By the people getting all upset because they think what used to be simply the "ok sign" is being wiped out for faux politically correct reasons. 

 

Yeah.  That's something that firefighter recruits should have on their minds when posing for a group picture.

 

I already said the point is moo - this picture is from before all the media attention

I'm saying that these guys would be stupid to do that now.  In January 2020.  What would be the point?  

 

Who the hell cares? If everyone understood what it was instead of what social media tried to make it, not a single person would give a care.

 

You're arguing either (a) they're being immature with an immature game and should grow up, or (b) they should stop doing something that they think is funny because someone with twisted panties tried to redefine the gesture because they're too busy looking for racism to actually understand what racism looks like.

 

Either way, you're trying to dictate their actions based on your thoughts.

 

Bad form. They can do what the hell they want and if you don't like it, you can ignore it.

Adam Schiff will ‘walk all over’ them: David Brooks warns heavy-hitters Alan Dershowitz, Ken Starr

by Frieda Powers

 

Original Article

 

New York Times columnist David Brooks can’t believe who has joined President Donald Trump’s impeachment legal defense team and thinks their careers will be negatively impacted. Brooks warned that Rep. Adam Schiff will “just walk all over” the prominent legal experts announced who will be part of laying out Trump’s defense in the Senate impeachment trial. The newest additions according to reports on Friday include Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz and former independent counsel in the Whitewater investigation, Ken Starr. [Video] Speaking Friday on “PBS NewsHour,” Brooks revealed he already considered Trump guilty.

THE NEW YORK TIMES NEVER DISAPPOINTS!

There’s a joke from way back in the 1980s about how the major media would report the announcement that the world is going to end tomorrow.

The Wall Street Journal’s headline would say, “World Ending Tomorrow; Markets to Close Early.” 

USA Today’s headline would say, “World Ending Tomorrow, but We’ll Grin and Bear It.”

And the New York Times headline would say: “World Ending Tomorrow: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit.”

 

Lo and behold, here is a real New York Times headline from two days ago:

It’s like they’re trying to put the Babylon Bee out of business or something.

 

Meanwhile, the Times has announced its endorsement for president. Big surprise: they have endorsed a Democrat. As they have for the last 50+ years. But wait—they’ve actually endorsed two Democrats: Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren. The Times is calling it a “break with convention,” but it is exactly the opposite: clearly they cannot endorse a white male, no matter how experienced or qualified. Nothing is more conventional for liberalism today than the default to identity politics.

 

The Times endorsement essay offers some wonderful comedy writing, such as: “Senator Warren is a gifted storyteller.” Did no one at the Times pause for a moment to ponder how true this is?

 

And this passage about Klobuchar is fun: “Reports of how Senator Klobuchar treats her staff give us pause. They raise serious questions about her ability to attract and hire talented people.” Well, New York Times editorial writers obviously don’t have to worry about finding out first hand.

Journalists are often awful people, and nearly always spineless conformists.

Silly question.  The reporters complaining about having to go thru a metal detector haven't been to an airport because they never leave the DC Bubble.  Flyover Country is only something they heard about from their colleagues that travel between the DC/NY/California Bubbles

But most just travel on the bullet trains from DC to Wilmington, Philadelphia, Trenton, NYC, Providence, and Boston. Oh, and Sacramento to the Mojave Desert.
