Judicial Watch head and Fox News regular Tom Fitton earlier this month: "Deep State aligned with Soros & uses State Dept to push its radical agenda." mediamatters.org/blog/2018/10/0…
Farrell's comments aren't an anomaly, they're part of a Judicial Watch campaign to "Expose George Soros" and his "schemes" and "devious activities." judicialwatch.org/blog/poll/expo…
Judicial Watch also got the ball rolling on the conspiracy theory that ISIS terrorists were traveling with the migrant caravan: mediamatters.org/blog/2018/10/2…

Fitton talked about that with Lou Dobbs last week. mediamatters.org/video/2018/10/…

When everyone is on board with the White House talking points.
Presidential adviser and Fox host Sean Hannity: "This is a national emergency, it's time to build the wall."
Presidential adviser and Fox host Lou Dobbs: "This president is leading the nation on a national emergency that only he can solve and has the political will. The American people, all they need is a strong leader. He's it."

1. Trump’s Fox cabinet returned from vacation yesterday and urged him to “stay strong” on the shutdown. mm4a.org/4Qt
2. For the first 10 days, Trump had to watch the B-team cover his shutdown. But now Hannity, Dobbs, and company are back, and they are continuing to egg him on.
3. Trump's Fox cabinet has been a problem for a while. But we are now moving toward a dynamic where they possess real veto power over government actions.

Alright. Time to identify all of the Trump-Fox livetweets that I missed while I was off for the holidays.
I've nailed down around 20 Trump tweets that appear to respond to Fox programming. There are certainly more, but there are a few factors making it more complicated -- lots of tweets about the wall and Syria and the economy that could be, but are not definitively, live-tweets.
I'll start with 12/21.

Left, Fox & Friends, 7:06 am

Doocy: Will McConnell use the nuclear option to get the wall?
Earhartdt: "So far the president has not tweeted about that."

Right, Trump, 8:02 am

mediamatters.org/blog/2018/12/0… I think this piece is right that conservatives traffic in liberal outrage — my book, Troll Nation, is all about this — but I think it’s wrong to assume this means that Coulter, Erickson, Lahren, Yiannopoulos etc. don’t mean the awful things they say.
I don’t think it’s preposterous to assume a number of right wing figures mean it when they say they’d like to see political opponents murdered. Pinochet wasn’t joking when he threw people from helicopters, and Erickson wasn’t joking when he fantasized about it.
There is no reason to think Americans are uniquely incapable of turning to the viciousness that other countries have endured at the hands of authoritarians who gain power. Indeed, we’ve already seen a journalist murdered, and Trump is actively trying to cover it up.

BREAKING: Judicial Watch today released 49 pages of new documents obtained from the State Department about U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) taxpayer funding of George Soros’s left-wing nonprofit organizations in Albania. (1/9)
jwatch.us/tdBgpy
The documents deal mainly with the activities of the top Soros operative in Albania – Andri Dobrushi – the director of Open Society Foundation-Albania who channeled funding to what Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban calls Soros’s “mercenary army.” (2/9)
jwatch.us/tdBgpy
The documents show that U.S. grant money flowed through non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that professed to promote “civil society” – while in fact those NGOs attacked traditional & pro-American groups, governments, and policies. (3/9)

There's a reason Trumpeters are so angry & hate-filled:
Some greedy clever & unscrupulous people have been training them to be that way for over 40 years. In the 1970s a guy named Limbaugh started bragging to powerful people, including political trickster Roger Stone,
1/
2/ yeah, the same Roger Stone who's in the news a lot again lately. Rush claimed he could get people to vote against their own best interests by appealing to their fears & prejudices using his show. He had a system down. The trick was to get them angry & foster hate & fear.
3/ He'd rant about made up threats like welfare queens riding around in cadillacs, radical hippie liberals, foreigners & feminazies, specifically programming them to hate because that's how they could be persuaded to keep voting for economic policies that are terrible for them.

Documents obtained by Judicial Watch from the U.S. Agency for International Development show that, under the Obama administration, the agency gave $9 million to the "Justice for All"campaign, which is overseen by left-wing billionaire George Soros' "East-West Mgmt Institute."

The money was used "to fund left-wing political activities in Albania, including working with the country's Socialist government to push for highly controversial judicial 'reform,'" said Judicial Watch in a statement.

Pretty sure if I worked for 6 months w/an alt account I could get Fox News consumers to believe the concept of ‘east’ is a liberal hoax.
Like, literally, the other three points of the compass are real but east isn’t.
Oh, you’ve traveled east? How interesting. Please provide proof. Just honestly curious.
