Media Hypocrisy and Double Standards

I actually believe that my sentence about Cuomo was perfectly fitting for the tone and temperament of the delicate point I was trying to get across. At least during that particular exchange of ideas. My apologies if I offended your sensibilities.

I am not sure if you listened to the interview he gave but I actually did.  He prefaced everything by saying it is just his opinion based on the information her doctors provided and that obviously he can't make a diagnosis on someone that isn't his patient.  All he did was discuss her medical issues with the blood clots and how some of the medications she is prescribed can actually make that worse.  Also said that there are more modern medications that are safer than the ones she takes for her thyroid and blood thinning.

Maybe he's never made a friendly expression in his life? I didn't see him smile once in his playdoh handing out flood photo op video

My brother told me he is on that so called "old" treatment. He can't tolerate the newer drugs,,,which by the way are VERY expensive. Point being, every case is unique and without knowing her complete history or personally examining her, he was foolish to offer up an opinion. No ethical doctor does that.

BTW, he also said things about Trump which we equally silly:


But he did concede that Trump is showing signs of mental instability.

“The question, though, is, are some of the reckless qualities that everyone is getting so disturbed about on the campaign going to be translated into office should he get elected? That’s a pretty hard thing to predict. I don’t know if this is just somebody playing politics, or is this somebody who really can’t contain their impulses? When I hear people that are impulsive with their speech, I worry about hypomania and bipolar types of conditions.”

Pinsky then went on to question the mental health of Trump’s supporters, who seem to support him no matter what he says or does.

“What’s more fascinating to me, Don, is not him but his supporters that seem to not be concerned about any of this. That, to me, is fascinating. As always, what is up with us? Let’s just assume that most people that would choose to be in a very high-profile race like this would have narcissistic tendencies, and there’s something called sort of narcissistic injury, then narcissistic rage. If you injure — if you really shame somebody — they tend to be sort of teflon when it comes to shame. If you shame them, they can react with extreme aggression and extreme rage. So this seems to be that kind of a psychological process.”

Nothing disqualifies him.

But I think he is so uninformed on issues, especially internationally. And shows no interest in actually learning about them. He lacks the temperment to handle nuanced situations. He's openly asked why we cant nuke someone. I think he offers up over simplistic solutions to extremely complicated situations. He has no true convictions, he will say anything to anyone in front of him. Hes already softening on immigration. His biggest claim...building a wall and having Mexicans pay...is just so silly. Things like: "I'll stop murders in Chicago in one week, by tougher policing" Its just all hit air. The president has no police power in a city. Now, that wouldn't all be so bad if he had the ability to hire smart people around him. But he's now on his 3rd or 4th campaign team and many of his spokespeople seem as ignorant as him. He cant even hire experienced administration because none of them want to work for him. It would be a full team of rookies and I think that dangerous.

Now...you return the favor and tell me why you think he'd make a good president. Bonus points if you can do it without mentioning Hilary. Look, I know what she is and Ill have to hold my nose when I punch the chad, but Im looking forward. I simply feel as if she is better equipped. She would have an instant experienced team in place. If you cant vote for her because of emails, Benghazi or the foundation I can understand that. But to me, I have to chose between the 2 I have to go with her. Not because I think she's great, because I think Trump would be a disaster. 

I also understand the point of getting all the corrupt folks out...doing away with politics as usually. Get someone else other than a career public hack in there. And Id be on board if it wasn't someone like Trump. Great sentiment but wrong candidate. Maybe he has shown others an alternate path, you dont need to suck up to the party. I just wish there was a better candidate in his spot. 

I'll make you a deal. I'll stay home election day if you do. We cancel each other out and save time. (My parents used to do this)
