Can someone let me know if the Bernie Bros have decided if the #IowaCaucusDisaster was caused by the totally predictable incompetence of mainstream Democrats OR a nefarious plot by the DNC to deny victory to Bernie? I’ve seen both claims made, sometimes by the same Bro.

Sean Hannity needs to stop up his game because Lou Dobbs is going to be the one Donnie tells all the secrets to if he keeps up. Done more for blacks than any President since Lincoln. GTFO. Oh and of course, I love how identity politics is bad but then they do it to try to act like Trump is anything other than a racist pile of horse shit.

This is the problem Berners. They are so all in on the revolution and what not they’re just incapable of learning from history- even something as simple as the history of the past three god damned years.

You mean last time a democrat was president, when we got Sotomayor and Kagan?

Or you mean last time people told you we needed to defeat Trump because of judges, and you guys went “whatever!” and Trump did exactly what we warned you of?

re: #42 Ace Rothstein

Hell, didn’t Eisenhower desegregate the military?

No. He did order that troops be used to reinforce units during the Bulge with no regard to race. The troops experience fighting alongside one another was used by Truman as his official excuse when he desegregated the Army because Southerners were being shitheads to returning soldiers. Combat in Korea would then validate the decision.

It’s almost worth it for Bernie to be the nominee so first, he can lose so bad it will be a historical record in US History (and finally put the nail in his political coffin), and 2. Let Impeached President and Head of the Trump Crime Family, Donald Trump, finally deal with the inevitable economic wreckage that is incoming due to the enormous budget deficit he has run up paying for the current “economic miracle”.

But where are they going to publish it? The corporate media will drop is fast as they dropped the Jeffrey Epstein story. I sure haven’t seen any investigative reporting on his death, his girlfriend, what was found at his residence - nothing.

The story of the Ukraine scandal begins with documents dumped in a river

This is why Trump is afraid of real journalists.

Following story about 4chan users clogging Iowa call lines, we are now seeing reporters from major outlets posting in chans, saying they are working on a story and sharing their contact info.

If this is indication of how major outlets are gonna engage with disinfo, we’re doomed.

NEW: Sens. Grassley and Johnson have targeted @AlexandraChalup as part of their probe into debunked claims re: Ukraine/2016 election & Biden. Here’s her statement to @BuzzFeedNews. Additionally, DOJ sent Chalupa a letter in 2017 saying she did not have to register under FARA pic.twitter.com/ll43fQZV5J

I have multiple sources inside the Justice Department that tell me when Barr became Attorney General he shut down *six* separate investigations into Trump and Trump related companies and surrogates.

I’m told Barr has also prevented *two new* investigations from moving forward. https://t.co/ikK9WCfuXU

re: #70 Florida Panhandler

It’s almost worth it for Bernie to be the nominee so first, he can lose so bad it will be a historical record in US History (and finally put the nail in his political coffin), and 2. Let Impeached President and Head of the Trump Crime Family, Donald Trump, finally deal with the inevitable economic wreckage that is incoming due to the enormous budget deficit he has run up paying for the current “economic miracle”.

It is high time a Republican has to deal with the economic reality tax breaks for billionaires unleashes on a nation that doesn’t even have the decency to cover basic health care for all its citizens.

Big nope on this, even though it sucks prodigiously for Democrats to always be stuck cleaning up GOP messes and then getting blamed for the messes instead of being credited with the cleanup.

A fascist dictatorship in the US is the only possible result if the shit hits the fan when Republicans are in charge.

If it can even be done at all, it will take decades to wean people away from looking to the likes of Trump for stupid/evil answers to problems, and to finally start blaming Republicans for the consequences of their evil polices.

There’s no chance at all of that happening quickly in a crisis mode. 99+% of people make their worst decisions when rushed or in a crisis.

The Times is kind of schizo in that their reporters are digging pretty deep even as the management is so butt-kissy to Trump. WaPo can be good too. I guess I’m counting on reporters like David Corn from Mother Jones and outlets like the Daily Beast and The Guardian. Their work can get picked up by Rachael Maddow.

I Googled Jeffrey Epstein’s Girlfriend 2020 and the first thing that came up was a NYT article. You have to read fairly deep into the article to get the info (I only got a little ways in before I was cut off for not having an account). Maddow has said on her show that the juicy info is always towards the bottom of long stories, so you do have to read the whole thing. It’s not always the main point of the story. There were more stories, but most of them were in the English press because of the Prince Andrew connection.

My wife can relate to the pain. She had the same problems at Digital Equipment in the Eighties and Nineties. Corporations don’t care about data security, because that costs money.

Lots of IT folks, security experts, and software engineers in this thread saying “the struggle is real.”

I feel like I’m writing the same stories over and over again and it never seems to change anything:

Somebody didn’t patch.
Somebody didn’t test.
Somebody bought and forgot.
Somebody thought security through obscurity works.
Somebody didn’t respond to a vulnerability report.

Odds are that you’d probably find some coverage in the tabloid media; mainstream media probably reckons that the whole squalid story isn’t “respectable” enough to merit coverage, but tabloid media tends to specialize in more salacious matters.

All I know about Don Winslow is he writes novels. How would he have contacts inside the DOJ?

Something you learn talking to people at Trump rallies is that they are often fairly clear-eyed about the fact that the president lies. https://t.co/FmLioDQhSU pic.twitter.com/Cy4Ab4r6nl

Yep, the Base is morally degenerate. This is not a case of slimy manipulators misleading the well-intentioned but simple-minded rubes. The rubes are as slimy as the hucksters, which actually fits with con-artist tradition since prehistoric times, “you can’t cheat an honest man.”
