Once. Just once, I want a news journo to say: "We're not covering latest Clinton thing bc after 20 years we've learned they're bullshit."
Benghazi - BULLSHIT
Uranium One - BULLSHIT
Pizzagate - BULLSHIT
Seth Rich - BULLSHIT
Email-gate - BULLSHIT
Brazile-gate - BULLSHIT
Whitewater - BULLSHIT
Troopergate - BULLSHIT
Travelgate - BULLSHIT
Clinton Cash - BULLSHIT
Clinton "murders" - BULLSHIT
Vince Foster - BULLSHIT
Clinton Foundation "pay scandal" - BULLSHIT
Foggy Bottom - BULLSHIT
CHRISTMAS CARD "scandal" - BULLSHIT
Nobody even fact-checked Donna Brazile's documents. They were too busy piling on to Clinton for a NON-STORY.

After 20 YEARS of non-stories.
I would also accept "We're gonna do research before covering it because these stories have proven false literally every time for 20 years."
And at what cost?

The email story was by far the BIGGEST story of the 2016 election. Guess what?

IT WAS BULLSHIT. There were NO CHARGES.
If it hadn't been for the media's craven obsession w bs Clinton "scandals," Trump would've lost.

It is now literally threatening democracy.
So take a note: next time some Clinton "scandal" pops up conveniently close to an election or some Trump-created travesty of democracy...
Remember that every one of these "scandals" has been debunked and we must focus on the travesty of democracy created by Trump instead.
Every. Single. One. of these stories has been debunked.

99.9% of Americans earn less than $10 million a year.

Taxing 0.1% of the population 70% on every dollar AFTER their first ten million would NOT harm the economy.

What other countries spend on health care & infrastructure, we spend on low taxes for the super wealthy.
This type of spending is GOOD for the economy since accumulated wealth doesn't circulate while the economic benefit of improved infrastructure, education and health care is MASSIVELY beneficial to productivity (not to mention quality of life for 320 million people).
I'm seeing this argument in conservative circles that taxing the rich is "unethical."

What utter horseshit.

What's unethical is letting people die in the street from inadequate health care just so some banker can afford a second yacht.

Right now in America people are donating money they don’t have to build a wall they don’t need to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.
The GoFundMe for the Wall has raised about $3 million in 3 days.

At this rate, the Wall will be fully-funded by...2086.

Racists are bad at math.
My favorite part of all this,

Cost of border Wall:
$25,000,000,000.00

Cost of anti-border Wall device:
$15.97

FOX NEWS: Flynn's offenses were no worse than jaywalking.

JUDGE SULLIVAN (TO MICHAEL FLYNN, IN COURT): This crime is very serious. You can't minimize that. You sold your country out.

🔥🔥🔥
FOX NEWS: What Flynn did is like getting a parking ticket.

JUDGE SULLIVAN (to Michael Flynn, in court): You were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the National Security Adviser to the president!

This undermines everything this flag stands for!
Speaking of Fox News, @JudgeJeanine recently called Judge Sullivan, “A jurist unafraid of the swamp, a judge who has a track record of calling out prosecutorial misconduct, a man who does not tolerate injustice or abuse of power."

For once, I agree.

Some people have shown interest once again in Benghazi, to me this tragedy is still very important. I'm not talking about Susan Rice hitting the Sunday Morning circuit lying about the attack, however it is important but all the things leading up to Benghazi, & why they were there
On July 25, 2012 Taliban fighters in Kunar province Afghanistan successfully targeted a US Army CH-47 helicopter with a new generation Stinger missile. The terrorists didn't properly arm the missile, so it didn't explode, it only downed the chopper. #Benghazi
The next day, an EOD team arrived to pick through the wreckage and found unexploded pieces of a missile casing that could only belong to a new generation Stinger missile. Lodged in the right nacelle, they found one fragment that contained an entire serial number.

1. “Benghazi ain’t going away.”

2. In 2012, Ma'an Network committed to establishing a 24-hour online news website in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya...?

3. “Revelations of donations to the Clinton Foundation after Hillary Clinton joined the Obama administration in January 2009...”

Planned visit’s to... [Qatar] “interrupted” in Feb 2011, by protests in Egypt, followed by the same in Libya. (convenient)

1/ Much cultural heritage was destroyed in Mid-East. Look at Palmyra, Mosul...

Luckily ancient Greek city of Cyrene in east Libya was spared.

We took a drone to Cyrene +horse tracks of Benghazi +ruins of Susa.

Fly with me above a Libya u don't often see
2/ Cyrene (in the town of Shahat) is just a stunning place.

Luckily ISIS/Qaeda never reached it but were kept near to Derna, around 60 km to the east. Nothing in Cyrene was vandalized.

The tribe of Shahhat protects this historic site.

@akhbar
3/ These days Cyrene is open to the public.

Not a lot of foreign visitors due to Libya's problems but many local people visit it.

I wouldn't say it was crowded but I saw around 100 visitors in one afternoon.

So, apparently, the thing now is to just call this @jonathanchait piece crazy because that's what you do now to pieces about Trump and Russia. It's a long piece, and I doubt most people have read it carefully, but here's some comments. /1
nymag.com/daily/intellig…
First, the cautions: I think Chait is too willing to take a flyer in a few places. (The pee story. Saying "it could be true" doesn't mean anything. I wouldn't have bothered with it.) Also, the chart, which is captioned "a crazy quilt," is a crazy quilt. It's not helpful. /2
Also, I don't have juicy inside info or special classified Secret Squirrel stuff here. My observations are based on being a Russia for most of my career. Chait is not a Russia guy (afaik), and neither (afaik) are his critics. /3

1) I was wrong, this is not the Schiff memo. This is just a tantrum via a letter to Gowdy and Nunes who are stomping the Democrat's shit in up and down the fucking aisle.

democrats-oversight.house.gov/sites/democrat…
2) Fuck it, live tweet reading this anyways.
3) The letter is Cummings 'n Schiffhole demanding that Gowdy and Nunes hold the transcribe interview with the Uranium One informant, and was why the Uranium One investigation into Hillary taking millions from Russia to influence US policy was revived.
