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 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
The dog wagged once. Did the WH dodge a ballistic missile since apparently there were no casualties in the several Iranian missile strikes in Iraq. Message sent, but will Trump’s apparent lack of policy and strategy actually move Iran closer and quicker to nuclear weapons.
More reports of Trump’s continuing barrage of disinformation and outright lies to bring in the New Year. So it appears that @SpeakerPelosi is throwing a New Year’s Eve party inside @realDonaldTrump’s head. #IMPOTUS https://t.co/SlGNCSOqYY — George Conway (@gtconway3d) January 1, 2020 Trump is at his
Thankfully it’s still early, but we can see a number of strategies with complicated agendas prior to the primaries for Tom Steyer and Mike Bloomberg. What will their stakes look like at the convention or if neither wins the nomination. Can the nomination be bought?
538 declared Biden the winner of the last debate, and Morning Consult’s poll of 5000 shows Biden ahead. x Biden received the highest marks from the debate, but his high pre-debate favorability rating means we expected a lot of voters to be predisposed to viewing
At 1032 pm, Dear Leader tweeted another pathetic taunt in order to divert attention from the impeachment. This is Trump’s most-repeated lie of the Ukraine scandal, according to @ddale8. The whistleblower complaint was highly credible, and many of the key allegations have been confirmed by
It’s a sad day for Kamala Harris and her supporters. I was an early Harris supporter, and up until her announcement today, she remained one of my top candidates. (Full disclosure: I’m now in Elizabeth Warren’s camp.) But whoever our nominee is, that person will
There have been some challenges for the Harris campaign, including some being framed by RW and MSM, with a recent staff shake-up. Some of us want the Harris campaign to overcome difficult internal strife in a fluid and historic year. Many excuses are being made as
Thanks to President Trump and his transparent and perverse desire to enrich his golfing buddies in the fossil fuel industry and to accelerate the climate crisis, the U.S. is the most notorious climate criminal in the world right now. But the Aussies are giving us
The flailing Trump presidency continues on its inept trajectory. Jared will be blamed when the wall is not built. President Trump has put his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, in charge of overseeing the construction of the border wall, The Washington Post reported Monday. Current and former administration officials told the
Wasting untold time and energy, New York Times newsroom leaders continue to struggle with the not-very-difficult question of whether they ought to refer to Donald Trump as a racist. More than four years after Trump entered our national political conversation by announcing his candidacy for president,
Congressional funds were deliberately held up for personal gain, as PABOTUS* shook down Ukraine. Everything else is disinformation, diversion and distraction, all in service of obstruction and corrupt intent. Virgil attempts to rob a bank, and he fails because the tellers have difficulty reading past
The good news for Joe Biden is that most of his supporters must not be paying attention to Biden’s malarkey about good Republicans. The bad news for the rest of us is that Biden really believes his own bullshit about Republicans experiencing an “epiphany” when Trump
It’s still not about the “Perfecto” conversation of 25 July 2019 which so far is only a memo and not a transcript. It was in reality a months-long conspiracy, threatened Ambassador Yovanovitch, and involved more than the “Three Amigos”. Tweet your praise of Don Trump, the
The problem for the now wavering GOP Senators, even if they agree that Arms for Dirt is a quid pro quo, it’s also unconstitutional because it was for Trump’s personal gain, clearly exhibiting corrupt intent. It’s an impeachable offense. A growing number of Senate Republicans
So Donald Trump — very loudly — proclaimed last night that next year’s G7 summit won’t be at his Doral resort after all, because the media and Democrats are so, so awful and simply don’t appreciate his largesse: …..its own 50 to 70 unit building.
As we wait for more whistle-blower news and an inevitable flurry of Trumpian disinformation and diversions, we need to review that Trump’s impeachable offense in Ukraine was also a move in a corruption history favoring Russia back through Manafort. Trump’s hold on Congressional aid to Ukraine
The count rose steadily since 5pm yesterday and here’s where support for the impeachment inquiry is at this moment. There are 235 Democrats in the House, and as of Tuesday night, 202 of them are backing the inquiry, including 22 members of the Judiciary Committee, The
The GOP should be careful about wishing for a quick up and down vote on impeachment. The Ukraine chapter is essentially part III of the Mueller report, leaving the GOP with a Pyrrhic victory if they “acquit” Trump in a Senate trial. The Democrats, by
