1) The real issue around #stupidgate is that Corbyn is always the story (in a bad way), he deals with these things badly & there is a cult of "protect the leader" which is unhealthy in Labour

Corbyn is seen to be irritable & grumpy, so many will believe he said "woman"
2) The politically astute thing to do would have been to say "I apologise, I was irritated by the Tory front benches treating this crisis as a pantomime joke. I care deeply for this country and was angry at the flippancy. But I apologise"

But Corbyn can't carry that off
3) Corbyn isn't so much a leader as an fragile but expensive antique, his fans love to look at him but he must be protected at all costs, brought out rarely & under safe conditions

It's like having the Mona Lisa as party leader.

Drop him, he adds little value & is a distraction

Incoming transmission: #StupidGate thread...mostly looking at Manafort and Gates, their legal troubles, the Mueller investigation, and their Russia/Ukraine dealings.

(Original research done by reddit user PoppinKREAM, commentary and organization are mine).

Manafort first started working for Putin via Russian Oligarch Oleg Deripaska back in 2006.

This was halfway through Putin's first term. And US/Russia relations were...strained.

Also in 2006, it is TOTALLY NOT SUSPICIOUS that Manafort bought a ton of real estate in New York in cash.

The FCC, under the direction of @AjitPaiFCC, are undoing regulations to allow a pro-Trump news organization to buy out local news stations across the country.

There are, rather, were laws in place to prevent this from happening.

In addition to being the destroyer of the free internet (TM), @AjitPaiFCC also met with Sinclair Broadcasting right after the inauguration and started removing restrictions that Sinclair wanted removed.

Just wanting to lay out a timeline of some of the skullduggery the @GOP (specifically @SpeakerRyan, @SenateMajLdr, and @DevinNunes) have been up to in a timelined tweet.

#TheResistance
09/30/16 GOP ignores warnings from the Intel community that Russians are hacking the election, instead choosing to focus on the HRC email "scandal."

12/11/16 McConnell blocked Obama from going public with the Intel Communities' assessment the Russians hacked the election, even after the Gang of 12 were briefed on the matter.
