I hold the Trump administration to the same standards I tried to hold the Obama one too ( and were berated for here)- but if I were to hold it to the standards that the LIBERALS held Obama to, then anything goes.


"Celebrity chef and self-described "privileged Eastern liberal" Anthony Bourdain slammed his fellow leftist elites this week, arguing that their disdain for working-class Americans helped create "the upswell of rage and contempt" that propelled Donald Trump to the presidency.

"The utter contempt with which privileged Eastern liberals such as myself discuss red-state, gun-country, working-class America as ridiculous and morons and rubes is largely responsible for the upswell of rage and contempt and desire to pull down the temple that we're seeing now," Bourdain said in an interview with Reason magazine.

"I've spent a lot of time in gun-country, God-fearing America," Bourdain continued. "There are a hell of a lot of nice people out there, who are doing what everyone else in this world is trying to do: the best they can to get by and take care of themselves and the people they love. When we deny them their basic humanity and legitimacy of their views, however different they may be than ours, when we mock them at every turn and treat them with contempt, we do no one any good.""
