Today In Both Sides Do It: Ron Fournier, The Sad Clown of Centrism






Don't get Mr. Fournier wrong. He is very put out by Republican obstinacy
Republicans Won't Even Fake It
GOP leaders are skipping any pretense of working with Democrats or the White House.
But only because it momentarily screws up his Both Siderist grift by throwing off the rhythm of up his patter:
Here’s the irony: This level of obstinacy makes it impossible to hold Obama and other Democrats accountable for their own role in Washington’s dysfunction. I haven’t shied away from criticizing the president’s leadership or the unyielding liberal front presented by congressional Democrats. There are no white hats in Congress.
You know, I used to think that David Brooks was the heavyweight champ of never suffering ever tiniest professional or financial consequences for perpetrating this kind of openly ridiculous, Both Siderist bullshit year after year. But honestly, for sheer, relentless, robotic persistence -- for sheer mindless dedication to "dying with the lie" -- I'm starting to think that America's Sad Clown of Centrism is a real comer.

Fun's fun, and I despise Pernicious G as much as every decent person, but what the hell does Greenwald have to do with the Democrats? He agrees with Fournier that they are worser even than the Republicans.

You have your Marco Roboto and you have your RonRobot. Lazy and stupid people are unable to do anything other than repeating their mindless talking points regardless of whether they apply to a given situation or not. Fournier is definitely worse than DFB but his scope of punditry is so very much narrower and more tedious.

At least Ron "Severe Dementia" Fournier is being honest about his agenda for once. That's...something?

It is suspect that Ron F___ sees to select his "both sider topics to present.

I mean look at the political parties. Sanders and Cruz both want to rein in Wall Streets illegal excesses. Right?

Trump lies about on his Tweets and Hillary on her emails.

Both Rubio and Obama want to confirm a SCOTUS nominee.

I have actually heard reported that Harry Reid drank coffee and come to find out, so has Mitch McConnell.

But when it comes to Saint Ronnie, both sides are not the same. Reagan save the remaining marines at the barracks in Lebanon by moving them out to keep them safe. While that Muslim President left those unsuspecting civilian Americans in San Bernardino to languish and die at the hands of evil.

When news is entertainment, you can make shit up........and get paid for it.

When Trump bashes Mrs. Clinton for Mr. Clinton's NAFTA, how will she respond? Trump said he'd slap tariffs on companies, like Carrier, that move jobs to Mexico. What does Mrs. Clinton say? It has to be something meatier than that the President can't impose a tariff, even that would be true.
How can Hillary prove the both-siders wrong about jobs and wages?

Saying, Zathras would know. Zathras does not know, so *series of descending clicks* cannot say.

If she knows enough about what's going on, she'll ask him whether that includes his own clothing company. Again, though, I have no idea whether or not she knows enough to twist that particular knife.

On the Question;

Besides Neo's "she'll ask him whether that includes his own clothing company."

May I add,
Companies as Carrier will lose their Government contract. That contract will go to another A.C. manufacturer. Carrier can moved to Somalia but will not enjoy its Government contracts any more.

Of course any of these scenarios would be subjected to infection*s) by aaaaa certain majority in congress.
