This is some scary, fascist stuff…
Remember that time when some of the biggest companies and international government agencies got together to discuss how the coronavirus would lead to a global pandemic, and then systematically decided what the global response should be? Yeah, me neither.
Thanks to Peter Quinones and Richard Grove for bringing this to my attention.
So the GOP-dominated Senate Intelligence Committee says the CIA was right, says the Washington Post. Omitted so far from what I’ve read is any actual reason to believe so besides the old “Even Republican Senators are repeating CIA claims! Wow, they must be true!”
There’s a big recap of the decision to include the Steele Dossier as part of the January 2017 “assessment,” most of which is blacked out.
They cite RT coverage as somehow meaningful beyond showing “preference” for Trump
On page 52 they finally let us see part of their argument, just the outline of it. Same old bullshit again.
The supposed high-level source that was hiding under his own name in Virginia.
The completely unproven case that the Russian GRU hacked the DNC. Again, NSA, the only ones who would know for sure, only gave “moderate” confidence to this judgement, showing most likely that they were just taking the FBI’s word for it.
The leak to Wikileaks that the special prosecutor admitted he had no reliable chain of custody to demonstrate.
The “intrusions” into state electoral systems that were all a bunch of hyped-up Homeland Security bullshit.
And last and least: non-government trolls bought some Facebook ads that did absolutely nothing and RT made fun of us for the financial crash! Waaah.
Same old bullshit. And the evidence? See for yourself. It ain’t there.
No, really, they would tell you, but then they’d have to kill you. And you don’t want to give them the excuse. That’s what they do. Kill people.
WILMINGTON, Del. – As pleas for protective masks continue amid the coronavirus pandemic, a Delaware supplier of medical equipment is disputing the legality of what he said were federal seizures of hundreds of thousands of N95 respirators.
George Gianforcaro, owner of the small, Newark, Delaware-based Indutex USA, said the Federal Emergency Management Agency did not pay him when it took possession of two imported shipments of masks bound for customers across the United States.
Those customers included Delaware nursing facilities, the state of Michigan and boat captains who steer foreign ships through U.S. bays.
He said he does not know where the seized N95 masks are today.
Perpetual war monger Liz Cheney has vowed to defeat Congressman Thomas Massie from Kentucky by actively donating to his challenger Tod McMurtry. But, Massie has been publishing tweets from McMurtry which show support for Alt-right viewpoints on race which have embarrassed Cheney and forced her to withdraw support for McMurtry..
Cheney and other GOP supporters including the Republican Jewish Coalition have pulled support for McMurtry and requested refunds for their donations.
On Saturday, Ms. Cheney said that she asked Mr. McMurtry’s campaign to return her contribution.
“We as Republicans must not condone racism in any form,” Ms. Cheney wrote on Twitter. “Last night I was alerted to tweets by a candidate to whom my political action committee made a contribution. After reviewing the tweets, I asked that the contribution be returned.”
Mr. Turner and the Republican Jewish Coalition also said in statements on Saturday that they had requested for the campaign to return their donations. The Republican Jewish Coalition also rescinded the endorsement of Mr. McMurtry it made hours after Mr. Massie tried to force a vote on the coronavirus relief package.
Mr. Massie has long clashed with hawkish Republicans like Ms. Cheney, and he alluded to his disdain for their worldview on Twitter after her donation to Mr. McMurtry and that of Mr. Turner’s became public, writing: “I guess #neocons really do hate coming to work, while expecting nurses and truckers and soldiers to keep doing their jobs. Who knew?”
Congressman Matt Gaetz called out her hypocrisy: As far as I am concerned, the entire Cheney clan of war profiteers should be in jail.
Bad guy: *drops weapon*
Cop: *murders him*
