Dan Bongino's absurd comment came during a Fox & Friends interview around 630 am that was reaired at the tops of the 7 and 8 am hours. Also, Trump added the word "illegal" to the quote.

Right, Trump, 8:29 am
Apparently the national emergency is not keeping the president from having ample time to watch his shows.
Because the Bongino quote was aired three times before the tweet, I’d need him to tweet something else identifiable in order to figure out what the “great analysis” was about.

Former CBS News correspondent Lara Logan will apparently be on Hannity tonight. Conservative press liked her describing the media as "mostly liberal" during a recent interview. She also used that appearance to rewrite her Benghazi trainwreck. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/02/1…
Seems like she's going full Attkisson.
A reminder: This is what Logan said in 2013 in apologizing for the retracted report that @mmfa had criticized. Now she says we smeared her, and that "nothing that was said about me in the wake of that was true."

Hiring a political operative with no journalism experience as a commentator, as a host, as a reporter, and as an editor overseeing reporters are all different things that generally lead to different responses.
The first three are at least somewhat common. The last, as far as I know, is not. If it is as well, people should provide examples of it, rather than examples of the first three.
The boring take is the accurate one: Particular people will criticize particular hires to particular positions based on particular circumstances.

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.

Trump begins @foxandfriends interview by saying he chose to do it today because it's Melania's birthday, but can't say what he got her for a present ("maybe not so much")
Trump pivots from talking about Melania to threatening Iran
Asked about Ronny Jackson, Trump doesn't address allegations against him, but characterizes fact that cabinet appointees are vetted by the Senate as "a disgrace."

"The Democrats are obstructionists. It is horrible what they're doing."

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

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
