By the way, this is the "journalist" who did the Trump "interview" for Axios.  I think people need to get reacquainted with the 14th Amendment.

You'll be shocked to hear that the AP was running Trump's lies (about the US being the only country to have citizenship) as truth until they were called out. 

 

If this really does "change the narrative" and helps Republicans keep Congress (although given all the voter suppression and vote rigging that may already be an absolute), then it just shows how far gone we are as a country.

The Axios guy was getting roasted. He's furiously backpedaling on Twitter.

 

I don't think it will change the narrative, but it's still a vile stunt.

I guess it's not surprising that they tried to come for Mueller.

Could someone explain to me a little more clearly what this means?  

 

 

This isn't going to happen. That's the real answer. However, even if it did (which it won't) it would likely apply only to babies being born now to people who are undocumented. You're stuck here in either case. 🙂

Did I miss something (again)?  Who is "they," and what did they attempt to do to my baby daddy, Robert Mueller?

Things are getting worse by the day.  You can feel it happening.  The open racism is just appalling. I can only hope that it abates a bit after the midterms.

This thread moves at a furious pace these days but I posted this tweet this morning.  I can't see the original tweet but if you click the link, it'll probably take you to the original post where the reporter's tweet is embedded. 

 

tldr: Right wing rags tried to offer money to women to mock up a #MeToo case against Mueller and got outed.

 

Meanwhile:

 

 

New: Pittsburgh Mayor, Pittsburgh County Exec, Senate Majority Leader McConnell, House Speaker Ryan, Senate Minority Schumer, and House Minority Leader Pelosi all tell CNN they have declined WH invite to join Pres Trump in Pittsburgh today.

Why does this not surprise me at all?  Ugh!

 

Thanks, DD and Vee, for catching me up!

People are also talking about this HRC tweet from two years ago.  What a bizarre, surreal situation this country has found itself in.

 

FACT: She warned us.

Bizarre, surreal and incredibly messy 'Merica.

 

13 days ago I received this tip alleging an attempt to pay off women to make up accusations of sexual misconduct against Special Counsel Bob Mueller. Other reporters received the same email. Now the Special Counsel's office is telling us they've referred the matter to the FBI pic.twitter.com/oqh4Fnel5u

This started w/ a person claiming to be 'Lorraine' emailing that 'she' worked with Mueller at a law firm in 1974. The law firm she named, Pillsbury, says no Lorraine worked in its S.F. office with Mueller in the 1970's. That's a fact. The rest seems fishier than a tuna sandwich.

I shouldn't be surprised, but unbelievably I still am. I was sufficiently naive to think that no-one would stoop that low. I obviously underestimated the depths people would sink to....

I won't make that mistake again......

I didn't know who this Jacob Wohl person was until today but it seems like he's in for a spot of trouble with the FBI.

 

New from me + @brandyzadrozny + @tom_winter:

A company called “Surefire Intelligence” has ties to this Mueller smear.

Jacob Wohl denied having ties to Surefire.

Surefire’s official phone number redirects to a voicemail box registered to Jacob's mom.https://t.co/aVPzVDjGR4

Absolutely wild.  All these GOP operatives who are trying to frame Mueller while simultaneously seeking to diminish the #MeToo movement.  The women were the ones who were approached by this man and they reported this.  So yes, do believe the women because they refused to perpetrate a fraud.

 

NEW: Another woman, @jentaub, was contacted on October 22 by a man claiming to work for Surefire Intelligence, who offered to pay her to discuss her "past encounters" with Mueller. (She's never met Mueller.) Story has been updated: https://t.co/D84d2d82Nl

Yes. I see people saying that white liberals are the only ones surprised by this, but I don't believe it.  I do think that other people have wrapped their heads around it faster because they've been here before in a sense. I find I just can't adjust to were we are.  It feels deeply unreal to me.  That so many people have fallen for it is incredible to me.
