the machine is coming after tucky because he keeps speaking out against war and regime change. is there anyone else on MSM speaking out against war and shitting on people like bolton? he also gives a platform to people like tulsi and doesn't try to set her up for sound bites to later be used against her. tucker is a turd, but he's always been a turd. this "scandal" seems more like the war machine doesn't like his audience getting an anti-war message.   ::)

It is very unfair to reduce Andrew Yang's candidacy to "lol memes."

He has more detailed policy proposals on his website than Hillary Clinton did in 2016.

palast with some good info  8)

Sorry for the late reply. This was excellent, everyone should watch it.
I had no idea wapo and nytimes had become this bad. No real reporting or original research.
There really is no free press in America. America's democracy is a complete sham at this point, where everyone is only (unwittingly or directly) serving the interests of a select few in the background (who thankfully at times have clashing interests). One thing I really don't get is why the Democrats don't talk about Republicans stealing votes. Republicans continue to commit massive election fraud during every single election. It's one thing the news doesn't talk about it because they have ulterior motives, but why don't high profile Democrats?

The information regarding Venezuela was very interesting, as well.

Yang reminds me of all the candidates I have supported in the past: affable but not charismatic, vaguely moderate, no chance of winning.

I'm sure I'll support him and then be horribly disappointing when his candidacy dies in middle America.

Alternatively, it is just as possible that Facebook simply decided to no longer allow its users to share our content in retaliation for our extensive coverage of what some have dubbed the platform's "many problems", including chronic privacy violations, mass abandonment by younger users, its gross and ongoing misrepresentation of fake users, ironically - in retrospect - its systematic censorship  and back door government cooperation (those are just links from the past few weeks).

Unfortunately, as noted above, we still don't know what event precipitated this censorship, and any attempts to get feedback from the company with the $500 billion market cap, have so far remained unanswered.

Quote
Let’s be completely clear here. Nobody—least of all the leftwing mobs attacking Tucker Carlson right now—cares what he said on the radio a decade ago. Except to the extent that his words can be wrapped around his neck like a noose.

All the feigned outrage is exactly that: feigned. David Brock and his henchmen, along with their instantly mobilized Twitter mob, are not outraged. Not in the least. They’re giddy! And why wouldn’t they be? They’ve been looking for a way to get “Tucker Carlson Tonight” canceled since the show debuted. The search intensified as its popularity rose and its message caught fire.

The imperative to kill the show reached a fever pitch after Carlson’s now-legendary January 2 monologue, which is the most searing indictment against a failed ruling class since Thomas Paine’s Common Sense.

Carlson may not be alone in autopsying, in humiliating detail, the massive failure of our elites. But he is the best at it, with the largest audience, and the biggest following of follow-on pundits, writers, bloggers, memers, and tweeters. Carlson and his show are the tip of the spear in a spiritual war, the most effective voice of the disaffected, despised, left-behind, forgotten America that our elites have manifestly failed.

The ruling class knows this. Its leftist handmaidens know it. They can’t beat Carlson on the field of ideas; not simply because he’s smarter and wittier than they are, but more fundamentally because he’s right and they’re wrong. And they know that, too.
Quote
Are you willing to chase into the outer darkness the one commentator-journalist most attuned to the crisis of our time, and most effective at addressing it, over tawdry comments made between eight and 13 years ago? If your answer is “yes,” you already wanted the show canceled yesterday, and for totally different reasons. The comments influenced you not a bit.

Nearly 300,000 Illegal Immigrants Drain America's Resources
Nearly 300,000 illegal aliens enter the United States each year -- a flood of undocumented immigrants who sap precious American tax dollars and undermine the nation's security.

Dole Will Strengthen Border Patrol and Streamline the Deportations Process
America is a nation of immigrants, and Bob Dole believes that America must continue to be a land of opportunity for those who enter the nation legally, work hard, and sacrifice to achieve a better life for themselves and their children.

However, Bob Dole does not believe that immigrants who have entered the United States illegally should be entitled to government welfare services and other benefits. Bob Dole supports strengthening the Border Patrol and streamlining the deportation process for illegal aliens.

Bob Dole Has Been a Leader in Fighting Illegal Immigration
During Bob Dole's career, he has:

Led the Senate to overwhelmingly pass the Immigration Control and Financial Responsibility Act. This legislation increases the number of Border Patrol agents, creates additional detention centers for illegal immigrants, denies public benefits to illegal immigrants, and cracks down on illegal aliens who have overstayed their visas. The bill also includes an amendment authored by Senator Dole that makes crimes against women and children deportable offenses.

Called for an overhaul of American immigration policy, and has played a key role in the passage of immigration reforms in 1983. These reforms help control the flow of illegal immigrants, reduce access to entitlement programs and encourage legal immigrants to seek employment immediately after entering the United States or face deportation.

Led the effort to require the federal government to reimburse states for the cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in state prisons. In 1994, Bob Dole fought to provide the states with $350 million in reimbursement money. Unfortunately, Bill Clinton helped whittle down the actual amount by more than half.

Bill Clinton and His Administration Are Soft on Illegal Immigration
Bill Clinton has threatened to veto legislation that allows states to decide whether to give government services and taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens.

Bill Clinton actually proposed cutting funding for Border Patrols in his first budget. Clinton's first proposed budget, in 1993, sought to cut Border Patrol staffing by 93 positions. (Source: Congressional Quarterly, July 13, 1993)

A Better America
With Bob Dole as President, the American people will not be asked to support wasteful government programs that reward immigrants who enter the country illegally. Bob Dole will crack down on illegal immigration while preserving legal immigration.
a flood!

Bill Clinton Wants to Put "Big Brother" in Your Computer
Bill Clinton believes in bureaucratic micro-management of the information economy.

Within his first 100 days as President, Bill Clinton proposed the Clipper Chip -- a secret government-controlled encryption algorithm -- and a companion key escrow system where two government agencies would hold a copy of the keys for every Clipper user. Since then Bill Clinton has released updated versions of encryption proposals which insist that the government hold a key to individual's private data communications.

The Clinton Administration's Internet Task Force has proposed legislation that would reduce the rights of users of copyrighted material if that information is used on the Internet. Their infamous "NII White Paper" ignored important court decisions which balance the rights of information users with those of information creators.

Bob Dole Will Protect the Constitutional Liberty of Internet Users
Bob Dole is concerned about children accessing unsuitable material when using the Internet. But strict censorship of the Internet is not the answer. Bob Dole believes that parents should take responsibility for the material that their children view, and he wants to encourage technology which allows those decisions to be made within each home.

My love for Rudy was just to trigger all the NYC Gaffers who would claim he was the spawn of Satan.

I was a C-Span junkie in the early 90's and Newt was really great as a speaker. They would show him doing book tours or speaking engagements about American history, self-empowerment and shit like that. My inner Alex P Keaton would get a boner.

That kind of thing happens a lot in those hearings, just people are watching Sandy's every move. It's rare the Congresscritter actually has enough interest and time to ask relevant questions of the subject matter expert (of some form) called to the hearing. Especially when framed as a single exchange, we don't know what her follow up or his explanation was.

The ultimate example perhaps being this never forget moment:

This was a story last year? Wells Fargo, among others, was providing financing for the companies that were running privatized baby jails detention centers and was pressured by a bunch of activists to stop doing business with those companies.

The CEO shows up at a hearing and acts like he knows nothing about it, and it gets passed on as EPIC OWNAGE of AOC by the most hapless dumbfucks on the internet.
