Fake Fox News, All The Fake News All The Time.
It is no secret, well documented by the U.S. Intelligence Community, that they “reasonably assess” that under possible Kremlin direction the internet and social media outlets were unindated with pro-Trump and anti-Hillary propaganda by Russian state controlled propaganda outlets like RT, RT America, Sputnik, Pravda, botnets, and an ever growing list of “useful idiots” that helped propagate #fakenews. That would include many conservative websites, talk radio pundits, and Fox News cable show hosts, specifically Hannity, Pirro, Carlson, The Five, and Fox And Friends.
Rachel @maddow discusses reports by Time’s Massimo Calabresi, Axios, Bloomberg, McClatchy, Washington Post and others regarding Facebook disclosing information on Russian interference in the 2016 election and using Facebook (and other social media platforms) to target members with pro-Trump and anti-Hillary propaganda.
Maddow poses the question of domestic participants not only in the information being posted as well as the targeting of the audience. Anyone who has ever seen posts, or have received spam emails, messages, etc., from non-English speaking sources knows the grammar and phoenetics are a dead giveaway they are not from English speaking origins. It would be reasonalble to question if there were domestic participants in the production and dissemination of this propaganda if it was indeed well written.
The question of demographics and targeting is also a valid one and a reasonable source of such weaponry could be Jared Kushner’s “Stealth Data Machine”. Some circles credit Kushner for Trump’s overtaking other Republican nominees and his eventual “unpopular vote” win of the White House along with Trump campaign Digital Director Brad Parscale. Kushner had access to the Republican National Committee's voter database. Quite useful for targeting and cementing the Republican voter base, especially those who were really not fond of Trump but anti-Democrat and anti-Hillary due to the amount of #fakenews put out on her and the Republican Party’s campaign of their own #fakenews and twisting of facts surrounding Benghazi and her private email server.
Kushner also teamed up with Cambridge Analytica, a pshycographic data firm that built comprehensive pshycological and personality profiles on millions of Facebook users to target them with pin-point propaganda and disinformation aimed at getting Trump elected and discrediting Clinton. Sound familiar? The exact thing Putin was doing. Cambridge Analytica was also involved in the Ted Cruz campaign (prior to Trump), and with Brexit.
When you talk about Cambridge Analytica you must also add reference to billionaire hedge funder Robert Mercer who was one of Trump’s biggest funders (after Cruz dropped out) and Steve Bannon, who was former head of Breitbart News (and now back there again after getting kicked out of the White House). Both Mercer and Bannon had financial ties to Cambridge Analytica and Glittering Steel, the production company that helped produce the discredited Clinton Cash (book of lies) and subsequent video by political hack Peter Schweitzer. Mercer also helped fund James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas fake sting videos, as did Trump Foundation with a $10,000 donation 1 month before Trump jumped in the ring. Other notables with Mercer/Bannon/Breitbart ties who wound up in the Trump camp and White House are Kellyanne Conway and David Bossie (Citizens United ties).
OK, connect the dots. Timelines seem to follow a certain trail that starts before the 2016 campaign with a lot of stops between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign, campaign officials, Trump and company, Trump and family.
If you were let’s say an agent for Putin, and you wanted to be able to conduct a campaign to discredit Hillary Clinton, who Putin despises and accuses of trying to undermine his rigged election, and you wanted to try to put a Putin loving puppet in the highest office in the United States, and make it sound and look like it was originating from the U.S., and you wanted to effectively target American citizens based on their beliefs, preferences, fears and weaknesses, you would need detailed information on those American citizens. Who would fit that profile, who would be able to fill that bill? Jared Kushner with his Stealth Data Machine, and Cambridge Analytica, both linked to the Trump campaign, and the alt-right cult culture and fake news syndicate revolving around Breitbart and donors. FAST FORWARD TO MARCH, 2018 Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica in major data breach

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.
The DumbingOfAmerica brought to you by Fox News Cable and the religious right conservative media. Reagan called them “The Evil Empire”. Trump refuses to fully admit they committed an act of war, Cyber War, on our country, our Democracy, and our democratic process of election. I think Trump’s refusal to admit that Putin and the Kremlin threatened our sovereignty and assaulted our country makes him an accomplise, whether wittingliy or unwittingly is yet to be determined. Fox News Cable, being one of Putin’s “useful idiots” who propagated the Kremlin’s #FakeNews plants and now helping Trump to convice his base that Putin is a good guy makes them complicit accomplices in Putin’s attack on our country.
#FakeNews heading.
The question was why did Sessions not disclose his meetings with Russian officials in his documents he filled out for his confirmation as Attorney General, and then lie and say he had no communication with any Russian officials during his confirmation hearing, a question that was never even asked of him. He was asked what he would do as Attorney General if it was found that someone from the Trump campaign had contact or connections with Russian officials (which is already a proven fact). Sessions again lied today when he said he didn't lie to the MN Senator when asked if he had any communication with Russian officials during his confirmation hearing; a question that was never asked of him, he just volunteered that answer. Guilty concience? Probably, since it was proven after he said he had no communications with Russians during his confirmation hearing that he indeed did have contact with the Russian Ambassador on two occasions, and as brought up today, possibly a third time, which also was not disclosed by him in his documentation for his confirmation.
Look at the comments from the sheep with the wool over their eyes who blindly follow the TweetnFuhrer, just like the unsuspecting citizens of Germany followed, praised, and idolized Hitler, in the beginning, before their eyes were opened.

Hillary has literally never been charged with a crime or found guilty of anything. Ever.
Y'all she literally kept an illegal email system in her home that others could hack since she wasn’t on a secure system like the White House.
Also, she lied to the families of people who died in Benghazi about it being about a YouTube video when it was really a planned attack that she was warned about of the eventuality from said people in Benghazi.
Please don’t put down Republicans by erasing the failures of thier opposites.
1. It wasn’t an “illegal” e-mail system. It was originally set up for former President Bill Clinton. Nothing illegal about it. It was set up for a former President and there was no law against using a private server. In retrospect, was it a good idea optically? No. But it wasn’t illegal.
Oh and Hillary’s server had no evidence of hacking. On the contrary, the government servers were confirmed to have been hacked. Ironic.
2. The YouTube video led to violence and protests across the entire region. That is a fact. Learn history. Now, was it the direct cause of Benghazi? No. Terrorist groups hijacked the YouTube protests and attacked our embassy. But Hillary didn’t purposefully lie about the YouTube video. It was originally thought to be the reason for all of the violence across the region until further investigations confirmed terrorist groups hijacked the YouTube protests for their own purposes.
But how is that anywhere near illegal or a crime? This post is about doing something illegal.
What law has Hillary ever been found guilty of breaking????
It never ceases to amaze me at how gullible some people are to believe all the nonsense put out by the conservative fake news fabricators, the completely dishonest alt fact spinners like the Republican lawmakers on the Benghazi and Clinton email committees and the #FakeNews leader, FOX News. Anyone who watched all the hearings including Comey’s testimony on the emails would be able to see how the GOPers twisted and spun fabrications and took bits and pieces of information out of context and spun deceitful soundbites. The worst part is how they tormented the families of our brave soldiers and diplomats with their lies for all these years and continue to rehash it preventing them from ever having closure.
Jason Chaffetz on #FOXNewsCable, the #FakeNewsLeader with #TuckerCarlson #TrumpRussiaDeniar #TrumprussiaObstructor
Below, Chaffetz on a credible news source. Chaffetz says “he” has no proof of collusion between #TrumpRussia. Maybe they don’t trust him? There is speculation that Chaffetz himself may have some of his own #KremlinCollusion issues. According to Snopes, it isn’t yet proven so we will need to wait and see. One thing for certain is Chaffetz has certainly been one of those #TrumpRussiaObstructors who don’t seem to want to acknowledge there might be any Trump Russia connections and doesn’t want to do anything to upset the rest of the Republican Trump/Russia deniars.

He exposed a spy, who as a result is likely now dead.
Good job, Trump!
then you have the fake news outlets like FOX News cable and BrightButt news saying it is #fakenews and #darkstate leaks.

Are not the above fascists pleasant to look at? I had to post their ugliness only for the proper context as it relates to the following article:
The following is an editorial by PoliticusUSA’s co-publisher and managing editor Sarah Jones.
The stench of illegitimacy hangs over President Donald Trump’s ascent to the White House.
In spite of Republican talking points, Democrats don’t need to find an “issue” to stop the Neil Goldrush nomination from proceeding to confirmation. The Gorsuch hearing is irrelevant. He needs to be blocked out of concern for our national security and sovereignty.
Democrats need to force 60 votes for passage, at which point Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will be forced to change the Senate rules (hypocrisy, thy name is Mitch McConnell), thereby putting his name on the line for Russia.
Democrats need to force McConnell to do this, because right now Republicans are not only enabling the Russian takeover of our government, but they are covering it up with sham “investigations” led by people who are basically investigating themselves.
After the FBI confirmed for the first time Monday that they are investigating President Trump and his campaign for possible collusion with Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election, Democrats need to do all that they can to block Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee.
Donald Trump is under FBI investigation for collusion with the Kremlin and has been since last July. It’s hard to imagine a more serious investigation. This would be treason of the highest order if it’s proven true. The investigation is ongoing and the smoking gun hasn’t been delivered yet, but the timeline looks like a smoking gun of circumstantial evidence for collusion all on its own.
The Trump campaign jumped the shark of “coincidence” a long time ago.
It would be more than foolish to allow the President to protect himself with a possible Russian stooge on the Supreme Court. Trump has already installed people like Jeff Sessions as head of the DOJ, which oversees the FBI, and Jeff Sessions not only is possibly implicated in the Russia connections but has shown no willingness to actually investigate the issue. After lying to the Senate during his confirmation hearings about his contacts with Russia, Sessions was forced to “step aside” — but not for an independent prosecutor. Oh, no. For someone who works under him.
So it is Republicans own refusal to actually investigate (not sham investigations) an imminent threat to the United States of America that requires Democrats to block Goldrush.
Republicans are trying to push the “issue” argument for good reason. The RNC sent PoliticusUSA a press release of an excerpt of a Wall Street Journal editorial by the Editorial Board, in which they make the argument that Democrats can’t find an issue upon which to base a stand against Gorsuch, “Democrats have come up empty trying to find something scandalous that Neil Gorsuch has said, so now they’re blaming him for what he won’t say. To wit, they want him to declare how he would rule in specific areas of the law—questions that every Supreme Court nominee declines to answer.”
It’s true that Goldrush is a great witness, and he is handling the Senate confirmation hearings like a pro. Normally, he would be an easy nominee to move forward, even with his ideological bent as President’s are allowed to pick their Supreme Court nominees.
Or, they used to be.
It is Republicans themselves who changed everything with their unprecedented obstruction of President Obama’s moderate, middle of the road nominee Merrick Garland. A man far more respected on both sides of the aisle than Gorsuch. Not even an hour after Justice Scalia’s death, Mitch McConnell announced that Republicans would block President Obama’s nominee no matter who it was — so “issues” mattered not one bit when it was Obama’s nominee, and Obama won an actual mandate twice.
Republicans are right to press the “issue” argument, because it’s all they have. But Gorsuch’s fitness for the position is not the real issue.
Republicans do not have precedent on their side, because Mitch McConnell broke with longstanding Senate tradition in order to make up his own facts in a further effort to delegitimize President Obama, who won by a lot more than Donald Trump did and so McConnell’s argument “Let’s let the American people decide” is even weaker tea today than it was when first he offered it.
Not only did Trump lose the popular vote, but he “won” with the help of a hostile foreign power, and at that only managed to scrape by with 78,000 votes in three states that gave him his electoral college win.
A mandate this is not. This is the opposite of a mandate. This is more like a Kremlin demand that must be refused by anyone taking money to represent the U.S.
Republicans are no longer the traditionalists or the patriots. They are now backing and enabling and offering cover to an administration that has repeatedly lied about its connections to Russia and is currently under FBI investigation regarding its role in the Kremlin’s interference in our election.
Democrats can’t stop Goldrush, but they can force Mitch McConnell to change the Senate rules to assist Putin, and this is what they need to do. He deserves to wear that badge publicly.
There should be no mercy shown to anyone who is selling this country out by allowing possible Russian puppets to be installed in positions of such enormous power they leave us wide open to no checks and balances. Clearly Republicans are unable to serve as checks and balances, even when their president is under FBI investigation for collusion with a hostile foreign government. We will need any checks and balances we can get.
The American people should contact their legistators, both Democratic and Republican, to stop the #SCOTUS hearings until the FBI and IC investigations into the #TrumpRussia #KremlinConnection is over. Not only are Trump campaign officials implicated in possible collusion in the Russian interference in our democratic process and our election and having Russian ties, some of them are in the White House. Jeff Sessions, Mike Pence, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Rex Tillerson, Wilbur Ross, Donald Trump himself. And what about Steve Bannon and Miller who helped orchestrate the alt-right #FakeNews flurry along with the right wing media.

Sean Hannity in October: A president under FBI investigation would present “a major Constitutional crisis.” Hmmm.
The hypocricy of the statements made by the fielder of #FakeNews , Sean Hannity. Hannity, whose unending dishonest and fabrication of fake news should be tried as a conspirator when Trump is taken down.

The Trumpisms of the Trump #SwampHouse is astounding. Not only does Trump try to direct attention away from the topic of him and his most senior campaign staff and himself having communication with Russian operatives both during the campaign and after, then he makes ridiculous claims that Obama wiretapped his phones based on hearsay and speculation by conspiracy theorists. Now, based on fake news he heard on FOX News cable, the MSM #FakeNews leader,, he is accusing the British of spying for Obama. This man is a certifiable lunatic and nut case.

FBI Director James Comey met with the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday to discuss Donald Trump’s claim that former President Obama had his “wires tapped” at Trump Tower during the election. A day later, the top Democrat on the intelligence committee said that he hasn’t seen one shred of evidence to back up Trump’s bogus claim.
Rep. Adam Schiff is a member of what is known as the “Gang of Eight,” which is the group of House members who are privy to the most classified information out there. Schiff said that Thursday’s meeting with Comey didn’t provide the committee with any evidence whatsoever that Trump’s phones had been tapped by Obama or anyone else.
“I think when Sean Spicer isn’t even willing to talk about it, you know there’s a real problem,” Schiff told CNN.
Rep. Devin Nunes, who is the Republican heading up the intelligence committee, said earlier this week that he hadn’t seen any evidence to support Trump’s wiretapping claims either. After meeting with Comey, he said that nothing had changed.
It’s no surprise that Trump’s claims of wiretapping based on reports from conspiracy theorist Mark Levin have been unsupported. You must question the sanity of anyone who would react in such an unhinged manner based on hearsay and fake news they saw on a conspiracy theory site such as Breitbart or infowars. In fact you must question the intelligence of anyone who believes any of the rediculous information they peddle, and that includes Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity from FOX News. Trump has been known to follow such ridiculous tabloids as The National Enquirer and he considers Breitbart News and Alex Jones credible along with one of his main fake news surrogates, Sean Hannity.

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.
Very ironic. The Real Donald while slamming the press at #Melbourne #FL for creating #FakeNews makes up a story about an attack in Sweden. Where would he get such a crazy story? Where else but the #FakeNews leader #FOXNews. Tucker Carlson was interviewing a conservative political activist filmmaker who makes up bogus reports, just like the ones who make all the bogus films about Hillary Clinton. The Donald even helped fund one of those fake film makers by making a $10,000 donation from Trump Foundation to Project Veritas, the creater of the bogus #RiggedElection films which were meant to cast a shadow on the Clinton campaign. If you recall, Trump made a lot of “rigged election” claims early on. Taking his “projectionist” mannerisms into account could he have been actually telling on himself because he was going to be involved in rigging the election with his #KremlinConnection and the hacked emails, wikileaks, and the DNC? Trump’s donation to Project Veritas was one month before he announced his candidacy. Many of the other bogus activist films and fake information came from sources that received funding from the same billionaires who funded Super PACs backing Ted Cruz and then Trump. Trump’s Chief Advisor Bannon, who was the head of Breitbart News was also reported to be on the Board of one of those companies working for Trump and against Clinton, backed by hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer and his billionaire daughter Rebekah Mercer.
