This video is brilliant. Framing Congress as your co-worker is masterful, and it's so well done.

There are two things going on in this clip.

The more important one is that Pete Williams is putting to rest all the conspiracy theories that the FBI is somehow prepping a jail cell for Hillary Clinton because reasons!

No they aren't, no they haven't, no they won't.

The other thing happening is that Chuck Todd is quoting both the Wall Street Journal AND Fox News as if they are completely independent of each other rather than owned by right wing propagandist Rupert Murdoch. Читать дальше...

The Trump campaign and their surrogates aren't even hiding the fact that the FBI, while unlawfully helping their campaign, has already done the damage they had hoped for.

This is pretty on the mark. Mark Halperin, that is.

BRIAN WILLIAMS: (to Mark Halperin) When Donald Trump complains that he is not getting favorable coverage in the MSM? He has not been listening to you this cycle. I think you've gone OUT OF YOUR WAY to find the path, argue for the path, forge the path for him in an argumentative way, with your co-host, to the nomination. Tonight, I thought you were interestingly optimistic. Where are you getting the path of positivity you laid out on your broadcast? Читать дальше...

Talk about despicable Trump supporters, the former New Hampshire Governor and White House chief of staff for George H Bush, John Sununu joked about Bill and Hillary's sex life while warming up the crowd for Trump earlier today.

Yesterday Bret Baier took little tiny baby steps toward walking back an obviously false report about how an indictment was supposedly pending in the Clinton Foundation case.

Rudy Giuliani, gleefully admitted to the Fox and Friends co-hosts today that he knew all about James Comey's letter to Congress before Comey ever sent it and said, "I did nothing to get it out, I had no role in it, did I hear about it? You darn right I heard about it..."

The jury has returned guilty verdicts on all charges in the Bridgegate case for defendants Bridget Anne Kelly and Bill Baroni.'

The entire piece at Politico is worth a read, for the assorted foolishness one usually associates with Trump and ventures which carry his name: the mysterious Russian bilionaire/financier, unpaid contractors, deposits on condos never returned, numerous lawsuits, and on and on it goes.

We always kinda knew Giuliani was a stupid braggart, but this?

Don Lemon, during an interview with Michael Moore, showed a clip of Rudy Guiliani from last Wednesday on Fox News (of course). In the clip Giuliani is teasing about big news coming soon from the FBI. Smirking and nodding, Guiliani says "you'll find out!" to the Fox host.

Moore and others have been tweeting about it ever since:

Still gobsmacked 2 hrs later after CNN's Don Lemon showed me a FoxNews clip from... Читать дальше...

Seth Meyers took on the GOP / Trump machine last night, calling out their "increasingly unhinged rhetoric" regarding a Clinton Presidency.

A few months ago, we were told by FBI director James Comey that Hillary Clinton would not face charges as a result of her handling of emails as secretary of state. She seemed to be in the clear. But some current and former law enforcement officialsnever accepted that conclusion. At the Daily Beast, Wayne Barrett names some of the names:

The excellent reporter Spencer Ackerman of The Guardian is reporting that the FBI has turned into a toxic wasteland of Trump supporters and they are doing everything they can to influence the election.

Hello, everyone. I'm just stepping in for a day, taking a short break from Plouffian bed-wetting in response to the tightening presidential race but otherwise taking some comfort in the fact that I live in a mature, advanced, civilized democracy where an overwhelming majority of us frown on fascist white nationalism and its related ugliness.

Twilight actress Nikki Reed appears in this "Humanity for Hillary" video, pushing back on the sexism of Donald Trump and his supporters.

38 years ago the Jam released their 3rd album All Mod Cons. Though I am a huge fan of their first two albums, this one is where the band really came into their own. They no longer were just 60's mod loving group acclimated into the then current punk rock climate, it is here where they started to be one of the most important rock-n-roll bands in the word.

What is the world press reporting about America's presidential election? Here's a mini-round-up of articles from the global English language press.

It isn't our imagination. The Comey "scandal" release from Friday sucked all the oxygen out of all election media coverage for at least three days.

Dear Hillary,

In only a few days we'll finally know which of our nation's two candidates has won the presidency. No secret that I'm rooting for you, and that I have no earthly use for Donald Trump, but I'm begging you to stop talking about him. Right now.

We know what he is. We know how you feel about him. He's vile, he's an opportunist, he's so far from being a logical choice for a viable candidate we can't stop thinking, you and I and everyone in our camp, about how impossible... Читать дальше...

On a day where the North Carolina Republican Party has been roundly pounded by the courts and press alike for their deep voter suppression efforts, Dallas Woodhouse made an appearance on MSNBC to try and distract from it.

Nathan, Nathan, Nathan. Didn't your mama teach you we say "African Americans" OUTSIDE the White trash barn?
