Max Boot spent the last 20 years as a Republican cheerleading for every war, while making sure only others - but never himself - fought in those wars. He now does exactly the same thing, but as a Democrat. Max goes to whatever party is most receptive to his warmongering:
In his WashPost op-ed claiming that the GOP and "the left" (Sanders & Warren) are insufficiently militaristic & devoted to empire, Supreme Warmonger @MaxBoot points to an example of someone whose views he likes: Hillary foreign policy adviser Jake Sullivan washingtonpost.com/opinions/2018/…
This (re)union between the most bloodthirsty neocons & establishment Dems couldn't be more blatant if they put it in neon lights. Sullivan is one of the Dems who worked with Bill Kristol & ex-CIA officials to create a new joint hawkish foreign policy group theintercept.com/2017/07/17/wit…

NBC and MSNBC Blamed Russia for Using “Sophisticated Microwaves” to Cause “Brain Injuries” in U.S. “Diplomats” in Cuba. The Culprits Were Likely Crickets. theintercept.com/2019/01/07/nbc…
NBC and MSNBC repeatedly put @KenDilanianNBC all over the air to do what he does - mindlessly repeat what @CIA tells him to say - to state that Russia attacked US diplomats in Cuba with microwaves. The likely culprit was this pretty Caribbean male cricket theintercept.com/2019/01/07/nbc…
It's important to note these new scientific findings, as well as the prior statements from numerous neurological experts, don't dispositively prove that NBC story was false. They just raise very serious doubts. It's *possible* these alarming things happened in the Cuba incident:

Yes, the US press is so brave & free - when it comes to foreign leaders. Remember when, after 9/11, all TV networks obeyed the government's orders not to broadcast video of Osama bin Laden explaining the attack on the ground he'd included coded messages to activate sleeper cells?
US media obeyed the government's orders to impose a blackout on Al Qaeda explaining their motives for the 9/11 attack (US violence & interference in the Muslim world), which is what let @DavidFrum & friends create the bullshit "they-hate-us-for-our-freedom" fairy tales.
Then there was that time in 2004 when NYT discovered Bush/Cheney was *illegally* eavesdropping on Americans, but sat on the story upon the orders of the WH, only to publish it *after* Bush's win because Jim Risen was going to break the story in his book theintercept.com/2018/01/03/my-…

Now that Warren emphatically supported Trump's decision to withdraw troops from Syria & Afghanistan - ignoring @Maddow's desperate bait to bash Trump & instead condemned Endless War - the silence on these issues of Sanders (&, to a lesser extent, @AOC) becomes harder to maintain:
I emailed Sanders' office on Dec 26 to ask his view on Syria troop withdraw - was told they were discussing it but he didn't yet have a position. As I said, people are entitled to time to address complex matters, but these debates are central & ongoing silence is hard to justify.
To be clear, the quote I got when I emailed Sanders' office on Dec 26 about Syria troop withdrawal was this: "We’ve been discussing but he hasn’t made a statement yet." They're now suggesting this doesn't mean he has no position, just that he hasn't publicly expressed one yet.

Here we go. After over a month of Senate chamber disruptions that culiminated in their rolling out multiple fake accusations that Kavanaugh was a sexual predator, the Left is BACK TO LECTURING *US* ABOUT BEING CIVIL ON OUR POLITICAL DISCOURSE while they talk about stalking us.
"Don't you DARE spike that Kavnaugh football while we make our plans to find out where you live, what restaurants you go to, where your kids go to school, wherer you work so we can come after you, you hear me?

DON'T YOU SPIKE THAT -!!!"

Me, right now:
FUCK YOU.

Summary:

Obama had pen and a phone and abused the administrative rule-making process because Congress ceded a large part of the legislative process over time to the Executive, because Leviathan.

Trump uses a pen and a phone to undo.

Guess what happens when Dems retake the WH.
Core problem in that? We want the trains to run on time. Teaparty claimed to care about an originalist stance on separation of powers, but the minute they went for Trump, it was pure transactional power politics henceforth. So now doing exactly the same thing Obama did is MAGA.
Rule by decree, or anti-decree, is the same thing. Go right ahead and nuance the difference, but there is no difference.

🛑BREAKING🛑

THREAD: Cambridge Analytica (CA) assigned dozens of non-US citizens to provide campaign strategy and messaging advice to ­#Republican candidates in 2014, even as an attorney *warned* CA that this was ILLEGAL‼️1/

washingtonpost.com/politics/forme…
This ILLEGAL effort to embed foreign workers was designed to present Cambridge Analytica, whose parent, SCL Group, was based in London, as “an American brand” to appeal to U.S. political clients.🙄 2/
U.S. election laws CLEARLY say that foreign nationals (w/o a green card) must not “directly or indirectly participate in the decision-making process” of a political campaign, although they can play lesser roles.🤨 3/

I think a mistake a lot of people are making is assuming that because their job is skilled labor, it won't be automated. This is a failure of imagination. A combination of AI and gradually lowered consumer expectations can replace almost any job
I didn't think they'd find a way to automate my current job. It's complex (despite what my customers think) and required a good deal of skill and training. But they did, or at least mostly did. I'll explain. A thread:
I work in a very specific type of customer service. My job requires me to use a minimum of 4 separate systems on a regular basis. There's negotiation involved and most interactions require a detailed analysis

(THREAD) THE “PEE-TAPE” EXISTS.

Here’s why we can be sure that it does.

(Whether anyone outside the Kremlin will ever see it is another question entirely.)
“One of the questions [Steve] Colbert asked his Russian handler, who was ex-KGB back when it was the KGB, was would a tape have been made? It is considered standard practice, he was informed…” tinyurl.com/yc4nyota
1/ To see that the Steele dossier’s narrative of Trump-Russia collusion is undoubtedly correct, all we have to do is understand what, on a close reading, memos #080 and #095 actually tell us. tinyurl.com/znm89bc
