Yesterday, Trump tweeted the following:
“Looking more & more like the Trump Campaign for President was illegally being spied upon (surveillance) for the political gain of Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Republicans must get tough now. An illegal Scam!”
Naturally, the MSM are pouring cold water on this assertion.

Trump’s speech tossing aside the carefully, laboriously negotiated JCPOA deal insuring that Iran would not develop nuclear weapons — the crown jewel of Obama’s otherwise grossly disappointing foreign policy, a bulwark against a future catastrophic war with Iran — could easily have been drafted by Netanyahu’s speechwriter, and possibly was. It effectively was a greatest hits collection of Bibi’s favorite lies, as Ted Snider has helpfully outlined:
U.S. actions are a nightmare. Imprisoning Chelsea because she refuses to testify against Julian (who they have incarcerated and are torturing in the UK's Guantanamo like prison). Truth tellers must be stopped! Venezuela's U.S. puppet and pretend president must deliver all of that oil to our corporations and those of our vassal states. We ignore international law, yet again, and raid their embassy in DC. Israel and Saudi Arabia push us into a war with Iran....a guaranteed disaster in waiting. More children murdered this week in Yemen with U.S. assistance and bombs. More Palestinians murdered by Israelis as they protest their open air prison. We are a shameful nation bent on death and destruction for the profit of those who have more than they can possibly use. Killing one another isn't enough...the entire ecosystem is at risk to satiate our oil (and profit) addiction. It is a nightmare.
And yet, people still dream of a better future... and create new systems... and build new structures in harmony with the biosphere. People dream of a more equitable society and are discussing what a positive future might look like. Young people continue to pressure the politicians and elite to move toward a green future. Can they create a dream within the nightmares?
Here's something I've been reading lately:
Russia-gate’s Monstrous Offspring
Americans used to think that Russia-gate was about a plot to hack the 2016 election. They were wrong. Russia-gate is really about an immense conspiracy to do four things:
No. 1: Ratchet up tensions with Russia to ever more dangerous levels;
No. 2: Show that Democrats are even more useless than people imagined;
Some soothsayers say, trump will pardon war criminals.
Just who is a criminal here?

Alabama has given us all a window into the mind of a modern Republican.
These are Republican values in 2019.
Begin the Panic
I'm putting this in its own thread in hopes that a few more people watch it. This is a presentation by a young man named Antonio Reid who is deep into climate awareness. This one is on the topic of sea level rise.
Fast forward to around 5 minutes to start. Or enjoy the view of Antonio's forehead.
this may be just a waste of time (esp. mine, lol) to even post this and ask any of you experts to fill in any context, etc., but as far as the mueller detractors, it ain't over yet. a friend of the café sent me this storify by Tweet yesterday. so...i headed to the home of the Queen of Russia-gate, marcy wheeler to see if i could make any sense of what's *said to be* afoot.
