Displaying his familiar disregard for public sensibilities, Donald Trump has defiantly tweeted today that he has chosen former Brietbart Senior Editor and Alt-Right provocateur, Milo Yiannopoulos, to head up a new department under Health and Human Services focused on national oversight of Child Protective Services.
This comes as welcome news for Yiannopoulos who has been fired from Brietbart and had his book deal with Simon & Schuster cancelled following revelations of an interview he gave in which he appeared to support pedophilia. Added to that, word of an impending $100 million dollar lawsuit surfaced today being filed against Yiannopoulos by right wing commentator, scarecrow model and author, Ann Coulter, for “stealing my act”.
Responding to nearly uniform condemnation in the media (Fox News, Brietbart and Pravda all complimented Trump on his choice of Yiannopoulos and his intoxicating body musk), Trump responded with another tweet:
While Yiannopoulos has many detractors, he has gained new allies. NAMBLA (North American Man-Boy Love Association) has started up a grass roots organization to help defend Yiannopoulos against negative portrayals in the media and being denied the right to speak in public forums. Their new Yiannopoulos-focused entity, Protect Every Republican Voice (PERV) was exposed suddenly in a public place by NAMBLA, in a hastily called press conference in a local elementary school bathroom. They vowed to defend Yiannopoulos‘ views as successfully as they have their own.
Yiannopoulos is banned from Twitter for life due to his many racist, sexist and abusive tweets but he did release a public statement thanking Trump for appointing him to run the national CPS department.
“Thank you Donald Trump, as we discussed, you and I both like to be able to feel whatever we want,” Yiannopoulos stated. “And I just love the idea of being in such a satisfying position with kids.”
Trump says he will continue to build on choosing “the best people” for positions in his administration, now preparing a presidential pardon for Charles Manson to fill a top position at Homeland Security.
Hahaha! I laughed out loud when I saw “Protect Every Republican Voice” (PERV). AdLib! Another gem of an article.
This “appointment” is so fitting — especially given the past record of GOP shenanigans (“Hiking the Appalachian Trail,” “Wide Stances,” etc., etc.)
I see that poor Little Milo was terribly contrite today — briefly — once he learned that Simon and Schuster no longer want him, nor does Breitbart, nor does C-PAC. (When people on that moral plain are rejecting you, that’s some undiscovered ethical territory there!)
But he quickly rebounded and boasted that he would still be here “30 years from now,” when all the people who are “trying to bring him down are long gone.”
For a guy who has zero patience with “whiny feminist bitches,” he seems to do an Oscar-worthy job of pretending to be one! Have a little cheese with that whine, Milo.
Cheers Kes!
Sounds really desperate to me, having to insist that he’ll still be around 30 years from now. Like he knows this is actually his downfall and it all declines for him from here.
It’s an act but he’s married to it and depends on it, no escaping it or pedophilia now, that will never go away.
This was really the only way to destroy someone like this, they have to self-destruct. Demonizing him just gave him more import but now, being a leper even in the RW circles, he can be ignored and forgotten about.
If a deranged gadfly with no conscience falls in the media and there’s no one there to listen to him, does he really exist?
He is so over now and that is so sweet!
And it all happened so fast, AdLib! Every now and then, something like that happens. A big blowhard just collapses. Like McCarthy or Nixon. Whooooosh… All the air goes out.
Eerie that you would say “if he falls and no one is there to listen to him, does he exist,” because my son and I were just talking about Yiannopoulos and saying that he seems(seemed) to feel “real” only when he’s inflicting pain on others. Otherwise, he was like the Bad Witch in Oz…”I’m melllllllting…!”
There seems to be nothing left of him now but his curled-at-the-toes Guccis.
Kes, it is pretty stunning how quickly Milo self-destructed, being blown up by his own need to say the most offensive things.
Agree with you and your son, it does seem like he was a perverse Tinkerbell, if people weren’t gasping at him, he would die.
“What a world!” indeed!
Basically, a waste of skin.
KT, when you see such fragile, insecure, overcompensating assholes like him and Trump, you can only love when the public turns on them. They so desperately need to get attention and they’ve learned that by acting like assholes, they get it.
But when you go a bridge too far, the public turns away from you and that’s the worst pain they can suffer.
Looking forward to Trump’s impeachment/re-election loss because that will destroy him.
So funny, AdLib, and judging by the list of trump’s other hair-raising, misfit picks, would anyone be surprised if he doesn’t get a job in the WH giving “head” to closet republicans who are not “Father Michael”? That is if “Father Michael” even exists.
Instead of feeling sorry for himself, how about a thought for the millions of sexually abused children who didn’t “enjoy” it or think of it as a “learning curve” and are still traumatised by it throughout their adult lives?
Victim? What kind of a “victim” would try to capitalise on a childhood trauma to gain money and fame?
Someone without a single moral fiber or conscience. Milo Yappynopoulos (real name, Milo Hanrahan, born in Kent, England to a rich but dysfunctional family), is a fake who believes in nothing. An opportunist like trump.
Such a sweetheart. A son every mother and father would be proud of. Loves trump and calls him “Daddy.” Hates Muslims because “Islam is all bad”. Can’t be a racist because “All my boyfriends were/are black”.
Seriously??
Is he nothing but a hate filled little confused brat, taking out his aggression on the “other” to avenge his own miserable life story by faking knowledge and telling lies to gain attention, or is he just a bad actor? Actually, he sounds just like his “Daddy.”
He should be deported but the U.K. would label him as “an undesirable”. America should do the same.

Thanks Kalima!
I wouldn’t believe a word Milo says including his claim of being abused. Usually, I would take such a claim seriously but he’s so disqualified his credibility, it sure could be another convenient lie.
He is a fake, as I joked about in my post, he’s just another version of Ann Coulter, building a celebrity career out of intentionally saying the most offensive things he can think of. He doesn’t believe most of what he says, it’s obvious. He just reels out horrible words and seems almost anxious to have someone verbally attack him, like he needs it emotionally.
He’ll continue as Coulter does despite her self-immolation but like her, he will now be a redundant novelty only of interest to the RW nutjobs.
Now, Trump needs to be next!
I didn’t believe a single thing he said and he is such a lousy actor. In all the videos I have seen, nothing speaks to any conviction. When he lies he either turns his head away or looks down. He’s simply pathetic.
You might have already seen this Bill Maher interview, and he reminded me of loud and obnoxious drunks in a pub. The panel segment is priceless except when Maher foolishly compared him to Hitchens. Not a fan but at least he showed intellect and reasoning power. The loud mouthed fool showed nothing but an ignorant sewer mind. I laughed out loud when Larry Gilmore and Malcolm Vance told him to “fuck off”.
As you say, he might hang around like a trump groupie, but basically he’s done. After trump has been dethroned, who will even remember him? Milo who?

Milo Yiannopoulos Interview | Real Time with Bill Maher

MILO Confronts the Panel | Overtime with Bill Maher (HBO)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3cDLflyQ8TA
Kalima, I am a bit torn about Maher having him on his show. From the outset, I thought it stunk of a cheap ratings stunt and using Milo as a vehicle for Maher to sneer at those who oppose his bigoted words towards Muslims and insults of those who voice their disapproval of him.
As you said, Maher called him a young Hitchens and complimented him repeatedly. Yet after the pedophilia quotes came out, Maher was bragging to the NYT that HE brought Milo down.
I thought Milo was a symbol of free speech who deserved to speak his hatred, Bill? Isn’t he a young Hitchens? But your master plan was to lie about all of that as a trick to psychically “know” that someone else would uncover that interview with Milo praising pedophilia?
Maher is an egotistical ass who tries to pass off his self-promotion as conscience. Remember, this was the guy in the 2000s who was still hanging out at the Playboy mansion to pick up starstruck teenagers. And he’s “friends” with Ann Coulter who hasn’t a redeeming bone in her bony body?
Maher can make many strong attacks on Trump and Republicans but there’s a portion of him that is all about ego and ignorance and that always peeks through at one time or another.
Yes, I loved Larry’s and Malcolm’s smacking Milo with the kind of anger he finds amusing to whip up from a distance, he looked like a cowering child when having to face off with real people who take horrible words seriously.
I remember back in 2007/8, when Dems and Progressives on HP thought he was the best thing since hand wipes. I also remember his support of AH who turned out to be off her rocker at the end of her reign, and still a “secret” republican. Had to check him out and found him quite annoying as he made fun of Dems and Progressives, calling them “little, hysterical girls in skirts waving their arms about”. Quite honestly, I couldn’t understand their “hero worship” and when I mentioned it, some chewed my head off and called me a “troll”. I had never heard that word outside of scary fairytales, so looked it up. I think my reply was, “WTF” and included the link to Maher’s show where he had insulted them. Silence.
You are right, the Breitbart troll came off as a loud cowering child. For saying he’s supposed to be 32, we can’t be sure because of the badly applied, garish make up, he sounded like a frustrated teenager making excuses for not doing his homework. Maher having him on to annoy his panel who could run circles around him bound and blindfolded, shows that Maher himself enjoys the confrontations so basically he’s not much better than his guest. Then taking advantage and claiming he caused the troll’s downfall is beneath contempt.
Kalima, I think Maher started out okay but grew into a mini-Milo after the Bush Admin got his first show cancelled when he accused the military of being more cowardly than the 9/11 attackers because they killed from afar with missiles, etc. I think even that statement was intended as a mini-Milo shock statement to get publicity and it worked too well.
Many celebrities intentionally say and do things to vie for media attention, very often not even believing in what they say.
As you say Arianna was one of those too and you’re so right, she went loony towards the end of her time at HP, becoming obsessed with her wack New Agey BS about sleeping and thinking nice things solving all the world’s problems.
Maher had no intention to harm Milo when he had him on, it was all about Maher showing how coool he is by being able to bond with Milo as he has with other toxic women like AH and Ann Coulter. He practically cuddled with Milo and often agreed with him about terrible things.
It was an unintended by-product I think that certain people got so pissed at Milo being mainstreamed by Maher that they posted the pedophilia-praising video. And Maher, being the egotistical Milo-Lite that he is, had to splash around in the media saying, “I meant to do that! Look at me! Ain’t I great?!”
Milo is a vicious, bitter and insecure teenager who never grew up and in a way, so is Maher.
Well he’s not my cup of tea. Anyone who constantly snickers at his own assumed cleverness, has probably rehearsed it so the funny aspect of it is not at all sincere.
I suppose when the time comes he’ll take credit for toppling the trump monster too. Pretentious to the last snicker.
Ruh roh! Looks like I wasn’t far off calling Maher a mini-Milo. Check out this WAPO article about Maher being pro-pedophile depending on the sex of the pedophile:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/02/24/bill-maher-who-took-credit-for-the-downfall-of-milo-yiannopoulos-has-also-defended-adult-sex-with-children
Hmm…did Maher just pull a Milo and destroy himself with his ego?
Wouldn’t that be something? Two felled with the same blow.
Maher’s take on the school teachers was sick and he should be held accountable. So much for his claims of helping to bring down the Breitbart troll.
The myth that at 12,13 or 14 old boy is sexually mature just because he can get a hardon or father children, is rubbish. Ask any expert.
Yes Maher, there are limits, and sexual child abuse is at the top of the list of punishable offences, you creep.
