As they say in the song - "start spreadin' the news..."

Be on the lookout for key words and phrases that can and should be repeated. Words like “treason” and “traitor” and “collusion” and phrases like “aid and comfort to the enemy.” There are some good lines just upthread in The Liberal Lion’s post, just for one example. Lots of usable material just here on DU.

Repeat that stuff. Notice how, all of a sudden many reporters and show hosts are now using the words ”collusion” and “conspiracy” more openly and often? Notice how serious the talk is getting and the phrasing that’s becoming more common?

The table is now being set. No reason not to help it along!

PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT. Do it! Help it also whenever you can!
And if you haven’t yet connected with your local Indivisible group, DO THAT TOO!

I love Dan Rather!

I haven’t been part of that scene for years, but I take that menacing of Jim Acosta and, during the campaign, of Katy Tur, quite personally.

I never faced that when I was a field reporter. Thank God!

This!!!

DON’T COVER HIM ANYMORE!!!

DON’T pay him any attention. He craves attention. Lives off of it like a baby sucking milk out of Mama’s breast. DON’T feed the ego!!!

And he should stop attending those farcical "briefings."

They ALL should stop attending these sham bulkshit “briefings.” It’d be GREAT to see her sashay out to the podium for her next round of insults, lies, condescensions, and obfuscations - and find NOBODY there.

When that CNN reporter was singled out for punishment and barred from the next press event, they all should have boycotted.

They REALLY need to stand up and be defiant and NOT knuckle under to the bullshit for another nanosecond. Otherwise there are no consequences for this shit. And no reason not to keep punishing the press.

You do NOT reward or reinforce bad behavior!!! Any dedicated and responsible parent knows that.

All the more reason to FIGHT LIKE HELL to take back the House!

At the very LEAST, the House. Because that takes Devin Nunes’s chairmanship if the House Intel Committee away from him and gives it to Adam Schiff. And Chairman Schiff will have the power to crank that investigation back up, or start a new one, and issue subpoenas, and get those phone records. AND compel people to come and testify, or testify again. And MORE.

So VOTE, DAMMIT!!!

Indeed. She knows what real evil is.

She’s uniquely qualified to identify and fight this real-life Dark Wizard.

Where are Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and most of the Weasleys when we need them?

Take care, ghostsinthemachine!

Having lived with the threat of brushfires for most of my life, I sympathize. The last one came the closest, and for the first time in 55 years there, many of our neighbors were all loading their cars just in case. It was the first time I ever saw our next door neighbor backing his car into his driveway (to load up the back of his car).

Scary! Stay safe!

Some of us. Not all of us.

Some others among us DID smell a rat.

DAYUM! One thing I can say about ratfucking: it's damn creative.

What won’t they think up, next?
