Glenn Beck is a modern day John Bircher. Good to see the GOP (via Trump’s campaign manager) bringing conservatism back to its early 1960s roots.
Here’s a 2010 article on Beck’s distinctive brand of conspiracy tin foil-dom by historian Sean Wilentz that traces the genealogical ties between Beck and the Birchers. newyorker.com/magazine/2010/…
An old thread where I argue that the Bannon-esque alt-right bears quite a resemblance to the JBS, which was a significant influence on the 1960s Goldwater-ite GOP.

John C Calhoun in 1849, sounding a heckuva lot like Tucker Carlson speaking about immigration, or Republicans talking about the relationship between the Democratic Party and voters of color.
Full text of Calhoun's "Southern Address." history.furman.edu/~benson/docs/c…
This is also one place where we see Southerners making the argument, in 1849, that chattel slavery was the "cornerstone" of the American Constitutional order. Not a sidelight, but the absolute centerpiece of it.

Looks like the GOP is adopting Ann Coulter's line on Watergate...which is that Nixon did nothing wrong and Watergate was just a hit job by the liberal media ganging up with power-hungry "radical Democrats." These are her words from 2013.
And conservatives call professional historians "revisionists." Takes one to know one, I guess.
If you feel like throwing up in your mouth a little, check out this clip of Coulter at the Nixon Library in *2013* mouthing the contemporary Tucker/Ingraham line about the 1965 immigration bill causing "demographic replacement" by criminal parasites.

Lordy, I hope there are tapes.
Seriously though, that reporting (if accurate) + these tweets and actions by Trump = Clear evidence of Watergate-level cover up.
TFW you’re a rich businessman who donates a few million bucks to a notoriously corrupt POTUS in order to score an ambassadorship, only to land on the pages of the WSJ for helping your man do crimes.

Eccentricity is not a crime and if we must hate and crucify @adeyanjudeji let us get a dagger and stab the soul of Fela Anikulapo Kuti. After all, he once called Buhari and his like ‘Animal in human skin’ and sang into eternity that certain leaders are thieves #FreeDejiAdeyanju
When the silence was hollow and no one dared raise their voice as opposition on twitter, there was just one man, who dared and gave us all the courage, it was @adeyanjudeji , yes, he is eccentric, not a trait that is a crime to kill for #FreeDejiAdeyanju
I feel for @adeyanjudeji because Nigerians and Africans do not react until a person is dead. Bouazizi wasn’t a hero till his immolation and Fela wasn’t really appreciated till he died. Same people who called him hemp smoker paid dollars to go see his broadway musical

💣🔥💥🍿🐾#SamPatten is a starter on this menu. A thread on #Trump #Putin #Collusion: from pop-singers in Taj Mahal to weapons in Syria, plus what Satan, black cats, soccer, Patriarchs & judo wrestling have in common. Tarantino, it is not. Oh, plus #CambridgeAnalytica. 👇
1. #SamPatten admitted failing to register in the U.S. as a foreign agent for his work lobbying on behalf of a Ukrainian political party. Breaking. 👇
2. "The nature of his cooperation isn’t clear." (Yes, but the connections are telling.👇 ) . Patten worked with Manafort and & on microtargeting operations with Cambridge Analytica.

#TrumpRussia got you down? We get it. How can anyone keep up with ALL that mess?

(cue bad music)

INTRODUCING #TRAITOR CARDS! Now you can traitor with your friends! At home, on the go, never again will you forget what’s his face who betrayed your country.

Collect them all! 🇷🇺
1) Multiple ties to the mob & Russia. 4+ intelligence agencies confirmed election meddling. Congress passed sanctions. Government has the power to stop cyber attacks. Poison, hacking attempts, & still, Trump does nothing.

#Traitor #TrumpColluded
2) Trump Jr is best known for being an idiot. He once noted at a real estate summit that his family sees a lot of money from Russia. He also set up the infamous meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. He then tweeted out the evidence.

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
