Welcome to another episode of TMM… A sort of multi-episode portion on spin doctors, "Analysts", talking heads and Conspiracy theorists. How they're different and how they're basically the same only some wear fancy suits, have hair and makeup and have a cable news show, while others are conspiracy theorist's that get banned from social media from the idiot Alex Jones all the way to the Conspiracy Theorist in Chief on Pennsylvania Avenue. He's run his first campaign on Conspiracies and he's running his re-election on it. And let's agree for this moronic program that some… SOME conspiracies are true. Most are probably not.. But there is a whole spectrum of conspiracies that have partial truths to them and those truths are used to build the narrative that the snake oil salesmen and women want you to believe. Some are really, really good salespeople, like the folks on CNN and FOX and some are not so good or are even down right terrible… and deciding which salesperson you want to believe is as subjective as deciding which comedian is funny or which artist is worthy of the highest praise. For example, Is it irony that some of Jackson Pollack's most famous paintings are also used to refer to cases of diarrhea? Interesting.
We talk more about Alex Jones, a guy who's made his living on conspiracy theories and who is a community college drop out.
We talk about Rush Limbaugh… another college dropout after two semesters from Missouri State. Directly from his Wikipedia page, take that for what it's worth:
According to his mother, "he flunked everything [...] he just didn't seem interested in anything except radio." Biographer Zev Chafets believes that a large part of Limbaugh's life has been dedicated to gaining his father's respect and approval.
Does that remind you of anyone?
Sean Hannity gets mentioned at one point. He is a political commentator on Fox News and has attended New York University, UC Santa Barbara, and Adelphi University, but did not graduate. Darn it… but we are getting closer to a conservative pundit that does have a college degree. There are plenty I assure you.
For some moronic reason I sent the Senator Part of my opening for this episode and in it I include a list of people who have pretty large platforms to spout their opinions. I guess the questions is, when do opinions and the people selling them turn into something more… apparently the Senator thinks I'm being a bit harsh? Let's find out as we drop in on a conversation between two Morons...
CLOSE: We really bagged on a lot of people in our, or my, self righteous indignation and I'm sure they will all lose a lot of sleep over it, but I do want to point something out about some of the personalities we've bagged on over the past couple of episodes…
I bagged on Alex Jones… community college drop out after about a semester. I bagged on Rush Limbaugh, college dropout. Sean Hannity who we did not talk about but is a prominent figure of Fox… no college degree. And myself with the most advanced education among us three idiots with a bachelor's degree in business administration on the five -year-program.
And then there's Rachel Maddow… she is not a college dropout. She attended a community college called Stanford University. And got a doctorate degree in political science from Oxford University so… whatever Rachel… whatever…. Yes, the ultimate comeback.
Who else… Nancy Pelosi, the queen of passive aggressive nastiness with a scalpel… because she's good at it. But it's still passive aggressive and it's definitely not "holy" as she purports to strive for. And at the same time, can you imagine having to deal with Trump unless you're an absolute yes man or yes person? If you don't kiss his ass and agree with every word that dribbles from his mouth you end up in a juvenile name calling like you're on a playground and you're labeled mentally ill or you have mental problems. Jeff Sessions, who I couldn't stand in the first place and seemed to be showering with Trump is now "mentally unqualified." Doesn't that make Trump mentally unqualified since he's the one who appointed Sessions?
