"Is it racist to vote for Trump in 2020?" is GOP propaganda framing to reprise rage about "deplorables." A better question keeps the focus on Trump's racism, not voters': Example: "Can a president who promotes racism lead a multiracial country?" @jaketapper @BetoORourke @CNNSotu
@jaketapper @BetoORourke @CNNSotu Dear Media: Don't use questions framed by Republicans as your "tough questions" to Dems. The questions themselves are often loaded w/ GOP propaganda. Journalists should know by now how this works & end the practice. It's not tough, even-handed or informative to promote propaganda
@jaketapper @BetoORourke @CNNSotu GOP propaganda also slipped into Jake's intro about Trump winning in 2016. Republicans gaslight his increasingly dangerous racism by claiming "voters knew him and voted for him anyway." That's false. Not only was he elected in the fog of info war. Few knew then what we see now.

🔥@FrankFigliuzzi1: Don’t be surprised if FBI counter-intelligence div is looking at that (Deripaska) aluminum factory deal in Kentucky. Why does McConnell for years just not want to hear the truth abt Russia? It just begs the Q: Is there a flow of money? Is there a compromise??
@FrankFigliuzzi1 @NicolleDWallace 🤯It's nuts that US lifted #sanctions for close Putin ally #Deripaska—who Manafort briefed during #Russia's attack! That #McConnell stopped a bipartisan effort to reverse it, then got a Russian alum plant in #Kentucky smells of corruption if not compromise.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-a…
@FrankFigliuzzi1 @NicolleDWallace 🤯Not only did McConnell push to lift sanctions for Putin's pal #Deripaska. But Mitch's Kentucky taxpayers must give the Russian oligarch's Rusal $15,000,000 to help Russia get a foothold in US economy! Of course, #MoscowMitch denies knowing about any "Russian investor."🤔#maddow

Wow Putin is scared. #Russia TV did one of their propaganda “exposes” to discredit @CNN reporter @clarissaward as a spy b/c she’s investigating Kremlin secret Wagner army. She even interviewed a mercenary. Recall 3 well-known Russian journalists were killed investigating Wagner.
.@CNN reporter interviewed a Wagner mercenary—#Russia’s secret private army he says "does anything Putin says" to boost Russian influence & suppress American. Same group that seized #Crimea, operates in #Ukraine, #Syria, #Africa. Kept secret to give Kremlin plausible deniability.
.@CNN reporter found out first hand about KGB #Putin’s #Russia. Doing a story on Kremlin-tied Wagner mercenary private army, @clarissaward was followed, filmed, had a guy go thru her hotel room, and became the subject of a Russian #disinformation attack video calling her a “spy.”

Why this story isn't getting more press coverage is baffling: #Russia just buried 5 nuclear scientists killed in a nuclear blast in the Arctic. There is of course a radiation cloud. - BBC News bbc.com/news/world-eur…
#Russia explosion: Village on-again off-again evacuation cancelled after suspected nuclear missile accident in the Arctic - CNN cnn.com/2019/08/13/eur…
#Russia's got a pretty astounding record of irresponsible dishonesty when it comes to catastrophic events that impact people lives. Everyone's heard of #Chernobyl. Few know about #Chelyabinsk—the most polluted place on the planet. I wrote about it in 2016. eastwestblog.net/2016/04/26/ukr…

1/ #Racism- and #Sexism-by-Proxy … a thread:

A while back, my usually-progressive son said it was wrong to give children 'black' names like LaShawn or LaTonya.

"There's so much racism," he said. "Their resumes and other applications will be rejected because of their names."
2/ I said this was a classic example of racism-by-proxy: "I'M not racist, but OTHER PEOPLE are … and we should all cater to them."

"But I'm just being realistic!" he countered. "Racists won't change, so black parents should give their kids race-neutral names."
3/ I said racists won't change if we never challenge their racism.

"If we accept racism as an immutable fact and act as if we must all adapt our lives to fit their biases," I said, "we help perpetuate racism. We practice racism-by-proxy."

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

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).

#Trump was not elected president because he did not win the electoral vote via @RealTimBlack #TimBlackShow #Resist
#Trump used the same trick as George W did in Florida. By removing voters of color in 28 states, Trump supposedly won the electoral college.
#Trump is not our legitimate president, rather he's the Commander-in-Thief! via @RealTimBlack #TimBlackShow #Resist
