Ari Melber

Not a huge fan of "thought experiments," but imagine this *same* news, and the national reaction, applied to other people in the *same* positions:

'Obama tries to prosecute McCain'

'Clinton tries to prosecute Dole'

'Bush tries to prosecute Gore'

"You build an imaginary bridge over the imaginary river."

Kurt Andersen

To *really* bond with Trump, Putin should tell him about the time Nikita Kruschev gave this advice to Richard Nixon: "If the people believe there's an imaginary river out there, you don't tell them there's no river there. You build an imaginary bridge over the imaginary river."

What if the next time we get a Donald Trump in this country, it will be someone who can read

My greatest fear is that the next time we get a Donald Trump in this country, it will be someone who can read. Which is why we must do the work of healing our diseased body politic, not just Band-Aiding the festering boil that is Trump.

Fugelsang takes on Dinesh.....not evenly matched..

Dinesh D'Souza

So Chief Justice John Roberts thinks judges bring no political bias to their cases. Yes, that is the world as it ought to be. But it is not the world as it is. Is this dude just naive? How does our side end up with all the dummies?

John Fugelsang Retweeted Dinesh D'Souza

Pastor who railed against 'gun-free zones' shot woman in the head after she refused sex with him

Pastor who railed against ‘gun-free zones’ shot woman in the head after she refused sex with him: police

A one-time pastor in Missouri known for going on social media rants against “gun-free zones” this week was arrested after he allegedly tried forcing three women to have sex with him — and shot one of them in the head after she refused.

USA Today reports that police say 53-year-old Thomas Bruce this week went into a Catholic Supply store, drew a gun, and forced three women working there to go with him into a back room.


After they went with them, he ordered them to “perform deviant sexual acts on him,” police allege.

One of the women refused to give in to his demands, which was when Bruce allegedly killed her with a shot to the head. This prompted the other two women to begin complying with his requests, and Bruce eventually fled the scene.

Police arrested Bruce on Wednesday and charged him with murder, sodomy and kidnapping.

According to USA Today, Bruce’s rants about gun control had continued right up until the time he allegedly kidnapped the three women.

Just last week, for example, he called for abolishing gun-free zones on the grounds that “we should stop expecting criminals to follow the rules.”

How to take Trump down:'They're going after him with a hatchet'..CIA on DEMS plans...

Ex-CIA officer claims he’s flooded with requests from Democrats on how to take Trump down: ‘They’re going after him with a hatchet’


Appearing on CNN on Friday morning to address Donald Trump’s defense of the Saudi cover-up of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, an intelligence and security analyst said Democratic House members are ready to come after the president over possible financial entanglements with the Middle Eastern nation.

Speaking with host Jim Sciutto, former CIA case officer Robert Baer said he is already being flooded with calls from the newly empowered Democrats who will chair and hold majority positions of the House committees with the power to investigate Trump.


“The Saudi foreign minister already parroted back the president’s doubts about the CIA assessment [of the murder],” Sciutto began. “We are in a different situation because you have Democrats taking over the House.”

“That gives Democrats powerful chairmanships of committees, and we have Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) now who will be the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee saying, among the things, that he wants the committee to investigate is whether Trump Organization has financial ties in Saudi Arabia that is influencing the president’s decision here,” the CNN host continued. “How impactful could an investigation like that be?”

“Oh, Jim, it’s going to be huge,” Baer enthused. “I have already gotten e-mails this morning from Congress asking who should they put in front of committees.”

“They’re going to come after this president with hatchets, these Democrats,” he explained. “They’re going to uncover a lot of financial connections that go back years. I mean, essentially Russia and Saudi Arabia floated, you know, the Trump property empire in its bad times — a lot of investments from the royal family, current ones I don’t know.”

“But that’s certainly going to go on, these hearings, for the next two years, you can count on it,” he assured the CNN host.

Overconsumption in a capitalist society is hailed as a virtue...

I have purchased some radical T shirts from ALLRIOT...after hearing the media report today that Americans will spend ONE TRILLION on Xmas gifts...and getting properly nauseous....thought I would pass this along....from ALLRIOT..

Hey Jody,

Overconsumption in a capitalist society is hailed as a virtue.
Be a good citizen! Support the economy! Don’t miss a bargain!

Here’s the thing…

Yes, capitalism is a greedy monster, but the truth is that it relies on our own ignorance and greed to survive.

Don’t feed the monster, and it will die a slow death. This Black Friday, we urge you skip the madness. Spend time with family and friends. Buy nothing or buy local. Shop with thought and buy with love. Support independent retailers and social enterprises.

We shape our world with the purchasing decisions we make on a daily basis. We have the power to kill the Corps and we give it away every time we choose them over small enterprises and local businesses.

It starts and ends with YOU.

Corporations are not as powerful as they want us to believe. This Black Friday, we urge you not to trade your unique power for so-called “bargains”. It's not a good deal.

Thanks for reading the rant!
