This is why I get on my soapbox over and over criticizing media for being lame when being inept in calling out crap like JD spewed with MTP's host Kristen Welker.

She only had her prepared questions and didn't have the wherewithal to spontaneously respond to JD's bullshit responses.

Notwithstanding zoo ( who I love like a brother ) constantly chiding me for my criticism of the media being clueless about covering my campaign back in 2006, it is an interview like this that drives me batshit crazy.

She’s paid millions a year to be an astute, skilled interviewer and journalist.

Like her predecessor, she’s mediocre at best. She’s not skilled, astute, or a journalist.

In 2006, the N&O and Capital press corps were shadows of themselves. Even at their peak, they weren’t covering a Congressional primary candidate who was going to get squashed like a bug…..they just aren’t. We can say the media should give equal coverage to each candidate. That won’t happen.

Ending the border skirmish with Thailand was important but the rush to close the breach for domestic / personal reasons of the Trump Admin at best ignored (and at worst strengthened the hand of) the increasingly despotic regime in Cambodia. Don’t get me wrong, Cambodia’s authoritarianism has been spiraling since the first Trump Administration, so securing an end to the border skirmish with Thailand was not an initial catalyst. But the subsequent compliments to and cozying up to the Cambodian government (which lavished Trump with praise and promised to nominate Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize) does hep cement and embolden these sorts of repressive actions.

Cambodia arranged this to strike Trump’s ego:
