Missed this from Friday: FTC rips Bannon’s “bluster” for refusing to cooperate with their investigation of unresolved issues in the Cambridge Analytica case (such as whatever happened to the data, Steve?) law360.com/articles/13394…
“The FTC urged a D.C. federal judge to order Bannon to appear at a hearing the commission requested in September 2019 as part of its wide-ranging probe…”

“Perhaps realizing that he cannot refuse to attend the investigational hearing simply because he intends to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights, Bannon resorts to groundless accusations of improper motive," the @FTC's attorneys wrote. "But it's all just bluster."
“Bannon denies any involvement in the alleged data harvesting.”🤣
And we’re just “fascinated” with his “celebrity.” 😂

Grasp the incentives. Doesn’t even matter that it’s Veteran’s Day today. Thought it was fascist drift but maybe it’s more like fascist grift.
“The sooner this stops the better. Not just for the republic. But for the world.”

—@TimothyDSnyder just now on @msnbc via Vienna
Unfortunately, this is the end-game clash of pure American entrepreneurialism (anything goes grift) clashing against pure American democracy (the so-called beacon of the “free world”).

Started as a grift. Presided as a grift. Ending as a grift.
Ran for president to grift the brand. Didn’t expect to win.

Ran the presidency as a grift for the brand. Didn’t expect to lose.

Grifted into a hole. Grifting his way out.
Republicans struggle to let Trumpist grift go because it is wholly compatible with their core philosophy: Everything should be for sale.

MSNBC breaks away from carrying POTUS live immediately as he makes dangerously false claims to delegitimize election integrity. Remarkable.
A deliberate act, not merely the demented musings of a desperate madman.
Biden hitting 270 should give cover to Republicans to defend the Republic from despotic delegitimization and reckless incitement. We’ll see.

Newly FOIA’d Mueller docs support idea data pooled across RNC Data Trust, Cambridge Analytica, Fabrizio, and Kellyanne Conway polling and lines up with 2016 Trump campaign database obtained by @Channel4News and recent docs posted for @CampaignLegal illegal coordination complaint
Rick Gates was sending Fabrizio data to Russian Intelligence via Sam Patten’s business partner KILIMNICK over WhatsApp and it’s finally become clearer that this data was at least conceptually synced to RNC and Cambridge Analytica’s accurate predictions of the battleground states.
Obviously the bar for a campaign to get caught in a conspiracy with a foreign power is impossibly high despite sending data this way when you have enough layers of intermediaries, copious plausible deniability, cynical media skepticism, and a profoundly corrupt Attorney General.

Good reason to dismantle it actually. Anything boycott-resistant needs a government intervention since the free market has been rendered moot.
You can’t boycott Facebook. User’s can’t. Advertiser’s can’t. That why it must be dismantled. Nothing should be able to withstand a boycott from both the B2B and B2C side. Nothing is more clearly a trust worth busting. That it manages our elections is only insult to injury.
Many people are saying, just #DeleteFacebook. It does nothing. It is hopeless. It is not the responsibility of individuals. It is the responsibility of a democratically elected government to break up a boycott-resistant company to achieve accountability.

A most undeserving monopoly.
They broke up AT&T and everything was fine. They can break up Zuck’s dumpster fire and everything will also be ok.
No company should be managing elections. It must be dismantled. Full stop.
