White House Distances Itself From Disinformation Governance Board
That Joe Biden, he's such a leader. He promised us that he'd always take responsibility and would never pass the buck or put off blame to others.
White House says DHS disinformation board 'never met,' denies involvement in pauseOutside forces? RUSSIANS?!
Karine Jean-Pierre said the board faced 'mischaracterizations from outside forces'
The White House denied Wednesday that it had a role in the pause of the Department of Homeland Security's Disinformation Governance Board and claimed that the board "never convened" amid "mischaracterizations from outside forces." "The board has never convened," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters. "Yes, the board is pausing in the sense that it will not convene while former Secretary [Michael] Chertoff and former Deputy AG [Jamie] Gorelick do their assessment, but the department's work across several administrations to address disinformation that threatens the security of our country is critical and that will indeed continue." Jean-Pierre denied that the White House had any role in the pause of the process and insisted that "neither Nina Jankowicz, nor the board, have anything to do with the censorship or removing content from anywhere."As I said, this is a lie. Sagar Enjeti of Morning Rises used to work for the Pentagon, and described how the "best practices" system works: The government creates the alleged "best practices," then sends them off to the industries they control, who must adopt them if they wish to continue being in good government favor. So this board would create "best practices" for censoring "disinformation" and then tell social media monopolies -- more dependent than most other companies on government good-will to not be broken up or regulated by government -- how and what to censor. As usual, the Moderate, Centrist President Who Would Bring Honor Back to the Oval Office and Restore Our Norms, as promised to us by the virtuous, courageous Truth-Tellers of NeverTrump, is brazenly lying.
Yes, that's why you appointed a flakey Theater Kid whose entire resume is about censoring her political enemies to head the Ministry of Truth. Speaking of: The ridiculous leftist propagandist defending Taylor Lorenz for her disgraceful defense of the Ministry of Truth -- and her attacks on Americans for criticizing the government's attempt to establish MiniTru -- claim that at least she should be praised for having gotten the "scoop" of MiniTru being put "on pause." Leftist propagandist Dave Wiegel, for example, says if you don't like Lorenz's scoop, get your own scoop and write your own propaganda. Strange flex from a "journalist" who's supposed to be all about informing the public, but okay.
Instead, Jean-Pierre said Jankowicz's position on the board was to provide information on how to combat disinformation and reiterated that the board's mission was "never about censorship, policing speech, or removing content from anywhere."
If people don't like the way @TaylorLorenz frames a story, they could scoop her. Easier said than done. https://t.co/iE7ZSitfog

@daveweigel, she got the "scoop" because she's BFFs with Nina Jankowicz. The entire article is a PR piece for Nina leaving out inconvenient facts and w/o mentioning the clear conflict of interest. https://t.co/xOqaIuGiWT

In all likelihood, Lorenz didn't have to work too hard for this scoop. In all likelihood, she was given the scoop by Jankowicz -- because, as it turns out, Nina Jankowicz is quite the Super-Fan of Taylor Lorenz, and therefore would have trusted Taylor Lorenz to give her just the sort of coverage she wanted. The sort of spin that Jankowicz herself offered Lorenz in Lorenz's time of need -- that no woman on the internet should ever be criticized, and if they are criticized, it's just right-wing misogynist trolls (possibly hired by RUSSIA) attacking women in order to silence them!
Disgusting; Glenn Greenwald's attack on @TaylorLorenz fueled a Tucker Carlson monologue last night.

Online harassment against women is real, it is insidious, and it has offline effects.

Indeed, Jankowicz has a very long history of defending Lorenz and expressing solidarity for the trauma Lorenz suffers when her work is criticized. That's almost certainly where Lorenz got her version of events and seems like it should be disclosed when Lorenz defends Jankowicz. pic.twitter.com/R49NHCQ3RZ
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) May 18, 2022
As Greenwald says -- strange that Lorenz would not mention this! Well, not strange at all, because Lorenz is an extremely dishonest person, and if she noted that Jankowicz had a long history of smearing Lorenz's critics, it might make Lorenz's smearing of Jankowicz's critics look exactly like what it was -- a return of a favor by a fellow leftwing feminist in the same political guild. Greenwald also notes that Lorenz deliberately omits mention of the fact that the left -- the real left, not the neoliberal "shitlib" left that controls the media -- was just as aggressively opposed to Jankowicz and the Ministry of Truth as the convenient right-wing scapegoats were:
The other bizarre aspect of the Nina-Jankowicz/@TaylorLorenz saga: Taylor depicts this poor, marginalized DHS official as the victim of "right-wing" disinformation, when the most devastating investigative piece on her was this one last week in @TheNation:https://t.co/kkDOmQ3dOg

Late last month, the Joe Biden administration publicly confirmed that a "Disinformation Governing Board" working group had been created within the Department of Homeland Security. The news prompted a flood of concern about the impact of such an Orwellian organ on America. But there's no need to engage in hypotheticals to understand the dangers. One has to only consider the past of Nina Jankowicz, the head of the new disinformation board. Jankowicz's experience as a disinformation warrior includes her work with StopFake, a US government-funded "anti-disinformation" organization founded in March 2014 and lauded as a model of how to combat Kremlin lies. Four years later, StopFake began aggressively whitewashing two Ukrainian neo-Nazi groups with a long track record of violence, including war crimes. Today, StopFake is an official Facebook fact-checking partner, which gives it the power to censor news, while Jankowicz is America's disinformation czar. If the Biden administration is serious about combating threats such as white supremacy, perhaps it should first reflect on the old Roman question: Who will guard the guardians? StopFake was founded right after Ukraine's 2014 Maidan uprising ousted the country's president and swept a new, US-backed government into power. Formed by professors and students from the Kyiv Mohyla Journalism School, StopFake presented itself as a plucky, grassroots group wielding hard facts and semi-permanent smirks as it shredded Russian propaganda. It gained notoriety by producing slick videos hosted by dynamic disinformation warriors debunking the Moscow lies of the day. Western reporters--and checkbooks--were paying attention. Shortly after its creation, StopFake began receiving funding from Western governments, including the National Endowment for Democracy--an organization mainly funded by the US Congress--and the British embassy in Ukraine. It was also supported by George Soros's Open Society Foundation. (StopFake has run numerous episodes that cover Soros but fail to disclose this potential conflict of interest--a violation of basic tenets of journalism.) Among StopFake's hosts was Jankowicz, a graduate of Bryn Mawr and the Georgetown School of Foreign Service who was already part of the burgeoning disinformation warrior industry while in Ukraine as a Fulbright Clinton Public Policy Fellow. On January 29, 2017, she hosted StopFake Episode 117, whose lead story dealt with a perennial obsession of Russian propaganda: Ukraine's volunteer battalions.Jankowicz's mission: Praise the Citizen Militias as the flower of Ukranian manhood. And "debunk" as Russian propaganda those pesky claims that these units were involved in war crimes and that one of them was even an openly Nazi unit.
This is what made Jankowicz an "internationally renown" disinformation specialist: running George Soros' own disinformation unit. At any rate, The Nation is plainly not a magazine of "right-wing trolls." Jimmy Dore also makes that same point, that the "shitlibs" don't want to admit that both the right and the left opposed the Ministry of Truth because it upsets their eternal narrative:
While Janowicz extolled the battalions, an on-screen graphic displayed patches of four paramilitaries: Aidar, Dnipro-1, Donbas, and Azov. All four have a documented record of war crimes, while Azov is an outright neo-Nazi group. On September 10, 2014, three years before Jankowicz's warm portrayal of volunteer battalions, Newsweek ran an article titled "Ukrainian Nationalist Volunteers Committing 'ISIS-style' War Crimes." The story, which covered a report by Amnesty International, featured Aidar, one of the battalions lauded in Jankowicz's segment. According to Amnesty, Aidar fighters amassed a record of "widespread abuses," ranging from kidnapping and torture to "possible executions." Three months later, Amnesty issued an urgent report about Aidar and Dnipro-1--another paramilitary featured in Jankowicz's segment--blocking food from eastern Ukrainian towns and villages. "Using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is a war crime," Amnesty stated. (Of course, almost every war crime charged against one side in this conflict has also been charged against the other; Russia has reportedly recently been blocking food in its siege of Mariupol.) The Donbas Battalion--the third paramilitary in Jankowicz's segment--is another unit notorious for torture, as documented by the UN, among others. The fourth group, Azov, not only has its own history of war crimes, but is avowedly neo-Nazi; indeed, the Azov patch shown in Jankowicz's video has a stylized Wolfsangel (the "N" with the sword)--a popular white supremacist rune used by groups like Aryan Nations. Azov--which is now a premier hub of transnational white supremacy--has been extensively covered by Western media outlets, including by me in The Nation. Its nature was well known by the time of Jankowicz's 2017 StopFake video. (In a 2020 book, Jankowicz briefly acknowledged Azov is a "far-right group," but immediately pivoted to portraying them as victims of a Russian hoax.) During Jankowicz's tenure with StopFake (her last known episode aired May 21, 2017), the disinformation site continued being touted as a pioneer in combating Russian propaganda. In March 2017, a fawning Politico story heralded StopFake as the "grand wizards" of the anti-fake news ecosystem. It was an ironically prophetic description, given that Jankowicz's misleading "nothing to see here" report about the battalions turned out to be a mere fraction of what StopFake has done for Ukraine's far right. By 2018, StopFake started defending C14, a neo-Nazi gang that conducted horrific pogroms of Ukraine's Roma. After media outlet Hromadske described C14 as neo-Nazi, one of StopFake's founders tweeted "for Hromadske, C14 is 'neo-Nazi,' in reality one of them--Oleksandr Voitko--is a war veteran and before going to the war--alum and faculty at @MohylaJSchool, journalist at Foreign news desk at Channel 5. Now also active participant of war veterans grass-root organization," as if the fact that the gang has a veteran somehow precludes it from being neo-Nazi.
In 2020, StopFake defended C14 in a press release. The same year, news broke that C14 was aiding Kyiv police in enforcing Covid quarantine measures; StopFake labeled this fake news, denying C14 is far-right, describing it as a "community organization" instead, and citing C14's own denial of carrying out anti-Roma pogroms as "evidence" of its innocence.

I don't know what to make of that, but it is interesting. It could just be evidence showing us where the monied interests were pouring their money four years ago. Soros was pouring his money into Ukraine, therefore, there were a lot of phoney-baloney makework jobs for the would-be entrants into the Ruling Class servicing the Ukraine accounts. And we'll be seeing a lot of Soros-aligned people with Urkraine on their resumes.

Just not a government worth going into WW3 for and also one we shouldn't be sending $40 billion in "aid" that will just somehow go back into these Deep State operators pockets.

I think the Orwellian thought crime ministry skeeved out a lot of people, the majority of the country, and probably more than a few people in power. The news is trying to make this some kind of "Ultra MAGA pounces" thing but the Biden Administration simply does not care what the right thinks or says about anything. They do not make or change policy based on MAGA.
By the way, you notice the aren't using "Ultra MAGA" any more? That was such a strategic blunder.

During Jankowicz's tenure with StopFake (her last known episode aired May 21, 2017), the disinformation site continued being touted as a pioneer in combating Russian propaganda. In March 2017, a fawning Politico story heralded StopFake as the "grand wizards" of the anti-fake news ecosystem. It was an ironically prophetic description, given that Jankowicz's misleading "nothing to see here" report about the battalions turned out to be a mere fraction of what StopFake has done for Ukraine's far right.

The "more to the story" is that they got a lot of unexpected blow-back in an election year for creating an Orwellian sub-agency who's name and mission both sound like Orwell and Rand had an illegitimate love child who was then put in charge of American government.
It was a stupid idea and they have to walk it back. The sub-agency itself is a bad idea. The person they chose to lead it was a bad idea. The name was a bad idea. They stepped on their dicks. This is probably because the DoJ came sniffing around to do the same things. The DHS wants this to be their exclusive domain.
Now, though, "it's over." They'll do what they should have done in the first place: make this an informal power play and do the same stuff anyway.

While you're back in the states thinking good grades and hard work counts. But they've been handed a resume that you'll never match.

Meritocratic systems devolve into stuff like this over time, where the current people at the top engage in rampant nepotism. The Chinese examination system for example.

WION and it's, I think sister group, Gravitas, are Indian, dot not feather, owned news services. They have been all over the Sri Lanka story and cover China from an Indian perspective. They're a little too much on the Green New Deal/Climate crisis for my tastes. I don't believe they've mentioned for example that India is doubling its coal powered electricity generation. Their coverage of Pakistan has a certain level of misgivings. They also are the source about India banning wheat exports. India being the second largest wheat producing nation.

Yeah it *could* be an election year thing.
Since the SC "leak" (maybe *that* was the monkey in the wrench), Democrats have been pushing hard on the "Republicans want to take your freedomz" Narrative.

>>I don't know what to make of that, but it is interesting. It could just be an example showing us where the monied interests are pouring their money. Soros was pouring his money into Ukraine, therefore, there were a lot of phoney-baloney makework jobs for the would-be entrants into the Ruling Class servicing the Ukraine accounts.
Soros was one of the prime backers of the Maidan coup in league with the US State Dept and CIA among others including Joe Biden and John McCain. Soros also has deep ties to the WEF.
This model has been used before and since to topple governments we don't like and often aligned with Russia and install governments we can control and in Ukraine that was Petro Poreshenko and now Zelensky. It's not a coincidence that Zelensky has been outlawing unfriendly media and political parties and has aligned himself with the WEF. He claims his role model is Trudeau and Trudeau's Deputy PM Chrystia Feeland is the granddaughter of a former Ukrainian government official who helped write the modern Ukrainian governing documents and was a neo-Nazi himself.
There are no more conspiracy theories. Just conspiracies.

The Associated Press' "fact check" also had nothing to do with Monkey Island - it appears that the PolitiFact brain trust just saw the word "monkeys" in the headline and assumed they were addressing the same claim.

And backing away from the Disinfo Board is another strategic blunder, maybe even a worse one. Why? Because first of all, no one on our side is going to believe them, we know they were all in on the idea. It's idiotic to even suggest they weren't.
But worse than that will be the effect it has on the Left, especially the True Believers - they now know that the Biden admin will stab them in the back and claim they have no involvement with them at the drop of a hat. Do you think they're going to be fired up about Working Hard for Biden after they're treated like this? Nope, they're going to just walk away. They won't change their political beliefs, but they WILL just drop out of the game.

134 Little reported and discussed is this charming little bit of news.
Apparently congress created a court system for the SEC to handle financial cases with a new law. The courts just threw that out, stating the quite obvious fact that courts are a separate branch of government and cannot at any level or for any reason be controlled by and run by the executive.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 20, 2022 01:44 PM (KZzsI)
This is very significant - it's the first step by the regular order Judicial system to start reclaiming power from the Administrative Law Judges who have been taking over. Who are arms of the Bureaucracy.

Russia went to war.
Biden put sanctions in place that didn't hurt the Russians at all but put the brakes on all of the momentum from Trump's stock market, gave us empty shelves and food shortages, and we're at $5+ gas. And we're just getting started.
Russia defeated us without firing a shot.

Dave Weigel praising Taylor Lorenz's "journalism" is ridiculous when we all know it consisted of simply accepting a phone call from her BFF Nina Jankowicz. Which is what most of DC journalism (maybe most of all journalism) consists of these days.
The traditional notion of the hard-nosed reporter who has to hunt down and coax reluctant sources to spill the beans is nearly defunct. Instead the incestuous small world of American politics and media (in which everyone is either married to or went to school with each other) makes the good ol' boy network of old look like a rigorously competitive meritocracy. And the revolving door between politics, media and business is spinning faster than ever before.
Most of the so-called "scoops" during the Trump years were merely government insiders who hated him calling up their reporter buddies who were all-too-happy to transcribe their lies without any vetting or attribution. The Democrats can always count on their pals in the media to spread their B.S., they're all in one big happy club.

jim (in Kalifornia): "Most 'news' on the airwaves IS opinion."
So very true and not in the obvious sense.
Think about the two foundations of the MFM: Sins of Commission and Sins of Omission. The former is so well known as to not be noted anymore. But the latter is that which has been subversively abused and remains concealed. And that is the very editorial operation that, on its face, is opinion. It's a conscious bias (opinion) that seeps into the consumers' unconsciousness because of its absence. The lack of news presented is an opinion as much as the news that's biased in its narrative. So "news" is utterly opinion in today's MFM.

I think its mostly the latter, acting out as the former. They believe these are brilliant moves for the FUTURE and UTOPIA that they will bring about, with some minor temporary suffering for the poors before everything is wonderful and food is free.

Posted by: blake - semi lurker in marginal standing (5pTK/) at May 20, 2022 01:51 PM (5pTK/)
Chances are the Ruble will be Gold backed and not exportable. To participate in the Russian economy means having to buy Rubles from the Central bank and then change back to some other currency to export profits instead of goods.
It was explained as internal and external currencies with the internal currency being held back from being fiat by being linked to gold, as long as that goes.
The problem with being the only currency convertable to gold is that everyone wants to buy your gold and export it

Soros was pouring his money into Ukraine, therefore, there were a lot of phoney-baloney makework jobs for the would-be entrants into the Ruling Class servicing the Ukraine accounts. And we'll be seeing a lot of Soros-aligned people with Urkraine on their resumes.
Nina was also part of the Integrity Initiative, which was leading the color revolution in the US during the 2020 election. They're the ones who put out a detailed paper about the three possible outcomes of the election -- all three of them where Trump loses, but in one he creates a fake "red tsunami" on election night that must be corrected/disproven in the days/weeks after the election.
So. . . was Nina part of the Ukraine color revolution the US IC ran there? Maybe she has extensive "misinformation" experience because she's been leading misinfo campaigns for he US color revolutions abroad?

And the Dems get to run in November on, "ending the war in Ukraine?"
So, basically all we're waiting on is the Treasury to stamp all the needed forms to fund the "peace."

Yes, the board is pausing in the sense that it will not convene while former Secretary [Michael] Chertoff and former Deputy AG [Jamie] Gorelick do their assessment, but the department's work across several administrations to address disinformation that threatens the security of our country is critical and that will indeed continue.

Now, why would you have a former federal judge and attorney general do this assessment?
If I weren't so young and was more cynical - I might think that they would be assessing the board's activities with an eye toward its law enforcement role.
But that would be naughty. I'm sure they're just being super sure everything is right and tight, legal-wise. Top Men.

What do you all make of the notion that, as soon as the checks from the $40 billion clear the accounts of all the necessary Ukraine officials who needed paid, a "peace agreement" will be announced?

The funny part? That $40B is going to pay for THEIR deep state. It's going for pensions and such for their government employees.

Probably, but I doubt they were seriously pursuing it. When CISA published their "Mis, Dis-, Mal-information" so-called standards and the DHS adopted them, though, this became obvious. My guess is that they've only been working on it in earnest for a few months.

Psaki used to answer any question about the latest, outrageous abuse by the Biden Administration with prefaces about "as we've always been doing for many administrations" etc.
They're doing the same thing at DHS now, how "we've always been fighting disinformation" etc as to imply that there's no difference between building a cyber wall against a bank hackers and issuing "guidance" to social media on political stories.
They all strike me like Claire Quilty in the movie version of Lolita: who as a pornographer keeps explaining that he's just doing "normal things that normal people do.. you know, normally...."

Input inflation hits consumer prices usually 1-2 quarters from when it occurs. Fuel is a bit faster than a lot of other categories, but this $5+ diesel won't be reflected in prices for another month or so, probably.

companies may have no choice but to move aggressively raising prices. They need to make enough money on the stuff in the store to pay for the next shipment, don't they?

This is why fuel usually reflects faster than, say, steel. But yeah. If no truckers will take the load, they have to raise the bid and that will be reflected in prices. For outfits that have contracts, the trucking firms are eating. For the big guys like Wal-Mart that have their own fleets, they're hedged (like airlines are) and so the price movement is slower and it hits a bit later.

I'd like to know who in the administration gave the nod to setup the disinfo board in the first place. I'm sure the concept had been bouncing around since day 1, but I think the potential loss of Twitter as an unofficial MiniTru pushed the junta to act before they were ready.
As to Scary Poppins... I'd like to know who suggested putting that fruitbat in charge.
I'm betting on both counts here it was some mid-level White House functionary with little administrative experience or common sense. But those types are now currently running the nation...

Combatting rising prices and continuing increases in the money supply would require interest rates that would sink the U.S. Government within a couple of months.
The size of the government debt is so large that even a nominal interest rate on it cannot be sustained.

They don't have near enough gold for that, nor do they have enough confident, trustworthy people/institutions to manage either the paper supply, the gold supply, or the movement and conversion of either.
Russia isn't just a failed state, they're a failed culture. They were disfunctional under the czars but morally suicided themselves under the Soviets. There is no recovering from that. They drank the koolaid one step further than the Chinese did (or the Vietnamese for that matter), and earlier, thus the disparate outcomes.

Online harassment against women is real, it is insidious, and it has offline effects.
I mean, she's not wrong. It happens, and in a way that men do not have to face. But the problem here is her idea of a solution. She figures there oughtta be a law, and government should be given more power to deal with it.
Its a social and cultural issue, its a moral issue, not a legal one. Being a jerk is a sin or a moral flaw, not a legal issue. You cannot, as they used to say, legislate morality -- in other words you cannot create a law that makes people better humans. Only a change of heart can do that. We need Jesus, not Moses.

I suspect this MiniTru kerfuffle is nothing more than a bureaucratic turf war. DHS wants to extend its reach into censorship. The people already performing this function don't want to give up their power. Chertoff and Gorelick have been designated to settle the dispute.

Its very hard to know the male/female harasser quotient online because a lot of women go by neutral names and images, and a lot of guys pretend to be women. But as a gut instinct I'd say yes, more men than women harassing if for no other reason than more men active online than women, at least in forums, etc.
Women tend to swarm: they and ten of their friends all yell at once. Men tend to do it solo.

"...four paramilitaries: Aidar, Dnipro-1, Donbas, and Azov. All four have a documented record of war crimes, while Azov is an outright neo-Nazi group."
Those war crimes weren't committed against the Ukrainian speaking folks in Kiev, they were targeting the Russian speaking population in Eastern Ukraine. The last free and fair (Jimmy Carter Certified) election in Ukraine was in 2010, when Viktor Yanukovych was elected. Even though Obama pledged to support whoever won, the CIA didn't care for the pro-Moscow Yanukovych. They backed a coup in 2013 and then sent the Nazis in to eastern Ukraine to brutally put down dissention in the areas that wanted to have independence. Of course, the MSM and that includes FOX never explains the history or demographic makeup of Ukraine, so the uninformed think that Ukraine is all EU loving peasants cowering at the thought of being ruled by the evil Putin. Fucking idiots.

2) The fact that some of the people fighting for Ukraine are NAZIs should not end the discussion all by itself. And, before the modern left you could actually have a nuanced discussion about the relative merits of two deeply imperfect sides.
But the left has reduced discussions to NAZIs = punch so...reap the wind assholes.

Funny how girrrl slay feminists can't seem to defend themselves online without getting a stronk man with a gun involved (meaning, passing a law that will be enforced by government men with guns).
As for the offline effects, if you're feeling physically threatened, being armed is a great way to be empowered and self-sufficient.

And that's the problem, isn't it?
Yes, this should be a big deal. Alas, almost nothing to nothing will be done about it. So the real story gets exposed. BFD. The MFM is burying it; the narrative will be "Move On/Old News"; the swing-voting public will mostly yawn; and the guilty will transition into another incestuous career opportunity at our expense.
There's just no way to be optimistic that anything tangible and lasting will come of this. A historical crime - essentially a coup - transpired and redirected an entire nation's trajectory nevermind the ethical underpinnings that have been trampled.
Cynicism will be the real victor here.

You don't think anything will come of it. I get it. But then again most didn't think it would ever get this far but here we are. Might as well see where it goes.

386 The Leftists have always hated the middle class. They want two groups, the elitists with all the money and power and the poor. The middle class gets uppity and wants rights and shit when not scrambling for food. Inflation is their current hammer.

Marx's bourgeoisie are the rich. Petit bourgeoisie (small business owner) starts to get down to our concept of middle class, but is still kind of higher than what we think of.
Marx never expected factory workers to have a pretty decent standard of living.

Considering that one who have to be a complete fool to not see those people for who they are, and obviously there are many millions of fools running around, I don't consider any of them to be charlatans.

Funny how girrrl slay feminists can't seem to defend themselves online without getting a stronk man with a gun involved (meaning, passing a law that will be enforced by government men with guns).
Its almost as if they can only be strong and fierce and a queen if everyone else is held by the arms at gun point by government. I mean, I could kick Jack Reacher's ass if he was completely restrained and couldn't fight back, that doesn't make me a tough guy.

They did not disband anything. The program is there, it's just running silent, and deep. Like a nuclear sub, Captain Jank in command. And it has cut off all comms with HQ. It's rogue.

A historical crime - essentially a coup - transpired and redirected an entire nation's trajectory nevermind the ethical underpinnings that have been trampled.
Cynicism will be the real victor here.

We should be so lucky. No the victor will be Fascist Totalitarian gvt running the US. Delusional idiots who think they can control everything, can't, will eventually come to WWIII. And then the victor? Cockroaches or something like that.

All that needs to happen is for Trump to tweet out "Hillary Knew and Approved Russian Hoax!" and then get banned - and then everyone will know because the MFM can't help putting their hands into that Trumpian flame.
