PASADENA, Calif.Featuring heavy hitters from the realms of cable news and punditry, Politiconwhich is to politics what Comic-Con is to superheroes and comic bookstook place July 29-30 at the Pasadena Convention Center. This politi-palooza attracted prominent speakers, performers and audiences from across the liberal and conservative ends of the spectrum. Highlights of the chattering classes chitchat at Politicon included:

Po-Crazy

One panel I attended at Independence Hall was entitled Trump: Genius or Lunatic? Sally Kohn, an openly gay, reliably lefty commentator who has opinionated on Fox News and CNN, moderated the discussion with pro- and anti-Trump participants. Referring to the president and his, uh, state of mind, Kohn set the stage for the weekend talkfest by paraphrasing the old Gershwin Bros. song Lets Call the Whole Thing Off, quipping: You say potato, I say po-crazy.

Coulter interrupta

Next up at Independence Hall was the Censorship on Campus panel, featuring author and professional provocateur Ann Helter Skelter Coulter. As soon as the venomous Frulein was introduced, two activists costumed as brownshirts with swastika armbands disrupted the panel to Heil our Hitler! giving their furious Fhrer the stiff-armed fascist salute. To the consternation of what appeared to be a majority of the crowd composed of Coulter acolytes, who started shouting USA! USA! and to the amusement of others, the ersatz Nazis shut the shrewish loudmouth up for about five minutes before they were peaceably ejected by security.

But as soon as Coulter started spewing her hate speech, Refuse Fascism leftists (presumably linked to the Revolutionary Communist Party) unfurled an anti-Trump red banner and shouted her down. After another five-minute pause that aggravated the righties in the audience, the two Reds were led out. As the saying goes, The show must go on.

Coulter boohooed about how her right to freedom of speech was short-circuited at Berkeley by far-left militants. This was rich coming from someone whos made a career out of denouncing oppressed minorities for complaining about their victimhoodyou know, little things like poverty, racism and other societal injustices Coulter has never had to confront. Now that she is being held accountable for her outrageous comments, Coulters playing the victim card herself. Poor little orphan Annie!

Fellow panelists, comedian Greg Proops and weblogger Xeni Jardin, begged to differ with Coulter. Jardin inconveniently reminded the rightwing ranter and raver that speakers are responsible for what they publicly say. Coulter pretending to be a First Amendment champion is rather hilarious, considering how she slimed anti-Iraq War notables as unpatriotichey, Annie-get-your-gun, where are them thar WMDs anyway?and she wrote Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism, lauding one of the most tyrannical U.S. politicians and tramplers of free speech rights of all time, Sen. Joe McCarthy, who to Coulter was just a poor misunderstood little boy.

Of course, now that its a rightwinger being charged with conspiring with Russia, Coulter doesnt have much to say about the Trump camps alleged Kremlin cavorting and colluding: But when that shoe was on the left foot during the 1940s/1950s, it was them gosh darn treasonous liberals! Coulter and her campus censorship panel also had nothing to say about infringement of First Amendment rights for critics of Israeli government and military policies and restrictions of the rights of professors, students, guest speakers, etc., who support Palestinians and the BDS movement. Wheres your outrage, Ann?

At the end, Coulter was treated like a rock star by her fans as she dispensed autographs amidst Nuremberg-like adulation; but not everybody was buying it (or her books) or belonged to the Hitler-Jugend. Elizabeth Ortiz, journalism student at California State University, Long Beach, expressed anger at Coulters typically elitist, disparaging remarks about community college students.

Like a rolling Roger Stoned

Day Two of Politicon was also well attended, despite the fact that now-you-see-him-now-you-dont Trump mouthpiece The Mooch was, mysteriously, a no-show for his scheduled Anthony Scaramucci Splains appearance. (The Mooch has some splaining to do about his disappearance, but I guess loyal Donald told him Scooch, Mooch! and the pooch hit the road.) However, another professional Donald Kool-Aid drinker (apparently accompanied by bodyguards) was in the house for a talk titled Roger Stone Holds Court. Former MSNBC host/author Tour tepidly interviewed Trump trickster extraordinaire Stone, who jokingly compared the outgoing Mooch to comedian Andrew Dice Clay, interestingly, two fallen figures whom Stone seems drawn to.

The oppo research meister cut his political teeth working on Tricky Dicks Committee to Re-Elect the President (CREEP). Stoner showed himself as a profane jumble of contradictions: He supports marijuana legalization, opposes Americans [being] surveilled for strictly political reasons, and ballyhoos Nixon as a great peacemaker and bastion of progressivism. Perhaps Stone was too stoned from imbibing all that wacky tobacky to remember Nixons mass murder of millions in Indochina and Chile?

In any case, in a similar fact-denying way, spinning like an out-of-control dreydl at Hanukkah, Stone, the apprentices apologist, praised his pal Donald. A young female Muslim questioner would have none of it, confronting Stone about Trumps Islamophobia. A short-haired young man immaculately groomed in a suit and tie (was he en route to a funeral?) expressed admiration for Stones sartorial splendor and viewpoints but asked him to please refrain from using obscenities. Not without a sense of humor, Stone wryly replied, Ill take that under advisement.

Its ironic that Stone, who wrote the book The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ, is such a big Nixon booster. Stone is probably praying that when his buddy Trump makes his anticipated departure from the White House before the end of his term, hell do so the way Milhous didinstead of how JFK did. Roger that!

Young Turks vs. Young Jerks

In a spirited debate attended by hundreds, The Young Turks Cenk Uygur debated reactionary provocateur Ben Shapiro in the capacious Civic Auditorium. Their respective supporters enthusiastically booed and applauded their respective champions, but nobody in the house came to blows. Closing out the tte-tte, the lack of violence amongst a crowd with strongly differing opinions prompted moderator Steven Olikara, founder of the nonpartisan Millennial Action Project, to comment, Thats what Politicon is all about. And in referring to the fervor expressed by those leaning left and right for Uygur and Shapiro, Olikara added, Now we know who the 2020 candidates should be (assuming, of course, that the Republic survives long enough for another rigged presidential election).

Something for everyone: C Comedy Two Nights!

Following the debate the Civic Auditorium was the site of Politicons grand finale, Sunday Night Comedy, featuring part-Mexican, former Daily Show correspondent Al Madrigal (currently co-starring in Showtimes Im Dying Up Here) and two current Daily Show correspondents, feminist Michelle Wolf and Roy Wood Jr., plus lefty Greg Proops, performing political standup that, among other things, excoriated El Presidente. Pro-GOP comic Adam Yenser, a writer for NBCs The Ellen DeGeneres Show, also delivered a funny set.

Politicon had a heady dose of comedy, ranging from the right to the left ends of the laugh-o-meter spectrum. In addition to performances there were also comedy-oriented panels, including Sundays GOP-tilting Conservatively Unplugged! Presents Right Wing Comedy in These Trumptastic Times in Equality Hall. Panelists included comic Evan Sayet (who wrote for Bill Maher until he saw the right), Al-Sonja Rice-Schmidt, Eric Golub and Yenser, a Republican who was not a Trump supporter and stressed that when it comes to comedy, humor should trump ideology.

This panel was moderated by Judd Dunning, co-host of Conservatively Unplugged! a new righty weekly political entertainment news program that was screened prior to the Saturday Night Comedy program headlining Trae Crowder, the Liberal Redneck. I watched the 20-minute Conservatively Unplugged! video and found this wannabe righty counterpart to programs such as The Daily Show to be pretty droll. In it, Dunning comes across like a dunce and to tell the truth, I actually thought Conservatively Unplugged! was spoofing Republican-leaning comics. The following day, when Dunning moderated the Right Wing Comedy in These Trumptastic Times he actually called comedian Louis C.K. C.K. Louis, so maybe Dunning not only plays a doofus on TV but really is one offscreen, too.

Also on Sunday the Egyptian Jon Stewart, Bassem Yousseff, Madrigal and other comics took part in the Is It Funny or Offensive? Presents: Humor, Satire & Speech in the Age of Trump, moderated by Norman Golightly, CEO and Founder of https://isitfunnyoroffensive.com/ at Liberty Hall. (For my similarly themed feature in the Progressive, which includes original comments by Yousseff, Trae Crowder, Stephanie Miller, Dean Obeidallah, etc., go to: http://progressive.org/magazine/follow-the-funny/.)

Chelsea handles the Prez

On Saturday Chelsea Handler merrily made mincemeat of The Donald in a hilarious interview with Jake Tapper at Democracy Village. The CNN reporter asked her about humor being less balanced since the Jay Leno era of late night comedy. The Netflix talk show host forthrightly replied: Now if you dont speak up youre going to regret it later. We have to be held responsible. Trump scares the shit out of me. Im authentic [If Im considered] divisive I dont care. Im more informed and responsibleI have the Trump family to thank.

As for Trumps tweets against transgender people being allowed to serve in the military, Handler snapped, Please shut the fuck up. Take more Viagra. When Tapper avowed that he didnt take Viagra jokes personally, Handler quipped, You will, adding: Trump should worry more about transfats than transgender. Hes unstable, he has late stage syphilis. Handler proceeded to list symptoms of the venereal disease she attributed to Trump, claiming, Im an M.D. so I know. When Tapper reminded Handler that shed admitted to never completing college she laughed off being caught in her white lie (and could there be any other kind when referring to the white-supremacist-in-chief?). Chelsea also advocated in favor of allowing Syrian refugees into America, even offering to let them stay at her housealthough humorously admitting shed move out if they did.

The Presidents Show of Shows

For me, the highlight of Politicon was Trump impersonator Anthony Atamanuik of Comedy Centrals The President Show, wherein The 45th and final president did an hour-long riff bluer than Lenny Bruce or George Carlin on Trump, Bannon, Mooch, Priebus, et al, culminating with him being interviewed by Bassem Yousseff. The in-costume Atamanuiks impersonation of The Donald gives Alec Baldwin a run for his SNL money. Indeed, Atamanuiks wickedly insightful lampooning and harpooning of the great white whale of comedy is reminiscent of Charlie Chaplins spoofing of Hitler in the 1940 satirical masterpiece The Great Dictator and also of Hawaii comedian Frank De Limas mocking of Imelda Marcos in full drag during his Waikiki nightclub act after the Filipino tyrants fled to Oahu.

In person, Atamanuiks no holds barred sarcasm is more risqu than on his Comedy Central Thursday night laugh riot. At the Civic Auditorium, dressed as Trump, he daringly joked about The Donald trying to finger my daughter (Ivanka, not Tiffany), then turning to the audience, dementedly saying, Im not sick, right? Im the guy with the nuke codes. Me! Can you believe it? At one point Atamanuiks character falls into a sort of trance, wherein he lays out a very, clear concise, sophisticated analysis of contemporary capitalism setting the stage for Trumps rise. Then he snapped out of his momentary lapse into lucidity and seriousness and in a Q&A with Yousseff, under the Egyptians questioning, Trump reached the conclusion Im a secret Muslim!

A splendid time was had by all

Politicons panoply of politics for news junkies featured much more during its Pasadena weekend. Many others notables participated, including Daily Show writer Lizz Winstead, America Ugly Betty Ferrera, Grace Parrara of Larry Wilmores Comedy Central The Nightly Show, actor/director Rob Reiner, MSNBCs Joy Reid, etc. There was a cavernous exhibition hall with booths sponsored by ACLU, Muslims for Progressive Values (supported by Pakistani-American comedienne Mona Shaikh), MSNBC, Young Americans for Freedom, medicinal marijuana, etc.

If I have one complaint about Politicon its that in future, the gathering should also include panels, speakers and booths of the farther left to present a socialist perspective and alternative to liberalism and the Democratic Party. After all, libertarians, who are to the right of the Republican Party, participatedso why not Marxists, anarchists, Antifas and others on the left?

Despite the presence of thousands of liberal and conservative activists, while interactions were passionate, Politicon remained civil, with peaceful coexistence prevailing. Living in Los Angeles, I never saw so many Trump supporters, although the left-leaners may have outnumbered the righties. Yet, in the spirit of free speech and democracy, comity and tolerance won the day, bridging the partisan divide by allowing freedom of expression for all. Perhaps Politicon is a model for our divided nation.

Because while you may say potato and I say potahto, hearing all viewpoints in the free marketplace of ideas is a quintessentially American ideal. And if one side deprives the other sides freedom of speech, we may find, in the Gershwins words:

But oh, if we call the whole thing off Then we must part And oh, if we ever part Then that might break my heart.

Ann Coulter interrupta, Chelsea Handler, Roger Stone & more at Politicon - People's World

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter on Wednesday lavished praise onWhite House adviser Stephen Miller during his appearance at the White House press briefing, calling it "the best moment of the Trump presidency since the inauguration."

Coulter, a longtime fan of Miller, said we need to clone Stephen Miller and appoint him to every cabinet position in a string of tweets.

The great Stephen Miller speaking at White House press conference right now. MUST SEE!!!!!! Coulter first tweeted, going on to say that Miller was eating presss lunch and Experts say many people voted for Trump because they want Stephen Miller running the country.

Millers rare appearance at the podium was filled with heated exchanges with reporters about President Trumps proposals to reduce the level of legal immigration. Miller toldThe New York Timess Glenn Thrush that his newspaper shouldhire low-skilled immigrants and accused CNNs Jim Acosta of a "cosmopolitan bias."

Miller also minimized the importance of the poem inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty welcoming immigrants, which he said was added after the statue was installed.

Idiot reporter cites poem later added to Statue of Liberty as of [sic] it's a founding document, binding US government officials, Coulter tweeted about the exchange between Miller and Acosta.

The great Stephen Miller speaking at White House press conference right now. MUST SEE!!!!!!

We need to clone Stephen Miller and appoint him to every cabinet position.

Stephen Miller eating press's lunch. MUST SEE! Long faces in the press room.

Experts say many people voted for Trump because they want Stephen Miller running the country.

This press conference would be a great opportunity to announce Kris Kobach as new homeland secretary!

This press conference is the best moment of the Trump presidency since the inauguration.

Idiot reporter cites poem later added to Statue of Liberty as of it's a founding document, binding US government officials.

I wonder if it would help if all Trump spokesmen were as smart as Stephen Miller.

Ann Coulter: 'We need to clone Stephen Miller and appoint him to every cabinet position' - The Hill (blog)

In 1994, after 40 years in the wilderness, Republicans swept both houses of Congress, running on Newt Gingrichs Contract With America, in which the GOP promised to hold votes on 10 popular policies in the first 100 days. They won, fulfilled the contract, and went on to control the House for more than a decade.

More recently, the country gave the GOP the House in 2010, the Senate in 2014 and the presidency in 2016. But were not seeing any difference. The GOP has become a ratchet, never reversing Democratic victories, but only confirming them with teeny-tiny alterations.

Its time for the voters to issue a Contract With Republicans. Unless our elected representatives can complete these basic, simple tasks, were out. There will be no reason to care about the GOP, anymore.

Whether these objectives are accomplished by President Trump or a rhesus monkey, the Democrats, the Bull Moose Party or the U.S. Pirate Party it will make no difference to us. We just need somebody to fulfill this contract in order to get our vote.

Here are our first three contract terms.

People said the chant, Build the wall! was mere shorthand for a whole slew of immigration policies, unified by the single idea of putting Americans interests if not first, then at least above the interests of complete strangers to whom we owe absolutely nothing. It was called a term of art, meaning we want to stop sacrificing the welfare of our nation on the altar of liberal idiocy.

Build the wall was said to entail: a Muslim ban, deporting illegals, ending unconstitutional sanctuary cities, ending Obamas unconstitutional executive amnesty, a dead-stop to the refugee scam and a massive reduction in legal immigration.

Yes, it means all that. But it also means: Build the wall.

If this is done only for reasons of conservative ideology, in recognition of the fact that the United States is a sovereign nation, entitled to protect its homeland, thats fine with me.

But I note in passing that, if I were a progressive constantly virtue-signaling on transgenders and refugees, and occasionally pretending to care about African-Americans, the very last thing Id want to see is the continuing dump of low-wage workers on the country, undermining black fathers ability to earn a living, to stay married and to pass down savings and a work ethic to their children.

The great civil rights hero Barbara Jordan understood that. The fact that our current low-rent liberals are unable to rise to her level is all the proof we need of their uselessness.

Moreover, in the future, we will once again have presidents with a taste for fascist executive orders, purporting to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. We will continue to have bought-and-paid-for legislators, pushing cheap labor in return for campaign donations. In the blink of an eye, they can undo every part of Trumps America First agenda on immigration, just as Obama undid our victory in Iraq.

A wall is the only part of Trumps immigration reforms that will not be instantly reversed by the next Barack Obama or George Bush. Allowing border patrol agents to do their jobs is a policy that lasts only as long as Trump is president. A wall is forever.

Republicans need to stop having their victories written in wet sand. During the campaign, Trump vowed to impose a Muslim ban if elected; both political parties hysterically denounced him; he won the election; issued a highly modified, temporary travel restriction from a handful of majority Muslim countries; and ... a handful of carefully selected federal court judges announced that, during the Trump administration, they would be implementing immigration policy.

Thats why President Trump must appoint, and the Senate confirm, brilliant conservative judges, preferably in their 30s and with good EKGs, so that they can keep issuing opinions well into their 90s.

As long as they are sufficiently vetted to ensure were getting no David Souters or Harriet Miers vettings even MORE exhaustive than the alleged rectal probes given to the San Bernardino terrorists before admitting them to commit mass murder Supreme Court justices can have nearly the same permanence as the wall.

3) STOP WASTING MONEY AND PRECIOUS LIVES ON POINTLESS WARS

The left is way ahead of us on this one, already hard at work turning the greatest military in the world into taxpayer-funded adventures in lesbianism and transgenderism. (Sorry, taxpayers! We gave your Social Security to mental-case penis-choppers.)

Every recent war has been counterproductive at best. At worst, they have been meat-grinders for our bravest young men. Imagine that some small portion of the trillions of dollars poured into the endless and ongoing! war in Afghanistan had been used to build a 100,000-seat soccer stadium in Baghdad. And then imagine that we built 100 more just like it, right next to one another.

If we had taken a satellite photo of all those stadiums filled to capacity, the caption would be: Not one American life is worth all the lives pictured here.

Thats not anti-Arab. Im sure they would feel exactly the same. I would respond, Yes, of course, youre right to feel that way.

If were ever attacked, we should be prepared to unload our full arsenal. But its not our job to create functioning democracies in primitive rape-based societies around the globe.

Apart from an attack on U.S. soil by a foreign country, we are going to live our lives, go to work, celebrate the Fourth of July, and never bother learning the difference in Sunni and Shia Arabs. Once a decade, when we fleetingly remember Yemen or Saudi Arabia, we will hope theyre doing well, then get back to our lives surrounded by a wall and living in a constitutional democracy, where our greatest young men arent continually sacrificed in pointless wars.

Here are our first three contract terms.

1) BUILD THE WALL

People said the chant, "Build the wall!" was mere shorthand for a whole slew of immigration policies, unified by the single idea of putting Americans' interests if not "first," then at least "above the interests of complete strangers to whom we owe absolutely nothing."

2) SUPREME COURT

Republicans need to stop having their victories written in wet sand. During the campaign, Trump vowed to impose a Muslim ban if elected; both political parties hysterically denounced him; he won the election; issued a highly modified, temporary travel restriction from a handful of majority Muslim countries; and ... a handful of carefully selected federal court judges announced that, during the Trump administration, they would be implementing immigration policy.
