US Politics March 2019: “I can’t say I’m happy. I can’t say I’m thrilled”

truth and reconciliation defenestration

Did we catch this? From this weekend's On the Media:

Mexican officials and U.S. Customs and Border Protection are using a secret database to target journalists and advocates at the southern border. This week, On the Media speaks with a reporter on the list who was detained for questioning by Mexican authorities. ...1. Mari Payton [@MariNBCSD], reporter at NBC 7 in San Diego, and Kitra Cahana, freelance photojournalist, on the secret government database of immigration reporters and advocates.

I love our new sheriff so much

if it ends up being Trump v Bernie in the general gonna love the media's wailing and hand-wringing over the ascendant "anti-semitic" left's criticism of Israel being somehow worse than Trump's out n proud "Jews will not replace us" neo nazis & groyper gang.

The fact that Bernie Sanders is Jewish will make absolutely no difference.

republicans being terrible are too dog bites man an angle

i assume some sort of regularly-scheduled satanic rite was involved.

Calvinism + capitalism = monsters like these soulless ghouls

good morning!

that erik prince clip is so deeply satisfying

yeah it really is. but then i think about being alive in a time when half of America's voting public is like "yep, clearly the transcript got it wrong nothing to see here #MAGA" and it's pretty deflating

Why is Bibi not in prison yet, I haven’t been keeping up with that story

I believe the NYT suggested some think he is "indispensible" to Israel

...why are you shouting at yourself?

ref to idiot thread

That was already posted twice in the Venezuela thread.

🔥Mueller has “completed his report. It is said to recommend indicting 3 of @realDonaldTrump’s children—Don Jr, Ivanka & Eric—as well as Jared Kushner...Mueller wants Trump himself to be indicted. Barr is said to oppose this.”

Hence, the delay...🧐https://t.co/7Htd7mOhJS

what is spectator.us

The Spectator is a right wing UK magazine.

... don't know if they're connected.

there's a 'go to spectator uk' link at the top of the page which leads to the right-wing uk magazine, so i assume they must be?

The columnist had predicted — in a piece published earlier this week in The Spectator — that Mueller would submit his report in an official capacity on Friday, March 8. But that did not happen. Cockburn then went back to his sources to find out why his earlier prediction was wrong. That is when he was told by his sources that the report had been scheduled for a March 8 delivery, but the disagreement between Mueller and Barr over an indictment caused the announcement to be postponed.

see i'm still right

I thought that guy who predicted the rapture died

At a recent round table meeting of business executives, & long after formally introducing Tim Cook of Apple, I quickly referred to Tim + Apple as Tim/Apple as an easy way to save time & words. The Fake News was disparagingly all over this, & it became yet another bad Trump story!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 11, 2019

but he just said yesterday that he actually said "Tim Cook Apple"

yeah but that's a complete sentence. no one really believes he's spoken one of those.

this happened on wednesday - good to know trump's definitely not been stewing on it for nearly a week before taking to twitter to explain that his brain isn't melting, actually, how dare u

Holy shit, he used a big word almost correctly.

By which I mean "recent."

I know it shouldn't be shocking to see the President of the United States get himself caught up in such an obvious and pointless lie, and yet here we are. it's like I'm not fully desensitized yet

not to mention the idea of Donald Trump trying to save "time & words"

when you spend 2+ hours humping the flag and screaming about socialism to a room full of mutants you gotta make up that time on the back end.

Is there like a filter I can use to have every presidential utterance sent directly to my spam folder?

I mean, give me a heads up if he announces that he's sent the missiles a-flying but I'm otherwise just done being reminded of his blighted existence.

DONALD TRUMP ON MARCH 12, 2019: "actually I said tim cuck apple"

The American public could take a page from the book of Trump's parents re: neglecting the living fuck out of him.

yeah, I don't think I recall anything GWB said or did in the final year he was in office. I wish I could tune Trump out like that.

At least GWB was smart enough the stfu during the financial crisis.
