I wonder who thought Candance Owens being brought into the mainstream was a good thing. She can't even articulate conservative talking points.

Is President Donald Trump aware residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands are, in fact, Americans? It's unclear.In a speech Friday, Trump said he'd recently "met with the president of the Virgin Islands" to discuss the recent hurricanes that have devastated Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and the island.But Trump could not have spoken to the "president of the Virgin Islands" because, of course, he is the president of the U.S. Virgin Islands, whose residents are U.S. citizens.

President Donald Trump's latest 2020 campaign video was removed from Twitter Tuesday night after Warner Brothers Pictures requested it be taken down due to the use of music from "The Dark Knight Rises'" score."The use of Warner Bros.' score from 'The Dark Knight Rises' in the campaign video was unauthorized," a Warner Brothers spokesperson said in a statement.A message where the video used to appear reads: "This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner."The two-minute video not only utilized Hans Zimmer's "Why Do We Fall?" from the 2012 threequel, but also shared the font used for the film's title cards.
New York City officials declared a public health emergency on Tuesday after almost 300 cases of measles in the city, announcing fines of up to $1,000 if people disobey the mandatory vaccination order."This is the epicenter of a measles outbreak that is very, very troubling and must be dealt with immediately," said Mayor Bill de Blasio, during a press conference in Williamsburg, where the outbreak is occurring in Orthodox Jewish communities.De Blasio decried anti-vaxxer misinformation campaigns targeting parents, and the health commissioner warned parents were having "measles parties" to infect their children with measles and to naturally immunize them — and avoid the vaccination.

Later in the hearing, Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, said that Barr's "spying" comment was "unnecessarily inflammatory" and offered the attorney general the chance to rephrase his remarks because Schatz said "the word spying could cause everybody in the cable news ecosystem to freak out."
A little over two and a half years ago, Stephen Moore appeared at a conservative panel on the election and the economy, where one questioner asked about monetary policy. “Well, you know, I’m not an expert on monetary policy,” admitted Moore, before proceeding to deliver an answer bearing out this very confession. (The question concerned “cash flow velocity,” which Moore deflected by ignoring, retreating to a generality — “We want clear rules and a stable dollar” — and then changing the subject to regulation.)In October, appearing on another panel, Moore demurred on another question about the Federal Reserve by noting, “I’m not a monetary economist, I’m not an expert on monetary policy.”

Trump asked whether Washington was "really rich," according to a second person familiar with the visit. In fact, Washington was either the wealthiest or among the wealthiest Americans of his time, thanks largely to his mini real estate empire.“That is what Trump was really the most excited about,” this person said.
If Trump was impressed with Washington’s real estate instincts, he was less taken by Mount Vernon itself, which the first president personally expanded from a modest one-and-a-half story home into an 11,000 square foot mansion. The rooms, Trump said, were too small, the staircases too narrow, and he even spotted some unevenness in the floorboards, according to four sources briefed on his comments. He could have built the place better, he said, and for less money.
And despite his criticisms, Trump found something to like at Mount Vernon, too. Among the artifacts preserved there is the bed where Washington passed away from a throat infection in 1799. Trump, who is infamously picky about where he sleeps and resists spending nights away from home, felt out the bedpost and told the Macrons and Bradburn that he approved, according to three people briefed on the event."A good bed to die in,” Trump said.

Barr added that he had “no specific evidence” to cite about any spying that occurred.
Subject: Fuck Tucker Carlson Dear Friend, Recently, Senator Gravel was invited to appear as a guest on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight. We had no choice but to decline. This was not an easy decision, as the Senator has believed for many years that the anti-war message should be heard by anyone who is willing to listen — even hostile cable news personalities. This decision was made more difficult by the fact that we could desperately use the exposure that the appearance would bring. In order to qualify for the Democratic debates, we need 65,000 donations from individuals across the country and we still have a long way to go. Fox News pundits have always served as yellow journalists, using xenophobia and white supremacy to sell wars domestically and abroad to please their corporate masters. The network has emboldened white supremacists and is the single entity most responsible for the corruption of our public discourse. Most troubling, though, are the numerous acts of domestic terrorism that have occurred as a direct result of their hateful and bigoted rhetoric. At its heart, this is a campaign about peace. It is for that reason we could not appear on Tucker Carlson Tonight. We cannot, in good conscience, appear on the program of a white supremacist who is responsible for encouraging violence against immigrants, people of color, and the political left. To do so would lend tacit endorsement to his deeply reprehensible views and would reinforce the ridiculous idea that his sham of a talk show is a place for serious debate. We believe strongly in our anti-war platform, and would be very happy to share it with nearly anyone else. Sincerely, David Oks Campaign Manager

Politico: Trump says he's the mastermind of immigration policy, not Stephen MillerThat's not what you're supposed to do in this situation

I also kind of hate that everyone(in general) is sort of glossing over that the president has started directing people under his purview to break the law(and firing the DHS security for not doing it) and to then tell a co-equal branch of government to fuck off about it.....twice.
PoliticsMeghan McCain Is Kind of 'Grateful' Trump Is President: Otherwise, 'I Don’t Think I Would Be Successful' on The ViewPeople Adam Carlson,People 5 hours ago Reactions Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet EmailScroll back up to restore default view.Meghan McCain is not a fan of President Donald Trump — just ask her — but she’s “grateful” to him for one thing.“If Trump wasn’t president, I don’t think I would be successful here,” the View co-host said in a new book on the show, Ladies Who Punch, which was published last week.“For that reason, I guess I’m grateful that Trump is president,” McCain continued. “It’s just made my job a little easier because I know why it happened.”Still, McCain, 34, told author Ramin Setoodeh (her friend and former editor) that she didn’t think the president — an unusually polarizing politician — was the reason The View had drawn strong ratings.“That I don’t concede to. Everyone is like, ‘Oh, you’re popular because Trump.’ I think everyone is more interested in politics,” she said. “Young women are different now than when I was younger. Everyone is involved, civically engaged, and informed. I think that’s also why the show is doing so well.”“I think the reason I worked and other Republicans didn’t is because I’m the first real Republican that they hired,” McCain said.And she knows how that sounds: “Yes, I think I’m more of a Republican than Elisabeth is.” Speaking with Setoodeh, she could hardly name other conservative co-hosts before her: “Nicolle Wallace changed parties. Candace Cameron was a social conservative. I don’t remember the other people who were on here.”Since joining The View in October 2017, McCain has often the panel’s most conservative voice and its most visible Trump critic, especially as the president has continued to disparage her father, the late Arizona Sen. John McCain, who died of brain cancer last summer.“He [Trump] knows it and I know it and all of you know it — he will never be a great man,” Meghan said on the show last month. “My father was his kryptonite in life, he’s his kryptonite in death.”Describing her own politics, Meghan has described herself as “a conservative first and foremost.”“I’m a small government, America-first conservative,” she said on The View in February. “What is being presented to me on the alternative side is too radical for me.”In Ladies Who Punch, she compared that certainty of belief to others who had come and gone on the show.“I was born in this environment. I don’t want to be a Democrat,” she said. “I think there were a lot of people they hired that are in the mushy middle, or they are Republicans who are ashamed of being Republicans — or they are intimidated.”Meghan told Setoodeh she was somewhat reluctant to take The View job, given its history of getting rid of hosts who aren’t working out. But her father “convinced me to do it.” (A call to View moderator Whoopi Goldberg also helped: “I called her before I accepted,” Meghan said. “I asked her if she thought I could do this.”)And while she said she “thought I was getting fired for a long time,” she’s been happy to be proven wrong.“I hope it’s in my obituary that I was the first Republican since Elisabeth Hasselbeck to survive more than one season on The View,” she said. “It’s one of my proudest moments.”That includes her noted verbal altercations with fellow panelist Joy Behar.“I love sparring with her,” Meghan said in Ladies Who Punch. “We’re like boxers; we punch gloves and then we’re out.”

In general I think people are coming around to Trump not being an incompetent boob who surrounds himself with grifters just fucking everything up, but that there is a now a very clear and intentional attempt to circumvent the rule of law and government apparatuses.
