I decided to check out Tovo Labs and Dialectica and I had varied and confusing results.
This is Dialectica. I searched for the word "the".

Of course there was. Let's have a read.
Dry Alabama was worked on by Matt Osborne. It was a progressive-run page dedicated to trying to bring back the Prohibition Era to Alabama while simultaneously pretending to support Roy Moore.

Democrats and the media now justifying calling the President a motherfucker when you're a Congressperson.

So why are we still getting people fired for old tweets again?
"What Trump said was bad!!!"

"Calling Trump a motherfucker as an elected representative is perfectly okay because they didn't stoop to Trump's level!!!"

Holy fuck, what level of insane delusion do you have to be on for that logic?
"YOU CAN'T CRITICISE GEORGE SOROS!! REEEE!!!"

"Fuck you, Trump, and we're impeaching you! Fuck the electoral college!"

OBAMA should be more mindful when accusing Trump about the press & leaks:

1. It is common knowledge among journalists that the #Obama administration has prosecuted more leakers under the 1917 Espionage Act than all former presidents combined. But few admit this truth.
2. The Committee to Protect Journalists released its first comprehensive report on US press freedom.

They discovered that the Obama administration’s policies have undermined the role of the press in three fundamental ways.
3. First, the government’s war on leaks has not only intimidated whistleblowers, it has ensnared journalists.

2/"WASHINGTON — In 2016, American intelligence agencies delivered urgent and explicit warnings about Russia’s intentions to try to tip the American presidential election — and a detailed assessment of the operation afterward — thanks in large part to informants close to President
3/"Vladimir V. Putin and in the Kremlin who provided crucial details. But two years later, the vital Kremlin informants have largely gone silent, leaving the C.I.A. and other spy agencies in the dark about precisely what Mr. Putin’s intentions are for November’s midterm elections

Today I talked about not jumping to conclusions and trying to stick to the facts. Now I stumble across this crap: bigleaguepolitics.com/fusion-gps-spy…
“The Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya who set up Don Trump Jr. for a meeting in Trump Tower as part of a Fusion GPS plot was operating out of the Washington offices of Cozen O’Connor, a law firm run by an anti-Trump former Obama administration official
whose super PAC donated to Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush in the 2016 presidential election.”

When @JZarif says, "#Iran never raced towards a bomb, nor will it race towards a bomb," rest assured it is the exact opposite.
We will realize how Tehran sought nuclear arms for decades. For a country sitting on an ocean of oil & gas, a "peaceful" nuclear program is meaningless.
A very telling cartoon about #NorthKorea & #Iran, as Pyongyang signals indications to set aside its nuclear weapons/ballistic missile program. This is leaving Tehran as now sole target of the international community's soon-to-come pressures.
For those who describe #Iran's FM @JZarif as a "moderate" or "reformist"

"We will exit the NPT. / We will launch advanced enrichment," he says in response to Trump's May 12th #IranDeal deadline.
