Well that's a universal twitter dragging.
AOC needs to ditch him yesterday.
This is a good read which essentially threads everything we know about the Mueller investigation gleaned solely from court filings. Some folks have speculated that such reports are a way for Mueller to publicise his findings in the case of any suppression efforts by the Trump admin:
They're just running the entire conservative bad faith playbook in a single day huh.
Project Veritas and the Covington Catholic PR outfit would be proud.
This is a lesson of the working world that isn't obvious to a college student, or even many adults. Management is really hard.
You didn't think that academy in Arrested Development was satire did you?
Republicans are already doing that, like with that kid in Texas selling hot chocolate to build the wall. Shithead parents put them up to it as bait for partisans.
Conservatives have been using children as shields and cudgles for years. 'Why no one would question a child!'
Never forget that they deliberately let CHIP expire and left it for months so they could later use it as a bargaining tool to attach to a larger bill and go "What, you don't want to help CHILDREN! The dems hate children, everyone!". Their sheer amoral cynicism can't be overstated.

At a Kerry rally I attended in 04 at a small local stadium a couple parents brought their kids to protest with them. Always disgusted me.
This selectively edited clip went viral thanks to Leftist Twitter, leading to a general dogpile on DiFi:
This was what actually happened:
Yeah, I just edited my post to make it clearer.
Talk about shameless.
Not really thrilled Rose Twitter is taking cues from Project Veritas
BuzzFeed News @BuzzFeedNews
More than half – 51% – of tech industry professionals believe that Trump has a point about the media producing fake news, a BuzzFeed News survey has found https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/josephbernstein/tech-industry-survey?bftwnews&utm_term=4ldqpgc#4ldqpgc …
In the findings: Older employees, employees of larger tech companies, and employees of companies with $1 billion+ in revenue were more likely to have a negative opinion of the media, and women in the tech industry are less likely to hold a positive opinion than male counterparts.
Of men in the industry who were surveyed, 45% believe "the media has become too feminist," while 34% of survey respondents believe the media is unfair to white men. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/josephbernstein/tech-industry-survey?bftwnews&utm_term=4ldqpgc#4ldqpgc …

BuzzFeed News: Survey: 51% Of Tech Industry Workers Believe President Trump Has A Point About The Media Creating Fake News
Indeed, more than half (51%) of tech industry professionals "somewhat agree" or "strongly agree" with the statement that "President Trump has a point when it comes to the media producing fake news." A separate survey conducted by BuzzFeed News, of 1,000 Americans representing the national population, found that only 42% somewhat or strongly agree with that statement.*
---------
Tech workers' mistrust of the press seems to stem from several sources, one of which is the perception of identity-based bias in the media's coverage of tech companies.
Nearly 4 in 10 of tech workers (38%) and nearly half of men in the industry (45%) surveyed believe "the media has become too feminist." (A separate survey conducted by BuzzFeed News* found that the national percentage of people who believe the media has become "too feminist" is 39%.) Over the past several years, dozens of stories have focused on the relative dearth of women working in the industry — specifically in technical jobs — and the difficulties faced by the women who work in tech.
Similarly, more than a third (34%) of survey respondents, and more than 4 in 10 male survey respondents (41%), believe the media is unfair to white men. Last year, former Google engineer James Damore sued his old employer, alleging a company-wide effort to increase the number of women and underrepresented racial minorities that discriminated against white male conservatives.
I mean, he's right.
In the same way that say, the Big Bad Wolf would be right if he told the three little pigs that pigs being eaten by wolves was a problem.
Beto trolling with these email titles. "Sharing exciting news with you" then it's just Beto winning an award
Can someone explain the appeal of being anti-vaccine? Is there some hidden ulterior motive that i'm missing? Because it's almost always conservative people and republicans seem to be encouraging the behavior.
Honestly I don't think there is one, it's just stupidity.
Why does she think this 4 page resolution can pass anything? She doesn't seem like a complete ass in the full video but she's not saying anything more substantial by lying about what resolutions will pass.
So GOP base will be:
* White nationalists
* Incels
* General bigots
* Traitors
* Grifters
* Christian extremists
* Child molestors
* Conspiracy theorists
* Anti-vaxxers
I laugh every time someone moans about the "lost economic activity" from Amazon pulling out. Is New York City really starving for new economic activity!?
You know powerful people hate AOC out of all incoming Congressional rookies as she says ICIJ findings by name with links in her famous tweets.
*hiss and flee*
"Son, liberals call our fellow conservatives rubes and rednecks. You are to never do that. Instead, we con them."

So Loomer and Wohl are going on Periscope begging connies for "money, money, money" for their Ilhan investigation. These people are so fucking blatant LMAO
This is one of the big problems with democracy. A policy decision can be literally life and death for one person, but his vote can be negated by someone who doesn't even care much about that issue.
Old people don't care about climate change because it's not an issue for them and they'd rather not take the risk of being inconvenienced by new policies. I'm not saying democracy is bad and i don't know of a better alternative, i'm just pointing out that its a difficult problem to address.
My cousin (on the left, very highly educated) is antivax, and I have some in-laws (rural evangelical conservatives, high school educations) who are, too. In both cases it's fueled by a belief that they are smarter than everyone else, as well as intense paranoia of the medical system. In my cousin's case, he's just a very ideosyncratic person who is himself vaccinated but believes these things should be everyone's individual choice. His father, sister, and gf are all MDs and think he's crazy. Some of our most intense fights have been over this issue. But because he's vaccinated, healthy, and is likely never going to have kids, no one cares that much. He has a lot of idiotic yet harmless health practices, like some wand he keeps in his water bottle that purportedly makes water more absorbable. He also has "earthing" lines to connect his bed and office chair to the energies of the earth. Again, idiotic but harmless. He is a fairly successful day trader, which seems to have made his iconoclastic impulses worse.
The in-laws are a different story. They take colloidal silver for colds, drink weird alternative waters, etc. It's especially sad because the mom got breast cancer and tried treating it for a year with prayer and herbs. Eventually she caved and got chemo. She died not long after. That branch of the family now clings to their magical beliefs more than ever. They are also really into Rapture theology for much the same reasons: because of your secret knowledge, you aren't a marginal person at all, but a special one, and everyone who ever looked down on you is going to have Jesus throw it back in their faces one day.
Thanks for this, any idea why republicans encourage the behavior?

Just general anti-intellectualism. Or "alternate" intellectualism. It's why all those rationalist white supremacists also love phrenology and talk about imaginary nutritional and energy science all the time.
