    Trump administration is reportedly flip flopping on the Paris Climate Agreement & seeking to avoid a withdrawal. If this is true (fingers crossed), this is great news! What a great couple weeks it has been for democrats. First, they negotiate a deal with Trump to keep the government open until December. Then, they negotiate another deal to grant legal status to DACA recipients & to beef up border security (but no wall). And now, trump officials want to stay in the Paris agreement. So much winning!

    Except it took about 10 minutes for the White House to deny that WSJ report lol.
    What are you talking about? Trump is insisting on the wall as part of the immigration deal.

    My god, how you can still fall for these fake, easy-to-debunk news stories positively mystifies me. When will you wake the f--- up?
    Yeah, great time for the Democrats, with Hillary Clinton slamming the the media, Bernie Sanders, the DNC and everyone else under the sun for her loss in her new book and in interviews to the point that even one of her former fundraisers said, "The best thing she could do is disappear. She’s doing harm to all of us because of her own selfishness. Honestly, I wish she’d just shut the f--- up and go away” and one former Obama aide said “None of this is good for the party.”

    It's a witch hunt! Robert Mueller raided Paul Manafort's house earlier this summer using “shock-and-awe tactics to intimidate witnesses and potential targets of the inquiry.”

    https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/09/18/us/politics/mueller-russia-investigation.html?referer=

    Meanwhile, according to CNN's “anonymous sources” Manafort has been under an ongoing FISA court-ordered wiretap going back to 2014 which was “discontinued at some point last year for lack of evidence" but then resumed with a "new FISA warrant that extended at least into early this year."

    http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/18/politics/paul-manafort-government-wiretapped-fisa-russians/index.html

    Pathetic.

    They're fake news primarily in the sense that they'll take a fundamentally real story, some event that did happen, but their reporting on it is so warped and so politicized that it's tantamount to fake news. There is no reason, for example, to think that CNN is lying about the FBI investigation into Manafort dating back three years, but what is spurious here is the implicit Russian hack narrative which they still maintain as though it were objective fact. But often they'll just lie by omission, as in this WaPo article exalting McCain to the skies while glossing over his hawkish reputation. Sometimes you can even catch them in an outright falsehood, such as the “17 US intelligence agencies” line, which the entire mainstream press pushed for months after Hillary Clinton made that baseless claim in the second presidential debate, until finally the NY Times grudgingly retracted it in June after the damage had already been done. Of course, not one week after this correction a Times article reported, “Mr. Trump has repeatedly cast doubt on the unanimous conclusion of United States intelligence agencies that Russia sought to interfere in the 2016 race.”

    And there's also this juicy whopper:


    What more proof of fake news do you need?

    Ridiculous how the GOP are basically offering Murkowski Obamacare in Alaska as long as she votes to repeal it for the rest of the country. Hard to say but I feel like Collins/Murkowski will stay no & the deciding vote(s) will be between Rand Paul & once again John McCain. I have a bad feeling it's going to pass this time around. McCain took a lot of heat for his no vote last time around, this could be his way of making up with the GOP base. Rand Paul I don't think needs much convincing; he'll fall in party lines when it comes down to it. I think the fact that the GOP is embarrassingly behind their agenda is why this will probably pass. They need a win badly.

    Trump handled both Florida & Texas disasters fairly well. He's handling Puerto Rico disastrously. Look at this:

    GOP unveiled their tax plan yesterday which will not surprisingly, predominately benefit the rich & big business with big tax cuts. This tax plan is similar to one that was rolled out in Kansas in 2012. It was some of the largest tax cuts ever adopted by a state which resulted in a lopsided benefits for the wealthy. These tax cuts led to financial crisis & budget shortfalls which led to lawmakers reversing the tax cuts in a bipartisan effort.

    The mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico went on national tv the other day & *literally* begged the White House for more assistance stating that people are dying. What was president trump's response?
