Trump is writing new rules for the Distributed Information Age. We no longer need to listen to people deemed to be experts by people who are experts at nothing.

What did Bernstein mean to imply by claiming that “military leaders” are questioning Pres. Trump’s “stability?”

That the “military leaders” confused over the XX and XY realities are ticked off that Trump's not confused?

Carl Bernstein’s Son Calls First Lady a Hooker

GEORGE NEUMAYR February 15, 2017
https://spectator.org/carl-bernsteins-son-calls-first-lady-a-hooker/

The New York Times reporter who called Melania Trump a “hooker” turns out to be Carl Bernstein’s son, Jacob. He was reprimanded for this comment by his bosses, but it looks like his job is safe. After all, it is not like he called Sandra Fluke a prostitute. Besides, his father may have planted the thought in his mind, what with all of his research into hookers in Eastern Europe. Just a few weeks ago, his father was hinting at hookers on Trump’s payroll in Moscow.

By the way, this isn’t the first time Jacob has gotten into trouble for his outré gossip. As a little boy, he blurted out to a friend at summer camp that Watergate source “Deep Throat” was former FBI official Mark Felt. That friend of Jacob’s, Chase Culeman-Beckman, then repeated the story in a high school paper. In that case, Jacob’s gossip was true, which put his father in an awkward spot, as I wrote here in a 2005 column:

Chase Culeman-Beckman had attended a posh Long Island summer camp with Carl Bernstein’s son Jacob roughly a decade earlier and had heard Jacob (then all of 8) popping off learnedly about “Mark Felt” as Deep Throat.

“We entered into a very precocious discussion of politics. Somehow the conversation degenerated to talk about Watergate and in a burst of braggadocio, he said that Deep Throat was Mark Felt,” said Culeman-Beckman to the press in 1999. “He said I’m 100 percent sure that Deep Throat is Mark Felt.”

Now that Felt has identified himself as Deep Throat in Vanity Fair, this young man’s “idiot” history teacher owes him a retroactive A+. Showing considerable enterprise, he, according to 1999 New York press accounts, heavily footnoted his 20-page term paper, copyrighted it, attached a two-page bibliography, and went to the trouble of subjecting All the President’s Men to rigorous textual analysis, noting that Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein had identified their source at one point as My Friend, the initials of Felt’s name.

Carl Bernstein owes his son’s summer camp pal an apology too. Bernstein had conducted a little cover-up after his story reached the press. Judging from his bobbing and weaving in press accounts, Bernstein was sweating. He appeared to be alternately playing dumb, lying, and putting his son up to squashing the story. The Hartford Courant reported that Bernstein “didn’t have time to call Jacob to ask him about it” and asked its reporter innocently, “Is Mark Felt still alive?” Then it looks like Bernstein tried to fake the paper out through lying bluster: “I hate to ruin your story, but Jacob Bernstein has not a clue as to the identity of Deep Throat. Bob and I have been wise enough never to tell our wives, and we’ve certainly never told our children.”

They’re thrilled on The_Donald. It looks like the CNN logo over the wrestlers head came from them. *Big Smile* :)

Odd, that the alcoholic waste that is Carl Bernstein is sitting in judgement of the guy the American voters put in office. Carl is truly an example of why we are far more worried about elitists then a crass cad. At least our guy is not spewing sanctimonious bull. As crass as he might be, he is working for us, doing what we want done. Which is why we made him president and still stand with him.

How many CNN reporters/anchors/people have called for the assassination of Trump again?

Carl has not been relevant since Watergate. He has been living on that Rep for a long time and I doubt he has done any serious reporting and writing since then. He is just a staple on the D.C. cocktail circuit telling the same pathetic stories on how he brought down Nixon. If he’s lucky he might find some woman who is still impressed to take home although he needs at least some lead time to take his pills.

OH the same old, same old CNN FAKE NEWS...

They can’t support the Vets, the Jobs, the new Health care trying to be re done, taking out ISIS (they support ISIS you do know that right?) and how dare the ‘left arm of the Clinton Foundation go against Clinton...

I ignore all media these days, I know the reason people post this stuff on here because they think we need to know what is going on, but even our local news is the ‘talking points of the national media’ before the weather comes on...

Obama got 10,000’s of people butchered in the cruelest ways in Syria and that makes him sane.

He got thousands of people in the US butchered by illegal immigrants and that makes him sane.

How about Fast and Furious? Getting Seal Team 6 killed because he could not keep his mouth shut.

I could go on and on how Obama got 100,000’s butchered and tortured and Obama is sane. Really?
