What the F*CK is going on at @nytimes? This is pathetic, condescending, and insulting. Feel sorry for many fine journalists who work there.

1. What the actual f&ck, indeed?

What's that about? Who's behind it? I've never heard of such a thing, and I hope it backfires.

They just got a piece of my mind: "Are you serious? Since when does a supposedly reputable news outlet actively solicit praise from its readers for any public official, ever? Just aside from the fact that after wracking my brain I still can’t think of a single damn thing to say about Trump that would be even marginally “nice," the fact that you are actually asking people to do this is absurd, insulting and bizarre. I suspect this will backfire, bigly."

2. I told them

that this is the sort of thing I would expect to read in the state-owned newspaper of a dictatorship. I reminded them that their job is to criticize those in office to get them to do better, not to "praise" them. I pointed out that they wouldn't be praising Hillary Clinton had she been in the White House.

6. and I was trying hard to think of something nice to say. But looking at your comment--I, too will

just leave a comment. Thanks.

10. Maybe if they get thousands of e-mails expressing annoyance or outrage,

they will get the message that they're not doing their job, and that we're not fooled.

3. Positive or praiseworthy ok here it goes

Late nite comedians have a lot to chose from.

Shows like Chris, Rachel, and Lawrence ratings have gone up.

He has motivated a gotv against the r's

4. Orangutans are forming a separatist movement.

Primates unite!

5. It'll be interesting though to see what they get.

What will people consider praiseworthy? Will it be vague "He made America great again" propaganda? Will we get a look at what his supporters consider great? Will they get the ever-loving crap trolled out of them? What will they choose to print?

7. He's easy to locate in a crowd.

You could spot that head a mile away.

8. He hasn't killed all of us ... Yet.

9. I saw on line a panel of mixed voters. All were asked on thing positive about trump

One person said it was that he takes off weekends and goes golfing because those are two days less every week that he is working on damaging our country

13. That's actually a rather good point

Do we actually WANT him to be focusing more on his job (insofar as it involves him doing bad things that hurt people)?

11. Let's see....how about this:

President Trump is very open: Not a thought enters his mind that he doesn't blurt out immediately.

Is that positive enough?

12. He didn't say anything racist on Cinco De Mayo

this year at least.
