Haha! Anderson Cooper messes with RWNJ Jim Jordan's head

CNN host Anderson Cooper put Ohio Representative Jim Jordan in the hot seat Monday night, grilling the conservative lawmaker on the topic of whether he'd ever heard President Donald Trump lie. After trying to deflect the question, Jordan eventually shook his head and said, "I have not."

"I've never heard the president... He's always been square with me, that's for darn sure," Jordan said when asked if he'd heard Trump make false claims. When Cooper pressed the lawmaker on whether Trump had said untrue things to the public, Jordan attempted to deflect the question, hesitating over his answer, and then said, "I don't know of it. Nothing comes to mind."

Cooper then brought up the widely circulated compendium of the president's lies, published by The Washington Post. Jordan said he had not seen the article.

The two had been involved in a discussion about Former FBI Director James Comey when the exchange took place, specifically referring to Comey's claim that Trump is a "serial liar" who is "morally unfit" to be president. Jordan didn't hesitate to call Andrew McCabe, former deputy director of the FBI, a liar.

U.S. Supreme Court Rebuffs Trump, Won't Hear Immigration Appeal

February 26, 2018, 9:31 AM EST
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a Trump administration appeal aimed at ending deportation protections for young undocumented immigrants, steering clear for now of the debate over the fate of hundreds of thousands of people.

The justices turned away the administrations appeal of a ruling that has kept the Obama-era program in place. The rejection buys time for the so-called dreamers even as Congress has been unable to agree on legislation to give them permanent protection.

Russia's evil deeds revealed in interview with Caroline Orr

https://twitter.com/Garossino/status/946479921022492672

This interview is really long and gives you a deep insight into what the hell happened. I learned so much and have a much better understanding of the story behind Trump's Russia conspiracy!

Clipped parts from the story....

Enter the robots

Orr: I stayed up oftentimes into the early morning hours, and started to notice at 2, 3 and 4 a.m., patterns of Twitter activity that were just weird.

I had a baseline understanding of what normal activity looked like, what automated or bot activity looks like, and what heavy traffic looks like. Hashtags appearing out of nowhere at three in the morning are not normal unless there’s breaking news.

The activity pattern was very abnormal. Beyond the time factor of being 3 a.m., these tweets were being pushed in waves. You’d see these big spikes in activity where a bunch of tweets will come out all at once and then it drops back off.

This pattern was not organic — it was not people sitting at their computers deciding all at once to tweet about media lies. A couple of the tweets were geo-tagged to Macedonia, which was known to host these fake news farms.

End of my clips......there is a lot more including stories of how Pizzagate happened and so much more. It is well worth your reading time.

Again here's the link straight to the story at National Observer.

Just saw this on Quora!

What would you do if you ran into Barack Obama?
Ron Wagner
Ron Wagner, I met Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush 41 & Trump.

I’d tell him that I used to be a pilot in the Presidential Wing at Andrews and that my flying career led me to shake hands with and fly six US Presidents but that of all of them I am absolutely THRILLED to shake hands with my seventh one because he’s the one I admire the most.

I’d say I really miss having him as POTUS. Really. Really. Really. Miss him and the class that he brought to our whole country.

LOL too funny. Opinion piece on Drumph by Harretz (Israeli newspaper)

Here's a couple paragraphs...

Stupidity is one of the more easily accessible and widespread explanations for Trump’s behavior. It’s no coincidence, of course, that his election resurrected the futuristic cult classic “Idiocracy’ about a dumbed down America that chooses a loutish porn actor as president. It’s true that Trump has claimed in the past that his IQ is much higher than that of Obama or of comedian John Stewart, but in that case, he’s doing an excellent job of concealing his intelligence, as his visit this week to Puerto Rico showed.

Some people ascribe Trump’s behavior in such events to obnoxious racism rather than stupidity. Prejudice and racial stereotypes are such a prominent feature of his personality, they maintain, that he just can’t keep them under lock. He has described himself as ‘the least racist person ever,” but since he launched his presidential run by describing Mexican immigrants as rapists and murderers, Trump has described Puerto Ricans as lazy, Muslims as wannabe terrorists, African-Americans as thugs, Jews as proficient with money and women as inferior sexual objects. It’s only among neo-Nazis, apparently, that Trump has found “some fine people.”

The rest is just as interesting. Lots more at https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/1.815879

Secret Service vacates Trump Tower command post in lease dispute with presidents company

Source: Washington Post

The Secret Service has vacated its command post inside Trump Tower in Manhattan following a dispute between the government and President Trump’s company over the terms of a lease for the space, according to two people familiar with the discussions.

Previously, the Secret Service had stationed its command post — which houses supervisors and backup agents on standby in case of an emergency — in a Trump Tower unit one floor below the president’s apartment.

But in early July, the post was relocated to a trailer on the sidewalk, more than 50 floors below, a distance that some security experts worry could hamper the agency that protects the president’s home and family.

The command post appears unlikely to move anytime soon back inside Trump Tower, where the president and his family have rarely gone since moving to the White House.

U.S.: Syria government has constructed a crematorium to dispose of thousands of prisoners

Source: Washington Post

By Washington Post Staff May 15 at 12:14 PM
Officials say at least 50 prisoners a day are executed, some in mass hangings, at the notorious Sednaya military prison outside of Damascus. And the officals accused Russia and Iran of complicity in “these atrocities.” The U.S. released aerial photos of the facility and said its information came from “intelligence assessments” as well as human rights groups.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
