You know the Surgeon General doesn't actually perform surgery, right?

Yes, but at least Carson has some knowledge and experience in that subject.

Really? I thought he was an army general in charge of the medics?

Well, interestingly enough, the Surgeon General is in charge of one of the SEVEN Uniformed Services in the USA. (I think I posed this trivia question some time in the past year. Everyone should be able to name five of the seven, but two are obscure).

You *still* don't get that this wasn't a sporting event where your laundry won. There is an actual country to be run.

And you still don't get ... or won't admit ... that the opposition that would be his effectively rendered moot that reality. Trump was/is bad ... yes. He wasn't elected in a vacuum, and @YankeeFan ain't why.

Nah.

Look, I'm happy to disagree with and/or criticize Trump.

But, as usual, the criticism is over the top, exaggerated, and often wrong.

And, when the pool report says that the MLK bust has been removed from the Oval Office -- it wasn't -- the reporters want to get away with saying, "oops, sorry, we got it wrong."

It wasn't a lie. It wasn't fake news. Just a simple mistake. (Though, every mistake regarding Trump coverage seems to make him look bad, and not good. Why is that?)

But, if Trump or Spicer says something wrong, it's a LIE!!!! and he's damaging democracy!

The pool report regarding the CIA visit was wrong too. They first reported that they didn't know who the folks cheering were. Then they said they were folks in Trump's camp who accompanied him there. Then they had to admit that they were CIA employees, but helpfully pointed out that it was a self selected audience, who gained admission to the event through a lottery, so of course they would cheer Trump, but the top brass at the CIA did not cheer. (And, btw, if you listen to the audio, it's a lot of folks laughing and cheering, not just a couple of folks who may have been in Trump's entourage.)

And, holy fuck, the web was drowning in BuzzFeed posts like, 18 ways the Obama's renewed our faith in marriage, in the waning days of his presidency, but now we're getting tons of speculative posts about how Melania hates his guts.

It's disgusting. It's not news. It's designed to drag him down.

And, it's the same play book with every republican President. They're dumb. They're mean. Their marriage sucks. The campaign manager is evil -- and ugly.

Holy crap. When Dems win, their campaign managers/strategist are fucking geniuses and heroes. If a female campaign manager had gotten a Dem elected President, she'd be the toast of Washington D.C.

But, here's the biggest thing of all... the public sees through this now. It's why Trump won.

So, after 18 months of stories about how Trump's campaign is finished, and he can't win, we start of his presidency with stories about how it's already a total failure -- on day 2!

LOL.

He's doing great as far as his supporters are concerned.

We like his cabinet choices. We like his ending funding of foreign abortions. We like the idea of building the Dakota and Keystone pipelines. We like the meetings he's already had with manufacturers, auto execs, and labor. We're excited about who he's going to pick to join the SCOTUS.

We have no problem with his press secretary calling on a reporter from the NY Post, as opposed to the AP -- oh, the sacrilege!

And, the media, obsessing over crowd size, and then accusing Trump of obsessing over crowd size just makes us laugh.

Heck, this NYTimes reporter was upset yesterday, when reporters were asking questions about policy, instead of crowd size!

Being totally serious: If reporters at my shop were this dedicated to generating story ideas and forming angles for their stories, we'd be a 10-times better newspaper.

You missed your calling, YF. Put down your espresso machine tools and I will make you a reporter of men!
