1. Trump is blatantly scamming seniors on Facebook.

It appears to be a violation of Facebook advertising guidelines and clearly demonstrates that Trump has little respect for his own supporters

Let's review

popular.info/p/trump-launch…
2. Trump launched a Facebook ad yesterday that highlights his promise to close the border "next week" unless Mexico stops all illegal immigration.

The problem: it quotes Trump FROM TWO WEEKS AGO

He's fundraising off a promise he's already broken

popular.info/p/trump-launch…
3. Since making the threat to close the border Trump has said publicly that it is not something he will even consider for AN ENTIRE YEAR

Meanwhile, he's micro-targeting seniors saying it might happen next week

THIS IS A SCAM

4. Facebook is central to Trump's reelection strategy. Trump's Facebook guy is now his campaign manager. We didn't get to see the 2016 ads. Now we do.

It only matters, however, if people pay attention

1. I don't think politics should be the driving factor but most opposition to impeachment is based on the assumption that impeaching Trump would be bad politics.

But no one ever actually makes a detailed argument. It's just asserted.

Let's dive into it.

popular.info/p/muellers-sla…
2. The anti-impeachment argument, as I understand it, is that:

- Trump and Fox News will use impeachment to motivate the Republican base

- Impeachment is pointless because Senate Republicans will never convict

popular.info/p/muellers-sla…
3. But Trump and the GOP have made it very clear they are going to use the Mueller report to motivate their base anyway. That's why Trump tweets about it every day and why Barr and Senate Republicans are "investigating" the origins of the Mueller probe

The pricing scheme for @DollarCars exploits families. I paid MORE to rent a kids booster seat for three days than the ACTUAL COST OF RENTING A CAR.

Worse, I booked through @Orbitz and this charge wasn’t disclosed until I arrived at my destination, even though I reserved one
This didn’t create any hardship for me but a lot of families on tighter budgets are being manipulated. They want to keep their kids safe and will obviously pay whatever cost to do so.
.@DollarCars slogan is “We never forget whose dollar it is” lol

1. Mueller was actually pretty clear with what he thinks about Trump and obstruction but had to dance on the head of a pin to respect certain conventions.

I don’t have to so I’ll just state it plainly: Mueller thinks Trump is guilty of obstruction of justice
2. Mueller says that it’s not fair for him to say Trump is guilty of obstruction because of the DOJ policy against indicting a sitting president. So if Mueller said it there is not process for Trump to defend himself (i.e. a trial)
3. But Mueller says that if he believed Trump had NOT committed obstruction he would say. And Mueller is NOT saying that.

So as a matter of grammar & logic it’s clear Mueller thinks Trump is guilty of obstruction.

He just doesn’t think it’s appropriate for him to say explicitly

Y'day Trump tried to squirm out of his kiss-up to Kim by saying media misinterpreted him about Otto Warmbier. Today he uses misinterpretation again to claim "Russia-if-you're-listening" was a joke. This weaponization of ambiguity is key to #Trump's #propaganda #language. @ddale8
@ddale8 Reupping my old piece on some features of Trump's propaganda language, including strategic use of ambiguity ("misinterpreted"). It's disarming b/c he does it so brazenly. His "authenticity" is shamelessness in vernacular. Neither this nor Russia is a joke. euromaidanpress.com/2016/10/27/989…
Days after Wikileaks’ dump, Trump was impressed & wanted more. Listen to his breathy “everything” immediately before the ask—not a joke—to Russia: “how little respect…that they would hack a major party & get everything. It would be interesting to see…RUSSIA IF YOU’RE LISTENING”

So - what's this #DeleteFacebook thing, and what exactly is @CamAnalytica and Trump's data/leadership going to be in trouble for?

Let's dive in, and find out.

Trump hired Cambridge officially in 2016, but the whistleblower is hinting they were testing Trump slogans in 2014, destroying this narrative.

 @CamAnalytica had the facebook info of 500 million users.

And Russia also had the hacked US voter rolls in their possession, if you recall...

Forget money laundering for a moment, we're now talking "Data Laundering" - first broken by @patribotics

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
