Robert Mueller: Into the Swamp by Nancy Ohanianby Skip KaltenheuserIf you haven’t seen it, the long version of Matt Taibbi’s critique of journalism over Russia-gate, LOADED with supportive sub-links, is worth your time as an exercise in grappling with media herd instinct and the folly of putting our grand papers of record at the head of the herd.
Collusion by Nancy OhanianTuesday night it leaked out that Attorney General Bill Barr and Alex Azar, Secretary of Health and Human Services both opposed Trump's decision to invalidate the Affordable Care Act, kicking over 20 million Americans off healthcare and shit-canning popular provisions like protections for people wit
Last month, Chuck Todd's team at NBC News posed 10 questions that they were looking for Mueller to answer.
I admit I watch a lot of Maddow and pretty much embrace all the Russian conspiracy stuff she's constantly peddling. But I never needed her to tell me that Trump's is the swampiest presidency since Warren G. Harding's. Maybe Ulysses S. Grant's? Except in Trump's case, it's clearly the man at the top who's the most corrupt of all. And one thing that I never doubted for a second is that Trump takes bribes-- from any and all sources... including from abroad, a major no-no.
by NoahFor today, Tuesday 2/26, a reminder of two Tuesday attacks on The United States Of America; one attack was the product of Saudi state-sponsored terrorism. The other attack was the product of Russian intelligence efforts. Now, both governments are enjoying an "extra special relationship" with the Trump Crime Family and its loyal supporters and accomplices in the Republican Party.
by NoahWe shouldn't be at all surprised that $enator Lindsey Graham has gone completely over to the dark side. He's a Republican. He's from South Carolina. He's got his anti-America "heritage" to protect. If he was alive during the Civil War, we know right where he'd be standing. If it was the 1770s, he'd have his lips firmly attached to crazy King George's ass.
Today's NY Times exposé by Mark Mazzetti, Maggie Haberman, Nicholas Fandos and Michael Schmidt would be the most shocking thing to read about a White House occupant at any time in history... before 2016. Intimidation, Pressure and Humiliation: Inside Trump’s Two-Year War on the Investigations Encircling Him reads like a crime thriller or a spy thriller. It's way too long for Trump to read or to even have it read to him. Will someone in the White House do a coloring book version?
Yesterday's big NY Times book review was Dwight Garner's look at The Threat by Andrew McCabe. Fox News has a very different perspective on the book and we'll get to that in a moment.
On KABC this morning, Ann Coulter addressed the massive morning drive audience about her former hero, Donald Trump, urging them to "Forget the fact that he's digging his own grave. The only national emergency is that our president is an idiot." We don't all agree why, but I think that a good 70% of the country would agree. So much has happened since she wrote In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome! in 2016. Earlier this morning someone asked Trump how much influence she's had over his policy decisions. "Ann Coulter," he babbled, "I don’t know her. I hardly know her.
