Trump now admits he fired Comey because of Russia investigation

Maybe this has already made the rounds -- I can't be arsed to sort through all that I've missed since my last visit to this wondrous place -- but just in case...

What the fuck is even happening right now?

Donald Trump Is Waging a War on Workers
On almost every measure, Trump is making life worse for the working class.


"...This war on workers isn’t a bug, but a feature of a White House that has turned its economic plan over to Goldman Sachs alums and stocked its cabinet with “billionaires, bankers and bigots,” in the words of Senator Elizabeth Warren. Trump could have pushed to forge a bipartisan coalition to back his populist promises. Instead he chose to let the Republican majority in Congress, driven by the radical Freedom Caucus, define his priorities. In his first months in office, he has betrayed the voters who put him there.

The question is when they will finally understand what has happened. Trump keeps posturing as a populist. The outrage of the day—from Comey to the Kushner family business in China—captures media attention. Policy is complicated, but the story is clear. Trump is betraying his promise on jobs and shafting workers. Progressives should make certain this reality isn’t lost in the din."

Also, Kissingers horrible crimes are in the past, Trimp's are sadly yet to come. That picture looks worse than anything, though...

Yes, but I've heard it argued that Kissinger helped pave the way for Trump. Bit of a leap of you ask me, but whatever.

It was in a shitty documentary that somehow made it onto BBC2 or something. Looked like it was filmed by some really shitty film students.

Kissinger is reviled by many left-leaning observers of foreign policy. They consider him an amoral egotist who enabled dictators, extended the Vietnam War, laid the path to the Khmer Rouge killing fields, stage-managed a genocide in East Timor, overthrew the democratically elected left-wing government in Chile, and encouraged Nixon to wiretap his political adversaries.

In a deal that will allow one broadcasting company to reach 72 percent of U.S. households through ownership of local news stations, it was reported this week that Sinclair Broadcast Group is buying Tribune Media for nearly $4 billion.
Such a move wouldn’t have been possible a few weeks back, but Donald Trump’s new Federal Trade Commission (FCC) chairman, Ajit Pai, just began implementing sweeping changes to previously established media ownership rules. Bloomberg

All true, no argument here. (Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic).

was the guy who leaked the DNC emails, the Podesta pedophilia material that is so quickly suppressed...executed on the streets of freedom loving america

The corporate broadcasting networks are full-on soviet-style propaganda. NPR is getting repulsive, weaving victim stories with the latest RUSSIA propaganda.

Why do you keep replying to him? He's deep trolling like whaaaat.

evollove 05.17.2017 09:46 AM

He's not trolling at all. I'm sure he really thinks Seth Rich was murdered by the DNC.

Maybe he was. There's not a single shred of evidence pointing to this. The family doesn't suspect the dnc. The cops don't. This private investigator Wheeler fellow changed his story yesterday afternoon, puncturing the whole conspiracy theory. But maybe.

That's weird. Just read a pseudo-story by a pseudo-journalist on Medium about this. The conveniently timed story was about the "convenient" timing of the Washington Post's Trussia story.

It's like hipocrisy has become an actual tangible (and formidable) thing. Something you can hold in your very hands, but somehow not crush. Like a tick.

Severian 05.17.2017 10:40 AM

Even if he believes it, he's still trolling, trying to provoke, etc.

downloaded this the other day. Looks to be pretty good. Apparently he's involved in blood fucking diamonds, too (along with Pat Fucking Robertson)
