Quote :

"Federal authorities raided the office of Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy last summer, seeking records related to his dealings with foreign officials and Trump administration associates, according to a sealed search warrant obtained by ProPublica. Agents were authorized to use the megadonor's hands and face to unlock any phones that required fingerprint or facial scans. The Washington Post reported in August that the Justice Department was investigating Broidy. The sealed warrant offers new details of federal authorities' investigation of allegations that Broidy had attempted to cash in on his Trump White House connections in dealings with foreign officials. It also shows that the government took a more aggressive approach with the Trump ally than was previously known, entering his office and removing records — just as it did with Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen. Broidy served as a major Trump campaign fundraiser and was the national deputy finance chair of the Republican National Committee until he resigned in April 2018, when it was revealed he had agreed to secretly pay off a former Playboy model in exchange for her silence about their affair. The search warrant cites three potential crimes that authorities are investigating: conspiracy, money laundering and violations of the law barring covert lobbying on behalf of foreign officials. To obtain a search warrant, authorities have to convince a judge that there's a probable cause they will find evidence of those specific crimes."

Just so I’m straight this isnt the finance chair who was fired from his job for sexual assault? Nor the one going to jail for perjury? It’s the guy who extorted the woman he provided an abortion for, right?

Not a week goes by where there isn’t some dipshit conservative spouting a “novel argument” that is so dumb it literally insults the audience.

I know some intelligent conservatives that tend to laugh it off, compartmentalize it, or dismiss it as the rube side of the party, but god damn, it insults the intelligence is what it does, and it’s fucking constant from the GOP

it's because AOC said that a lot of people in her generation are afraid to have kids, he's insulting her for being unmarried and childless

mostly social media. she had a website that criticized trump and republicans but didn't get any traction so she latched onto the gamergate movement and then decided she could make more money from white conservatives by making a website that promotes black conservatism. she's been on infowars, but that was after she was already a thing.

Snl is so bumbling and milquetoast with their political humor. Just absolutely refusing to make a statement. Trying to please everyone even though their entire cast and most of their audience trends one way and the other side will never come along. Trump is a villain but everyone else is just a normal Joe fighting with difficult circumstances.

That shit was classic bowing to bad faith attacks and amplifying a dirtbag.

Yeah his twitter is routinely filled with completely idiotic statements

I’m fascinated that AOC gets constantly harassed for extremely minor misstatements, and sometimes correctly stated things. Meanwhile Dan is constantly saying idiotic things but is not painted as naive and ignorant.

I’m not sure if this shows how the media treats young women differently, or the double standards against left leaning politicians.

Quote :

"In a directive, [President] Trump ordered the C.I.A. and the country's 15 other intelligence agencies to cooperate with the review and granted [Attorney General] Barr the authority to unilaterally declassify their documents. The move — which occurred just hours after the president again declared that those who led the investigation committed treason — gave Mr. Barr immense leverage over the intelligence community and enormous power over what the public learns about the roots of the Russia investigation."

Quote :

"One official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss classified matters, said previously that Mr. Barr wanted to know more about what foreign assets the C.I.A. had in Russia in 2016 and what those informants were telling the agency about how President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia sought to meddle in the 2016 election."

Republicans would be losing it if a Democratic president had issued a similar executive order.
