    He must be a true patriot because he's standing up for the common man against the great Jewish media cabal. Or something like that. Conservative hero Chris Jones believes in such things, which means they're true.

    And it got him the same role in the administration as Rudy and Christie.

    Lede of the Month comes from Deadspin:

    Rick Perry, a swaggering idiot who found a pair of glasses on the street one day,
    is about to become the head of the Department of Energy, according to CBS News.

    Bonus points for the photo.

    So Elizabeth Warren tore into Whitney Tilson on twitter. All of the populist, class warfare nonsense she specializes in. He is a "hedge fund billionaire" who is "thrilled by Donald Trump’s economic team of Wall Street insiders.

    “Tilson knows that, despite all the stunts and rhetoric, Donald Trump isn’t going to change the economic system.”

    “The next four years are going to be a bonanza for the Whitney Tilsons of the world.”

    She's a moron.

    Whitney Tilson is not a billionaire (which has become the new reflex word that automatically makes anyone you want to demonize into a monster). He's also a lifelong member of her party. He supported Hillary Clinton. He supported Dodd-Frank and the CFPB. He helped start Teach for America. He even gave $1,000 to Clinton's campaign so he could see Warren speak at a campaign fund-raiser during the campaign.

    Apparently she read something, didn't understand that he was the one in the article speaking out against Trump, and she launched into her clown show act.

    She's everything about Donald Trump that people complain about. Take a knee-jerk stance, resort to ad hominem attacks against people who haven't done anything except live their lives, create endless boogeyman that you try to rally everyone against (with you as the solution who is going to manage people's lives for them). ... and don't let actual facts get in the way.

    BTW, the Rex Tillerson nomination was officially announced a little while ago.

    Democrats make fun of Trump for selecting Ben Carson to run HUD due to inexperience, but have a tantrum every time someone in finance is appointed to deal with ... finance.

    That's in Fort Worth ... that's an Indycar driver behind him (and those are Speedway Motorsports logos to his right). The pistol is a Texas Motor Speedway thing (winning drivers get a ceremonial pair).
