Apple changing its maps inside Russia to make Crimea part of Russia is a huge scandal. Regionalization of facts is unacceptable appeasement. theverge.com/2019/11/27/209…
Software is soft power. American tech companies should stand up for the values of innovation that made their success possible, not bow down to dictators for a little extra cash they don't even need. Call Putin's bluff.
Where is the backlash? American consumers have the power to change the world for the better by protesting against such things, from Crimea to Hong Kong. Stop letting tech companies & tyrants have it both ways.

Every president & party has exploited and even bent the rules to pass an agenda. But the Trumpist GOP's actual agenda is to bend and break the rules. Flouting the law is the point. It sets the stage for anything at all.
McConnell & Graham saying they won't be impartial jurors was bad, but openly boasting about it is remarkable. Giuliani proudly continuing his corruption in Ukraine is another example. They want to show their impunity, that they are above the law.
This also attempts to normalize corrupt behavior, to keep shifting what is acceptable to pave the way for further abuses. More foreign interference, more obstruction. They have moved into the "why not?" framework used by autocrats.

It looks like a crushing defeat for Corbyn, but now with Brexit all but guaranteed, perhaps the old communist is finally fulfilling the Comintern's mandate to bring down the British empire!
I hope the Democrats hear the message from the UK this time. Avoiding the biggest issue with wild promises of controversial changes when people want sanity & stability is the way to get four more years of Trump.
I'll follow up on this at length in an article, but I've already written warning variations of it many times. If the response to radicalism is more radicalism on the other side, eventually only the most extreme are happy.

Beautiful final statement by 21-year old Yegor Zhukov before he is sentenced tomorrow for posting pro-democracy videos. This is the real face of Russia, not Putin, and why I still have hope for Russia's future. herewestand.space/the-final-word
"The only social politics Russian Government consistently pursues is separation. This is how The State dehumanizes us into each other's eyes. In the State's eyes, we have been dehumanized for a long time. How else such barbaric treatment can be explained?"
"I really wish to see the two qualities in my fellow citizens: responsibility and love. The responsibility for themselves, for those who surround me, for the whole country. The love for the weak, for the neighbor, for humanity."

Remember the Cohen, Sater, Flynn, Manafort & Artemenko “Ukrainian Peace Plan” Feb 2017?

Does the WBC deemed a “credible & urgent” NatSec issue center in a version of the above to cede the Crimea & republics of Donetsk & Luhansk to RU & lift sanctions?

Zelensky, Trump may meet in New York next week Sept 25, 2019

Ergo WBC = urgent & credible NatSec issue — not the Biden issue per se.

"Trump's extraordinary promotion of Putin" — In move to soften #Russia's pariah status, #Trump advocated publicly & privately for #Putin at #G7 … amid warnings that Russia is actively trying to interfere in the 2020 presidential election. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump… h/t @McFaul
Spot-on description of Trump as #Putin’s advocate, apologist & promoter at #G7, working hard to soften #Russia’s well-deserved pariah status.
😲Trump even tried to redefine G7 as NOT a gathering of democracies. And became combative about democracy having no special weight‼️
There’s no good reason to reward Putin now. #Russia’s only become a worse pariah since annexing Crimea in 2014. Think Ukraine, Syria, Skripal, election ops.

We’d be fools not to view Trump inviting Putin to G7 as also an invitation to help him in 2020, as he did in 2016. #Maddow

Oh look. #Russia is rewriting history w/ #propaganda and calling it #TrueHistory🙄

ACTUAL #FACTUALHISTORY: The #MolotovRibbentrop pact triggered the Nazi invasion of Poland & WWII. Stalin made a cold-blooded calculation to align w/ Hitler & enslave Europe together. #FactsMatter
Russia/USSR supplied Nazi Germany w/ grain & oil as Hitler invaded Denmark, Norway, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Luxembourg. Soviet supplies made it impossible for Royal Navy to effectively blockade Germany during the Battle of Britain. #FactualHistory #MolotovRibbentropPact
As they jointly occupied Poland in 1939-41, Russia/Soviets & Nazis each sought to destroy national elites & used strikingly similar policies of deportations & executions. Together, they executed 10s of 1000s of Polish civilians. #FactualHistory #MolotovRibbentropPact #FactsMatter

There is clear evidence now that shows Hillary Clinton's family & charity profited from Moscow & simultaneously facilitated official gvmt actions benefiting #Russia that have raised security concerns #ticktock #lockherup #panicinDC #GITMO #WWG1WGA thehill.com/opinion/white-…GBkEEfwr
Define 'Projection'.
How do you fix something that is known to be broken (corrupt)?
Do you first need to remove those responsible? #draintheswamp
Think FBI/DOJ 'exit' list.
How do you 'restore' the image (public faith) of our most prestigious ‘law enforcement’ institutions?
Hold people accountable?
Equal justice under the law?
The battle begins (as seen today) w/ public opinion.
The FIGHT to win PUBLIC FAVORABILITY.
The FIGHT to control the NARRATIVE.
How do Democrats control the NARRATIVE?
