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
Yeah, I’m fairly confident this is the goofiest shit you’re going to see and read today. (Second tweet) x Trump says he doesn't think global warming is a hoax (contradicting many of his past statements), then adds, “I want clear air, clean water” (which are
A front-page diary right now is detailing how SoS Pompeo’s explanations for killing Soleimani make no sense: Mike Pompeo keeps blowing up Donald Trump’s excuses for blowing up an Iranian general. Turns out there’s a very good reason why Pompeo has to keep coming up
Pompeo, Esper, Milley, and Haspel did the classified briefing to the House and are now making the same presentation to the Senate. Responses broke along party lines. Rep Gerry Connolly, a Democratic Foreign Affairs Committee member, says was utterly unpersuaded by the motive, reason and
As we all know, U.S. Senator Martha McSally (R. AZ) is one of the most vulnerable Senators this cycle and Democrats have a strong recruit in Mark Kelly (D. AZ) and are spending big to attack McSally’s record: A new super PAC is targeting GOP
Threats against 52 Iranian “cultural sites” are more Trumpian gaslighting and a projection of hope that Iran will reciprocate by attacking the US in a way that galvanizes national support for military action like 9/11. President Trump doubles down on his threat to attack Iranian
Trump did hold the aid to ensure a personal benefit including the ordering of various agencies and staff to rationalize the hold in order to force a Ukraine investigation announcement. Trump may still be emboldened to force such a statement from Ukraine president Zelensky after that
Trump mentioned his cameo in Home Alone 2 now two days ago as a minor aside while referring to the film as a Xmas classic during a video conference. Twitter decided to make it trend especially among Trump’s Canadian anti-Trudeau followers, still triggered by the NATO leaders’ gossip

Like the Kavanaugh hearings, we now see what counts as independent thinking on the GOP side. Unlike the Kavanaugh stunt show we know more about how Susan Collins tends in terms of GOP discipline. The safest bet for those 2020 vulnerable GOP senators is to appeal
The Louisville Courier-Journal is reporting that the FBI is asking questions about former Governor Matt Bevin’s pardons. For those not familiar with loser Matt Bevin, he issued a whole lot of pardons as he left office, and at least one of those pardons looks and
On Thursday, Old-Age Mutant Cringey Turtle Mitch McConnell took to the Senate floor to whine about Democrats’ supposed deep dive into partisanship: “Let's be clear: the House's vote yesterday was not some neutral judgment. … It was the predetermined end of a partisan crusade,” McConnell mewled.

The unhingery continues, which for some could be more proof of unfitness. Apparently GOP House members are reduced to insulting the Speaker’s choppers. GOP Rep. Mike Johnson appeared on CNN Sunday, where he was immediately asked about President Donald Trump’s tweet claiming Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s
