American Silliness, naturally including CNN. January 21, 2017

University Gives Kids Juice Boxes, Legos to Deal with Trump Inauguration  . . . "GUPride, an LGBTQ student organization at Georgetown University, is setting up a safe space to help young people deal with the aftermath of making America great again.
"Join GUPride for a night of self-care after a long week. We will have Legos, juice boxes and more," the Facebook invitation reads. 
     "It's unclear if sippy cups will be provided or if students should bring their own. GUPride did not return my calls.
     "The good folks over at Campus Reform got their hands on an email sent to club members with all the juicy details of what they called "Post-inauguration self-care."
     “ 'There will be legos and stuffed animals and coloring books—come to embrace the inner child," the LGBTQ club declared." . . .

From Drudge comes this pair on CNN, which match nicely:
1. Nancy Sinatra Slams CNN, Congratulates Trump: ‘Why Do You Lie, CNN?’  . . . "Responding to an article published by CNN originally entitled, “Nancy Sinatra not happy Trump using father’s song at inauguration
She also congratulated the 45th president, tweeting, “Good luck to you.”
 2. Valparaiso YMCA Accused Of Censorship After Banning CNN From TVs  . . . “In order to eliminate perceived political bias associated with national news outlets, the Valparaiso Family YMCA will only be showing local news channels in the future.' ” . . .

TD wishes to thank CNN for their many contributions to this post.  CNN reporter Brynn Gingras breathlessly riding along with a bus of female protesters heading to DC  "CNN shows signs of going full opposition to the Trump presidency, probably in hopes of capturing the loyal viewership of Trump haters.  After being denounced as a fake news outlet, perhaps this is the only reasonable option left." 
. . . "CNN’s compilation of her previous work shows that the assignment prior to today was a report on how the inauguration could be traumatic for the Rockettes.
Rioters Pitch Massive Tantrum During Inaugural Ceremonies
"If history has taught us anything, it’s that setting fire to municipal trash cans brings about rapid political change…
"During the inaugural ceremonies, anti-Trump rioters burned things and smashed car windows." . . .
Fox News' Griff Jenkins and this kid were the pinnacle of silliness, but I'd rather not go into it again

College Declares 'You Guys' To Be Offensive  "What are they putting in the water in the University of Wisconsin system? On the heels of UW-Madison students trying to get a conservative student organization declared a "hate group," we have the "Check Yourself Educational Campaign" at UW-River Falls." . . .
"Why not: Erases the identities of those who are in the room."
 No, this is NOT fromThe Onion . 

NBC Uses Pic Of Sikh Man To Represent ‘Radical Islam’ Mentioned In Trump Speech  The Sikh man did have a point; they are not Muslims, but some have been murdered by ignorant gunman seeking revenge against Muslims. Sikhs differ from Muslims in a number of ways.
