Missing from this conversation on @Morning_Joe finally brought by @AnandWrites is the word Accountability. Until the Powerful are held Accountable by Media and our Government. People will susceptible to disinformation, and People in Power will keep pushing us further over the Cliff. People are disillusioned with their Government and Media because you can lock a baby in a Cage, lie to the American people about it and then get a Job or an appearance on @MSNBC @CNN or @ABC or an appearance on @MeetThePress and never get asked about it. You can deny

@jaketapper Oh, no, I’m not strapping in. I’m lashing out, and you all have a responsibility to call it BS, ask where the hell is the healthcare plan they promised 10 years ago, and two months ago for coverage of Pre-Existing conditions and how many people died in their district today. @jaketapper Not playing this game with the Media, Political Commentators, Nor Politician’s or Networks doing the most BS for their own Personal Profits. Not doing it at all.

@jelani9 The Irony is that most of us descended from the most Powerful people in the land. It was whispered about, and talked about in our communities and in black owned Journals for years. I was a little girl when my GreatGma told me about the Hemmings, this was before the Fawn Brodie @jelani9 book. Has anyone ever talked about Lena Horne being a descendant of the SC/GA Calhouns? Muhammad Ali’s mother was from the Taliferro line in Virginia, his father’s family so happened to have the exact surname of a Powerful Kentucky Senator. Corey Booker’s Grandma was impregnated

@ProfMSinha @baseballcrank @KatzOnEarth @RichLowry Did Rich have the nerve to say, “illiterate”? Does he not know there are First Documents and Papers out that he could explore. The narratives and journals from the likes of Trotter and Douglass and so many others? The narratives written by the escaped enslaved and people like @ProfMSinha @baseballcrank @KatzOnEarth @RichLowry Paul Jennings? The court documents from the Langston Brother’s (Great Uncles to Langston Hughes) You had whole damn activist Society in Washington D.C. from the hired out enslaved to the Free Society in which Douglass was a part. You had Elizabeth Keckley, a network of Spies

@chrislhayes His Paleo-Libertarian aka “White-Nationalist” ideology he inherited from his father’s Pathological belief that America was better in the 1840’s, is only superimposed by their Ponzi-like Campaign schemings & dependencies on Government checks and benefits to support their lifestyle @chrislhayes I just don’t understand why MSM has allowed them to get away with it for so many years. Steve King was idiotic enough to voice his ideological leanings out loud. Rand and Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan and their ilk, are the very same, they’ve just been able to “rebrand” it into

@mviser It was called “Massive Resistance” and it was about desegregation of schools, Matt. Read about the Southern State plans especially Virginia. See Prince Edward County. That’s why so many black folks whose parents and Aunts and Uncles and those of who we’re the first bussed classes @mviser know that Biden and so many others are really trying to separate the subject, it’s BS. It majority was all about Resistance to school desegregation, and when you all are quoting that a lot of black folks were against it, please always note that it was Violent Resistance.

@RyanLizza @DarrellIssa “I loathe Congress” was one of the truest sentiments he could have stated ..but, they are not allowing context to his texts...all the rest of this is a total embarrassment to the body. @RyanLizza @DarrellIssa Steve Chabot, is actually reading off donations from other FBI agents as if Strozk had something to do with it. If they truly want to open that can of worms, why isn’t Rudy Giuliani and the agents in NY who were leaking to him, sitting right beside, him. They should subpoena

Today’s cable “news” is no longer Journalism but, a talk show reward goes to @MSNBC @HallieJackson they discussed Scott Pruitt’s corruption, showed video of teacher confrontation, then turns back to panel who says testimony of his aides mean more because they are Republican Then basically say it doesn’t matter because Trump and his family have same sort of scandal and ethics violations, but, no pressure from Congressional GOP and his voters don’t care..laugh a little and move on..This is not Journalism, it’s cause of death in 2018, Cable media panel

Hey @jaketapper @Milbank @jmartNYT @DanaBashCNN @chucktodd @CNN @kasie
Try this..instead of spreading a narrative about voters you’ve never talked to..it used to be called “reporting”...
theintercept.com/2018/07/01/oca… The story should be (if you want to just do narrative) is the millennium generation (who happens to be larger than boomers) is more diverse, more accepting of the “other” and agree with the issues that happen to be more Popular than Conservative orthodoxy..@JoeNBC @morningmika

So, your point is..what? Wilberforce, characterized American Slavery “as the vilest that ever saw the sun”... American Slavery was unique because it was race based. It was vile because it was incestuous, it was extremely brutal, and it defied, the principles and values this Country was founded upon. Even Jefferson knew, there would be a reckoning for the institution, he predicted it when

The answer is absolutely NO...they had a lame excuse for the unprecedented coverage of him during the Campaign and now, it’s another as POTUS, it’s ridiculous. If he weren’t POTUS, how many networks would expose their viewers to a guy speaking like that? The racist overtones, the misogyny, the incoherence...if any other person read the transcript out loud, we’d deem them unstable and a Public announcement would be made.
