He spent the last few months blowing the dog whistle, suggesting that his 2nd Amendment people should take Hillary out. Now, he is crying foul that the 1st Amendment people are targeting him.
This why we can't have nice things.
Trump wanted 2nd Am. NRA types to "vote her out" and not kill her. Duh. Only a dummy and the Media-BIRM-think otherwise.

Whoah: Former New York Times Reporter Spills the Beans; Everything You Suspected Is True
—Ace
Via Instapundit, this revelation from former NYT reporter Michael Ciely at Dateline Hollywood is 100% pure uncut validation.
First he recounts the NYT's recent our-prognostications-were-wrong pieces...
...and by the way, on that: It's a cop-out for people to "confess" their mere prognostications were wrong. That's like being found over a smothered elderly relative with a pillow in your hands and confessing "I might have removed the Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law tags on this murder-weapon."
The sin of the media was running a dishonest partisan operation for two years. Merely saying "We missed a Black Swan event that almost everyone else missed" is letting themselves plead down to a class 4 misdemeanor.
Anyway, Ciely mentions these minimal mea culpas and then writes:
For starters, it's important to accept that the New York Times has always -- or at least for many decades -- been a far more editor-driven, and self-conscious, publication than many of those with which it competes. Historically, the Los Angeles Times, where I worked twice, for instance, was a reporter-driven, bottom-up newspaper. Most editors wanted to know, every day, before the first morning meeting: "What are you hearing? What have you got?"
It was a shock on arriving at the New York Times in 2004, as the paper's movie editor, to realize that its editorial dynamic was essentially the reverse. By and large, talented reporters scrambled to match stories with what internally was often called "the narrative." We were occasionally asked to map a narrative for our various beats a year in advance, square the plan with editors, then generate stories that fit the pre-designated line.
Reality usually had a way of intervening. But I knew one senior reporter who would play solitaire on his computer in the mornings, waiting for his editors to come through with marching orders. Once, in the Los Angeles bureau, I listened to a visiting National staff reporter tell a contact, more or less: "My editor needs someone to say such-and-such, could you say that?"
The bigger shock came on being told, at least twice, by Times editors who were describing the paper's daily Page One meeting: "We set the agenda for the country in that room."
Eat not just this bag of dicks, media, but all the bags of dicks.
You pompous incompetent half-wits.
By the way, Ciely goes on to say that the chief preoccupation of New York Times editors and reporters was not the world outside, but the internal jockeying for status within the New York Times itself.

Therapy Dogs Brought In to Buoy The Spirits of Depressed Capitol Hill Staffers
—Ace
These are the people making major decisions that affect your lives.
What about play-doh, coloring books, and all the #SafeSpace #RecoveryRoom accoutrements?
On a gloomy, rainy morning in D.C. — where President-elect Donald Trump won only 4 percent of the vote the night before — five therapy dogs waited to put a smile on staffers’ faces.
“I feel so much better now,” one intern said, stopping short when she walked into Cannon 121 on Wednesday.
...
Two giant white Samoyed therapy dogs — Zamboni and Spumoni — gave everyone who approached hugs and kisses.
“Out of everything in the country right now, no one needs it more than Capitol Hill,” said Mike Bober, president of the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council.
A patient at the VA on permanent Wait List for brain surgery concurred. "Definitely, no one needs it more than these spoiled, soft-handed brats."
Also enjoy this headline: Clinton's Defeat Means Lost Chances for Many Women on the Rise.
What they mean -- as the Twitter headline made clearer -- was that they were lining up for jobs in the Hillary's Vagina Administration and now have to remain as reporters.
Well I made that last part up. They didn't say that. But you know it's true.
The election of Trump has interrupted many female liberal reporters' wish to get out of writing Democratic propaganda for private employers and start writing Democratic propaganda for the government.
Hundreds of women who were poised to take jobs -- and burnish their careers -- in a Hillary Clinton administration are now facing deferred ambitions. As the first woman nominated as president by a major political party, Clinton said she intended to form a cabinet that reflected the country’s gender balance. Women were in the running for chief of staff and secretaries of treasury and defense, posts that previously only had been held by men. Her West Wing and executive branch agencies would have been staffed with women who've spent decades working their way up the Democratic Party's power structure.

"Her election would have been a next step for a lot of women to move up in their careers and contribute to the federal government," said Marianne Cooper, a sociologist at Stanford University’s Clayman Institute of Gender Research. "That would have normalized women in top political roles and shown what their leadership in Washington looks like."
The moment is now lost for crowding the government pipeline with a new generation of women, many of whom likely would have moved on to leadership in the corporate world or in elected office themselves.
Aw, their dreams must be "deferred." Nice word choice- - certainly chosen to recall the civil rights era slogan, "Justice deferred is justice denied."
The real victims in all this turns out to be upper middle class college educated upwardly mobile career gals.
Oh, and the Pepsi-Cola Corporation that sells poisonous sugar-water to your children also has a case of the hurtbutts.
employees.
"I had to answer a lot of questions from my daughters, from our employees. They were all in mourning," PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi told Andrew Ross Sorkin at The New York Times' DealBook conference on Thursday.
"Our employees were all crying," she said. "And the question that they're asking, especially those who are not white, 'Are we safe?' Women are asking, 'Are we safe?' LGBT people are asking, 'Are we safe?' I never thought I would have to answer those questions."
After congratulating Trump for his success, Nooyi, who supported Democrat Hillary Clinton in the presidential race, said everyone in the US needed assurance of their safety.
People are organizing a #boycottpepsi campaign on Twitter. Their stock declined a bit.
I don't know if that's warranted. I do now believe in using Social Justice Warrior tactics against those who use the tactics themselves -- but I don't see this as deploying such tactics, as the unhinged Grubhub CEO did when he intimated that Trump voters were not welcome in his company.
I think we should allow people to have their own Stupid Political Opinions as long as they're not deploying SJW coercive tactics to make other people submit to them.
This is just typical prog babytalk and play-doh kneading.

A Flurry of Snowflakes: EPA Staffers Cry, Need Safe Spaces as They Contemplate a Nation Without the Benefit of Their Wisdom
—Ace
Triggered.
U.S. EPA employees were in tears. Worried Energy Department staffers were offered counseling. Some federal employees were so depressed, they took time off. Others might retire early.
And some employees are in downright panic mode in the aftermath of Donald Trump's victory.
"People are upset. Some people took the day off because they were depressed," said John O'Grady, president of American Federation of Government Employees Council 238, a union that represents thousands of EPA employees. After Election Day, "people were crying," added O'Grady, who works in EPA's Region 5 office in Chicago. "They were recommending that people take sick leave and go home."
You may have heard, but "Climate Denier" Myron Ebell is leading the transition team for staffing the EPA, and may dread -- or, in some cases, dearly wish -- that Ebell is made the EPA Administrator.
Shock and awe, baby. Shock and awe.
Progs are making this and that demand that Trump reassure them and in fact commit to advancing their agenda.
But as a lazy, incompetent man once said: "Elections have consequences. And Eric [Cantor], I won."
