Supporting Assange and supporting Trump are two mutually contradictory positions, since the Trump administration is orchestrating the thing that Assange has spent years trying to avoid. It seems like many Trump supporters do a lot of mental gymnastics to avoid confronting this.
QAnon people are the best at these mental gymnastics. They're able to somehow contort their minds into believing that this US extradition agenda, which Assange spent years fighting, is in everyone's best interest, including Assange.
And of course Democrats who want to hate Trump yet cheer for a Trump administration agenda are the exact same kind of stupid.

Go to Molly's tweet and then select "View Hidden Replies". I told you that function was created as a tool for establishment narrative management.
FYI here's how you view hidden replies on a tweet:

It's so telling that billionaires are acting as though being a billionaire is an actual part of their identity, like saying they shouldn't have billions of dollars is comparable to saying actual people shouldn't exist. Wealth identity politics is peak capitalism.
The billionaire class has already proven with its actions that it cannot exist without actively working to manipulate governments in a way that undeniably subverts democracy and the will of the people. The debate over whether or not billionaires should exist is long settled.
A few million dollars will buy you a nice car, a nice house and some nice clothes. A few billion dollars will buy you the ability to control public narratives using media ownership, lobbyists and think tanks, thereby manipulating entire governments. Billionaires should not exist.

When I learned I'd been named in my first Bellingcat smear I was a bit thrilled, but it turned out to just be one of those articles that reports innocuous things in an ominous tone of voice. I guess "bloggers receive cash prize from US antiwar group" would've made a bad headline.
Incidentally @Bellingcat (who has me blocked) is funded by narrative management firms like the NED, a US government regime change op explicitly established during the Reagan administration to do overtly what the CIA had previously been doing covertly. iefd.org/articles/troja…
@bellingcat I should also add that anti-imperialists need to stop treating Charles Davis like he's an actual thing. One time his account disappeared for weeks or months and literally no one noticed. He has zero impact outside a very small echo chamber of blue-ticks.

One viral image being shared on social media used a bit of reverse psychology, asking what Americans would think if the details of this story involved the #tRump family rather than the #Biden family. #GreatWhiteHunter

A viral image being shared on social media uses reverse psychology, asking what Americans would think if the details of this story involved the #tRump family with its #GreatWhiteHunter sons rather than the #Biden family with its "great white" son, Hunter.
politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
#HunterBiden was a senior VP for financial services giant #MBNA — an arrangement that drew criticism during the 2008 elections for potential conflict of interests.
As senator, #JoeBiden spearheaded legislation that would have affected MBNA’s business. cnbc.com/2014/05/13/bid… #DNC

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

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
