Trump Tweets Iran Threat To Try To Distract Us from Russia

Fox and Friends: We Could Wipe Out Iran with the Push of a Button
On Fox and Friends on Monday, the President Trump‘s favorite morning show had a different reaction to his overnight an all-caps warning to Iran than some of the other networks. Very different, in fact.

Iran should be safe as long as they stop the verbal threats and just launch a cyberattack to interfere in our election. - Jess Dweck

SCOTUS Nominee Was A Leaker For Ken Starr
President Donald Trump has waged war on leakers — but in nominating Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, the president has picked someone well-versed in the swampy art of off-the-record briefings and anonymous quotes.
Kavanaugh spent nearly four years working for Kenneth Starr’s independent counsel probe of President Bill Clinton two decades ago. A sampling of the Starr office’s internal files available at the National Archives indicate Kavanaugh helped craft aspects of Starr’s communications strategy and interacted directly with the news media himself.

Subject: What did McConnell know and when did he know it?

Hi Lisa,

Crooks and Liars ran a story titled, “McConnell Admits He Knew About 2016 Russian Hack, Did Nothing.”

I think McConnell knew about Russia’s planned involvement in the election much earlier than September 2016.  I think he knew as early as February 2016, when Scalia died.  That’s why he refused to advance Merrick Garland’s nomination to the Supreme Court until after the election.


J. P. Morgan used to say that a man often had two reasons for doing whatever he did: “the one that sounds good and the real one.”

With the Garland nomination, the reason that sounded good was that the voters deserved a say in who was elevated to the Court.  But at the time, Hillary Clinton looked like a shoo-in for President no matter who the Republican nominee was.  So sitting on the Garland nomination looked like it was only delaying the inevitable.

Another reason that sounded good was that McConnell hated Obama and wanted to thwart him at every turn.

The real reason McConnell sat on the Garland nomination could well be that he knew the Russians were planning some kind of cyber-involvement in the election that would give the GOP a fighting chance at winning.  He may not have known what they were planning – at that point he didn’t even know who the nominee would be – but he knew the Russians would have a thumb on the scale in favor of the GOP.

That’s all he needed to know to hold up the Garland nomination.

And how would McConnell have known about potential Russian involvement as early as February 2016?  I don’t know, but I bet Wayne LaPierre knows.  I bet Maria Butina knows.  I bet Aleksandr Torshin knows.

And I bet Robert Mueller is going to find out.

What Is Going On With NYT's Maggie Haberman? She Is Too Cozy With Trump For Comfort. Maybe Because Her Mom's Company Does PR For Jared Kushner? 
New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman on Sunday said President Trump "often tells the truth," and cautioned against reading too far into the president's motives.
Speaking to Brian Stelter on CNN's "Reliable Sources," Haberman said it is often a waste of time for people to "constantly [be] surprised" or look "for some deeper motive behind everything" Trump says or does.




This Tweet pretty much sums up Maggie and the NYT's coverage of Hillary's campaign

I for one welcome our new Turnip Overlords

Study: NY Times, Wash. Post quote more than twice as many Republicans as Democrats in political coverage
Throughout May and June, two of the nation’s leading newspapers, The New York Times and The Washington Post, quoted Republicans at more than twice the rate of Democrats in their political news coverage.
In an analysis of the papers’ news and political coverage during May and June, Media Matters found that the Times quoted 1,466 Republicans and 611 Democrats, a ratio of approximately 2.4 Republicans for every Democrat. The Post quoted 1,403 Republicans and 615 Democrats, for a ratio of approximately 2.3 Republicans for every Democrat.


It was the same with the coverage of Bill Clinton during his presidency. Tim Russert led the way during those days.

Bill Clinton almost lost his job as POTUS for lying about an affair. 
Trump has lied about several affairs, and Michael Cohen had a tape that proves it. 
Dear GOP: Practice what you impeach. - OhNoSheTwint

White House Staffers Are Depressed
White House staffers who initially planned to leave their jobs after the midterm elections are considering getting out sooner because of President Donald Trump’s performance during a press conference with Vladimir Putin Monday, and his fumbled attempts to clean up his remarks ever since.






What if we're looking at it wrong? What if it isn't a case of Republicans refusing to stand up to Putin? What if we've already been invaded and conquered and Putin has installed Trump and GOP as the ruling power, meaning from here on out, democracy is an illusion.- Sally Albright

Don Jr.'s New Gal Quits Fox To Stump A Trump
It appears that Kimberly Guilfoyle is on her way out at Fox News…
Vanity Fair‘s Gabriel Sherman first reported the news, based on three sources, that the longtime host is departing the network after more than a decade. She joined in 2006, and served as a host on a series of shows, from Outnumbered to, most recently, The Five.
According to ABC News, Guilfoyle is expected to join America First, a pro-Trump Super PAC.










Senator Strongarm
The Senate GOP leader is vowing to squeeze Democrats with a vote on Brett Kavanaugh right before the midterms if they don’t back down on their demand for documents.
