I hesitate to post the link below but, on balance, it may be elucidating to some folks.  There is a ton of this kind of stuff out there, if you know where to look. Totally get that most folks here would be unaware of this.  Why should you know?  To my knowledge, nobody here is a wacko.  But, it's out there. Unfortunately, it is seeping into the mainstream a bit more these days. 

I went to Hollywood High School. Not just L.A. but the borders of Hollywood (believe me, not a glamorous neighborhood at all).  Know this territory.  Know several people on periphery of entertainment business, etc. I know about this, the code words that folks get when tell some what they do and where they live. The connection is subtle, generally, but out there. Wackos. No, don't think Arrieta knowingly made an anti-Semitic remark but think he was likely influenced by stuff out there. There is a history. You should know about it.

Yeah, he was influence by all the actors who publicly said they would leave the US if Trump was elected.  Sometimes things are just simple.

Nor is there any reason why the bulk of society should research the odds and ends of society to ensure that they do not accidentally offend someone.  These nutjobs are going to be offended no matter how much they are catered to.  I would much rather that general society were unaware of the silly mind and word games that whackos on both sides play.

I have never read Brietbart, and avoid Huffington Post whenever possible.  I have no desire to learn in detail what scum they spread, and do not care in the slightest if I say something that would only offend someone on the one side or the other.

This would be a good watch for those offended by Arrieta's comments.

Trump did hire Vince McMahon's wife.

Too bad Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji have passed on or else one of them would probably already have the ambassadorship in the bag.

I don't really see anything egregious about nominating Linda McMahon.  Yeah, it's easy to dismiss her as just being part of WWE.  But really, she and her husband took over a small business in 1980, and it is now one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world.  She has always received a lot of credit for being the smarter business mind in her family.  She actually seems like she could be qualified for the position she is taking over. 

But I don't understand how being a baseball manager in Japan for a few years in any way gives Valentine the qualifications to be an Ambassador.

At least Linda was smart enough to make sure it was Vince's hair on the line in the match with Donald Trump, not hers.

And you did not hear much about her when Vince almost went to prison over the steroid scandal.

Although Trump is perhaps the last of the Republicans that I wanted to see as President, I have to admit that so far, his major cabinet appointments are excellent.  Mattis, Sessions, Pruitt and DeVos are refreshing changes from what we have had in the past from both parties.

Of course, he could still screw it up with Romney as Secretary of State.

Pruitt is awful and Flynn is dangerous.
