For the benefit of everyone, what sites are live streaming tomorrow?

Is there a link to live streaming MSNBC? CNN?

No Pentagon briefing since May 2018; no Secretary of Defense either.

Wars all over the world.

NK rattling sabers again.

End to Yemen vetoed by Trump.

Venezuela.

Who is running things?

Jared?

Doesn't there need to be a law written by House setting some standards for cabinet appointments?

Prediction: Barr will announce DoJ investigation of oranges of counter intelligence investigation ..


.....Thursday morning at press conference.

I can't see any other reason for their strategy.

Some say Barr was ordered by Trump to call the press conference before release of report to Congress FOR THIS REASON, to appease the base with their dream.

We would be lax in not considering that a real and dangerous possibility.

For those who are mad at Berners, still.

It's important to study the NPR data from 2017. Here's an important paragraph about the 1 in 10 Bernie supporters who crossed over to Trump in the GE:

Party seems to have had something to do with it — Sanders-Trump voters were much less likely than Sanders-Clinton or Sanders-third party voters to have been Democrats. Likewise, approval of President Barack Obama appears to be related — Sanders-Trump voters approved of Obama much less than other Sanders primary voters.


Ergo: Those who crossed over weren't previously Dems.

And they were not supporters of Obama.

There was a racial bias common in these crossovers:

"And then there is race. Nearly half of Sanders-Trump voters disagree with the idea that "white people have advantages."

And so it is counter-productive to think of holding all Bernie supporters responsible for Clinton's electoral college loss.

It's not possible to have party unity in the GE with people who obviously have had no true affiliation with the party and do not share core values.

Let's hope to learn from this NPR data.

There is a twitter presence tracking all Trump fundraising emails.

Great idea. Keep an eye on his propaganda to the base.

This must be our anti-Trump anthem


In his fundraising letter to the base yesterday, he wrote: "....this country is yours, not theirs."

"Barr has a remarkably pro-Russia investment portfolio"

1. Howard Lorber's Vector Group (@DonaldJTrumpJr allegedly called Lorber about Trump Tower meeting)

2. AlfaBank

3. Ochs-Ziff

4. DeutscheBank.

Data at link. You don't have to be a twitter member to read twitter.
