my latest—just when press seemed to be turning a corner re: Trump coverage; dailykos.com/story/2019/10/…
key point: It's not up to CNN and other media players to hire bad actors simply because the conservative movement is filled with bad actors.
news outlets ought to have easily identifiable standards, and if would-be paid contributors can't meet those standards, they should not be hired.

my latest—this was all inevitable. there are no truthful Trump defenders. media needs to give up the ghost; dailykos.com/story/2019/10/…
there is no off switch for people like Duffy who have downed gallons of the Trump Kool-Aid. He *believes* this stuff. and now CNN is going to apologize weekly/monthly for commentator they pay??

doesn’t add up, obviously
Duffy embarrassed CNN this week because he said precisely what's on his mind. So of course, Duffy will continue to embarrass CNN in coming days, weeks, and months.

trying to defend the indefensible makes everyone at Facebook look small
people like @campbell_brown are either fine w/ the racist hate that Breitbart spews, or she has no idea what the content looks like—neither reflect well on Facebook

this is what happens when you bow down to GOP bullies, you end up with impossible-to-defend policies; nytimes.com/2019/10/28/tec…

#Trump has not lost his marbles entirely. I have a theory as to why he wants to buy it

He wants to hide the uncomfortable truth about #climatechange and sea level rises, so business will be conducted as usual and hell to the future

Trump totally insulted Ireland and the PM. First, he wanted the PM to come to his golf course for a state visit (even though it was approx 180 miles from the capital) and so instead they met at Shannon Airport. #trump #Ireland businessinsider.com/varadkar-met-t…
Then, just as the reinstitution of a border with Northern Ireland under Brexit has heightened tensions and fears of a return to sectarian violence, Trump comes in praising borders and walls. #trump #Ireland washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
Finally, when asked if his trip to Ireland was just to promote his golf course, he said "this trip is really about great relationships that we have with the U.K" ignoring the fact that Ireland has not been part of the UK since 1922. #trump #Ireland washingtonpost.com/world/europe/i…

#Trump-mais il n'est pas le seul (cf. ci-dessous)- démontre aujourd'hui qu'il n'a rien compris au #MeToo, et à ses revendications. Bien sûr, #Kavanaugh est présumé innocent de l'accusation mais le président en fait 1 victime, tout en taisant la parole de l'agressée. Frappant. RT+
#LastRT Et quand l'ex-président #Bush, pourtant retiré de la vie publique et très discret, ne sort de son silence que pour défendre #Kavanaugh par principe AVANT MÊME que la victime ait pu s'exprimer, là aussi rien ne change. politico.com/story/2018/09/…
#LastRT Encore 1 fois, #Kavanaugh est présumé innocent, il n'y a aucune preuve apportée pour l'instant contre lui. Et l'accusatrice n'a pas encore confirmé qu'elle témoignerait au Sénat. Mais comment s'en étonner si sa parole est tant minorée par avance? politico.com/story/2018/09/…

Our stealth #PatriotPOTUS has been quietly working for months...many involved...lining it all up. Yesterday in Singapore was not the first step. It was the *NEXT* step in a series of actions that have been underway for peace in the world. 🇺🇸

Didn't @SecPompeo rush to the airport right after approval?
Given the time difference, this doc may have been signed within hours of his approval.
An inter-Korean summit took place on 27 April 2018. If an initial agreement was reached on that day, negotiations had been in process for months prior!

Let me explain how Paul Manafort's #TrumpRussia indictments are rolling rapidly from election inference into a replay of the Jack Abramoff scandal, but on STEROIDS, involving the secretive sale of American foreign policy for dark money.

washingtonpress.com/2018/02/23/mue…
Manafort and Gates lobbied in the US for Kremlin-linked oligarchs & political parties for a decade, but before their scorched earth, divisive GOP politics inflamed a regional war, they went on a secret diplomatic offensive on behalf of their client, kleptocrat Victor Yanukovych.
Manafort founded the European Center for a Modern Ukraine to be a secret western lobbying front group for Yanukovych.

For obvious reasons, his kleptocratic client had a perception problem, i.e. reality.

Yanukovych is Putin's vassal.

Manafort hid his involvement for years.
