These stories are all inches apart on Breitbart News today:
Four San Francisco 49ers Players Protest the Anthem on Sunday
Seahawks Have More Protesters Than Any Other Team on Sunday, Giants’ Olivier Vernon Also Protests
The Head Coach in Chief, meanwhile, was keeping sore score:
Two dozen NFL players continue to kneel during the National Anthem, showing total disrespect to our Flag & Country. No leadership in NFL!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 23, 2017

The new thing with MOTUS is Artisanal Bullshit:
“I doubt I’d be here if it weren’t for social media, to be honest with you. Because there is a fake media out there––I get treated very unfairly by the media––and I have a tremendous platform. I think I have 125 million people between Twitter and Instagram and all of ’em––and Facebook. I have a tremendous platform. So when somebody says something about me, I’m able to go ‘bing bing bing’ and I take care of it. You know, they are well-crafted. I was always a good student. I am like a person that does well with that kind of thing.” – Trump, speaking yesterday morning on Fox News.

The *resident is now in week 2 of attacking a 24-year-old pregnant war widow.
I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 23, 2017
In fairness, he did warn us this was coming. He just head-faked us into thinking he meant only Senator McCain:
"People have to careful, because at some point I fight back," Trump told WMAL radio host Chris Plante. "I'm being very nice. I'm being very, very nice. But at some point I fight back, and it won't be pretty."

Sinclair has downplayed talk about taking on Fox, and Smith, who declined to comment for this story, rarely speaks about the broadcaster’s larger plans. The two companies are clearly in different lines of business. Fox News operates a single channel that shovels red meat, 24 hours a day, to dedicated conservative viewers. Sinclair’s stations around the country slip hardline political content between local weather, high school sports, and city council reports—broadcasting to a mass audience that, survey after survey shows, trusts local news more than any other medium.
“Sinclair is exploiting that credibility or trust that people have invested in their local stations by injecting a political message into it,” warns David Zurawik, the Baltimore Sun‘s veteran TV critic and a close company watcher. “Boris Epshteyn is wrapped in the packaging of the trusted local newsperson.”
Sinclair owns eleven open-air and digital TV stations in the Carolinas.

When President Nixon nominated Judge G. Harrold Carswell to the Supreme Court, people said he was mediocre at best (Carswell, that is).
Nebraska Republican Sen. Roman Hruska cried, "BFD":
Even if he were mediocre,’’ Mr. Hruska declared, ‘’there are a lot of mediocre judges and people and lawyers. They are entitled to a little representation, aren’t they, and a little chance? We can’t have all Brandeises, Frankfurters and Cardozos.
Now Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul wants to put America's Most Mediocre in charge of science:
Senate Republicans have launched a new attack on peer review by proposing changes to how the U.S. government funds basic research.
New legislation introduced this week by Senator Rand Paul (R–KY) would fundamentally alter how grant proposals are reviewed at every federal agency by adding public members with no expertise in the research being vetted. The bill (S.1973) would eliminate the current in-house watchdog office within the National Science Foundation (NSF) in Alexandria, Virginia, and replace it with an entity that would randomly examine proposals chosen for funding to make sure the research will “deliver value to the taxpayer.” The legislation also calls for all federal grant applications to be made public.

A Republican congressman worries that continuing to tax millionaires at rates despite which they became millionaires will prevent poor people from working to become millionaires at the same tax rates as their white male role models:
“It’s easy to throw rocks at somebody simply because they have money,” Russell continued Monday. “And that’s what I’m trying to address. We don’t need to create this class warfare of, ‘You have, and I don’t, therefore I’m going to punish you, and use the government as the punishment tool.’ We’re better as a country than that. And we want a country that creates innovation and creates hope, so that somebody growing up in poverty can be successful, could be wealthy, if they invent an idea and they take it all the way to success.”

A frequent raver on scamvangelical Jim Bakker's TV show, Rick Wiles has promulgated a new iteration of Godwin's Law, with Nazis and the gays:
“I stand by my claim that this country has death squads,” he said on his “TruNews” radio program. “We have death squads in this country and it’s being run by a super secret agency, but there is participation at the state and local level.”
“We’re in a fascist Nazi police state,” Wiles added according to our friends at Right Wing Watch, warning that “there will be a day that they tell law enforcement [officers] to execute your children right in front of you and they will do it.”
“America has become a Nazi state. The deep state is a Nazi state. That is why Campos appeared on a daytime talk show hosted by a fast-talking, dancing comedienne, and, let me add, a lesbian, because this Nazi regime is a gay/lesbian Nazi regime, just like Nazis in Hitler’s day. Hitler was a bisexual, the top Nazi leaders of the Nazi party were homosexuals. The Nazi takeover of Germany was a militant homosexual fascist takeover; that is what is taking place in America today.”
Said death squad did the wet work in Las Vegas, Wiles says.
