“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.”

-Steven Covey

“Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. Thus people haunted by the purposelessness of their lives try to find a new content not only by dedicating themselves to a holy cause but also by nursing a fanatical grievance. A mass movement offers them unlimited opportunities for both.”

-Eric Hoffer

President Donald Trump will not nominate David Duke to replace justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. Senior Officials in the Trump administration confirmed today that Trump has no plans on nominating Mr. Duke, but did not specifically state that they would rule out any other white supremacists. The senior official was also silent on whether Mr Duke is being considered for Attorney General once Mr. Sessions is fired, which could theoretically happen next week. Mr. Duke was invited to appear on all the major news talk shows, where he was quoted as saying, “I would be honored to accept an appointment by President Trump if it were offered.”  This statement, along with a clip of Mr. Duke in front of a burning cross yelling “White Power!” were looped back-to-back for 9 hours straight on every news channel on the planet.
In a later press conference, White House spokesman Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed that Supreme Court candidates were indeed being interviewed, but did not comment on rumors that Trump may require candidates to literally choke out a hooker as a sign of loyalty.
