Former Clinton Circus Midget Takes Denial To A Preposterous Level

On May 4, former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reichhhhhhhhhh (BTW that's not a typo) cross-posted a piece from his blog to Salon.  He began by asking, “Why did working class voters choose a selfish, thin-skinned, petulant, lying, narcissistic, boastful, megalomaniac for president?”
Reich is searching for ways to prevent having “future Trumps as far as the eye can see.” He admits, “Hillary Clinton offered a plethora of small-bore policy proposals — all sensible but none big enough to make a difference. If Democrats really want to stop Trump, they will need to address the causes of Trump’s rise.”
Nine days later, the Clinton flunky who’s never been right about anything, tweeted the following account of a phone conversation he had with a “friend” he claims is a former Republican member of Congress.
If you’re a “deplorable” like me, you’ll just point and laugh at the little squirt who Rush Limbaugh mocked for his absurd policies, diminutive 4’11” stature and exaggerated sense of self-importance.

Tiny Little Hobbit Wags His Finger At President Trump

For the record we now know critical thinking skills and common sense are not a prerequisite for being a professor at the University of California-Berkeley.

Earlier this month, firebrand Milo Yianoppoulos was scheduled to speak at the school about how The Left has been shutting down free speech. Police had to cancel the talk when about 150 masked agitators threw Molotov cocktails, smashed windows, threw rocks and fireworks at the police.

Robert Reich appeared with Don Lemon on CNN floating a conspiracy theory
“I want to be very, very clear. I was there for part of last night and I know what I saw. Those people were not Berkeley students. Those people were outsiders, agitators. I’ve never seen them before. There’s rumors that they actually were right-wingers. They were a part of a group that were organized and ready to create the kind of tumult and danger you saw that forced the police to cancel the event. So Donald Trump, when he says Berkeley doesn’t respect free speech rights, that’s a complete distortion of the truth. I mean, Berkeley opened its biggest auditorium to this right-wing Breitbart News character, this hateful odious person. They said, ‘Free speech is the most important thing we stand for,’ and it was these outsiders who caused the police to finally come in and have to cancel it.” 
When President Trump made a campaign-style stop in Melbourne, FL last Saturday he said:
“You look at what’s happened last night in Sweden. Sweden. Who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They’re having problems like they never thought possible.”
His language was imprecise and sloppy, but he never claimed there had been a terrorist attack in Sweden.  Violence, however, did erupt in Rinkeby, a suburb of Stockholm, two days later as cars were burned, businesses vandalized and police were attacked with rocks and a reporter was beaten. Rinkeby is predominantly made up of immigrants.

Reich proceeded to go for a second helping of stupid by tweeting and then deleting this:

Trump's lies have consequences. 48 hrs after his comments on Sweden, riots broke out in an immigrant community. https://t.co/1k2BOl2jdw— Robert Reich (@RBReich) February 21, 2017

He apparently was commenting on The Washington Post’s report of the violence believing the President’s comment was so incendiary it drove those poor Swedes to unbridled violence.

Reich, in rushing to judgment, must have missed the integral paragraph in the report:
“The neighborhood, Rinkeby, was the scene of riots in 2010 and 2013, too. And in most ways, what happened Monday night was reminiscent of those earlier bouts of anger. Swedish police apparently made an arrest on drug charges at about 8 p.m. near the Rinkeby station. For reasons not yet disclosed by the police, word of the arrest prompted youths to gather.”
Herr Reich is so short the only thing he’s good for is tying my shoelaces.  His lunacy and those of his comrades are exactly what got Trump elected.  Keep it up fella.

Moonbat Will Opine for Food


Robert Reich, short of facts and other things, has opined on CNN (Certainly Not News) that the Berkeley riots may have been a right wing plot to discredit UC Berkeley. No. Seriously.
Reich asserted on CNN that he has “heard rumors.” According to the rumors Reich heard on campus, the anti-Trump riots were actually a right-wing plot to discredit Berkeley or the left...

Don Lemon: “You think this was a strategy by Yiannopoulos or right wingers? That they put this on in an effort to show there’s no free speech on a college campus like UC Berkeley?”

Reich responded: “I wouldn’t bet against it, Don. Again, I saw these people. They all looked very–almost paramilitary. They were not from the campus. I’ve heard, I don’t want to say factually, that there was some relationship there between these people and the right wing and the right wing movement that is affiliated with Breitbart News.”
Could Robert Reich beat a psych eval? I wouldn’t bet against it. The only note of optimism in this is that when you are built as close to the ground as Robert Reich, you don't have far to fall!

In a related story, Reich believes the Jews used Kristallnacht to try to discredit Hitler!

How The Hell Do You Know The Skunk Farted?

Short 4 foot 9 inch wombat, Robert Reich who was Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Labor, made an astonishingly confusing analogy about skunks yesterday.
And Popehat asked the salient question:
And then there's Cuffy's snark: 
Reich has been notoriously wrong-headed for decades regarding the economy while espousing his socialist drivel in support of an activist government that raises taxes in order to redistribute the money.  He has not, nor will he ever, be able to explain the precipitous decline in the American economy.  He smugly contents himself with denouncing the “myth of the free market”.

His line of propaganda employs scare tactics declaring that the elderly won’t receive their Social Security checks or be able to procure their much-needed medical care.  He has demanded in his never-ending tripe that those of us who faithfully pay our taxes, abide by the rule of law, keep our noses clean and get up every day and go to work should continue to allow the government leeches a steady stream of freebies and the politically entrenched to feed at the government trough.

The little polecat doesn’t understand the skunk party theory and he certainly doesn’t understand the most basic concepts in economics.

Department Of Ill-Advised Photo Opportunities

The Associated Press noted in its coverage of The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer’s visit to a Mountain View, CA Walmart, that he triggered a backlash from labor unions and pay equity advocates who say low wages paid by Walmart “fly in the face of Obama’s vaunted push to pay equity.”
TWMDCO enraged labor unions by congratulating their arch-enemy Wal-Mart for making a big commitment to solar panels.

John Hayward, opining at Human Events notes, “Wally World holds the same talismanic significance for unions that the Keystone XL pipeline holds for radical environmentalists.”

"The president's visit sends a terrible message to workers across America," Joe Hansen, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers union, which has battled Walmart for years, said in a statement. "He is lending credibility to a bad actor when he should be joining the calls for Walmart to change."

The progressive online advocacy group CREDO declared the visit "outrageous" and called on the White House to scrap it. Pam Ramos, a Walmart worker employed at the very store Obama is visiting, wrote an op-ed in Salon asking the president to "tell Walmart to pay us enough to cover the bills."

In a Facebook post, Robert Reich, the former labor secretary under Bill Clinton, wondered, "What numbskull in the White House arranged this?"
