Remember Gary Hart?
D candidate for president in 1988. Allegations of an affair derailed his campaign.

No National Enquirer required but clearly questionable character.

Remember John Edwards?
D candidate for president in 2008. Allegations of an affair, illegitimate child and hush money derailed his campaign.

National Enquirer led this one. More questionable character.

And now we have Trump and Cohen, multiple extramarital affairs, and no National Enquirer thanks to AMI (the publisher) chairman David Pecker (I’m exercising a lot of self-restraint here).

And even more questionable character.

Excellent analysis of "FACT" and Whittaker from #TPM

Whitaker's op-ed was "highly critical of a candidate, and he ought not to be doing that, because it’s a political partisan comment."

Whittaker founded his Section 501c3 NFP in 2015.
talkingpointsmemo.com/news/whitaker-…
Section 501c3 tax code prohibits non-profits "from supporting or opposing political candidates during a campaign." But "FACT" under Whittaker did that more than once.
"in 2016 [Whitaker] earned more than twice what leaders of similar groups were paid on average that year"
Charity Navigator is our friend, not his.
His THREE-person board of directors that included just one unsalaried member.

Georgia's Republican Secretary of State/Gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp has a three-year history of ignoring elections security, which makes his Sunday accusation about the state Democratic Party even more suspect.
themoderatevoice.com/brian-kemps-ha…
"Brian Kemp is both overseeing the governor’s election, as a secretary of state, and running in that election, as the Republican nominee. And he’s behaving shamefully."

Deconstructing Trump on Lee and Grant (image) - comments made at Ohio political rally
cnn.com/politics/live-…
FACT: Robert E. Lee was a slave owner who chose to lead a traitorous rebellion. He supported a war designed to keep humans enslaved via an economic and social system of white supremacy.
Trump’s Lost Cause frame on Robert E. Lee was not scripted, so this appears to be what Trump believes (or at least holds in his head)

I have seen many comments from those who applaud the removal of #silentsam, but oppose the means by which it was removed. So here is a non-comprehensive list of efforts #silencesam activists have taken historically & today. All met w silence or hostility by #unc administration
1/ First some history--from what we know direct action against #silentsam began in 1968 in response to MLK's assassination (pic courtesy of @uncarchives), although calls for its removal came earlier (for ex, @dailytarheel published an op ed in March 1965, exhibits.lib.unc.edu/exhibits/show/…)
2/ Since 1968, protests around the statue ebbed and waned. However, in the recent past (at least since 2014) neo-confederates/white supremacists have used #silentsam as a rallying point. So, some of the 1st actions by contemporary #silencesam activists have been counter-protests

Blumenthal: “Secretary Pompeo (Sunflower)is flippant, even belligerent, in evading & interrupting my colleagues’ questions. It has been 9 days since the Helsinki Summit & still no answers.”

Did Trump propose paying ‘cash’ for Karen McDougal’s story?

Emoluments lawsuit against Trump includes profits from private trans, even those involving services given or traded at fair market value.

2/"We've known for a while Michael Cohen taped some of his conversations and investigators had those tapes. What we did not know was whether a tape of President Trump was included or whether the two discussed legally problematic things. We now know the answers to those questions:
