The AP in a new article narrates the path of the disinformation campaign related to the lie that Ukraine is the villain of the 2016 election interference in the US. Getting past it as a lingering media frame remains as the GOP keeps propping it
The media has been trying to will Joe Biden as the undisputed favorite since his entry to the Democratic Primary. FiveThirtyEight.com's Nate Siver's analysis should dispel that fallacy. Did he project an easier path for Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren? Nate Silver all but says Biden
The disinformation continues as a new week will bring perhaps that impeachment trial, even if some of us might want the GOP to sweat a bit more. x These continued violations of Iraq’s sovereignty by groups not loyal to the Iraqi government must end.— Secretary
Rand Paul appeared on Meet the Press with Chuck Todd this morning once again. There was no pandering yet no serious probing. It led however to Paul making some statements that when evaluated to the core speaks a truth few are willing to accept. Rand Paul very artfully
There is a lot to this story but it boils down to one thing, disrespect and unpatriotic. The legs were returned…unadjusted and unuseable. I know and many vets know there are hoops to jump through but many get tired of waiting for permission to
Lots of complaints lately, here and elsewhere, about Mike Bloomberg spending hundreds of millions of dollars (pocket change for him) to try to, in essence, buy the Democratic nomination. But suppose he doesn’t get it? It’s often been the case that money alone does not
Killing the social safety net is the wet dream for the GOP and while Trump will not mention it in 2020, there is evidence that he’s made that second-term promise to the GOP. It’s the same playbook we’ve seen — raise deficits and loot the treasury
Apparently Alan Dershowitz got insulted when he claimed he had a perfect sex life, and forensic psychiatrist Bandy X. Lee thought it verged on delusion like his buddy, IMPOTUS*. Darn those tweets and darn that tendency to lawfare. This may have seemed like symmetric media messaging

www.msn.com/… Oklahoma Attorney General Michael Rogers has notified Governor Kevin Stitt that an initiative to expand Medicaid has qualified to be placed on the ballot this year. More than enough valid signatures were collected in the fall to require a vote which will be known
Since the concept of imminent has become stretched, so should that compliance, if only to make Moscow Mitch sweat, since it appears that he’ll do whatever he pleases. “Imminent” means something, something to Mike Pompeo and that rule should apply. Speaker Pelosi simply needs to
I’m just sharing this video on how Republicans, the Never Trumper republicans organized as the Lincoln Project, are slamming the orange dingleberry and, his death cult bullshit disguised as religion for the simple minded. Kapow!! This is exactly what the world needs, a united effort
Darn that Trump, he lied again. So much imminence, so little evidence for a targeted air strike that was meant to distract from an impeachment trial. President Trump said on Friday that a senior Iranian general killed by a U.S. drone strike had been planning attacks
It is looking like there only “might” be witnesses in the Trump impeachment trial as it looks like the Articles will get transferred to the Senate next week. Then Trump, in a shell game, will invoke executive privilege as John Bolton complies with a Senate subpoena. As

E. Howard Hunt’s storytelling could return as one can imagine Trump's last State of the Union speech (SOTU) as unhinged, the second SOTU in history to be delivered by an impeached POTUS. In the age of “threat imminence” new yet improbable CTs will emerge, as their narratives
