ABC's Terry Moran thinks it's finally safe to come out and attack Obama CIA's John Brennan for the partisan hack he truly is
Better late than never, I guess, but c'mon, Moran didn't have the courage to do it years ago when it mattered more.
Michael Goodwin: If Hillary were a better person she would apologize and acknowledge Trump's legitimacy, should be shunned until she does
In a better world, or if she were a
better person, she would apologize and publicly acknowledge Trump’s
legitimacy. I won’t hold my breath. But until she does, she should be shunned in public life. She has no
credibility to speak on any issue or endorse any candidate. She has put
the nation through hell all because she lost an election she should have
won. Let’s remember, too, that her campaign actually did work with
Russians, through FusionGPS and British agent Christopher Steele, to
create a fictional scenario about Trump being compromised. ...
It
was, after all, the Clinton-financed Russian dossier that formed the
basis of the FBI investigation launched by the disgraced James Comey
that summer. How did that happen? How did a partisan dirty trick result in an FBI probe of the other party’s presidential candidate? And how did so much classified information leak, including the names
of Trump associates picked up incidentally on wiretaps? Who in the Obama
White House broke the law?
These and other questions deserve at least as much scrutiny as Clinton’s false claims.
As Trump said Sunday, “This was an illegal takedown that failed. And
hopefully, somebody’s going to be looking at the other side.”
Amen to that.
The KGB refused to let the FBI examine its servers, so there can never be peace
The Democrat Party is the biggest threat facing America.
David Axelrod still pretends that the Russian hack of the DNC servers is a solid fact when it's not
Matt Taibbi knows better ("Russiagate is WMD times a million" is the original html), Axelrod's the hack:
I didn’t really address the case that Russia hacked the DNC, content
to stipulate it for now. I was told early on that this piece of the
story seemed “solid,” but even that assertion has remained un-bolstered
since then, still based on an “assessment”
by those same intelligence services that always had issues, including
the use of things like RT’s “anti-American” coverage of fracking as part
of its case. The government didn’t even examine the DNC’s server, the
kind of detail that used to make reporters nervous.
LOL CNN's Brian Stelter: Who me? I had nothing to do with this! Look at all the solid reporting!
CNN has been nothing so much as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith defending transubstantiation in its promulgation of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative for the last two years.

The next two years will be nothing but the sound of the media's excuses for getting Russiagate wrong
Which will be nothing but the flip side to Hillary's excuses for two years for losing Election 2016.
All we ask for is integrity and competence . . . all we get is mendacity and excuses.
Trump's Chair of the Council Economic Advisors, Kevin Hassett, wants to DOUBLE the number of immigrants into the US
David Bossie: An ‘America First’ immigration policy looks like this [no, it doesn't, Mr. Citizens United]:
As President Trump’s Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors
Kevin Hassett pointed out in a 2013 paper for the American Enterprise
Institute, the United States could add half a percentage point to
economic growth by doubling the number of immigrants it lets into the
country, especially if they come on employer-sponsored visas. President
Trump’s chief economist continues to make the case that "for a country
that has long thought of itself as a nation of immigrants, the U.S.
falls far behind almost all the other countries in the number of
immigrants it admitted relative to its population size.”
New Zealand fools evacuate concert over someone's "right wing tattoo" while drinking Confederate bourbon distilled by Germans
Meanwhile German carmakers accounted for 9.3% of New Zealand auto sales in 2018, including 4,048 Volkswagens, Hitler's people's car.
Matt Taibbi: The press has now handed Trump the mother of campaign issues heading into 2020
It's official: Russiagate is this generation's WMD:
The Russiagate era has so degraded journalism that even once “reputable” outlets are now only about as right as politicians, which is to say barely ever, and then only by accident. Early on, I was so amazed by the sheer quantity of Russia “bombshells” being walked back, I started to keep a list. It’s well above 50 stories now. As has been noted by Glenn Greenwald of the Intercept and others, if the mistakes were random, you’d expect them in both directions, but Russiagate errors uniformly go the same way. ...
Nothing Trump is accused of from now on by the press will be believed
by huge chunks of the population, a group that (perhaps thanks to this
story) is now larger than his original base. As [Peter] Baker notes [in the New York Times], a full
50.3% of respondents in a poll conducted this month said they agree with Trump the Mueller probe is a “witch hunt.” ...
The biggest thing this affair has uncovered so far is Donald Trump
paying off a porn star. That’s a hell of a long way from what this
business was supposedly about at the beginning, and shame on any
reporter who tries to pretend this isn’t so. ...
CNN
told us Trump officials had been in “constant contact” with “Russians
known to U.S. intelligence,” and the former director of the CIA ["former" communist John Brennan], who’d
helped kick-start the investigation that led to Mueller’s probe, said
the President was guilty of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” committing
acts “nothing short of treasonous.” ...
[N]ews outlets once again swallowed a massive disinformation campaign,
only this error is many orders of magnitude more stupid than any in the
recent past, WMD included. Honest reporters like ABC’s Terry Moran
understand: Mueller coming back empty-handed on collusion means a “reckoning for the media.” Of
course, there won’t be such a reckoning. (There never is). But there
should be. We broke every written and unwritten rule in pursuit of this
story, starting with the prohibition on reporting things we can’t
confirm. ...

We’ve become sides-choosers, obliterating the concept of the press as an
independent institution whose primary role is sorting fact and fiction.

Failed Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke hopes to win something by giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens
I think he win another failure.
Sí, I do think so.
Left-wing scam artist set up fake political action committees for Bernie, Beto and kept the dough for himself
California con man set up bogus websites for Bernie Sanders, Beto O'Rourke to defraud donors, prosecutors say:
A notorious California con man has been charged with
defrauding donors out of more than $250,000 sent to sham political
groups and websites for Beto O'Rourke, Bernie Sanders and other
prominent Democrats, prosecutors said Tuesday. ... The court papers say that nearly all of the more than 1,000
donations to the scam PACs and websites were in fact pocketed by Dupont.
47-year-old Italian citizen of Senegalese origin torches school bus, tries to kill kids in retaliation against Matteo Salvini
Driver hijacks, sets ablaze school bus in Italy, children flee unharmed:
An unnamed girl was also quoted as saying that Sy blamed deputy prime
ministers Matteo Salvini and Luigi Di Maio for the deaths of African
migrants at sea.
As of June 2018 over 1 million illegal aliens have final deportation orders but they're still here
The unstated answer is incompetence and opposition at the highest levels of government.
Italy's Matteo Salvini actually does the job Donald Trump only talks about doing
Spell check to aisle seven.
Trump is catching 'em alright, and releasing them into the USA at a rate of 1,337 per day for the last three months
They are storming the border because they know Trump is all talk, no action, and incompetent. By signing the funding bill to end the shutdown he actually signed a bill which reduced facility space to hold detainees, meaning he has to release more than before by law.
He's his own worst enemy and has made the problem worse.
John DeStefano, in charge of Trump's 4,000 personnel appointments in 2017, was John Boehner aide
White House personnel official described Trump GOP nomination as 'end of the world':
Fear about a bias toward establishment picks emerged in 2017, when
Trump selected DeStefano to lead the PPO. He had worked as an aide to
former House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, before leading Data Trust.
Eyebrows raised with appointees with views at odds with some of Trump’s,
such as former national security adviser H.R. McMaster, former foreign
policy adviser Dina Powell, and Venezuela envoy Elliott Abrams. ...
A former White House official said DeStefano, 39, set the tone for
the PPO with an “us versus them” mentality, often referring to Trump
backers as “the MAGA people.” ...
Trump is said to have grown angry with DeStefano at times, including
upon finding that a National Security Council official, Jordan Kelly,
had not been dismissed from her role as a cyber expert more than a year
after he requested it, according to a source.
