Friendly reminder that WaPo ran 16 smear pieces against Sanders in the span of 16 hours at the hottest point of the last presidential primary, and that any mention of WaPo's coverage of Sanders which fails to include this fact is journalistic malpractice.

P.S. WaPo is wholly owned by a CIA contractor, yet this conflict of interest is never disclosed when the outlet reports on the US intelligence community as called for by standard journalistic protocol. This too is journalistic malpractice.

The mass media's sputtering outrage at both the left and the right for criticizing their coverage is based on literally nothing but their own self-granted authority.
"You can't just say that!", they proclaim.
"Why not?" people ask.
"Because we're The News and we just said so!"
The government could never get away with acting like any skepticism about their motives is ridiculous and dangerous; checks and balances are built into government on the principle of distrust. The media have huge power, but have no such checks or balances.
The mass media demand public trust despite having violated that trust countless times, then claim that skepticism of their behavior is "dangerous" despite it being the only sane position based on facts in evidence. They have no legitimacy to do this.

So they've got known CIA asset @KenDilanianNBC running damage control on this news assuring everyone that it's probably still suicide and anyone questioning this is a psycho conspiracy theorist. Tasty.

This will get lost in the shuffle with the Epstein drama, but the Gravel 2020 campaign manager has been deliberately falsely spinning Gravel's dual endorsement of Gabbard and Sanders as a sole endorsement for Sanders. Read the thread.
Ocks is one of the "Gravel teens". The pinned tweet on the @MikeGravel is a sole endorsement of Sanders despite Gravel himself clearly and explicitly endorsing both Gabbard and Sanders. See:

#Sanders and #Biden have both been on #Medicare for well over a decade.
Didn't they every look at what it is?
Medicare has parts A, B. C and D.
Everyone has to buy a plan in addition to what the government provides.
So this is actually exactly #Medicare--for all....
Parts A, B, C and D. Parts A & B are known as Original Medicare. This is the most basic coverage you can get. Parts C & D are available through private health plans. They're both ways to enhance your health care coverage if you want more than what Original Medicare offers.
#M4A
Medicare has several parts. Part A covers your hospital care. Part B is for your medical care or doctor visits. Part C, which is an alternative to Parts A and B covers both your hospital care and doctor visits. Part D is a prescription drug plan. - aarp.org/health/medicar…

INFORMATION WARFARE: Conspiracy to Interfere.

A page by page read of the Mueller indictments detailing Russian military campaigns to deprive America of its first woman President.

Thread.

1/ IRA Indictment.

“We had a slight crisis here at work: the FBI busted our activity.”
2/ First, familiarize yourself with the name: Yevgeniy Prigozhin, a businessman charged with funding information warfare against the U.S. Prigozhin is a close ally of Putin—a skier who’s career was derailed by a prison stint for teenage prostitution.
washingtonpost.com/news/worldview… #wapo
3/ 13 people, 3 companies indicted: a foreign influence campaign targeting U.S., dox say Prigozhin funded.

Defendants illegally posing as Americans to disrupt presidential election.

Traveling here to gain intel.

Strategic goal: cause discord.

Support Trump, bash Hillary.

Ukrainian who meddled against Trump in 2016 is now under Russia-corruption cloud - thehill.com/opinion/white-…
The country’s chief corruption prosecutor on Thursday opened an investigation into “suspicions” that Serhiy Leshchenko, a crusading anti-corruption member of Ukraine’s parliament and former investigative journalist, accepted bribes in 2016 from a Russian source
Leshchenko previously has denied any wrongdoing. The 2016 purchase of his condo was investigated once before and he was cleared of criminality. Now, however, the allegation of foreign bribe money adds an element.

This awed tone of MSM coverage of #Sanders is so gendered.

Harris and Klobuchar are both daughters of single mothers who had to raise their kids alone after their husbands left the families.
Warren also grew up in a working class family in Oklahoma.

THREAD📌📌📌
1/
Money was a stress for these women's families as well. Klobuchar has spoken movingly of her family's estrangement from her father, an alcoholic.
But the coverage of these women not only hasn't reflected this awe of their families' struggles, but has been harshly critical.

2/
No one has situated Klobuchar's perfectionism within the well-documented construct of being the child of an alcoholic fighting chaos.

Harris and Klobuchar both had to work harder than their male counterparts to get on their college & career paths, due to their backgrounds.

I really do enjoy talking to people on here. Its the main reason i love being on here. Something has just occurred to me about this illegal immigration situation and the democrats. Remember how the Dems. used to be against it? Now they are for it right? Why is that?
After the last presidential election, they democrats realized they could not win without bringing in millions of illegals. I know many of you already know this, but its so funny how i can picture it in my head.I have a photographic memory and imagination. I see things in pictures
When the Dems wanted to border closed and protected, they thought they would never lose an election. The more the Dems attack this president though,the more support they lose.When you see lies upon lies being spewed out against an honest person, eventually you feel sorry for them

A friendly #reminder. Once the #Primaries are done, and you have who's ever leftover (#firstchoice or not)

From there, Pick the #candidate who is most likely to treat #humans as #humanbeings.

I like #Polis. I like #Kennedy.
I can only have 1.
but they both see me as a human.
There's no extra choice to this.
The GOP governor candidates have made their stances that some humans are better than others.

so.... yeah.
That's how I pick. After I'm done hoping for the best, I will work with the rest.
I just find it's really hard to work with a candidate's "promises to protect blah" when they could care less about the people who inhabit the area.
