WaPo Gives Bill Barr Platform to Attack Joe Biden without Mentioning Barr's Role in Framing Biden - emptywheel
If you're going to make a big deal about Bill Barr supporting Trump in this year's election, at least mention that the side channel Barr set up for Russian disinformation on Hunter Biden in 2020 ended up framing Joe Biden.

The reason #MoscowMike and #VelveetaVoldemoort want a law preventing non-citizens from voting is because of the “six million illegals” who voted against Trump in the 2016 election, which is why he lost the popular vote.
The #TrumpCult has been fed so many lies, for soooo long, they are lost…

Apropos “Be Best”: Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania’s legal immigration papers. How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities, despite her blatant lie under oath about college degrees?

So, I got a thank you note from the Editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer yesterday. He apologized for his late reply(!) but he's received almost 3000 messages! He also linked me to his latest letter. I'm officially a Chris Quinn fan girl.

PS Annie @PSAnnieThis is the email I just sent to Chris Quinn, editor of the Plain Dealer.11:00 PM - Mar 30, 2024![Good Evening Mr. Quinn,
I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your "Letter from the Editor" today. So much so, that I am now a new subscriber. I don't live in Cleveland or even in the US. However, in the past 8 years, I have consciously chosen to subscribe to publications that are doing their best to uphold the values of ethical, honest journalism in a very difficult media environment. I believe your
organization is one of those publications so l'm thanking you the only way I know how. Please keep up the good work!]()

“My plan is growing the economy from the middle out and the bottom up, investing in all Americans, and giving the middle class a fair shot,” Biden said in response to the new jobs report”.

April 5, 2024 - by Heather Cox Richardson
Today offered yet more evidence that Biden’s rejection of the Republicans’ supply-side economics in favor of investing in ordinary Americans is paying off with high growth, low unemployment, and strong wages. Today’s jobs report from the U.S. Department of Labor for the month of March showed higher ..

Hey, Chubby, tell us what it’s collateralized by. Be specific.

Tomi T Ahonen To Be The Assassinator @tomiahonenAnd now we have some Chubby damage control
The insurance clowns 'Chubb' are in damage-control mode, as their investors are angry Chubb underwrote that bond to Trump. Chubb proclaims they are 'fully collateralized' and here's to hoping that survives Trump bankruptcy
If not, sue Chubb management!03:02 PM - Mar 13, 2024![Picture]()

GOP did a terrible job in this. Democrats were prepared and coordinated, getting everything on the record. GOP forgot the first rule - never ask a question of a witness that you don’t know the answer to.

Sweden is NOT to be trifled with. Despite their neutral nature, previously. And having a population of only 10.42 million people, Sweden has an extremely advanced military. Similar to the US, they are technically far superior to Russia in every way except troop numbers.

Ni Ni La Peanut @ZoeOeoZThis is a REALLY big deal. I know from my Swedish friends it has everything to do with Russia in Ukraine. Also, Russia has been illegally trespassing in Swedish territory with their Air Force and Navy much more frequently over the past decade.01:36 PM - Mar 07, 2024

The fact that there are 19 people included in the indictment is important.
This isn’t just a Trump problem.
It’s a Republican problem.
We need to get past the idea that Trump’s departure from the political stage would end our current political crisis.

The Supreme Court said only Congress can disqualify an insurrectionist.
Ok.
But what if I told you Congress has already found, BY MAJORITIES IN BOTH HOUSES, that Trump "incited an insurrection."
Because it's true.

This broke me:
“The leading cause of death for pregnant women is homicide, most often by an abusive partner with a gun. And Texas is forcing victims to stay pregnant, while making it easier for abusers to get guns.“

Republican politicians have become increasingly racist since late 70s (see Gingrich and Reagan), now as bad as 100 yrs ago, but Trump was even more racist than the avg Republican voter.
Violent crime has dropped significantly in the Biden era.
But who cares about facts…

Hamas planned the most horrific assault on humans since WWII, videoing Mengele-style tortures, sending vids to families back in Israel.
They wanted a horrific overreaction from Netanyahu.
Hamas may insure all Gazans are killed, but destroy Israel’s validity in the process.
