Next time you hear RW Israelis & “pro-Israel” types justify their Trump love affair by claiming he has Israel’s back but Obama & HRC “betrayed” Israel, call bs on them with this.
(article here: wsj.com/articles/iran-…)

And you might also ask such folks why the US should not fund erstwhile allies in Syria & instead fund military buildup on US southern border to defend against a bogeyman.
P.S. What’s scary is mindset whereby all sins by one’s “side” are excusable bc motives are deemed per se pure whereas other side’s motives are per se hostile
Only way a) Helsinki can be ignored by patriotic Americans; b) US allowing Iranian ctrl of Syria can be ignored by Israel

Actually he *only* tells the truth when a normal person would lie.

Like when he told O’Reilly we’re killers too

Or when he gave sensitive Israeli intelligence to the Russians

Or when he told Lester Holt why he fired Comey

Or...

It’s the flipside of telling obvious lies—
It destabilizes the norm of truth-telling from the opposite angle. Obvious lies invite the listener to listen for the deeper truth that’s being hinted at (see ); apparently self-defeating truths invite the listener to rethink those apparent defeats.
Either way, the importance of what is actually said is degraded.

A lot of engagement w this reax to nyti.ms/2G7GakS?smid=n… but few takers. Here’s another shot, formulated as an hypothesis, building to a Q for @AdamMGrant & other soc scientists:

Hyp: A male UG bursting into tears in a male prof’s office about grades is an extremely rare event
Why is it rare?
* Strong norms against crying in professional settings in general
* Bursting into tears is esp rare display of emotion in our society, a loss of control generally considered OK only during major personal ruptures
* Norms ag crying are esp strong for young men
* Such norms are (I think?) esp strong in presence of other men
* Any culturally competent member of US society would know that crying over an A minus is an occasion for ridicule rather than sympathy
* The tears were apparently not crocodile tears (perhaps meant to change grade)

Yikes, this is as bad as any piece of Israeli "hasbara" (propaganda):
"To be sure, a lot of Palestinians thought that in a single democratic state, many Jewish Israelis would voluntarily leave, like the French settlers in Algeria did when that country gained its independence..."
An honest assessment would acknowledge at least two obvious facts:

a. At least *some* Palestinians who would have been intent on driving Jews into the sea if they didn't leave on their own;
b. The conquerors would have had a hard time restraining such ppl, esp in wartime.
P.S. @JYuter: Another for your "to be sure" collection...

#Trump said his Russian business efforts, including during the campaign were "Very legal" and "VERY COOL."

HAHAHAH....yep, I sure do agree with that. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, most of the media have no clue, though some of them do, b/c some have reported the truth.
Well, sommanab*tch! The link I saved from one of the media outlets that knew ...now seems to be gone. Of course I couldn't archive it because it was WaPo. They wouldn't let me archive it.
Well, here's another one, by Buzzfeed, no less. They KNEW that Trump worked WITH the FBI, yet they participated in the conspiracy against him to frame him as the guilty one.

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

1.
#ReleaseTheMemo #ObamaGate #FISAGate

I think I figured out the remaining key questions I had. #Treason by the #Cabal was obvious. I have laid it out earlier in this thread: threadreaderapp.com/thread/9460448…

...but knowing something = proving something
...especially when dealing with
2. ...#Corruption and #Treason on both sides of the aisle
+
#LSM #LyingSycophantMedia that will actively hide #Truth and invent/support #FakeNews, such as #RussiaCollusionLie
+
#CognitiveDissonance & #Tribalism that affect ability of "other side" to accept uncomfortable #TRUTH
3. So #POTUS needed to generate bullet-proof evidence of involvement by #DOJ/#FBI in the #Treason of the #Cabal/#DeepState...in part b/c they themselves could block/prevent the #TRUTH
...and in part b/c they had tried to destroy much of the evidence.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
