The Fine Art of Churning Trump's Bullshit!
Lately it is said that Donald Trump has been quite entertaining now that he has been ordained the new GOP Thought Leader ever since the Party had to put down the 2008 Sarah Palin model after it got stuck in a word salad infinite loop of “steve king, he so strong, he goin’ rogue steve king, he so strong, he goin’ rogue steve king, he so strong, he goin’ rogue……..”
Now, I totally disagree. What I find more entertaining is watching seasoned news anchors, opinion writers/anchors, and reporters desperately trying to churn Trump's bullshit into something of material substance. This includes the likes of Chris Mathews, Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper and others on such notable networks as CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, etc. No need to mention FOX News because we’ve gotten use to the anchors at that network churning bullshit on a daily basis. But the hilarity always comes on Sunday when Chuck Todd and the other Sunday anchors actually sit and treat the bullshit or oratory vomit gushing from Trump’s lips as something coherent and substantive.
They tell us that Trump is outpacing the other candidates because he is saying what the GOP voter wants to hear and that according to the polls the voter is responding. So the media feels obligated to broadcast everything Trump says because somehow they believe that he is saying something relevant in face of the fact that Donald Trump hasn’t said anything substantive since officially entering the presidential race.
Here is what’s funny? If the heads of these news outlets were aware of what goes on around them or if they would bring more diversity into their newsrooms, they would know that what Donald Trump is engaging in is something known as Playing The Dozens. Here is a short explanation with the help of Wikipedia.
The Dozens is a game of spoken words between two contestants, common in African-American communities of the U.S., where participants insult each other until one gives up. It is customary for the Dozens to be played in front of an audience of bystanders, who encourage the participants to reply with more egregious insults to heighten the tension and, consequently, to be more interesting to watch. It is also known as "roasting", "capping", "clowning", "ranking", "ragging", "sounding", "checkin","joning", "woofing", "wolfing", "sigging", or "signifying", while the insults themselves are known as "snaps". (Oh Snap!).
Comments in the game focus on the opposite player's intelligence, appearance, competency, social status, financial status, and disparaging remarks about the other player's family members—mothers in particular ("yo′ mama...")—are common. Commentary is often related to sexual issues, where the game is then referred to as the "Dirty Dozens".
Sounds Familiar?
It is strange that the media hasn’t figured this out yet. Trump will always win and lead the polls because he is Playing The Dozens with 16 White-Bread GOP politicians who wouldn’t know how to effectively play the dozens if their political lives depended on it. Forget Ben Carson because Trump has already capped him by saying, “…we won’t have another Black president for a long time…”). Sorry Ben. And oh BTW Ben, using bible verses as comebacks when Playing The Dozens just won't work..
The media did not realize that when Trump said, "I always felt I was in the military", that he was referring to the mad skills he learned at the "reformatory school" he attended early in life. That semi-military academy prepared Trump for the face-to-face combat required for the comedic trash talking used in Playing The Dozens. If Trump had not been born with a silver foot in his mouth, he would have made a decent “gangsta rapper”.
Trump has attained the level of black belt in Playing The Dozens. He is far more effective than the GOP 2008 Palin model which didn’t have the intelligence, competency, social status, and financial status of the Trump model. I find it strange that they would roll the Palin model out for the rally against the Iran Deal. Please disambiguate the following nonsense that drooled out of the Palin model’s mouth.
“Only in an Orwellian Obama world full of sprinkly fairy dust blown from atop his unicorn as he’s peeking through a really pretty pink kaleidoscope would he ever see victory or safety for America or Israel in this treaty ... You don’t reward terrorism, you kill it.”
Damn!
News media! It is time for you to realize that Donald Trump is playing you for a fool. Please snap out of your laziness and realize that the orange clown is exactly that; a clown. The bullshit flowing from Trump’s lips isn’t something that you should be taking seriously and allocating so much of your valuable air time to. We know you are profit driven and that, what changes the channels or gets the clicks, is what you are going to show because you have become too damn lazy to research or investigate anything……anymore.
However, please don’t insult your viewer's intelligence by trying to churn Trump's bullshit into something meaningful.
