response to the storm inadequate while slamming President Donald Trump as the “disaster-in-chief.”

New York Times Interviews Trump: Sarah Palin Was Asked Harder Questions By Katie Couric
TRUMP: We’re going to win another four years for a lot of reasons, most importantly because our country is starting to do well again and we’re being respected again. But another reason that I’m going to win another four years is because newspapers, television, all forms of media will tank if I’m not there because without me, their ratings are going down the tubes. Without me, The New York Times will indeed be not the failing New York Times, but the failed New York Times. So they basically have to let me win. And eventually, probably six months before the election, they’ll be loving me because they’re saying, “Please, please, don’t lose Donald Trump.” O.K.



Wrong/dangerous. Trump doesn’t have absolute rights with DOJ. But women and men there have ABSOLUTE duty to follow Constitution and rule of law - not a man. Career DOJ people have ABSOLUTE right to defy illegal orders. And they will. I know them.- Eric Holder

As we count down to the new year, we get to reflect and prepare for what’s ahead. For all the bad news that seemed to dominate our collective consciousness, there are countless stories from this year that remind us what's best about America. - Barack Obama

MMM = Misogynistic Mainstream Media

Study: Mainstream Media Acted as Trump’s Mouthpiece, Clinton’s Foe
A study from Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center provides overwhelming evidence that the mainstream media were instrumental in electing Donald Trump. The key takeaway:“Donald Trump succeeded in shaping the election agenda. Coverage of Trump overwhelmingly outperformed coverage of Clinton. Clinton’s coverage was focused on scandals, while Trump’s coverage focused on his core issues.”


“Why are Trump supporters more offended by 
“Happy Holidays” than by “Grab 'em by the Pussy”?

Why Would A Russian Hacker Plant Evidence He Hacked The DNC?
A Russian hacker who defied Vladimir Putin by claiming he hacked the Democratic National Committee on orders from a high-level Russian security official now says he planted personal details in DNC servers that can prove he was behind the break-in—a detail that, if true, strengthens his claim about the Russians' meddling in the 2016 election.

Church Of England Calls Out Fake Christians 
A senior Church of England bishop has lambasted conservative evangelical Christians in the US for their “uncritical support” of Donald Trump, urging them to reflect on how their endorsement of the president relates to their faith... and added there was no justification for Christians contradicting God’s teaching to protect the poor and the weak.

Blue State Forced To Pay For Red States
New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo charged Republicans Thursday with intentionally crafting their tax bill to target Democratic-leaning states to pay for tax cuts that benefit Republicans.
"This tax provision hits the blue states by eliminating the state and local tax deductibility and uses that money to finance the tax cut in the red states," Cuomo said

The FBI Needs A Better Cyber Team

FBI Software For Analyzing Fingerprints Contains Russian-Made Code, Whistleblowers Say
In a secret deal, a French company purchased code from a Kremlin-connected firm, incorporated it into its own software, and hid its existence from the FBI, according to documents and two whistleblowers. The allegations raise concerns that Russian hackers could compromise law enforcement computer systems.


And to think, Rex Tillerson dismantled the State Department's cyber team.

A Viewer's comment on the 12-26 edition

Republicans don't care what he does. If he killed someone on 5th Avenue, Republicans would say the person had it coming. They all belong in jail.  - Chelsea Handler

and

Hillary Clinton could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and do nothing, and they would say she shot somebody. - Brian Krassenstein

***

If these get put together (with a John Mulaney), we get a statement closer to reality:

Trump stands on 5th Avenue, and someone randomly gets shot 3 blocks away while he's standing there. In reality, he did nothing, but he tweets he shot the victim because they were a Homeless Liberal Gay Haitian Muslim Immigrant with Aids (who was new in town). Hillary Clinton, who was in Wisconsin at the time, gets blamed by the GOP and 5 senators call for an investigation of her because the emails will prove she did it. - Gretchen

Obama And Hillary Remain #1
Americans once again are most likely to name Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as the man and woman living anywhere in the world they admire most, as they have for the past 10 years. The pair retain their titles this year, although by much narrower margins than in the past. Obama edges out Donald Trump, 17% to 14%, while Clinton edges out Michelle Obama, 9% to 7%.




If I were Hillary my next book would be titled Y'all Can Go F-ck Yourselves.- Jeff Tiedrich
