"Never address Trump as president": Keith Olbermann tells liberals to `humiliate him every day'

[Ubiquitous]

You’ve probably noticed that liberal mouthpiece Keith Olbermann has
returned to the screen — in a manner of speaking. Far flung from his
perch atop the MSNBC food chain, Olbermann now helms a GQ web series
called “The Resistance.”

Knowing Olbermann’s far-left politics and the fact that Republican
President-elect Donald Trump will take the oath of office in less than
a month, it’s pretty clear what will dominate Olby’s commentaries for
the time being.

His latest diatribe targeting Trump — “So What Are We Supposed to Do
Now?” — is more than nine minutes long, but like a gradually enfolding
freeway pileup, it’s not always easy to look the other way:

He is still elected by a minority vote. He is still wholly
unfit for the job, the man you would expect to find if you
were searching for the person who could most quickly and
efficiently destroy a democracy and maybe a planet. He is
still a moving, breathing conflict of interest who will likely
be guilty of impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors within
hours, if not minutes, of his own inauguration. He is still
a textbook case corrupt self-dealing come to life. He is still
the leader of the most remarkable group of public serve-
yourself servants ever assembled. And most importantly, Trump
is still, at best, the local distributor for Russian dictator
Vladimir Putin.

But Olbermann was just getting warmed up. He soon instructed fellow
liberals to get in the faces of Trump supporters: “Resistance means
find a Trump supporter every day and remind them he lost the popular
vote.”

“Resistance means repetition, humiliate him, humiliate him every day,
and those who support him,” Olbermann continued. “We are in this
nightmare because at some point we stopped punishing stupidity in this
country. We will not fix this core problem by appeasing the cretins.
Besides which, they will not be appeased — they are too stupid to quit
while they are ahead. To borrow a Bush-era normalization of terror,
‘When you see something stupid, call someone stupid.'”

By the end of his tirade, Olbermann suggested a “passive-aggressive,
subtler way to make this point clear. It is like most of the points
that finally defeated the Republicans of the Bush era. Those points
succeeded not by suddenly knocking down walls, but instead by eroding
them as would a river.”

“Not using one word can be just as forceful as perpetually using
another,” he concluded. “Never address Trump as ‘president.’ He is
Trump. Just Trump. Never ‘president.’ The title of ‘president’? That we
must protect for a happier and more honest time. Resistance means
refusal. Resist. Peace.”

I like the term "Chancellor Trump".

It has that stink of authoritarianism that he desperately deserves.

In Britain, the Finance Minister - I suppose the US equivalent is
Secretary of the Treasury - is called the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
That's hardly authoritarian. Also, Angela Merkel is the Chancellor of
Germany and is nobody's idea of authoritarian. Ditto for her various
predecessors in most cases. Even Hitler was only briefly Chancellor;
once President Hindenburg died, he combined the office of Chancellor
with the office of President and called himself Fuehrer, which simply
means "Leader". Many universities also have "Chancellors".

As insults go, "chancellor" is pretty weak sauce.

Then Chancellor it is! Hair Trump was a close 2nd, though...

This is a man who will be committing an impeachable offense the minute
after he's sworn into office. And that's NOT an exaggeration.

He will literally be in violation of the Emoluments Clause if he hasn't
divested his holdings - and he's indicated he won't.

This isn't a partisan rant... it's a fact.

Weak and won't stick.

I like T-Rump just for the simplicity, although even Keith couldn't get away
with that on the air for long.

I'm staying with T-Rump until he names himself otherwise, just like really
stupid dogs and cats often do.

Froth Olbermann isn't on the air. He can't keep a real job and has been
relegated to ranting on the internet. And since his screeds are limited to
YouTube, he can say whatever he wants. There's no FCC to censor him.

[trotsky]

Cite?

[FPP]

So why was every network he ever worked for paying him millions of
dollars every year? Because they didn't want him?

Idiot.

Not being able to keep a job implies he isn't wanted. That's bullshit.
Not wanting to stay in a job where he can't say and do what he wants
isn't the same thing, and you know it. He's a prick, and he doesn't
suffer fools gladly.

But feel free to lie about your betters. He laughs all the way to the
studio every week, while you whinge about it. And nobody pays you for
your opinion, or takes what you say seriously.

Guess screeds from people who can't keep a job pay pretty well, don't they?

He felt the need to go on a Victory Tour... not to thank his

needs to relive the glory days of last month, and taunt his rivals. A
hallmark of an insecure child that needs to convince himself that he's

He lost the popular vote, but needs to make the excuse that he could
have won, if he wanted to. (But didn't.)
He got less votes than Hillary, but needs to say he "won in a
landslide! A landslide!". (He didn't come close.)
He won the electoral college, but still needs to say that his victory
was one of the largest in history! (It wasn't even close.)

It has the stink of desperation.

He doesn't need his daily briefing because he's "like, a smart guy!"

There's a difference between desperately wanting to deserve something and
deserving something desperately. You said the latter and it makes no
linguistic sense.

One can't lose that for which there is no contest. Put another way, Hillary
won a game that wasn't even being played.

olbermann and all liberals should remember the game they were playing. It was with the current method for electing our president – the Electoral College method – to be precise. Yes, the majority of the lefties in California & New York voted by a large margin for Clinton. However, the rest of the country – by an overwhelming margin – voted for President-elect Trump. The Electoral College was implemented so that every vote – in every state – counted EQUALLY, and this election as well as the 2000 election proved that. So olbermann, live with or have your liberal representatives initiate a Constitutional Amendment to change the current method. In the mean time olbermann, suck it up, take a deep breadth and exhale. The world will not come to an end as all of us who opposed obama learned during the last 8 years. Even you olbermann survived 8 years of obama, surely you can survive 8 years of President Donald Trump.

[FPP]

Do you remember surviving 8 years of Bush?

Well, over 3,000 people in New York don't.

Thousands of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan don't either.

Not to mention the 1800 in New Orleans who didn't get that chance, either.

Those who lost their jobs, their savings and their homes during the
Great Recession probably don't, either.

People like you don't seem to have a very long memory...

Under Bush, there were 13 attacks on US Embassies, and over 60 deaths.
Why is it people like you only remember the single attack, and 4
deaths, in Benghazi! (tm)?
