🚨Trump has tweeted a quote from OANN for the second time in three days.🚨

Left, OANN's The Daily Ledger, 8:05 p.m.
Right, Trump, 7:14 a.m.
Here's the one from Monday.

Left, OANN's The Daily Ledger, 3:58 a.m.

Right, Trump, 6:19 a.m.
I don't think he can actually sustain this, OANN production values are unspeakably bad. In any case he's tweeted about or retweeted Fox content nearly 300 times over the last month. mediamatters.org/fox-news/nearl…
20 minutes after that Monday tweet, OANN's anchor highlights it, adds, "We know the president watches One America News, so President Trump if you ever want to call in and give us your take on whatever is happening, please do so. We know you watch and we greatly appreciate that."

This chyron went up on Fox News at 10:11 ET, but Ed Henry et all aren't talking about their former colleague reportedly in talks to participate in the impeachment inquiry, they are just ranting about the supposed lack of transparency in the House impeachment process.
They just went to commercial without mentioning it. Amazing.
A glancing mention earlier this hour by Chris Wallace is Fox News' only acknowledgement today that their former colleague John Bolton might testify before the impeachment inquiry.

I wrote about this after the Mueller hearing: “Republican politicians have taken an important lesson from [the Fox-Trump] feedback loop: They can use Fox to gain power in their party.” mediamatters.org/fox-news/its-n…
“The incentives for these members of Congress were straightforward: By regularly appearing on Fox to defend Trump from Mueller, they could capture the Fox-obsessed president’s attention and garner his favor.

That strategy worked.”
That’s the entire schtick for House Republicans like Gaetz, or Jim Jordan, or John Ratcliffe: converting acts of pro-Trump fealty into Fox hits that the president watches, thus earning his support and gaining power within the GOP.

A list of important things about the Matt Gaetz crew storming the hearing:

1) The idiots took cameras into a SCIF.

2) My mentions are screwed up.

That’s it. That’s the list.
Ok fine.

3) This shows how the prime directive of and manner of gaining power within the House GOP is to do incredibly stupid shit that bolsters your Trumpist bona fides and gets you on Hannity.
But seriously, RIP my menchies.

Trump announces he has canceled a secret meeting at Camp David with Taliban leaders set for Sunday – three days before the 18th anniversary of September 11 –after a car bombing in Kabul nytimes.com/2019/09/07/us/…
Thread from a pre-eminent expert on Afghanistan & former senior advisor to the State Department's special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan. (h/t @metaquest)
.@BRRubin nailed it.

"At Camp David, separate meetings with each side would then lead to a grand announcement by Trump.

The Taliban leaders, however, compared the proposal to the Americans’ tricking them into political suicide."

#Trump said his Russian business efforts, including during the campaign were "Very legal" and "VERY COOL."

HAHAHAH....yep, I sure do agree with that. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, most of the media have no clue, though some of them do, b/c some have reported the truth.
Well, sommanab*tch! The link I saved from one of the media outlets that knew ...now seems to be gone. Of course I couldn't archive it because it was WaPo. They wouldn't let me archive it.
Well, here's another one, by Buzzfeed, no less. They KNEW that Trump worked WITH the FBI, yet they participated in the conspiracy against him to frame him as the guilty one.

On This Day. 1945: For the second time in three days, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Japan—this time on Nagasaki. Shown: The doomed city before and after the attack. /1
In the weeks before the atomic bomb was even tested, President Truman and his advisors (called the "Interim Committee") carefully studied - agonized, really - over whether to use the bomb, or to invade Japan ("Operation Olympic") in November 1945 /2
In the end, horrendous American casualties on Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and the prospect of even greater U.S. and Japanese bloodshed in an invasion of Japan itself, convinced Truman that the bomb would save more lives than it would take - while shortening the war /3
