I think most journalists behave like a herd...

...of docile bovines. I lost the last tattered shred of respect I had for the few members of the MSM who seemed to have a modicum of integrity when they didn't resign en masse as a matter of principle rather than cravenly submit to being forced to cover Trump campaign events from human cattle pens after their bosses openly admitted that they preferred ratings and profits to the quaint notion of journalistic ethics and standards.

Shallow empty suit, spent his entire time in office party building - making speeches to fill his party's bank accounts, intentionally spreading divisiveness to pit us against each other, loading up the bureaucracy with similar left wing twit ideologues, importing future Democrat voters who have little to offer the country and who the rest of us don't want. 

I agree with every part of that statement. This was an astonishingly damaging and awful presidency. And the asshole won't quit, I'm sure we'll see another round of 3 or 4 thousand regulations tossed out in one shot to make things difficult for Trump before this nightmare ends.

And the people who voted him in and supported this ''hope and change'' phony every step of the way are tut-tuting the rest of us because we wouldn't go along with Hilary this time around.

Yeah, but you know, they're sounding really hollow and extreme this time around. I'm in the mid-west and I'm hearing union Joe Sixpack types motherfucking the Democrats and supporting Trump. That would not have happened for any other Republican candidate and may have tilted the electoral college towards the Republicans for decades to come. If the Republican Party realizes that social conservatism doesn't resonate well with anyone under 40 and goes with a more libertarian approach to politics from here on out -- I'm not saying abandon old conservative platforms, rather put the focus somewhere else like the economy - then the liberals as we know them are cooked.

Hoagland's an immortal.
At least his hair is.  He must have sold his soul to the torsion field.

Yeah, see, look at the strange lit up device he has behind him in that picture. Who knows what that thing does. Hoagland's an immortal alien. And a bullshit artist.

But hey, put it in the briefing anyway! Fucking maroons.

This is the establishment's (politicians and entrenched bureaucrats ) effort  to take some of the wind out of Trump's sails.  His energy and initiative scare the shit out of them because it  threatens to upset their little rice bowls.  If anyone thinks this is not an orchestrated effort by official Washington (Dems and Reps) to stem his building momentum they are lacking in perception or are so hard over in their hatred of Trump that they don't care what kind of skulduggery is employed to stop him.

It's the Accutron charger. Or a salt lamp, one or the other.

That device looks like something from the Outer Limits.  It's probably Hoagie's alien control voice.

It's definitely not a charger, Hoagland would have no idea how to operate that sort of thing and as I recall the accutron was a gift from Cronkite back in the 60's. High technology it is not. Now a salt lamp fits, but the thing is Hoagland likes to modify objects so I'm guessing it's either a sex toy for him and Robin or an immortality emitter. Or a force field to hold the hair together.

They well should care, because hundreds of thousands of people who had never heard of a "golden shower" before now just Joogled it, and tens of thousands more are now considering trying it out on a slow weekend as a lark.

I heard it from a friend.

It's obviously a stylized phallus that he uses as a a focal point for worship as he has been instructed by his alien masters.

Identity of "Former Intelligence Officer" revealed.

Quote from: washington examiner.com
Christopher Steele, a former British Intelligence officer who works for a private security firm, produced the dossier about President-elect Trump that contained unverified allegations about reported ties to Russia, according to a new report.

Steele, who is a director of Orbis Business Intelligence, a London-based private security firm, prepared the dossier, which has come under fire from the president-elect and his allies since BuzzFeed News published it Tuesday. The dossier alleges that the Russian government has evidence that could compromise Trump and leave him open to blackmail, and that members of the president-elect's team met with Kremlin officials during the campaign.

When reached multiple times for interview requests by the Wall Street Journal through an intermediary, Steele declined, saying that the topic was "too hot." Christopher Burrows, who is one of two directors of the firm, along with Steele, would not "confirm or deny" that the firm produced the dossier, which Trump slammed during his highly-anticipated press conference on Wednesday.

Funny side note-
Quote from: govtslavesinfo
Courtesy of the WSJ, we now know his name: the former MI-6 officer, now working for a private security-and-investigations firm “who produced the dossier of unverified allegations about President-elect Donald Trump’s activities and connections in Russia” is Christopher Steele, a director of London-based Orbis Business Intelligence…. and before readers google him, beware, there is a male gay porn star with the same name, who may or may not be into “golden showers.”

Wait ... is that what that is? Remember during one of the earliest shows he claimed to have some sort of strange creature living in the studio? Looks to me like the somebitch has ferrets running around the house or something.

Heaven forbid.  Imagine the impact that this sort of thing might have on things like church attendance and NFL viewership if a significant number of people decided that they would rather spend their time pissing on each other?

I missed that bit of Hoagie lore!  Are you sure you're not confusing it with Art's mouse?

Definitely not. It was within the first month or so he opened one night with a vague statement about finding a creature in the studio worthy of further study. At the time I wondered if it was his dog, he mentioned that too at one point. The thing is Hoagland would tell these weird half stories and never follow up with what actually happened. The naked maidens, the night at the metal club, the creature in the studio etc.

Was the maidens also the orgy story?

Absolutely, sweetie darling! There's no difference. Even though we look fabulous enough to pass for people half our ages, we're old enough to remember when there was a distinct line between journalism and entertainment. The talking heads we have today are nothing but info celebrities who get and keep their jobs by being as inoffensive and consumer friendly as possible. I have to believe that Edward R. Murrow, Mike Wallace, or Walter Cronkite would have downed a bottle of single malt Scotch and then slit their wrists in a warm bathtub rather than debase themselves like Anderson Cooper by hosting New Year's Eve from Times Square and playing childish grabass games with Kathy Griffin.

Cheers and air kisses!

Fascinating!  When he comes back we need to make a concerted effort to pry this out of him.  Too bad we chased away our only stooge who actually called him.

I miss the dignity that journalists once had and how hard they would work to actually earn a Pulitzer Prize.   

Cheers, sweetie- I'll let you Hoggie fans go on uninterrupted.    :) :-*

  ;D Nah- I'd rather not read any more of that. Does Hoggie still do a show? I've lost track of him and I'm a little surprised that he didn't mend fences with George. I can't imagine that he wouldn't want to be on the "big show" once again.

He is supposed to be back after the inauguration.  He has a new digital book out, too.

Though there were criticisms even back then. Also a mention of Eric Sevareid should be mentioned in the "good old days" of reporters and "Murrow Boys." Though he also participated in commentary and even "fake news" (not really but would appear in TV movies playing a "real report"*)
*http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087090/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_7

He also though had a very interesting book as a youth about canoeing where he as a young man would periodically send letters back to the local paper on his journey. 
https://www.amazon.com/Canoeing-Cree-Anniversary-Eric-Sevareid/dp/0873515331/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484197341&sr=8-1&keywords=canoeing++with+the+cree

"In 1930 two novice paddlersâ€"Eric Sevareid and Walter C. Portâ€"launched a secondhand 18-foot canvas canoe into the Minnesota River at Fort Snelling for an ambitious summer-long journey from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay. Without benefit of radio, motor, or good maps, the teenagers made their way over 2,250 miles of rivers, lakes, and difficult portages. Nearly four months later, after shooting hundreds of sets of rapids and surviving exceedingly bad conditions and even worse advice, the ragged, hungry adventurers arrived in York Factory on Hudson Bayâ€"with winter freeze-up on their heels. First published in 1935, Canoeing with the Cree is Sevareid's classic account of this youthful odyssey."
