the sordid and pathetic details of the weak-minded and easily swayed wanting to be vigilantes is going to be played out in courts over the next year. lawandcrime.com/live-trials/li…
It should be remembered that Facebook and a cluster of ill intentioned people planned to disrupt a protest using violence and intimidation. Kyle bumped into a crazy guy and didn't have the cool head to handle it. So he murdered him. cnn.com/2020/09/24/us/…
"Rosenbaum had never attended a protest, and seemed caught up in this one almost by accident. He carried a clear plastic bag containing a deodorant stick, underwear and socks that the hospital had given him" washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/10…
Facebook is "tweaking". I suppose at some point we and lawmakers should that discussion about Facebook being used to plan violent events. foxnews.com/politics/faceb…
Equal time....how exactly does Facebook know who is a "dangerous individual"? facebook.com/business/news/…
"we’ve removed over 790 groups, 100 Pages and 1,500 ads tied to QAnon from Facebook, blocked over 300 hashtags across Facebook and Instagram, and additionally imposed restrictions on over 1,950 Groups and 440 Pages on Facebook and over 10,000 accounts on Instagram. "
Imagine if Facebook was legal viewed as a publisher and via their editing, considered liable for what they published. Then watch them scramble. nypost.com/2021/07/20/fac…
Social media allows anyone to have equal time with the most literate of the main stream media. They can be just as famous as the most talented artist or learned scientist. Now they just have to understand the responsibility of that fame. Image

So I learned that my consumption of food, shelter and gas needs to be trimmed back but my survival on "other" needs to increase. washingtonpost.com/business/2021/… Image
Reader's Digest (the magazine your great grandparents read) took a shot at predicting that things will be cheaper. Like Gas, rent and...bullshit. Everything is more expensive..cuz....covid. Companies did this after 9/11 too cuz....terrorism. rd.com/list/things-th…
your first clue to dishonest articles is the stock photos. Then the contrarian headline. The reality is corporations are trying to make as much money as they can while people are spending. Bad Pr, labor shortage and "supply chain" excuses be damned. yahoo.com/now/57-items-g…

Baughman's work and career are definitely worth a revisit in today's environment. thephoblographer.com/2017/03/10/eth…

Week Two of Defuckerize America. The most obvious candidate for imminent defuckerization is Steve Bannon (Go USPS!). He needs a Lifetime Achievement Award for "Worst Single Collection of Things Called Films" and best "Before" Homeless Makeover Model. thedailybeast.com/i-watched-all-…
"Justice officials say they expected criticism over the delay in making a decision on the Bannon criminal referral, Garland has established a methodical approach to making decisions, aware that the department will be criticized no matter which way it goes."cnn.com/2021/11/06/pol…
Speaking of people telling the DoJ to stick it. Sam Nunberg (how quickly we forgot "The Full Nunberg") explains why Trump needed the right wing junk news crowd and the evangelicals in his camp. And yes he relented and testified.

Apparently travel is back. Although I can guarantee you is going to much less fun that it used to be during the pandemic. It should also be time for listicles on "Dangerous Places" and "Forbidden Places". news.com.au/travel/destina…
Bored interns are tasked with googling things that seem dangerous with no apparent knowledge whether they are safe or not. For example none of these listicle places are actually dangerous. traveltriangle.com/blog/most-dang…
Not to be outdone, this blog goes all the way to "incredibly dangerous". Reality? there are group travel packages to all these nations. Yes even Afghanistan and Syria. explorersweb.com/2021/01/05/the…

Those obsessed with the stern merkined one's investigation into FISA abuse re Steele should remember that FISAs are to investigate espionage as (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) and the Office of the Inspector General has been down this road before. justice.gov/storage/120919…
There was deep suspicion that specific members of Trump's team were not only in contact with foreign agents (aka spies) but might even be getting paid by them with the end state being infiltration and manipulation of our government. justice.gov/nsd-fara/frequ…
Turns out that the FBI was correct. They just didn't shoot high or wide enough. Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner had sent a friend Rick Gerson to the Seychelles to set up a "back channel" with Putin. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…

Week one in #Defuckerize America. Is someone finally letting the stink out? Go team. cnbc.com/2021/11/06/fbi…
It's not just about a diary. It is most likely about a coordinated effort to attack, blackmail and degrade the authority of elected or appointed U.S. officials. Many of the individuals in this week's activities have direct links to towhead. theweek.com/speedreads/982…
FYI. For every new indictment story about how terrible and uncredible people are....there is always an older Trump story. Image
