Incidentally, the Huffington Post published this cartoon on their Web site because they thought it was a pithy poke at Trump. This is the same Huffington Post that thinks its readers should view them as realistic rather than partisan, and intelligent rather than stupid.

Even most of the bad political cartoons are still pretty good, because of the way the art form is presented. It's just a drawing containing a commentary expressing the artist's opinion. The good ones combine artistic skill with hyperbole and biting satire to question authority and/or draw attention to corruption, political violence and social ills. Some are just brilliant.

I saw her a while back on Tucker's show. She had trouble defending some of the Twitter posts from some of the 'journalists' at the NYTimes. Probably wasn't the most popular person over there. And now she has been let go.

The NY Times removed the thorn in their side, the thumbtack on their seat, the paper cuts on the tips of their typing fingers, in order to continue their mission of taking down Trump unabated, and in slowly but surely moving towards becoming Buzzfeed.

The Trump administration moved to reclassify Islam from a religion to that of a political ideology, no different from Socialism. That way, he can get around the religious test for immigration purposes.

OK, that's FAKE NEWS. I just made it up.

But, it will make you think, since at its core Islam and government are one in the same and are not divisible.

Now, what's NOT FAKE NEWS is the FAKE NEWS out of Hillary, here is her complete list of the reasons she lost the election...

The FBI
James Comey
The Russians
Vladimir Putin
Anti-American forces
Low Information Voters
Everyone who assumed she'd win
Bad polling numbers
Citizens United
Obama, for winning two terms
People wanting change
Misogynists
Suburban women
White women, minorities and others who didn't vote for her
The New York Times
Television Executives
Cable News
Netflix
Democrats not making the right kind of documentaries
Coughing allergies
Facebook
Twitter
Out-of-Control Bots
Wikileaks
Fake news
Macedonian content farms
The Republican Party
The Democratic Party

I see what you did there.

Hillary didn't include in her excuse list that she didn't campaign much in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Trump did. I remember him being in Michigan at 1am in Grand Rapids on Election Day.

I think it was Corey Lewandowski who said Clinton lost the election because she couldn't find Wisconsin on a map.

Too bad Obama couldn't help her with those 3 of the 57 states.

CNN literally creates FAKE NEWS.
On the streets of London this afternoon, CNN staged a small group of Muslims who are protesting the most recent London terror attack holding up signs that say "ISIS Will Lose." It's really quite remarkable.

The YouTube posting of it (until CNN and/or YouTube censor it:

Here's a shot from CNN's camera position (not sure if the shot itself is the AP's or CNN's, as no credit is given) posted by The Associated Press with the pushed narrative.

CNN Reporter, Becky Anderson, posted this report (some of which you see her making in the staged scene) to her Twitter feed.

CNN's Brian Stelter is saying that the people with the signs were allowed to come in to the blocked off street and that CNN and others merely filmed them.

Not a good fake news day for the fake news networks.

Brian Stelter keeps reinforcing the fact that his initials are not coincidental.

Opinion | CNN corrects Comey-testimony-prediction story

I was listening to CNN on SiriusXM when Gloria Borger gave her "report" on what Comey was going to say. First let me just say that whenever I hear Gloria Borger speak, I hear her channeling Cliff Claven. So when she was talking about this, as with most everything else she says, it struck me as being more of a pompous, wishful-thinking fantasy rather than sound reporting of testimony-prediction.

Then, yesterday I was watching live when Comey's prepared statement was released and they were pouring over it in real time on-air. It was almost (almost) painful to watch the look of joyful, giddy anticipation on their faces quickly change to looks of disbelief, sadness and utter dejection. But I also knew it wouldn't take them more than a few minutes to find the nuggets they could use to spin and go, "See! See! See!"

But it was like Christmas morning as a kid to see their reaction of where Comey flatly stated that, without first being asked by Trump, that Comey took it upon himself to inform Trump on three separate occasions that Trump was not the subject or target of an investigation. Because they were soooo sure that Trump was lying about that. They hedged their bet via Gloria Borger that Trump might have just misinterpreted what Comey said, but no, Comey's statement was unambiguous and left zero room for misinterpretation. And that made CNN sad.
