journalistic work of this quality? As in completely shit and made up? :mumble:

 

Please don't make this thread a live feed of whatever BS Trump tweets about.

It would be teriibly entertaining if it wasn't for the people actually listening to him.

I don’t usually share his tweet, but the moment he talks about about my profession and state in the same day, I’m going to address it. I’ll refrain for sharing more of his tweets though.

Iraqi protestors have scaled the walls of the Iranian consulate in Karbala. The Iranian flag has been replaced with a Iraqi one, and video shows part of the consulate campus burning.

Holy flying fuck.

 

Quote

According to Cockburn’s source about the seven whistleblowers, there’s more. It is that Kushner (allegedly) gave the green light to MBS to arrest the dissident journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, who was later murdered and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. A second source tells Cockburn that this is true and adds a crucial twist to the story. This source claims that Turkish intelligence obtained an intercept of the call between Kushner and MBS. And President Erdogan used it to get Trump to roll over and pull American troops out of northern Syria before the Turks invaded. Cockburn hears that investigators for the House Intelligence Committee know this whole tale and the identities of some of the people telling it. Whether any of is true is another matter but Adam Schiff certainly seems to be smiling a lot these days.

Huge night for left! We’ve won the governorship in Kentucky!!! We also managed to flip both Virginia state houses, and run a competitive race in Mississippi.

Well, there’s only two so it’s not hard :p. The Democratic Party. There was an independent who got 2% in the Kentucky election :lol:

You said "left". Democratic party is centrist-liberal at most. No left in any sense ?

At this point I’d say 40% (at most) is centrist 40% is liberal and 20% is socialist/anarchist/green. That bottom percentage is growing. The Democratic Party could be 30% socialist/anarchist/green by the 2022 elections.
