If we found out a leading Republican presidential candidate had sought out the support of the worst segregationists to stop busing in the 1970s, what would coverage look like today?

cnn.com/2019/04/11/pol…
Of course, it's funny how not a single reporter had ever run across these letters until now. The guy was vice president for eight years. And now that he's fallen into disfavor among progressives, he has to pay for his sins.
The other interesting aspect about the busing debate, is that today it's the Democrats, typically against school choice. whose policies favor the racial segregation of schools.

A number of people have compared the coverage of the Trump collusion probe to the Hillary email probe. What's the difference?
There’s a glaring difference between these incidents. The FBI investigation into Clinton, prompted by tangible evidence provided by Congress, uncovered all kinds of real-life illegality.
Comey only let Hillary slide because he alleged, although it wasn’t his charge, that prosecutors wouldn’t be able to prove intent.

@AOC claims that at the Green New Deal FAQ was “an early draft” accidentally posted. Someone sent me the information from the PDF: It was created by AOC’s Chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti at 10:09.
@AOC Did Chakrabarti accidentally create a PDF of a draft and then accidentally post it? Did AOC accidentally keep up the FAQ for hours and hours while critics were dissecting it and forget to mention it was a draft?
Some people have emailed to accuse me of using a doctored and fake FAQ in my piece. It was not. All the quotes are in there. thefederalist.com/2019/02/07/ten…

Reminder that @BernieSanders, who might well win the Dem nomination, once said these words in this order: "the American dream is more apt to be realized in Venezuela" than the United States. (h/t @ReaganBattalion). He was not alone.
@BernieSanders @ReaganBattalion I'm not even talking about Sean Penn, Michael Moore or Oliver Stone. Here's the aspiring leader of Great Britain, @jeremycorbyn:
@BernieSanders @ReaganBattalion @jeremycorbyn Progressive hero Naomi Klein praised Hugo Chavez's "21st Century Socialism" as "a zone of relative economic calm and predictability."

1) Q has told us to dig and after @40_head compiled the Panama canal thread that @AmericanIII and I were asked to be apart of we found more and its damning. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1109391… Q has said that sometimes things have more than one meaing with the Alice in Wonderland comment
2) everyone assumed that S.A only stood for Saudi Aradia but does it? Could it stand for South America as well the thread by @40_head certainly raises questions. Here is the link to that thread if you have not read it please do so before proceeding. @StormIsUponUs @prayingmedic
3) We started to look for a connection between Gustavo Cisneros who is a billionaire mogul originally from Venezuela with strong ties to then leader Hugo Chavez. Cisneros was a huge donor to Chavez’s campaign and they were friends but that relationship changed.

There are thousands of Bruce Wilsons

In the early 1970s, a new idea began to spread like wildfire through the US Protestant evangelical right - that the social and political upheavals which beset America during the 1960s had been caused by a literal geographic invasion of demons. amazon.com/Invasion-Demon…
I own this book. In it John Hagee - whose political endorsement was heavily courted by John McCain in the 2008 presidential election primaries - describes personally casting out demons, in the style of the movie "The Exorcist".
Hagee has fallen under the influence of the 1948 Latter Rain revival which proposed the Gnostic paradigm that when Adam & Eve had been cast out of the Garden, God also withdrew his protective force field from the Earth and that allowed a literal invasion of demons which...

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.
This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/
A few example of flat earth videos that were promoted by YouTube #today:

This entire story deserves to be threaded & tagged. In posting, my focus is not to dwell on the past but look at #Today with critical #EyesOpen. It’s a reminder to #Vote and act for the #betterfuture of our country.

Here it is:

1/ Former Republican @MaxBoot spent eight years trying to stop Obama as an aide to both @SenJohnMcCain McCain and @MittRomney and as a longtime conservative columnist.

Boot, who is now a columnist for the @washingtonpost was never a Trump fan
2/ but he did write a column the day after the election in which he argued that a @realDonaldTrump presidency “might not be so bad” and encouraged optimism.

Now, in a new piece for the Post, Boot is prepared to say that, actually, it is that bad.

#ConCon 101
The concept of a Constitutional Convention is foreign to many people. Understandable, since we've only had one in the entire history of the United States and it produced The Constitution. So I thought I'd write this thread to try make it understandable to everyone.
For anyone who doesn't want to or doesn't have the time to read this whole thread, I am also posting ConCon 101 EZ and ConCon 101 EZ+ which are much quicker. The purpose of this thread? #NoConCon
To convince you how vital it is for our country's future to oppose ANY state resolutions for ANY type of #ConCon. They are all dangerous for Democrats. #NoConCon
