Dyson: "Somehow I doubt President Obama's advisers have spent a lot of time thinking about ...

[EffieBlack]

putting the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD on the phone with Donald Trump."

This was part of a serious smackdown of Trump for a series of ridiculous, arrogant comments, including expressing wonderment that the President had never called him." Dyson culminated this segment with a clip of the President smacking Trump around the room at the Correspondence Dinner.

FYI, Michael Eric Dyson is standing in for Ed Schultz tonight and and is KILLING.

1. I do not watch ED -- BUT ....

I would have watched it JUST for this. K&R

[cilla4progress]

2. I agree -

Dyson is superb! So classy, articulate, smart. I love me some Ed, but...give Dyson his own show! :)

3. That, "LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD" may need an asterisk.

One only has to see the police in action, Patriot Act, FBI and all the other erosions of or Constitution to see that statemnet is a childs storybook fable.

4. Yawn . . .

5. Yawning with ya...

:boring:

[EffieBlack]

8. Only on DU would a thread about a witty takedown of Trump turn into a forum for

attacks on the President and sniping about the phrase "Leader of the Free World."

This place is really getting to be bizarre.

14. May I join you?

7. More importantly, it's a pretty dated title now that the Cold War is over

[Cali_Democrat]

9. Yup

The notion that America is the leader of the free world is an absolute joke. America is a police state that is constantly at war with other nations.

[EffieBlack]

10. Whoosh!

<the sound of the entire point of the OP whizzing right over your head . . .>

[Cali_Democrat]

11. I was actually replying specifically to Arctic Dave's point.

It's not possible for the President of the USA to be the leader of the free world because the USA is not a free country.

[great white snark]

13. I blame it on the cold temperatures you must endure.

"shrinkage" effects more than just one's junk.

[Arctic Dave]

21. Shouldn't you be getting ready for 3rd period?

[11 Bravo]

19. Ah shit, has the race for the title of "Most Righteous Lefty" on the interwebs already commenced?

I didn't even hear the starter's pistol!

[Arctic Dave]

22. Hurry up and toss your hat in. There's still time.

[Solomon]

24. LOL

You noticed that too! Lots of posts devolve in the one-upsmanship over who's the realest liberal or progressive. Common sense be damned.

[Arctic Dave]

23. ?

Does that mean something?

[Empowerer]

12. That's hilarious!

:rofl:

[Tarheel_Dem]

15. Since I don't watch Ed, I missed it. Sure wish I had known.

:hi:

[AtomicKitten]

16. I stumbled on MED hosting Ed's show yesterday.

I recorded the whole thing and watched it later.

He really needs to get his own show.

[Cali_Democrat]

17. You think he should replace Ed?

[AtomicKitten]

18. No, I said: "He really needs to get his own show."

Nowhere in that did I even infer he should replace Ed.

Are you twisting words just to be provocative? That's a rhetorical question.

[Cali_Democrat]

25. LOL

I asked because he was filling in for Ed. It was just a simple question.

Someone seems a little snippy and angry. You need a hug.

[AtomicKitten]

26. No thanks.
