here's what happened in America in 2016 election.
Now first off let's get one thing straight. I
don't give a shit who is running country, it fucking
doesn't matter to me if Elmer Fudd or Bugs Bunny or a
Unicorn is at the helm. I don't fucking care.
People voted for Trump as a way of saying fuck you to
Hilliary. Anyone BUT Hilliary. Not so much the Demo
party, but a direct piss off to Clinton. So here we
are. Careful what you wish for. We got the bozo of
the century running show and what a fucking mess it is.
I can't believe how fucked up shit got. Never held an
office his entire life 'AND YET" the big douchebag is running
the country. Holy fucking shit, we fucked now huh? lol!
How many days does he have left before he is out? I don't
see how he is going to withstand all nastiness he is receiving.
It's really too much for anyone. Everyday is a clown show.
I agree with your overview, but it goes deeper.
The issue properly framed is the democrats and republicans failed.
They became a single party of non-responsive, law breaking toadies.
Then a revolution that started with the tea party culminated in Trump.
It's a war between the people and the parasites.

Who’s behind the tsunami of social media and blog censorship?
Posted on August 23, 2018 by Dr. Eowyn | 15 Comments
From Art Moore, “Memo Reveals Soros-Funded Social-Media Censorship Plan,” WND, August 20, 2018:
The recent wave of censorship of conservative voices on the internet by tech giants Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Apple mirrors a plan concocted by a coalition of George Soros-funded, progressive groups to take back power in Washington from
President Trump’s administration.
A confidential, 49-page memo for defeating Trump by working with the major social-media platforms to eliminate “right wing propaganda and fake news” was presented in January 2017 by Media Matters founder David Brock at a retreat in Florida with
about 100 donors, the Washington Free Beacon reported at the time.
On Monday, the Gateway Pundit blog noted the memo’s relationship with recent moves by Silicon Valley tech giants to “shadow ban” conservative political candidates and pundits and remove content.
The Free Beacon obtained a copy of the memo, “Democracy Matters: Strategic Plan for Action,” by attending the retreat.
The memo spells out a four-year agenda that deployed Media Matters along with American Bridge, Shareblue and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) to attack Trump and Republicans.
The strategies are impeachment, expanding Media Matters’ mission to combat “government misinformation,” ensuring Democratic control of the Senate in the 2018 midterm elections, filing lawsuits against the Trump administration, monetizing
political advocacy, using a “digital attacker” to delegitimize Trump’s presidency and damage Republicans, and partnering with Facebook to combat “fake news.”
Quashing ‘fake news’ with ‘mathematical precision’
The Free Beacon in its January 2017 story said Brock sought to raise $40 million in 2017 for his organizations.
The document claims Media Matters and far-left groups have “access to raw
data from Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites” so they can “systemically monitor and analyze this unfiltered data.”
“The earlier we can identify a fake news story, the more effectively we can quash it,” the memo states. “With this new technology at our fingertips, researchers monitoring news in real time will be able to identify the origins of a lie with
mathematical precision, creating an early warning system for fake news and disinformation.”
Media Matters met with Facebook, which boasts some 2 billion members worldwide, to discuss how to crack down on fake news, according to the memo.
The social media giant was provided with “a detailed map of the constellation of right-wing Facebook pages that had been the biggest purveyors of fake news.”
Brock’s memo also says Media Matters gave Google “the information necessary to identify 40 of the worst fake new sites” so they could be banned
from Google’s advertising network.
The Gateway Pundit pointed out that in 2016, Google carried out that plan on the Gateway Pundit blog and other conservative sites, including Breitbart, the Drudge Report, Infowars, Zero Hedge and Conservative Treehouse.
Facebook, meanwhile has changed its newsfeed algorithm, ostensibly to combat “fake news,” causing a precipitous decline in traffic for many conservative sites.
President Donald Trump himself was affected, with his engagement on Facebook dropping by 45 percent.
A study in June by Gateway Pundit found Facebook had eliminated 93 percent of the traffic of top conservative news outlets.
Western Journal, in its own study, found that while left-wing publishers saw a roughly 2 percent increase in web traffic from Facebook following the algorithm changes, conservative sites saw a loss of traffic averaging around 14
percent.
‘Totalitarian impulse’ of the left
President Trump’s 2020 campaign manager, Brad Parscale, charged last week
the giants of Silicon Valley are stifling free speech, particularly conservative speech, manifesting the “inherent totalitarian impulse” of the
left….
On Aug. 6, WND reported, Facebook, YouTube and Apple banned commentator Alex Jones and his Infowars website within hours of each other.
Last month, WND reported moderate Muslims and counter-terrorist activists were increasingly being restricted by Silicon Valley, while terrorist content remains on social-media platforms, according to researchers.
Trump campaign chief Parscale said last week the banning of Jones “will inevitably lead to the silencing of those with far less controversial opinions.”
“What we are seeing in Big Tech is the inherent totalitarian impulse of the Left come into full focus,” Parscale said.
Indeed, what followed the censorship of Alex Jones and InfoWars is WordPress’
take-down of blogs, including Fellowship of the Minds.
We are the proverbial “canaries in the coal mines” — early warnings of even worse to come.
First they came for Dr. James Tracy, and I did not speak out because I was not James Tracy.
Then they came for Alex Jones and InfoWars, and I did not speak out because
I was not Alex Jones.
Then they came for Fellowship of the Minds, American Everyman, Chemtrails Planet, Cinderella’s Broom, Dutchsinse’s blog, Saboteur365, To Be Free, and
others. I did not speak out because I was not one of them.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Time to wake up, Americans, before they come for you.

Cohen's plea deal is prosecutor's attempt to set up Trump

Here we go, from Russia with love to campaign finance with love.
Why was Michael Cohen investigated? Because the "Steele dossier" had him making
secret trips to meet with Russians that never happened, so his business dealings got a thorough scrubbing and, in the process, he fell into the special
counsel's Manafort bin
- the bin reserved for squeezing until the juice comes out. And now we are back
to 1998 all over again, with presidents and presidential candidates covering up
their alleged marital misdeeds and prosecutors trying to turn legal acts into illegal ones by
inventing new crimes.
The plot to get President Trump out of office thickens, as Cohen obviously was his own mini-crime syndicate and decided that his betrayals of Trump meant he would be better served turning on his old boss to cut the best deal with prosecutors he could
rather than holding out and getting the full Manafort treatment. That was clear
the minute he hired attorney Lanny Davis, who doesn't try cases and did past work for Hillary Clinton. Cohen had recorded his client, trying to entrap him, sold information
about Trump (while acting as his lawyer) to corporations for millions of dollars, and didn't pay taxes on millions.
The sweetener for the prosecutors, of course, was getting Cohen to plead guilty
to campaign finance violations that were not campaign finance violations. Money
paid to people who come out of the woodwork and shake down people under threat of revealing
bad sexual stories are not legitimate campaign expenditures. They are personal expenditures. That is true for both candidates we like and candidates we don't.
Just imagine if candidates used campaign funds instead of their own money to pay folks like
Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about affairs; they would get indicted for misuse of campaign funds for personal purposes and for tax evasion.
There appear to be two payments involved in this unusual plea - Cohen pleaded guilty to a campaign finance violation for having "coordinated" the American Media Inc. payment to Karen McDougal for her story, not for actually making the
payment. So he is
pleading guilty over a corporate contribution he did not make.
Think about this for a minute: Suppose ABC had paid Stormy Daniels for her story in coordination with Michael Avenatti or maybe even the Democratic National Committee's law firm on the eve of the election; by this reasoning, if
the purpose of this money
paid, just before the election, would be to hurt Trump and help Clinton win, this payment would be a corporate political contribution. If using it not to get Trump would be a corporate contribution, then using it to get Trump also has to be a corporate
contribution. That's why neither are corporate contributions and this is a bogus approach to federal election law. (Note that none of the donors in the 2012 John Edwards case faced any legal issues and the Federal Election Commission [FEC] ruled their
payments were not campaign contributions that had to be reported - facts that prosecutors tried to suppress at trial.)
Now, when it comes to Stormy Daniels, Cohen made a payment a few days before the election that Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani says was reimbursed. First, given that this payment was on Oct. 27, it would never have been reported before the election campaign
and so, for all intents and purposes, was immaterial as it relates to any effect on the campaign. What's clear in this plea deal is that, in exchange for
overall leniency on his massive tax evasion, Cohen is pleading guilty to these other charges as an
attempt to give prosecutors what they want - a Trump connection.
The usual procedures here would be for the FEC to investigate complaints and sort through these murky laws to determine if these kinds of payments are personal in nature or more properly classified as campaign expenditures. And, on the Daniels payment
that was made and reimbursed by Trump, it is again a question of whether that was made for personal reasons (especially since they have been trying since 2011 to obtain agreement). Just because it would be helpful to the campaign does not convert it to a
campaign expenditure. Think of a candidate with bad teeth who had dental work done to look better for the campaign; his campaign still could not pay for it because it's a personal expenditure.

Contrast what is going on here with the treatment of the millions of dollars paid to a Democratic law firm which, in turn, paid out money to political research firm Fusion GPS and British ex-spy Christopher Steele without listing them on any campaign
expenditure form - despite crystal-clear laws and regulations that the ultimate beneficiaries of the funds must be listed. This rule was even tightened recently. There is no question that hiring spies to do opposition research in Russia is a campaign
expenditure, and yet, no prosecutorial raids have been sprung on the law firm, Fusion GPS or Steele. Reason: It does not "get" Trump.
So, Trump spends $130,000 to keep the lid on a personal story and the full weight of state prosecutors comes down on his lawyer, tossing attorney-client privilege to the win
