Careercow Keith Olbermann - A-logging commentator and writer with a massive hate-boner for Trump.

I used to like him back in his "Countdown" days (I even have his "Worst Person in the World" book. It's mostly just poking fun at stupid people). After awhile though he started his "Special Comments" bullshit and that's when he started grating on my nerves and I tuned out. I'm not surprised he went off the deep end -- I believe one of his former bosses put it, "he doesn't burn bridges, he napalms them".

(To give the devil his due, he does know his shit when it comes to sports, especially baseball.)
 
so um...what does tweeting at trump do? besides archiving one's petty insanity i mean.
It builds a lot of twitter popularity, which has no real function other than increase your ego I guess. There's an entire subgenre on twitter of people who follow Trump and have notifications on for any time he posts; and when he does, they race over who posts the wokest fastest response. A 20-something guy got to 1 million followers doing this over and over again. He keeps 'blocked by the potus' as a badge of honor in his description
 
Keith Theodore Olbermann is a political commentator making videos on GQ Magazine and author of TRUMP IS F'ING CRAZY coming October 17th and correspondent with The Resistance. Some can compare his behavior to Hirtes on Chris but in a different case. Olbermann's tantrums are well documented in every salt thread and produces content every day so why not contain all of it here in one thread? Why is Keith Olbermann a Lolcow? Well, let's look at some stories about him and some of his tweets:

I'm surprised this guy's married and has a job after reading all that tbh...
 
I don't understand how anyone can be so pants-shittingly mad so constantly and for so long without just burning out and not caring anymore.

A certain degree of righteous anger is rhetorically useful. After damn near 20 years of every single thing, no matter how trivial, being the Hitlerpocalypse, the schtick is getting old. And it's amazing he hasn't literally popped an aneurysm on air.

Not everything is the end of the world. Not everything is storming the beaches at Normandy.

Dude needs to fucking lighten up.

I'm not surprised he went off the deep end -- I believe one of his former bosses put it, "he doesn't burn bridges, he napalms them".

This is probably his single most negative feature. You can see why he'd get fired from some places, but look at the shit he pulled at MSNBC. This is a network practically custom made for his exact brand of material, and he somehow managed to fuck that up, too.

He doesn't just treat the "enemy" like shit, but his own side, too, and then whoever he turns on is Hitler incarnate just like Trump.

He takes being an insufferable prima donna to such insane extremes that not even ratings would have saved the series of jobs he's burned to the ground in a rage over some petty or outright imaginary slight.

As much as I dislike the guy I watched the 30 for 30 on the T206 Honus Wagner card in which he appeared and he gave great information. I assume they had to cut out 2-3 hours of him smugly ranting like a madman to get the few minutes they actually used.

 
Olbermann admitted that girls beat him up in high school. He smoked a pipe in college. The last 40 years of his life have been a misplaced primal scream session aimed at finding someone to blame for his misery besides himself.
Why do I get a Dobson the Blue Balled Bear vibe from this revelation? (You know, where he leaves out the part where he was an asocial, nasty mouthy douche FIRST). Seems like a combo of :autism: mixed with a hefty dose of at least 3 co-morbid undiagnosed mental disorders. Bipolarity seems to be one of them.

Is the left ever going to get less cartoonish? They need to stop kicking and screaming already, Donald is getting results, meanwhile the left is throwing tantrums because he's not the massive failure they keep spinning him as. If anything, they're only ensuring that Democrats will never be voted into office ever again. Just STFU already. I'm fully aware that the pendulum swings both ways, but only if you stop holding onto it.

As someone who's a-political, I say "build that wall", "nuke the Norks" and "#MAGA", motherfucker. We could not have a better president in office right now. Hillary was a shady, flip-floppy underhanded criminal who pandered to PC culture & harbored her cheating, rapist husband, Bernie was a socialist retard who wanted to increase minimum wage to fifteen dollars and Jeb was a limpwristed pussy with the charisma of moldy cheese.

The extreme left and right both, attract those of less than healthy mental states. The extreme left kicks and screams precisely because they are exceptional. Logic is rarely a motivating factor when one is unable to logic at all. (Cocaine is a helluva drug.) The Democrats' current problem is that their quest for votes has led them to appealing to the most exceptional segment of the population, because postmodernist brainwashing has taught them that the only way to get attention from the average Joe Schmo is to act exceptional. This is because they confused the protests and marches of the Civil Rights Era with acting exceptional, and since things "only" got done after (they imagined) people in the marches were acting exceptional, the only way to get shit done today, is to act exceptionally exceptional, because by this point most people with a life have tuned out in disgust.
 
While I don't think Trumps' presidency is going to be historically good in and of itself, the legacy of it is going to carry forward in a positive way for a while by utterly destroying 20+ years of frustrating idea-stifling political correctness.

His election was the death knell of PCism, people got sick of it, and this was a wake up call to anyone who could figure it out - "no more PC candidates"

Trump is a vaccination to the body politic.

No one from here forward is going to have to seriously address the petty claims that you're a racist or a sexist for stupid reasons and yet have to give them time less you appear to not care. Now you can just shake your head and say "Really? This again" and the electorate won't care, and those in the media who will still come to call will find only their fellow media members give a damn, the public has had enough, and the administration of Trump will prove it.

And guys like Olbermann, completely unable to process this, will go to the nursing home convinced we're only seconds away from that great fascist takeover, even though it's been 40 years......
