And another day of mysterious payments, big presidential cuts to the budget, and a concern of Russian disinformation from in the ‘80s comes to a close:
“We live in a world where all wars begin as cyber wars... It’s the combination of hacking and massive, well-coordinated disinformation campaigns.” -- Jared Cohen
A mysterious payment to Paul Manafort's lawyer reveals a hidden chapter of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. But the route this money traveled, from its origin as a donation made to a pro-Trump political group, to its final destination in the bank account of Manafort's attorney, offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of relationships Manafort built over 40 years in Republican politics.
Long before there were online trolls, and before Mark Zuckerberg was even born, Russian disinformation was enough of a worry in the US that it made the cover of a 1982 issue of TV Guide.
Trump campaign adviser defends White House diversity: “How many black people were in Lincoln’s West Wing?” Jesus. Christ. These people are morons.
Trump's proposed 2020 budget calls for a 23 percent cut in State Department funding, a 15 percent cut in spending by the USDA, and a 31 percent cut in the budget for the Environmental Protection Agency. You see his priorities.
Trump wants to cut Medicare by $845 billion--10%. In the past he said he would protect the program. No, it doesn’t really mean shit, but it does show us what he thinks of the program. No, he doesn’t give a shit about you. Stop supporting him.
Trump proposes big cuts to health programs for poor, elderly and disabled.
Hundreds of migrant children are taken from families despite rollback of separation policy.
Tucker Carlson refuses to apologize after sexist remarks resurface. Tucker Carlson should not have a platform in which to boast his misogyny and hate to millions of people.
"Do you have royal blood?"
"You are yin. Who is your yang?"
"What kind of dog are you according to your zodiac sign?"
Those are few of the innocuous-seeming quiz titles used by Ukrainian hackers to gain access to private Facebook user data. Don’t ever take a “quiz” on Facebook. Ever.
Attorneys are filing a lawsuit today on behalf of almost 80 people arrested at a party in Georgia, after police outside claimed to smell the "odor of marijuana," searched the entire house & found less than one ounce.
“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” -- Marcus Garvey
Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.
Until next time, my friends. Good night.
