really? Romney spent this week “vocally” calling for witnesses??

the Bubble is thick, indeed
I.e. Romney was on CNN every night passionately defending the Constitution and pleading w/ his colleagues to embrace transparency?

good grief
Romney all week
and be now NYT is going to lift Mitt up and carry him around on their shoulders

1. NEWS: We can't mend this American mess if we don't try to fix the press. So I'm launching a newsletter, Press Run. A proudly progressive dissection of the press in the age of Trump, Press Run promises fearless media commentary; pressrun.substack.com
2. When a radical White House player is eagerly chipping away at our freedoms and the Constitution, we need the press to stand up to the unprecedented challenge at hand — a press corps that doesn't wallow in "Both Sides" journalism as a way to escape the wrath from Republicans
3. And with a presidential campaign unfolding that promises to be unlike any we've ever seen in American history, Press Run will help make sense of the media's crucial role, and arm you with the information you need to fight this ongoing battle. pressrun.substack.com/p/why-press-ru…

apparently NYT thinks Hillary wasn't 2016 nominee....
i'm also dying that NYT thought Trump wouldn't win nomination!!

in **Jan** 2016 he had an 18 pt lead in the GOP primary polls.
and they do this for a living.

#Eğitim ve #YKS19 hakkındaki tartışmalar devam ederken, #Fransa'da Napolyon'un emriyle 1808'den beri uygulanan "bac" sınavından söz etmekte fayda var.

Bu, her lise öğrencisinin mezuniyet için geçmek zorunda olduğu açık uçlu bir sınav.

Sorulara birkaç örnek vermek istiyorum:
• İnsanlık kendisi hakkında illüzyonlar yaratmaya mahkum mudur?

• Bilimsel bir hipotezi ispatlayabilir miyiz?

• Gerçeği aramak bizim görevimiz midir?

• Devlet olmadan daha özgür olur muyduk?

• Doğal arzular gerçek olabilir mi?

• Çalışmanın tek amacı faydalı olmak mı?
• Her inanç, mantığa ters olmak zorunda mıdır?

• Geçmişin tutsakları mıyız?

• Teknolojik gelişmeler özgürlüğümüzü tehdit eder mi?

• İmkansızı arzulamak absürt mü?

• Teknik gelişmeler insanları dönüştürür mü?

• Dil, düşünceye ihanet eder mi?

'You have spent the last two years failing to do your job, which is to directly represent the popular will of your constituents.' - Anna Timmer at townhall 5/28/19
@justinamash responded: "My job is to uphold the Constitution."
Lets discuss this...
In a @YouTube vid Ms Timmer cites Encyclopedia Britannica 'The House of Reps shares equal responsibility for lawmaking with the U.S. Sen. As conceived by the framers of the Constitution, the House was to represent the popular will, and its members were to be directly elected.'
There is some truth to the above statement. The real question here is who is right and how is that 'job' executed properly and in good faith?

Fairly sure that many EU-watchers and the public at large pretty shaken by a speech by May that did not actually tell us that much, or so it seemed. More than anything, it was the tone of blame on MPs. But I've gone through it line by line. /1
“Nearly three years have passed since the public voted to leave the EU. It was the biggest democratic exercise in our country’s history."

Tiresome: EUref used the general election voting list. So 'exercise' not bigger, but each vote equal unlike GE where many do not vote. /2
In fact, elections to the European Parliament in the UK are the biggest exercise as the electoral list longer (includes EU citizens), even though turnout much lower (but not voting is still a choice in an election). /3

Really @FareedZakaria?

Listen for what exactly?

Ways to appease white nationalists? Ways to make racists feel all warm and fuzzy inside?

Please explain, because I really don't understand what the hell is going on here.

Let's break this down a bit.

#SteveBannon
#CNN

1/
You had a conversation with a man who looks perfectly normal, seems amiable, even likable. A man who can and will and has lied about his most base beliefs in order to further his real agenda.

Bannon believes our government should be fully dismantled.

@FareedZakaria

2/
Once dismantled he believes that a "temporary" totalitarian autocracy should be installed for an indeterminate period pending the "reeducation" of combatant citizens.

Those are the core beliefs he has been espousing for decades.

Many channels like KBS and CNN has broadcasted about the events but not about today. PLEASE HELP US. MANY LIVES ARE LOST.
The paths have gone bloody by the bloods of our youth. No one is stopping them. We are just teen students from school and college we are failing to fight back these goons.Please help us. #bangladeshstudentprotests #WeWantJustice #justice_is_wanted #AFP #AP @KBSWorldTV @AlJazeera

خصوم ترمب مستنفرين والإعلام الأمريكي (#cnn #msnbc وأخواتهما النيويورك تايمز والواشنطن بوست وعصابة اليسار المنحازة ضد ترمب منذ فوزه بالرئاسة ) في حالة سعار وجنون غير مسبوق:

نعم
قد يكون ترمب أخطأ في التشكيك بتقارير استخبارات بلاده وتماهى مع بوتين ، لكن يظل السؤال#
2️⃣
🔴🔴
خصوم ترمب غاضبون لأنه تماهى مع بوتين وشكك في تقارير استخبارات بلاده،وهذا مفهوم،لكن:

لماذا صمت هذا الإعلام عندما ركع اوباما لإيران،وخضع لابتزاز الملالي،واعتقلت ايران جنودا أمريكيين وأهانتهم؟!
هل تماهي ترمب مع بوتين أسوأ من اعتقال وإهانة جنود أمريكيين بلباسهم العسكري؟!
3️⃣
🔴🔴
حتى معظم الجمهوريين الذين يتحجج الإعلام الأمريكي حاليا أنهم غاضبون على ترمب هم خصوم له ، مثل السيناتور جون مكين ، وحاكم ولاية اوهايو ، جون كيسي ، الذي حرمه ترمب من حلم الفوز بالرئاسة، وغيرهم من الجمهوريين الذين جندلهم ترمب في سباق الرئاسة بشكل أفقدهم صوابهم!
