Tuesday, March 20, 2018

And another day--an Aubrey O’Day kind of a day--complete with a polygraph test, a warning not to congratulate a dictator, and another high school shooting comes to a close:

“An American president does not lead the Free World by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections.” -- Senator John McCain

Cambridge Analytica executives boast of role in getting Trump elected. CEO Alexander Nix claims he met Trump “many times.”

Cambridge Analytica CEO: 'we ran all the digital campaign' for Trump. A second report by Channel 4 News shows executives claiming that their work was responsible for Trump's "narrow victory" by 40,000 votes in three states. Nix said in the video that "We did all the research, all the data, all the analytics, all the targeting, we ran all the digital campaign, the television campaign and our data informed all the strategy."

The board of Cambridge Analytica suspends CEO Alexander Nix pending an investigation.

‘Utterly horrifying': ex-Facebook insider says covert data harvesting was routine.

Facebook finally responded to the Cambridge Analytica scandal—and it’s passing the buck. Hmmm. That statement said, well, nothing really.

Trump congratulated Putin on his “election victory” after his national security team told him not to. They actually wrote in Trump’s written briefing ahead of the call to Putin, “DO NOT CONGRATULATE.” The notes also said to condemn the attack of an ex-Russian spy in London with a nerve agent. He of course did not. He has clearly been compromised by the Russians.

Package bound for Austin blows up at FedEx building near San Antonio.

Sixth Texas parcel bomb blast leaves U.S. investigators baffled.

Kroger’s Fred Meyer plans to phase out firearms business.

Lindsey Graham calls for the Senate Judiciary Committee to hold a hearing on McCabe's firing.

Senator Jeff Flake warns of impeachment if President Trump fires special counsel Robert Mueller.

A New York judge ruled that President Trump must face a defamation suit brought by a former contestant on 'The Apprentice.’ No, not even the president is above the law.


Betsy DeVos: School safety commission to consist of four Cabinet secretaries, no Democrats. The commission would consist of DeVos, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, Department of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Fucking ugh.

The Weinstein Co. Files For Bankruptcy, Cancels Non-Disclosure Agreements.

Donald Trump Jr. reportedly had an affair with Celebrity Apprentice cast member Aubrey O’Day. Like father, like son.

Lie detector test shows Stormy Daniels truthful about Trump affair.

Former Playboy model Karen McDougal sues to break silence on relationship with Trump.

It was a bad day in court for Trump’s efforts to silence women. Good.

How bisexuality gets erased, explained by the reaction to Cynthia Nixon’s candidacy for governor of New York. Why does one’s sexuality have to be “black and white”--gay or straight? Why should you care about someone else’s sexuality, anyway? As long as all parties are consenting and of legal age, why should you give a shit?

It would be nice if Harvey Weinsten's legacy is the demise of nondisclosure agreements, which let abusers remain cloaked in secrecy. Yep. NDA’s foster abuse.

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
