Samuel Cohn on All Societies Die, Rep: Dumb Trump, not the problem, Reporter Scold GOP Senator

Dr. Samuel Cohn talks about the inconvenient truth, All Societies Die. Rep. points out Trump was too dumb to be our real problem. Reporter scolds Rob Portman (R-OH).

• Dr. Samuel Cohn considers societal decline and the explosions of violence in a variety of historical and contemporary settings including the Byzantine Empire, the French Revolution, and the present-day Middle East. He is the author of “All Society Die: How To Keep Hope Alive.”


• Congressman Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) did not pull any punches as he pointed out there are forces at work beyond a dumb Donald Trump. Heed his call. The attack on United States Capitol, the insurrection was clearly well organized by many. The New York Times’ well-researched video on the actual event made it very clear. That kind of organization is well beyond Donald Trump’s demonstrated intellect.


• Dana Bash challenged Senator Rob Portman to do something substantive. She told him, as a Republican, he should tell the Right-Wing media to stop lying about vaccines. This may have gone past most of those who listened. But believe it or not, like microaggressions are cumulative, assigning blame and responsibility through interviews can make an entire minute of word salad and spinning garbage moot. That is what happened with Dana Bash and Senator Rob Portman (R-OH).


• These White House reporters seem to live on a different earth. It is hard to believe this silly question to Jen Psaki did not embarrass her. One would think that the constancy of virtually slapping down the Fox News-like questions from Peter Doocy would be enough for any given press briefing. Evidently, that is not the case.
