Fake news staffer joining White House
The Hill reports that the White House is hiring a writer from the notorious web site that published fake news about Shirley Sherrod (and others):
Julia Hahn, a staff writer at Breitbart News, is expected to join the White House – a move that further underscores Breitbart’s influence in the new administration.
According to two sources briefed on the move, Hahn’s title will be special assistant to the president and she is expected to primarily work under White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, himself a former key player at Breitbart. Prior to joining Donald Trump’s campaign, Bannon, an outspoken populist and member of the president’s inner circle, was chairman of the conservative website.
Along with speechwriter Stephen Miller, Bannon and Hahn form a nationalist wing of the administration – one that has shaped its intellectual worldview. The influence of Bannon and Miller was apparent in Trump’s inaugural address, which was packed with populist rhetoric.

Did Kellyanne’s head finally spin so fast that it flew off into space?

Nothing would have happened. The vacuum outside matches the vacuum within.

Well he’s consistent, I’ll give him that. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6e5938c5ce79ba6ca51977617f1f39eb344e10ede0604c05ac2d3cc0145093dc.jpg

You know, I wonder if Bannon is gearing up for a presidential run…

We should have the national debt paid down in no time!
Fake news can make it happen if they find a way to destroy all national debt clocks starting with the one in times square

Interesting that our taxes pay people to lie to us and the products we buy support the media that does the same. It will be fun when “we the people” decide to disrupt the pattern.

A very special island is inhabited only by knights and knaves. Knights always tell the truth, and knaves always lie.
You meet two inhabitants: Zoey and Mel. Zoey tells you that Mel is a knave. Mel says, “Neither Zoey nor I are knaves.”
Can you determine who is a knight and who is a knave?
Answer: Trump

Makes sense. It will make it that much easier for Spicer and Conway to run Trump’s newly formed Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.
