Right...

We move from one outrage to the other, but don't actually define why the comment someone made at some point was worthy of the outrage.

The Mueller probe damaged the country. As did @HillaryClinton refusing to concede an election she clearly lost.
Is anyone seriously arguing a corrupt investigation predicated on a phony allegation the @POTUS is a Russian traitor was "GOOD" for the country?

Come on, folks. Get a grip.
Even if no one disagreed with the predicate of the Special Counsel investigation, it still isn't a good thing for the country that a POTUS was accused of being a Russian asset. That is a bad thing for the country.

Answer to that one is pretty simple.

A union man doesn't support the North American Free Trade Agreement
or Trans-Pacific Partnership. Joe Biden voted for NAFTA and was a strong advocate for TPP.
Btw, sounds like 4 people. Notice networks covering Joe Biden's speech haven't panned out to show you the 4 people in the crowd.
I've said for months now. What I am looking for in this nomination is whether Democrats will do what Republicans did in 2016, which is declare their independence from the Party Establishment and Corporate Media.

Republicans didn't let them pick their nominee.

Will Democrats?

If you really want to make a statement @Jack, you'd allow Alex Jones back on @Twitter. There were more harmful and verifiably false stories published by @CNN over the last 2.5 years than InfoWars.

As we tweet, Jim @Acosta is pushing a fake story about Charlottesville.
Let's be honest, @Jack, which is worse...

Alex Jones' very brief float re: Sandy Hook, or...

> 24 months of constant fake news re: the Russia hoax, accusing a duly-elected POTUS of being a traitor?

I think if we're being honest with ourselves, it's not even close.
Just pointing out Corporate Big Media have pushed horrible lies that have cost people lives, and destabilized countries. The Iraq War. The Russia hoax. Constantly inciting a race war and balkanization, and on and on and on. Alex Jones has not done the damage they have done.

Fake news, Jim. You are spreading fake news. The dangerous kind, too. Is that supposed to make you a friend of the American people? You are pushing lies that make them hate and want to kill each other.
It’s a pretty simple concept and certainly a fair one to introduce.

If your job is to spread lies intended to cause people to hate and/or kill each other, then are you a friend or an enemy to them?
Perhaps there is something in the middle, somewhere between friend and enemy, which would be more appropriate. But it certainly isn’t the behavior of a friend.

THREAD: THE ULTIMATE GASLIGHT

The #Mueller saga is the ultimate gaslighting of the American people.

WE SAW Trump ask Russia to hack Clinton's emails. They did.

WE SAW him repeatedly bow down to Putin.

WE SAW him obstruct justice and boast about it to Russian operatives...
THREAD: THE ULTIMATE GASLIGHT

WE SAW how many clandestine meetings and contacts were uncovered between Trump's campaign and the Russians.

WE SAW the GOP do nothing about Russia's cyberattack on our elections.

And yet, big media says he's "exonerated" and savoring "victory"...
THREAD: THE ULTIMATE GASLIGHT

For two years, I warned that the #Mueller probe was having the effect of obscuring abuses of power occurring in plain sight, and that waiting for some massive bombshell was dangerous when impeachable transgressions were happening almost daily.

I'M TIRED OF THE #MUELLER PROBE

Tired of the fact that it has focused everyone on some hyped-up future event while Trump and his GOP cronies have already gutted our Constitution.

Tired of the media pretending we don't already have ample evidence of collusion and obstruction.
I'M TIRED OF THE #MUELLER PROBE

Tired of how it has created unrealistic hopes that Trump will be taken down.

Tired of how it provides cover for House Dems not to use the power the people gave them.

Tired of how it has lulled Dem leaders and given the GOP time to stack SCOTUS.
I'M TIRED OF THE #MUELLER PROBE

Tired of seeing people like Rudy Giuliani spin and lie and spin and lie.

Tired of the breathless scoops that fade in a day and only serve to normalize Trump.

And yet, I respect #Mueller and how disciplined and methodical he has been.

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

Trump: “There was no talking to Russia. There was no phone calls. I didn’t make phone calls to Russia. I didn’t receive phone calls. I didn’t have meetings. I didn’t have texts. Anything. I have nothing to do with Russia.” #mueller tinyurl.com/yahwud9s
2/ It’s very telling that this is the way Trump thinks collusion has to work to be collusion. But no one in his or her right mind has ever supposed that the collusion would be that ham-fisted. #mueller
3/ It’s not as though Mueller is trying to find an email that says: “I hereby commit myself to lifting sanctions if and when elected, if you, Vladimir Putin, agree to help my campaign by hacking and disseminating Hillary’s emails.” --(signed) Donald J. Trump.
