I'm glad I stopped subscribing to cable like 8-9 years ago.  CNN is making basic cable look even more basic.

 

😕 I suppose nothing is unbelievable anymore.

 

Trump is really selling out the U.S. to the highest bidder.

An OFFICER IN THE COAST GUARD “is a domestic terrorist bent on committing acts dangerous to human life,” with white supremacist links, armaments, and a hit list that includes liberal minority politicians, according to prosecutors https://t.co/TBYHZPtS1i

^ Thank god he was caught.  I can only imagine how many close calls there are that we don't even hear about.

People will not pay as much attention to American mercenaries riding around with impunity in Haiti, carrying a truck full of automatic weapons as they have to Jussie Smollet.

Senator Richard Blumenthal said that the authorities did not even warn him that he was on the list.  He found out about it while watching the news!

JUST IN: Mark Harris, Republican candidate in the country's last undecided congressional election, now says a new election should be called; comes amid an ongoing public evidentiary hearing on voting irregularities.

Macready should be seated, rather than a new election, but that isn't likely to happen. They will have a new election, with a full court press from the media and the money men to get the Republican elected. And it will work.

This is mostly just getting coverage in right wing media for now but TPM isn't so I guess it is reliable enough. 

 

Ronan Farrow likely made a lot of enemies over the last few years (and I have to admit that I thought some of his Kavanaugh reporting was a bit sloppy) so I wonder if there will be more efforts to try to dig up dirt involving him.
