I am off today hanging out with the baby and grandparents, but I trust you can all figure out what's going on here without my help.
Trump is misquoting Stuart Varney's prediction that this morning's jobs report would show that "America has the strongest economy of all the industrial democracies" while the Euro/Japan economies are slowing. Didn't age well!

Left, Fox & Friends, 6:18 am
Right, Trump, 8:43 am
Video here. Fox & Friends reaired Varney's prediction at the top of the 7 am and 8 am hours.
When the jobs report data was released (about 15 mins before Trump's tweet), Kilmeade responded "this is terrible," Doocy tried to play it down with the "bit of good news" that unemployment rate dropped, then they cut to Pete Hegseth in a VT diner talking to patrons about Bernie.
It's naptime folks, I am not a monster.

Last night's Special Report served up a case study in what the Fox "news side" actually does: Incremental, deceptive stories pushing right-wing narratives that provide grist for the primetime talkers: mediamatters.org/blog/2019/03/1…
Trump loved it.
Basically the network pushed along a GOP congressman’s nonsense effort to create a new scandal about the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

Trump keeps Fox's verb and stat, but changes "inmates" to "stone cold killers."

Left, Fox & Friends, 6:38 am

"The order will halt all executions for the state's 737 inmates currently on death row."

Right, Trump, 7:39 am

1. Fox News is suffering the week from hell at the worst possible time. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/03/1…
2. It's a crucial week for the network, which is using an unprecedented event at their studio tomorrow to pitch the ad industry on why its a good time to advertise on the network, particularly on Fox's "news" programs.
3. Fox needs to do this because leading advertisers have largely abandoned the network's top shows because the hosts keep saying bigoted things.

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

#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.

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

Here's the skinny: #Trump lost not just the popular vote, but also the vote in key swing states — that is, if you counted all the ballots cast and allowed the blocked and purged voters to vote. truth-out.org/opinion/item/4… #Resist #VoterSuppression via @truthout
Take Michigan. Trump officially won the state by 10,700 votes. But 75,355 ballots were never counted. Michiganders vote on these ridiculous paper ballots that old machines have a hard time reading. And critically, 87 machines simply broke down and didn't count the votes at all.
And where were these uncounted ballots and broken machines? I found them in #Detroit and #Flint, #Michigan — two majority-Black cities. Do you think those 75,355 ballots in Detroit and Flint were Trump ballots? gregpalast.com/palast-report-…

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
