LIKE SOME OF YOU, I hate when John Rothmann goes out of his way to accommodate Trump loyalists; even the brain-dead ones that support him (Trump) no matter what he says, does; the crowd of cultists that would have no problem supporting him if he were to shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue in NYC.
Rothmann is talking tonight (Monday) the nitty-gritty New Hampshire primary. It's hard core politics on KGO Radio and Rothmann is all on it, talking about Biden burnout and Mike Bloomberg emergence.
His worst attribute--letting the Trump amen corner spiel on and on is also his best: he does allow, almost to the point of near delirium to us sane people, the other side to speak their peace even if that peace is crazy shit. So God bless him, that Rothmann guy even if he drives me nuts.
And yes, he loves the string beans at the local grocery store up on California --I prefer the squash and a tuna on rye if you give a damn.
I felt the same way with Obamaites. Brain dead.
ReplyDeleteWhat have your local representatives done for you lately? How can you possibly say anything about Trump and give that garbage bag Pelosi a pass?
ReplyDeleteShe impeached him. You can't unimpeach him. He can be impeached again. See Constitution
DeleteLmao....Anyone who supports Don the Con is as brain dead as you can get. At least John will let the Trumptards call in and spew their nonsense... Soon to be dead Rushbo only let's his ditto dipshit heads call in. Can't handle debating people with facts.
ReplyDeleteLmmfao...You're brain dead.
DeleteAllowing the followers of 45* to spew their nonsense is good radio. Scary at times, but usually pretty entertaining.
ReplyDeleteI don't normally listen to John Rothmann but turned him on last night since I couldn't find anything else worth listening to. A minute later he introduced Jan Wahl to talk about the Oscars. WTF?
ReplyDeleteSo I tuned in to KCBS, and boy was that horrible! Mostly just a bunch of commercials with traffic mixed in. But at least Jan Wahl wasn't on.
Rothmann just doesn't add up. Born in 49, he would've been with Nixon when he was like 19 or 20. No way is someone that age gonna be a confidant of the President, like he always pretends. Let me be crystal clear (oh gawd) letting people call him Professor is an extreme stretch with him having no PhD. Most of his claims to fame likewise crumble.
ReplyDeleteGlad you caught that. Anybody else getting a little tired of Rothmann constantly mentioning his "old boss, Richard Nixon," like he (Rothmann) were a member of the Cabinent?
DeleteAlso, all the talk of being an umpteenth generation San Franciscan. If you want to lay claim to that cesspool city with the needles, theft, assaults, shit on the street and homesless...knock yourself out.
DeleteJohn is the scion of a very significant San Francisco family. He was a campaign staffer for Nixon, a prize that is typically doled out to the smartest sons and daughters of big contributors. Have you ever heard of Levi's? Haas scholarships at UCB? use your google.
DeleteRothmann would have most likely worked in some sort of campaign work back then as were a lot of politically minded youth age 18 to 23 years old...this is before computer poling and John would have been in college...they needed real people to handle the work not computers...but then that was back in another era when young people were actually interested in the politics of the nation...because they had skin in the game...ie Viet Nam...
ReplyDeleteWhy are we talking about this guy?
ReplyDeleteA caller clobbered Rothmann on Tuesday night. Rothmann said that Hillary doesn't support Bernie because Bernie didn't campaign for her in 2016. A caller who knew the facts confronted Rothmann and pointed out how many campaign appearances Bernie did for Hillary -- more than what she did for Obama after he got the nomination in 2008. Rothmann was stammering. Finally he was forced to admit that Bernie did campaign for Hillary but there was a "perception" that he didn't, and that's what he was expressing in his remarks. In other words, a perception is more accurate than facts. It was cringe-worthy talk radio, that's for sure. And, of course, it always ends the same way: Rothmann turns down the caller's volume, cuts him off and gets in the last word.
ReplyDeleteI missed a lot of Tuesday's show. I'll see if I can find that call. Rothmann is pretty good on the facts but some days the bear gets you.
DeleteI know it's hard to tolerate Rich, but allowing Trump's "Cult45" people on just reinforces why Trump should not be Pres.
DeleteRich, I’m happy that you identify as the “sane crowd”.....the people you support in politics sure have done an excellent job with the streets of Oakland and San Francisco.
ReplyDeleteHow did Rothmann avoid the Vietnam draft? If he was born in 49, he would have turned 18 in 1968. Would like to hear him talk about avoiding the draft one night.
ReplyDeleteDraft Dodger!!
DeleteReally you are serious about this, after all these years. Many avoided the draft, or tried to, because they thought it was an immoral war, in which we hade no business. There were legitims ways of avoiding the draft. I lived on the East Coast in those years, I had friends that went to Vietnam, I also knew someone who was teaching disadvantages children in Harlem for very little money, in order not to get drafted. I assume then you are not okay with Trump avoiding the draft due to bone spurs?
DeleteWhy, maybe he had bone spurs? My he taught disadvantage children? What difference does that make all these years later.
