Wow! Van Jones on CNN now

[fleur-de-lisa]

and not being a dumbass! The subject is fake news.

I used to LOVE Van Jones. Then he cried on tv one day and said Il Douche was being 'presidential'!

I guess he regained his senses. Now he says Trump is a dick. Go figure!

1. Honestly.

I have always viewed Van Jones as being emotionally unstable and have wondered why a calm and collected person like Barack Obama would have given him national prominence.

3. He is a little bit unstable - that's a good way to put it.

When he's "on", there's no one better, but he seems to go adrift every now and then.

15. +1

5. I have to admit

I had a big old crush on Van Jones. I am a white woman in my fifties and I don't crush out on ANYBODY! But Van Jones was one smart, sexy, strong MFucker and I LOVED his style. Until he wimped out regarding Cheetolini.

I don't know about being unstable.

But a part of me died the day he said Donny Dipshit was 'presedential'.

8. Totally agree with your comment.

I have always viewed Van Jones as being emotionally unstable and have wondered why a calm and collected person like Barack Obama would have given him national prominence.

He's too wishy washy for my taste.

Next week, he may be saying that we should give tRumputin a break, and let him do his job.

What job since he's the laziest son o bitch EVER to be installed into the White House.

13. He may have finally found the plot again

But he's got a long way to go to win me back. I found his specials on CNN to be quite irritating as well, fawning over rural trump supporters and how we must come together and understand their concerns and fears and other assorted Pollyanna bullshit.

I will say though that lately I've been enjoying CNN's panels on cooper and couomo's shows.

2. Nice to see Van Jones back on CNN. Missed him. He is someone who nails it.

Van just said the Jeffrey Lord "this is why people say you say things that make people want to blow their brains out" in refering to the Russian bots helping the alt right attack McMaster.

[BannonsLiver]

4. He sure didn't "nail it" the night of Drumpf's state of the union address.

He mad an ass out of himself and that's being kind. He's just too hot and cold to take seriously.

[ecstatic]

6. Agreed. Hard to take him seriously now.

Especially when you include his Russia nothing-burger comments (which probably were taken out of context but who knows).

[applegrove]

7. He gave Trump too much credit for reading a speech. But I don't expect

someone who is that creative in his opposition to be spot on all the time. You must take risks to be creative. Because it is novel.

[BannonsLiver]

9. Having credibility is also important in his line of work.

[applegrove]

10. There are enough staid commentators on the tv who don't take risks.

There is ample room for a Van Jones. We are at war. You need creativity and looking at things in novel ways in a war. A war that the rich started so America would be less of a democracy and they would not have to pay taxes.

[BannonsLiver]

12. Oh sure. There's room for loads of people on cable.

Last time I checked I've got access to hundreds of channels, but with varying degrees of quality of content. I'll leave it at that.

11. Having credibility is also important in his line of work.

And IMHO, his credibility is now forever lacking since that night he cried about how presidential tRumputin was being.

tRumputin couldn't EVER fool me or get me to say anything nice about that lazy, rotten, racist, mentally-deteriorating, tReasonous son o bitch.

[JI7]

14. I didn't even watch him say that about trump but just knowing he did

Has made me look at him differently. I still like him.

But view him as a bit of a fool. I felt the same about axelrod since he said he didn't think trump was really a racist.
