Donald Trump is giving Conrad Black a full pardon
Trump cites Black’s biographies of FDR and Richard Nixon in his statement. What he doesn’t mention is that Black also wrote a book and numerous op-eds lauding Trump over the last two years
On a side note, how many of you guessed you’d ever see Henry Kissinger, Elton John, Rush Limbaugh and Bill Buckley in the same sentence
Story: Trump pardons Conrad Black theglobeandmail.com/world/us-polit…
In the National Post, Black blames his conviction on "corporate governance charlatans," "grandstanding" judges, and his own "infirm" lawyers who apparently slept through the trial nationalpost.com/opinion/conrad…
Final take, from me and @Joe_Castaldo: Donald Trump pardons Conrad Black, a long-time friend and one-time business partner who wrote a laudatory book about him theglobeandmail.com/world/us-polit…
Because of all the "why did Elton John help Conrad get a pardon?" tweets: They've apparently been friends for years, Black was a guest at John's wedding and once had Hollinger donate to John's AIDS charity (h/t @nestruck) theglobeandmail.com/report-on-busi…

Mueller’s findings often read like a spy novel, so I wrote up the start-to-finish narrative of the Russian interference campaign and White House fallout like one theglobeandmail.com/world/us-polit…
In case that sounds daunting: I had about 4,000 words, so it’s more of a spy short story, if you’re looking to kill a half hour or so of your Sunday
Beyond Trump, what stands out in the Mueller report is how clearly he explains the workings of a state cyberwarfare campaign, and how relatively simple that campaign was

Earlier this month, I spent a day at a temporary free clinic in Appalachia trying to understand why the U.S. is the only wealthy country in the world without universal healthcare. Photos by @parkermb theglobeandmail.com/world/us-polit…
Nearly every patient I spoke with was in favour of universal healthcare, and most were well aware that all of the U.S.'s peer countries have some version of it. But only a handful actually vote for candidates that are trying to make it happen
Some were Trump supporters. Like this woman who supports Medicare-for-All but cares more about opposing abortion than voting for her economic self-interest

Robert Lighthizer, Trump's trade chief, tells Senate finance committee that the new NAFTA is "the best trade agreement we've ever negotiated" and he wants to get it to Congress for ratification "as soon as we can." Mid-April is the target date for the deal to be sent to Congress
No one will put a firm timeline on actual passage. But I'm told getting the new NAFTA through Congress before the August recess is overly ambitious. So it could be a while
Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican senator, says he's worried about "what I'm hearing from the Canadians and Mexicans on steel and aluminium" tariffs

Trump's been roasting Congress since 1993 lol
the first half hehe

Trump has been the same person ever since he's been in public eye, and yet, the American people still elected him...

When will the Democrats learn?
1999 - Roger Stone talked about the decision of Donald Trump to form a presidential exploratory committee. He focused on Trump’s membership in the Reform party, & Trump’s agenda for his campaign.

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

On three past occasions, presidents temporarily closed the southern border, something President Donald Trump threatened Monday to do permanently.

#CloseTheBorderNow
Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan both closed the border over drug-related issues that halted entry from Mexico into the United States.
President Lyndon B. Johnson, shortly after taking office amid crisis, closed the border after the assassination of his predecessor, JFK

Based on this nbc data you can still find lots of bot/troll accounts twitter missed.
how to:
Search hashtags ON a date.
Search for the actual tweets.
the accounts all "look" the same, low status counts, low follower counts, created at the same tnbcnews.com/tech/social-me…gbquNiCcd2
just using that and a tip from @z3dster gets me 6 accounts to look at.

@MarlonStepherd
@Mich_Heart_Rt
@DannyyyyPayton
@Joe_B_R
@worynynizuzy
@rogyvahumin

those are all troll factory/internet research agency accounts.
so pull the accounts that follow them.
you get all these shady looking accounts with the same stats.
drop the false positives, drop the duplicates. you get about 180 accounts worth looking at.
