Fighting back against the House Republican conspiracy theorists and conservative and state media propagandists.
Breitbart chose to illustrate a story about DACA recipients with…an image of MS-13 gang members taken in El Salvador? (They’ve repeatedly used misleading images like this to stoke anti-immigrant fear.)
Breitbart, part of the Trump Intelligence Network, #TITNET
A false claim that Black Lives Matter activists blocked Hurricane Harvey relief efforts has gone viral on several large conservative Facebook pages. The stories use a false headline and photo to trick readers into clicking through to a story that has nothing to do with Black Lives Matter.
The two false articles, from Mr. Conservative and Conservative Post, have identical headlines and use an image taken in 2015 in Boston as their thumbnail.
People who click through are presented with an article that reports on a real protest from members of the Texas Young Democrats. They held signs and protested President Trump when he arrived in Austin, Texas to show support for those affected by Hurricane Harvey.
As of this writing, the stories had racked up more than 120,000 shares, reactions, and comments on Facebook after being shared by more than 10 pages that collectively have more than 12 million fans.
At some point after a tweet from a BuzzFeed News reporter about the fake story went viral, Mr. Conservative website removed all of its content. But that didn’t stop Conservative Post form publishing a copycat article the same day.
Meanwhile, the reality is that Black Lives Matter Houston has been active in relief efforts by collecting food for shelters, gathering school supplies for kids who start classes soon, and bringing food and supplies to families and individuals.
The type of stuff you would see at Breitbart, FOX News cable. The guy with the vette is a hard core Trump lover with his Trump luv dolls heading to the sheep ranch for a Trump luvin with his brousins.
Hannity wasn't always on the Trump train, but like other conspiracy theory cultists like Alex Jones, Breitbart, Mark Levin and Limbaugh, they go which ever way the political winds of conservative crap blows. As for those who believe any of the utter nonsense and “deep state” dribble emitted from their vomit holes? Well let's just say their cookie jars aren't quite full.
#FakeNews Official from the White House, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, encourages everyone to watch a political hacktivist's fake and doctored video as she is parroting Trump's Hitleresque attacks on the press and 1st Amendment to our Constitution.
Fake film creater O'Keefe you may recall was paid $10,000.00 by the Trump Foundation in May of 2015. [https://thinkprogress.org/trump-funded-james-okeefe-53015c2f44b6] O'Keefe's Project Veritas created fake propaganda videos aimed at damaging Hillary Clinton's campaign and the reputation of then sitting President-Barack Obama by making false accusations. This was in conjunction with the attack on our Country and our democratic electoral process by the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin by planting damaging fake news on the Kremlin controlled outlets such as Sputnik and RT America, then picked up by U.S. fake news broadcasters and conservative media such as Fox News Cable, Breitbart and other alt-right, neo-Nazi and white supremacists catering fake news sources and conservative talk radio hosts like Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh, and the outrageous lunatic Alex Jones. Even many MSM outlets jumped on the bogus reports and helped spread them.
O'Keefe also has ties to Steve Bannon and billionaire hedge funder Robert Mercer and his daughter who were the main dark money donors to Cruz, and then the Trump campaigns and Super PACs. Mercer and Bannon are also principals in the Cambridge Analytica psychographics firm that violated the privacy of millions of Americans on social media by profiling them and their friends and followers so they could target them with misleading pro-Trump and anti-Clinton propaganda, in unison with Putin's attack on the U.S. [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/11/senator-ted-cruz-president-campaign-facebook-user-data?CMP=share_btn_tw]
In a last ditch effort of desperation, Karen Handel, Republican candidate for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District, turns to a dark state alt-right publication with ties to Steve Bannon that caters to neo-Nazis, KKK, and white supremacists. They are known for their ultra conservative views and fake news. They have lost 90% of their advertisers in a 2 month period according to this Washington Post article.
Handel is opposed by Democrat Jon Ossoff. Ossoff supports a livable minimum wage while Handel has said “I do not support a liveable wage”. Ossoff has been running a campaign mainly on promoting fair wages with protections for business , economic development, education, protecting consumers our environment and healthcare, voting rights and what is important to Georgia and the district he will be representing. Handel has been a leader in voter suppression tactics according to Better Georgia.
Ossoff has inspired a grass roots movement across the nation showing he has wide support not only for his policies that will benefit Georgia and his district, but also his stand against the oppressive and deceitful policies of the current administration, cabinet and the Republican Party. Handel has raised a lower amount of funds, originally mainly from local donations but her campaign has seen an influx of dark money from GOP Super PACS who have been running misleading and negative ads, the same types as those started by the Russian state run propaganda outlets and carried on by the Republican propaganda machine in the 2016 General and down ticket elections like the Paul Ryan Super PAC that used Russian hacked information that was altered. A pro-Trump non-profit political activist group has even been using altered sound bites from President Obama in negative radio ads. The current dweller of the White House has also been Tweeting untruthful statements against Ossoff.
#Ossoff stands for fair taxes for everyone and a bi-partisan healthcare plan. Handel supports Trump’s plan to drastically cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans which is how he can justify gutting our State Department, cutting consumer protections, cutting out environmental protections and gutting healthcare for women and children, the elderly, the low income Americans, and those on Medicaid which includes many of our Veterans. Handel supports the AHCA which so far has been a “failed before it even started” disaster. Trump even called the RyanCare House version of TrumpCare “mean” after saying how great it was. Now the “dirty dozen plus 1″ GOP Senate McConnell pack of jackals is trying to slap together another version and try to weasel it through without review and hearings. Handel supports repealing the ACA which will take healthcare away from millions of Americans.

The magpie always gives itself away with its noisy chatter.
The District of Columbia police say Rich, who was shot in the back at 4 a.m. near his home in northwest Washington, was the victim of a botched robbery.
The Trump enablers like Gingrich and Hannity and conspiracy theorist media like FOX News cable, Infowars, Breitbart, and false front Non-profit conservative political activists like Judicial Watch, pro-Trump activist groups and even the Russian Embassy UK and Julien Assange are all trying to deflect from the #TrumpRussia investigations into the #KremlinConnection with the 2016 Trump campaign officials, Trump himself, and the attack on our democratic election process by Putin and his network of “useful idiots” (all of the above) propagating his propaganda.
Who is the coordinator of this effort, Trump, his counsel, Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, David Bossie, Robert Mercer, Assange, maybe Vladimir Putin himself? Although there is no definitive answer one way or the other, they would like you to believe the death of DNC staffer Seth Rich is the responsibility of someone in the DNC or in connection with the Hillary Clinton campaign as a punishment or revenge. Pretty weak argument.
If Seth Rich did indeed pass information to Assange as an espionage messenger it would make much more sense given all the evidence pointing to Kremlin interference into our election, and the ongoing Republican efforts (including Trump shills and pundits) to crush Hillary Clinton that it was a concerted effort or a conveniently incidental effort. If a leaker or messenger was silenced who would be more likely to be the silencer, the victim of the messenger’s crime, or those who had the most to lose by being implicated or exposed by the messenger? Who would be more likely to make the most noise and try to point the finger in the other direction?
The magpie always gives itself away with its noisy chatter.
A Giuliani is finally joining the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump has brought on Andrew Giuliani, the son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, to work in the Office of Public Liaison and Intergovernmental Affairs, two sources familiar with the hire told POLITICO.
In his new post, Andrew Giuliani, who once dreamed of becoming a professional golfer, helped organize the Patriots’ upcoming visit to the White House after their come-from-behind Super Bowl victory, and also assisted First Lady Melania Trump’s staff during Trump’s speech before a joint session of Congress last week. The younger Giuliani has known the Trump family for years.
A White House spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Here comes the M.I.A. link for the #TITNET Trump Intel Network, with ties to a rogue FBI cell in New York, hedge fund billionaire Mercer-Super PAC-Kellyanne Conway-David Bosse-Breitbart-Steve Bannon-right wing activists- his law firm and security service and no doubt all his links to the alt-right and conspiracy theorists. Rudy has a little baggage too.
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is a long-standing tradition and symbol of comity between the president and the press. It’s also for CHARITY and Trump is skipping out this year. The last president who didn’t attend was Reagan 36 years ago. His reason: he was recovering from an assassination attempt. Trump’s reason? He’s afraid of the press.
I’m curious to hear his formal excuse. Whatever it is, I bet he’ll sneak away to Mar-a-lago for another weekend of golf. It seems so nice to have the luxury of escaping reality.
Of course Trump will not be attending The White House Correspondent’s Dinner. He would rather collude with #altright Breitbart and other #FakeNews conspiracy theory media and RT Moscow run media.
Remember when Donald Trump said Hillary Clinton was sleeping while the attack on our Consulate in Benghazi was under way on November 11, 2012? That was a lie, one lie among others started by alt-right fake news sites like Breitbart (Steve Bannon), GatewayPundit, and FOX News cable, and the Republicans on the Benghazi Committee, and Ted Cruz, and it was just one of many lies told by our most unpopular illigitimate president in history. While our Special Ops Team was conducting a raid in Yemen, resulting in the death of one of our decorated Navy Seals, and wounding 4 more along with a reported high civilian death toll, Trump was Tweeting that he would be having an interview on The Brody File of the Christian Broadcasting Network instead of being in the Situation Room like a credible Commander in Chief would have been. The operation was botched by the Trump regime from the beginning and they attempted to lie and blame the operation on the Obama Administration as stated by Trump’s Propaganda Minister Sean Spicer. As it turns out, instead of green lighting the operation with the National Security Team, Trump gave the go ahead from a dinner meeting with Steve Bannon, son-in-law Jared Kushner and others.
#Murica doesn’t do history. Now that the generation that faced WWII has mostly died off and there’s nobody alive to tell the tale of their years through it, we have to rely on documented history to get lessons to learn from. Between treating it like a necessary evil in school and not implementing critical thinking skills, the generations that followed have no clue of the horrors of those days, how and why they happened, and how it’s playing out in our own nation right here, right now. We were warned, and we did not listen. Those who had did what they could and said what they could, but it clearly wasn’t enough.
When the horrors of fascism are forgotten and merely relegated to the seldom picked up history books it is not hard to see how people are blind to the rise of fascism under the Trump regime. Is Donald Trump a full blown fascist? Probably not, he would not be an Alpha-Fascist but more of a Beta-Fascist, with many fascist traits and ideology. What is alarming is who he is associated with, Bannon, Miller, Giuliani with his rogue FBI contacts, the white supremacist and neo-nazi fringe right factions, and his billionaire backers and their associated political activists and propaganda machine which included FOX News cable, Breitbart News, Alex Jones, and of course the radical right wing theocrats and those in their fold, many of whom are comparable to the radical jihadists. Jo Cox was murdered by a man with links to neo-Nazi and fascist groups. Britain was warned about the risk of far-right violence. Something has to change. We know that Mair is reported by a number of witnesses to have shouted “Britain first” as he murdered the MP
Trump’s not Hitler, he’s Mussolini: How GOP anti-intellectualism created a modern fascist movement in America
For the past 18 months Donald Trump had campaigned using demagoguery, fear mongering, discord and intolerance and mendaciousness. Most notable was his “Build the Wall” and antagonistic rhetoric toward Mexico and his rhetoric of banning Muslims from entering the United States. His profiling all Muslims including refugees as “radical Islamic terrorists” along with many of the other 16 Republican Presidential candidates, especially Ted Cruz, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Dr. Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, and other notables like Sean Hannity from FOX News cable, Rudy Giuliani, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, and Newt Gingrich.
Donald Trump’s EXECUTIVE ORDER: PROTECTING THE NATION FROM FOREIGN TERRORIST ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES bars citizens of 7 countries, primarily Muslim, from entering the U.S. in the name of protecting the U.S. from terrorists and “very bad guys”. Those countries are Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. No American has been killed in the U.S. by citizens from any of those countries between 1975 and 2015, according to statistics from the conservative-leaning Cato Institute. There have been 3 non-lethal attacks in the US, one in 2006 by an Iranian born naturalized U.S. citizen, and in 2016 two incidents involving Somalis, one 18 year old refugee attending Ohio State University, and another 20 year old St. Cloud MN resident who moved to the U.S. as a child; both attackers were killed by police.
Donald Trump has no business dealings in those 7 countries.
3,000 Americans have been killed in the U.S. by citizens from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, most of them during the 9-11 attack. These countries are not included in Trump’s ban. Donald Trump does have business dealings with those countries as well as in Turkey.
While Donald Trump clearly called his executive order a “ban”, and his Propaganda Minister Sean Spicer has also referred to it as a “ban”, both deny it being any kind of ban. They and Trump and GOP Shills and pundits deny it is targeted at Muslims, and they deny it has any relation to religious practice. Trump when asked said there would be preference given to Christian Muslim refugees from the predominantly Islamic countries. Trump’s Chief AltFacts Spinstress Kellyanne Conway, VP Pence, FOX News characters, Spicer, and all other Trump justifiers claim Trump has fulfilled his campaign promises, one being to ban Muslims from entering the U.S.
Is a ban a ban when certain groups are restricted from entry? Or is a ban not a ban if the banner denies it being a ban? Could a ban not be a ban if it is alternatively called vetting; that could be considered an AltFact. Or if reported by FOX News or any number of the Donald’s other favorite fake news sources like Breitbart, Infowars and The National Enquirer, it could be altered facts.
Two sure fire ways, if it says FOX News, Sean Hannity, Judge Jeanine, Breitbart, InfoWars, AngryPatriot
Trump had 1 reserved seat for his “press conference” campaign rally, right in front of the table loaded with a pile of fake corporate paper folders prop. That seat was for a reporter from the ultra alt-right, neo-Nazi, white supremist fake news reporting site Brightbutt News. Trump in a Nazi like manner has been condemning and demonizing the news media just like Hitler and Nixon did.
The 2016 Presidential campaign will bring a new insight into mental disorders, symptoms and classification. When the next version of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) comes out they will have cause to include another "cluster" for Personality Disorders; perhaps Trumpological disorder. The Donald presents an interesting case study which could include narcissism; pathological lying; projectionism; glorifying megalomaniacs; pedophelic comments to minor girl children that someday they could be dating him, a 70 year old man; obsession with leading opinion polls including making up positive results when negative; claiming victory in debates when clearly the loser; obsessive compulsive Tweeting; taking credit for accomplishments of others; juvenile bullying and namecalling to eliminate an adult opponent; aligning himself with and surrounding himself with those with similar traits including dishonesty, normalizing dishonesty and corruption, and psychopathic behavior; a perverted obsession with conspiracy theory, fake news, false news reporting media such as FOX Cable News, Breitbart news, InfoWars, AngryPatriot and Alex Jones to name a few, and a compulsion to parrot such irrational nonsense. The Donald could be the poster child (geriatric) for a completely new personality disorder cluster with a yugely complex array of nutosia.
They didn’t “sit on it” they announced it in August. Republicans can’t be convinced to like Hillary Clinton even if u water bored them.
I’m just amazed that anyone voted for her. She’s anti black, woman, immigrant, and sovereignty.
Troll. Or bought the Bernie propaganda.
Hillary voted for immigration reform as Senator of New York. Bernie didn’t because he’s an NRA whore from Vermont. Gotta play politics to win, right? Hillary went undercover in South Carolina working for the Children’s Defense Fund, investigating African American children in adult jails. If you don’t know her work on behalf of women, you are a lost cause.
Her superpredator speech never happened, amirite? She definitely didn’t call a 12yo black girl a sexual predator to try and get her pro bono client off on a rape charge. There’s no way she vocalized a plan to bring 620k economic migrants from Syria, effectively halting legal immigration into the USA and crippling our social welfare programs.
The truth is that she’s subhuman filth and should’ve been imprisoned over her thousands of violations of national security which resulted in the deaths of CIA agents and assets in Iran and North Korea, not campaigning for president of the nation she’s been trying to destroy for the past 40 years.
What I find hilarious about the whole thing is that she was healthy and fit enough to run the country but now that she’s facing the very real threat of a lengthy and well deserved prison sentence she’s too sick to even face a hearing.
Hillary apologized for her comment (Bernie never apologized for his NRA support or vote for the ‘94 crime bill). Hillary supported her husband while First Lady. But we shouldn’t discount her work on behalf of African American children in adult jails while working for the Children’s Defense Fund.
As for Hillary’s rape case:
1) In the United Sates, everyone –no matter how abhorrent their crime– is entitled to a lawyer. 2) When Hillary asked to be removed from this case, she wasn’t. She then fulfilled her oath and obligation as a public defender to defend her client to the best of her ability. 3) The American justice system is built on the belief that it is the prosecutions responsibility to prove guilt – INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. Therefore, the prosecution team ruined this woman’s life, *NOT* Hillary. The blame is misplaced and is being used as character assassination against Hillary Clinton. Please stop exploiting this victim for political gain. 4) Clinton was laughing that her faith in polygraphs was forever destroyed after this case. Where exactly is she laughing at the victim!?!?!?!? Enough already. Hillary is a class-act. Trying to achieve results in a less than perfect system. Bernie yells. That’s it. Get over it and move on.
Her comments caused lasting damage, an apology doesn’t quite fix it.
Most people have an ethical limit to how far they’re willing to go to defend their client. Mine is just before calling a 12 year old girl a sexual predator, claiming that her promiscuity was an indication she wanted to be violently raped by a 40yo man. The best of their ability, to most lawyers, would’ve been to plea it out and try for a reduced sentence under protective custody because child rapists don’t do well in gen pop. I never said she was laughing, you’re copying a form reply meaning I’m not the only one who has this opinion of her. She also fought against making marital rape illegal, silenced the women her husband raped, and supported DOMA.
Bernie, like Killary, is an idiot. Neither of them deserve the presidency but she deserves to die in a cold cell. She’s changed her core beliefs so many times through her career that she probably doesn’t know what she stands for anymore.
There are people who were sent to prison at 18 years old because of security clearance violations. People with high school diplomas who were expected to understand national security classifications but breached them to warn of attacks and save lives.
She was Secretary of State and has 40+ years of government service, including as the first lady for 8 years, and through her massive incompetence or willful negligence has cost the lives of Americans and allied agents including the execution by rape and torture of a seated US Ambassador six months after he requested to close down the embassy or get more Marines to secure it based on actionable intelligence indicating an imminent attack, three months after every other Western embassy had packed it in.
That alone is enough to put most people in prison. Director Comey flat out stated that if it were anyone else they’d be in prison at the time of the hearing.
Hillary made her comments *AFTER* the crime bill had already passed. WTF? Hillary did her job as a public defender. That’s the American way. Accept it and move on. None of the allegations against the women are anything more than rumors and innuendo. Hillary worked on HIV/AIDS medicine as First Lady, adding LGBTQ to hate crime laws as New York Senator, and passed the first-ever gay rights U.N. Resolution as Secretary of State. Hillary kept us much safer as Secretary of State than the Bush Administration did (9/11/2001). Hillary even got Bin Laden. Comey determined that pressing charges was unwarranted.
beardedrebutterofafkar, Some people simply cannot get beyond the misinformation and believing bogus and twisted reporting from the conservative propaganda machine joined now by the paltry alt-right. The term “Super Predator” was not a term to describe Black Americans despite all the misinformation to the contrary. It was a term describing rampant juvenile criminals, drugs, gangs and thugs, not race specific. That phrase was coined in 1994 by John J. DiIulio Jr. who later became a Bush aide, not by Hillary Clinton, and it was used pretty loosely in the media of that era. Her use of the phrase when campaigning for Bill Clinton’s second term was in relation to the same juvenile criminals, gangs and thugs, and again, not directed at Black Americans specifically. That was a lie no doubt initiated by hedge fund billionaire and Republican activist, Robert Mercer and his Republican Super Pac to support the Ted Cruz presidential campaign which was run by KellyAnne Conway, current Trump Campaign Manager, and Ted Cruz and picked up by Republicans during the 2015-2016 presidential race and pushed by the likes of Donald Trump, Pence, Rudy Giuliani, Black Lives Matter member Ashley Williams, and then spread by trashy alt-right sites like Breitbart, conservative radio hosts and websites, Sean Hannity and FOX News cable and pundits. Bob Dole and other Republicans also used the phrase "super predators" during their presidential runs in 1996. Regarding Kathy Shelton and the rape case when she was 12, you are misinformed on that as well. Her “stories” have been inconsitent from the start, such as her claim that she was forced to take a polygraph test and a psychiatric evaluation, denied by the court. Supposedly the 41 year old guy who “allegedly” raped her, Tom Taylor, was a friend of Shelton’s family, not disclosed by her in anything I have seen including her GoFundMe page where her story has changed 3 times. She also has referred to the 15 year old kid as one of the “men who attacked me” and she doesn’t disclose that she had sex with him in Taylor’s truck and after he got out that is when Taylor took over. She also said she was out riding her bicycle, to church no less, when they jumped out and grabbed her, instead of joy riding with them and drinking whiskey cokes, spent some time at the bowling alley, and more. She also doesn’t mention there was a third guy, a 20 year old, supposedly a cousin to Taylor, which is confirmed by court documents, previously thought to have been lost. She also says in her GoFundMe page that she lost conciousness in the hospital and woke up 5 days later, not corroborated anywhere else. In the audio recording of Hillary Clinton describing the case some years later, her "laughter" was at the fact that Taylor passed a lie detector test and Hillary knew he was guilty. She said that "it forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs" [laughter]. That is not the same narrative that the Republicans, Trump, and shills have stated, or what Shelton has been told. Taylor may have been charged yet with rape instead of a lower plea bargain charge of fondling of a minor if Shelton’s defense team had not lost the evidence, a cut-out part of Taylor’s underwear that would have had the blood and semen on it. As far as the rest of it, you are simply repeating all the same misinformation that Trump is repeating, much of it lies and talking points he is taking from his primary opponents, and false information from the Republican Senate, and House, Benghazi and Clinton Emails committees that they continue to spread despite being debunked, Brightbutt News, FOX News and pundits, and the rest of the fake news and tabloid class conservative conspiracy theorist’s publications. Most of it is outright b.s., and the rest is distortions of facts. You appear to be an intelligent person, just a little misinformed. Don’t let them make a fool of you, please do research and get the facts and drop the myths.
