"CONQUEST"
It
was an exciting day on the Sunday
talk
shows.
America
is still about to be attacked and Donald Trump is still leading in
the polls.
Pierre
Thomas' weekly segment on “Scary Things in the News” was about
ISIS, as he announced gravely, “the threat from ISIS
is
now a clear and present danger.”
He
asked Attorney General Loretta Lynch
if
“this is the most dangerous, high-tempo threat environment since
9/11,” and if
“ISIS
might develop the capacity to do
a
cyber-attack.”
He
warned America is dealing with something new, a "terrorist
organization effectively
using
Western tactics to reach angry,
unstable
Millennials.”
He
noted that ISIS is on social media “urging young followers
worldwide and here at home to kill,” asked her “Does that make
the threat more imminent?”
Retired
Admiral James Stavridis called for 10,000 U.S. troops to go back to
Iraq to fight ISIS, while Lindsey Graham came on to talk up his
foreign policy credentials, saying, “I'm the best qualified to be
commander in chief.
I
understand the region better than anyone.”
He's
best qualified, he said, because
“I've
been busting my butt going to Iraq and Afghanistan over 35 times to
understand what's going on in the region, to learn
from
Bush's mistakes, my mistakes and
Obama's
mistakes.”
On
Iran, he was his usual calm self, saying “when it comes to this
Iranian deal, let me
tell
you what we've done. We've given
them
a bomb, a missile to deliver it and
money
to
pay for it.”
The
show also dealt with the pressing issues of Planned Parenthood and
Hillary Clinton's e-mails. Maggie Haberman from The New York Times
was on to defend her paper's incorrect reporting, saying “Department
of Justice sources told us and told several other media outlets that
this was a criminal referral and then walked that back many, many
hours later. So that answers that question,” and “the IGs have
argued it was classified at the time. And that sort of the issue
here. The bottom line is, there was a referral made. There was
a
referral made about a possible compromise
of
classified information.”
Meet
The Press, of course, dealt with Clinton's e-mails too, with
everyone agreeing this is a very serious situation, with Ron Fournier
insisting no one trusts Clinton and she
should
just drop out. The panelists all agreed Bernie Sanders is authentic,
and therefore Hillary Clinton must be inauthentic. But not all the
discussion was about Clinton. There is also the candidate making
trouble for the Republicans, Donald Trump, about whom
Ron
Fournier sagely argued “This man is more liberal than any Bush and
more
slippery
than any Clinton.”
All
the panelists agreed that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are exactly
the same,
and
are of course appealing to the same voters, which makes no sense if
you think
about
it for more than five seconds.
Everyone
agreed Planned Parenthood
is
in terrible
trouble
for making us all think
about
abortion,
which is icky.
But
the most absurd moments came with Meet The Press' special
guest this Sunday. Because Donald Trump is in the news, naturally
Chuck Todd invited on former
aide
to Richard Nixon, and cranky Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan.
Unsurprisingly,
Buchanan thinks Trump is making great points, especially about the
recent
conquest of America.
No,
really.
He
said: “But the other one Trump is hitting, which is one of the
hottest issues in the whole West, as well as the United States, is
the massive invasion, if you will, of what people feel is the
conquest of the West by massive third-world immigrations, coming from
refugees, and border jumpers, and
all
the rest of them.”
So
ISIS is about to attack America,
we
just gave Iran the bomb, and Donald Trump is a liberal who proves
Hillary Clinton
can't
be trusted. But that's nothing, since while you
were busy watching tv and
tweeting
on the internet, the third world
just conquered the West.
And
that's the most ridiculous thing that happened this Sunday.
