As the New Media emerged as a counterbalance to established media sources, Roger wrote his copious blogs about national politics, the tea party movement, mid-term elections, and the failings of the radical right to the vanguard of the New Media movement. Roger West's efforts as a leading blogger have tremendous reach. NFTOS has led the effort to bring accountability to mainstream media sources such as FOX NEWS, Breitbart's "Big Journalism. Roger's breadth of experience, engaging style, and cultivation of loyal readership - over 92 million visitors - give him unique insight into the past, present, and future of the New Media and political rhetoric that exists in our society today.

MAHER SUMS UP TRUMP BEST

Bill Maher appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s show the night before the 2016 presidential election, and he tried to be funny despite the fact that he was feeling fairly somber.

“It’s not funny,” Maher said of Trump’s presidential candidacy. “This is a different thing. I did a whole mea culpa on my show Friday night, I talked about Mitt Romney, George Bush, Reagan, McCain like it was the end of the world. It would never have been the end of the world with those guys. This is different. This guy is different.”
Fallon then asked Maher if he had anything to say to voters who were still undecided between Clinton and Trump. Maher took a deep breath and, with an exasperated look on his face, went down the litany of Trump’s sins.
“First of all, really? I mean, he’s a racist, a liar, a tax cheat, a deadbeat, a Russian agent, and a sexual predator,” Maher said. “‘How do you find your way out of the door in the morning?’ is what I would say to the undecideds.”
Maher then got serious again and said he’d tell undecided that Trump really is a “different beast” from other presidential nominees we’ve seen.

BEE SAYS TRUMP MUST LOSE - BY A LANDSLIDE

Britain showed us what happens when you never think that the right wing nutters vote for something will actually win. Samantha Bee’s “Full Frontal” began with clips of interviews of people saying that they wish that hadn’t voted to leave and that they never thought it would happen. Now they are being forced with the harsh reality of an election.
“Look, your vote has consequences,” Bee explained. “You want to send a message? Use the Royal Mail, it still works! For now.”
Hopefully, however, America was looking at Great Britain and saying, “Oh God, what are we about to do?” Bee said, showing Trump at his golf course in Scotland. Clips of Trump telling the media that the European Union vote was great were only barely drown out by the bagpipes behind him. So much so that Bee couldn't decide which of the loud windbags was more painful to listen to.

The reality is, Brexit was solidified because pasty white uneducated bitter troglodytes went out and voted, leaving those who though that Brexit referendum would never come to fruition - left them holding the shit bag wanting a do-over.

BEE VIDEO TWO COURTESY OF TBS




Bee reminded the audience that we could still screw everything up if we forget to vote. But there is hope. “Trump’s brand of right-wing, racist, anti-immigrant demagoguery isn't American. It’s a European import. And if we’re smart, we’ll stop it at the border and send it back where it came from,” she closed.

SILVERMAN EASES TENSIONS FOR “SUPER RICH ASSHOLES” IF BERNIE BECOMES PRESIDENT

Sarah Silverman released a video on Monday expanding on her support for Sen. Bernie Sanders in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, the Daily Beast reported.
“This man is running for president on a platform that is just a giant ‘f*ck you’ to the above-the-law billionaire class who have been controlling government policy with their money and not paying a nickel in taxes through government loopholes they secure with said money.”
Silverman also identified herself as a former supporter of Sanders’ opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, even though it meant rationalizing Clinton’s financial support on the part of corporate donors.
“Every politician takes money from big money, ever since it was made legal through Citizens United,” Silverman explained. “It’s legalized corruption. If all the other ball players are taking steroids, you have to take steroids too to compete, right?”




Silverman said that she felt she had more in common with Sanders’ platform, emphasizing his reliance thus far on individual donors, while also rejecting the notion that his being a Democratic Socialist would be bad for the country.

“Good lord, under President Sanders, don’t worry, you can still become a super-rich asshole,” Silverman said. “It’s just that your fellow hard-working citizens don’t have to feed their children cat food in order for you to do it.”
At the same time, she assured viewers she did not want to push anyone into voting.
“If you vote or not, that’s not my business — I’m not your money,” she said. “Though like your mommy, I have a completely full bush.”

STORE POLICY

COURTESY OF MIKE KEEFE


If you’re a moderate, liberal or independent you need to tune in and listen closely to what the right is saying – especially the Trump voter. It’s time to unite against the elephant menace.

By now we all know the hallmarks of Trumpenstein’s platform. All feel good ideas to the 35% of the righty who wants to make America great - like it was when women stayed in the kitchen, immigrants were the cheap help that came over the border to pick our fields and didn't stay, and government was small. You know, 1950.

Trump’s boarder wall makes me laugh. The problem is walls mean nothing to the motivated criminals, especially the drug cartels. These are the same guys that started using submarines when the Coast Guard amped-up their surveillance of the seas. Listen to what the Marines have to say about walls.

What pisses me off most is the utter contempt they have toward those that disagree. According to them we’re weak, racists against whitey, that we hate the military, that we don’t love our country like they do. Donald himself called us "pussies". "They want their country back!"

Well friend, we won the election. The Presidency is ours. Oh and we’re going to win this one too, albeit only if you get out and vote – take your neighbor, grandma, Uncle Joe. Make sure your college student is registered and has an absentee ballot.

I don’t plan on giving this country back to these tribal idiots anytime soon. It’s store policy – no returns.

BERN AFTER READING

It’s hard not to enjoy the show and watch the GOP eat their own. Reagan must be spinning in his grave as his 11th Commandment is broken, shredded, stomped upon and burned. It sets up the Democrats for a slam-dunk this fall. However, we should watch carefully and with caution because our opportunity could turn on a dime.

Bernie has tapped into the same angst on the left that Trump has on the far right. Lets face it, we all know and agree with Bernie’s message – the system is rigged, the game’s not fair and the little guy is always going to get screwed if someone doesn’t look out for his interests. Luckily we have Hillary to do that.

Hillary needs to be louder and prouder! Show us one more time what we know she’s capable of - great leadership. I learned long ago there’s no such thing as a free lunch. I just want fair opportunity for success and I like having a safety net to protect patriots like us from hard times – like when bankers trash the world economy.

We just don’t need to win this fall – we need to win big – like 48 states big. We need turn out to match 2008. Why? Because we need to send a message to the Trump trolls that we’re taking our country further away from them. Their ideology is an epic fail!

The GOP paints us Dems as fools – looking for free stuff, weak on crime and national defense, and godless. Why do we take that crap? We have the greatest military in the world. Its not about troop levels its about being battlefield efficient. We don’t need troop levels from WWII.

Bernie lit the fire and Hillary needs to stoke more!

How many times do we need to read about industry needing more H1-B visa? Where’s the investment in our own workers? Why wont these companies hire and train the millions of displaced high tech workers?

They tell us that our educational system is weak and our schools aren’t preparing kids for jobs? Why don’t these fools want to invest in their future workers/consumers?

Hold up the mirror so folks see these phonies for what they accuse Trump of being – business morons, weak on Foreign Policy with ineffective wars – dishonest and a bunch of liars.

The GOP establishment wants it cheap and easy. They don’t want to invest in America, they want to frack America! That’s why Trump really is the perfect metaphor for what they really are.

Eight years ago I was excited to think we were on the brink of 16 years with a Democrat in the Oval Office. I’m even more excited to think it could be 24 – now lets deliver this. Time to pay it FORWARD.

DEMOCRATS MIRED IN A "TURD HOLE"

DEMOCOLYPSE 2014


Says Jon Stewart.

Jon Stewart kicked off night two in Austin mercilessly mocking Democrats for being stuck in a political “turd hole” for midterm season and for running like hell from President Obama “like he was one of the bad guys in those Chainsaw Massacre movies.”

Stewart rounded up all the ridiculous Democratic non-answers and disses when it comes to the issue of whether they support Obama, with one senator acting like someone “found your porn.”

And what killed Stewart is that Democrats are losing to really bad Republican candidates like Mitch McConnell and Scott Brown, the latter of whom, when asked about his record, actually said, “Do I have the best credentials? Probably not. ‘Cause, you know, whatever.”

Later in the show, the Daily Show trolls Texas.

JASON JONES TROLLS TEXAS Courtesy of Comedy Central





As a democrat I am astounded that these numbers can be factual- that indeed these races can be so statistically close. Fact, there are 17 million more democrats than republicans that voted in 2012 [The FEC reports that combining the total number of votes cast by Americans for president, House and Senate in 2012, Americans voted for the GOP 158,605,000 times and for the Democrats 176,167,000 times. In other words they cast over 17 million more Democratic votes than Republican votes in 2012].

Bottom line liberals, get off your asses and fucking vote!

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS, GET OUT AND VOTE! #UNITEBLUE




If your a women, a minority, and veteran, a worker, a student, there is no other choice for you if you want to keep what's yours.

This election is just as big, implications are just as high as the Presidential election - because true governing is at the State level.

MADDOW Video courtesy of MSNBC




It's time to turn Virginia BLUE readers! It's time to set the precedence in this county, that vagina probing, radical right wing extremism is not welcome in this country!

There is a reason why the conservative tries to disenfranchise voters - because the lower the turn out, the better their chances to win.

So no big blog today -  other than to say, if you're a Democrat - get off your posterior and go vote, your livelihood as you know it depends on it.

Exercise your most powerful right, and remember, voting has consequences, sever consequences.

TWO - FACED MITT

TWO-FACED MITT "BINDERS FULL O' WOMEN' ROMNEY

It's time NFTOS readers, it's time to send the tea baggers of America, this American Taliban - send a message that we have had enough of their shit! It's time to re-elect Barack Hussein Obama, for if not, you'll barely recognize your country in fours years.

I started blogging for this very reason two and half years ago, some 1000 blogs later, some 38 million readers later - because we cannot afford to let these radical tea baggers to lead our country, period!

I have fought for thirty years as a civilian for my country - protecting my country from radicals, and believe you me, this American Taliban I speak of is no different from the radicals I've chased in third world crap holes.

The teapublican party has been taken over by extremists, its like a iteration of the invasion of the body snatchers - this is what's confusing - when the teapublican party was centrist, now it's extremist, it's become the American Taliban we've come to not love, to hate, and this is how we got Mitt Romney.

Below, a collection of Mittens videos if you will, that should raise eyebrows, should cause alarm, and should tell you that there is no other choice for President this go around, that choice is Barack Hussein Obama!



TWO FACED




WAKE THE FUCK UP!




WILL THE REAL MITT ROMNEY PLEASE STAND UP




MITT ROMNEY'S OUT OF TOUCH MOMENTS




“Doublethink" means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them... To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just as long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies. - George Orwell (1984)

Get out and vote readers! The alternative is not an answer to the solution. There is only one way forward, and it's not the failed archaic ideology of the American Taliban - which has long since become extinct. It's time readers, it's time to vote!
