Well she aint been far wrong so far.......

[Foamfollower]

1. "Well she aint been right so far........."

FIFY

[L. Coyote]

21. She hasn't been wrong yet. And her sources got the FISA warrant right.

FBI has FISA warrant for Trump secret server connected to Russia.

[pnwmom]

44. She named the Nunes WH contact three days before the NYTimes.

And she reported on the Alfa Bank FISA warrant in October, before the BBC, the Guardian, or a single US source.

[Achilleaze]

2. Thus Comrade Casino & repube Senate Comrades are illegitimate

They occupy a stolen White House, a stolen Senate majority, and many repube seats in the House.

We are being "governed" badly by an illegal cabal of republican comrades who clearly do not respect and will not defend America from Russian Acts of War*

* per Dick Cheney

[certainot]

8. and the only thing keeping the GOP together and keeping

trump in the white house is the dems/left's incredible continued insistence on ignoring rw talk radio, the only real advantage the right/republicans have in all this and the only reason trump is in the white house.

[L. Coyote]

22. You mean there are still people listening to talk radio?

Where, in solid red states that never vote blue anyway?

[certainot]

37. most red states are red because they are dominated by rw radio

the tea party is the talk radio party, trump's base is the talk radio base

at a cheap $1000/hr x 15hrs/day x 1200 stations, rw talk radio is worth 4.68 BIL$/ year or 390MIL$ /month FREE for coordinated global warming denial, pro republican wall st think tank propaganda, free market deregulation bullshit, swiftboating, and the hate and fear used to get people to vote republican.

ignoring that, while whining about "money in politics", is the biggest political mistake in history

[L. Coyote]

38. And I thought it was going to school that was the problem.

Seriously, education has more impact that radios. But, do you blame the schools?

[certainot]

40. those stations push defunding and privatizing public ed - pretty fucking stupid for unis

to support them. they attack teachers and teachers unions.

while they fight efforts to reduce student debt relief they're waving the sports logos of those schools - pretty fucking stupid to let them do that, yet we have, for 30 years.

those stations help elect school regents and decide who is and isn't 'acceptable' for uni pres and chancellor!

pretty fucking silly..... higher ed, shooting itself in the foot while their students turn up the music and complain about tuition and debt and global warming and talk radio presidents and wars and media deregulation and money in politics.

and those stations yell over protests at state capitols for weeks after the protestors go home

[L. Coyote]

41. Maybe you should organizea radio network.

[certainot]

45. there are ignorant lying assholes calling liberals and dems whores thieves and

traitors all day from every corner and stump in 40 states (with 80 senators), and they have been for 30 years, and waiting for mom and pop to compete with wall mart is a losing formula and sure fire way to get a president like trump - especially when they coordinate with putin

[YOHABLO]

36. So what would your solution be to an unfair balance of RW Talk vs Progressive Talk?

They dumped the 'fairness doctrine' and RW Talk permeates all talk radio markets. But I will say that where Liberal Talk has been pushed out .. the internet has taken its place in terms of getting the truth out .. case in point Randi Rhodes.

[certainot]

39. if your nearby university broadcasts sports on rw radio stations, protest almost anything there

those stations will soon be selling the next war, like they sold the last one for bush.

the objective is to get the uni community into a discussion on looking for apolitical alternatives to broadcast sports on. even if the university does nothing the gop will freak out, media will notice, and advertisers will flee those stations. other unis will get shamed into the same. the rw radio monopoly/psyops will fall apart - trump will be gone a lot sooner.

without rw radio the GOP has nothing. monitor it, put a RUSH tattoo on all republicans foreheads, boycott all their stations/talkers, protest the stations and especially the unis that support 257 limbaugh stations.

257 Limbaugh stations are endorsed by at least 88 major universities….. - they need to be included in protests.

talk radio is the only major medium with no significant political counterpart on the left - in every other medium there are alts a click away. internet does not compete directly with talk radio - in most parts of the country there are no free easy alts for politics while driving or working- it is a propaganda operation.

3. We were just told the investigation was 'No where near over'. Now

They have all the evidence?

ETA: ah she is saying her theory is now fact and that is all they need...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Prosecutors always want to have everything nailed down so defendant has no wiggle room.

It takes time.

Even when a reasonable person would say it's a fact, the standard for criminal law is "beyond a reasonable doubt", i.e. no doubts at all.

[Botany]

5. And now Trump gets a pick for SCOTUS?

"Both Manafort and Trump knew that this targeting information was based
on stolen voter databases."

Russia was into voter d-bases in Wisconsin @ the county level.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/01/24/russians-suspected-hacking-wisconsin-dems/97023222/

And did Ryan and company also used the data that the Russians got by hacking?

[ananda]

6. Mensch's twitter site is, well, something of a toxic mess.

She's got some serious trolls there.

Anyhow, if what she claims is true, then why .. if they got
the warrant in October .. is it now April and ... nothing?

[avebury]

7. RICO needs to become the new chant against the Republicans.

The Republicans in Congress are accessories to what what it going on because they are more concerned about pushing their agenda then in defending the US Constitution and the American people.

RICO
Watergate
Why is it that only Republicans commit illegal activities on such a large scale?

9. her blog link isn't working.

anyone able to get in?

[Raine1967]

11. That's strange. I can't get to it either.

She is tweeting this morning.

[GliderGuider]

23. Yes, I can. nt

[KewlKat]

25. thanks. It seems to be working now. maybe it was just overloaded earlier?

[L. Coyote]

24. Works just fine right now. Maybe the server is too busy.

10. Cambridge Analytics

If you haven't already done so, read Jane Mayer's reporting on Trump's main financier the Mercer family. Towards the end, she writes about Cambridge Analytics and how it can be used to micro-target voters.
Link: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/27/the-reclusive-hedge-fund-tycoon-behind-the-trump-presidency

[jmg257]

12. You really can just go to their web-site and read the "About" section.

https://cambridgeanalytica.org/about

They already have info on 220 million Americans.

I imagine the info on 3 million or so someone got (legally or not?) from Facebook helps the micro-targeting on that site, and supposedly the voter databases from key states would help too in those arenas (the hacking of which would be an/the actual crime - i.e. Russia?)

We Call This Behavioral Microtargeting

[KittyWampus]

14. I did read it and Cambridge Analytics didn't need stolen voter registration data.

[pnwmom]

46. In combination with their previously stolen data, the voter registration data

would have been extremely useful in their micro-targeting.

I don't know what you mean about their not needing it. Of course it would have been very valuable to them.

[sharedvalues]

17. What makes it illegal is voter roll hacking and coordination with a foreign power

If CA did either of those two things this administration is toast.

And I would be shocked if they did not coordinate with Russia given all the ties to manafort and Stone. And all the dirty money Trump took from Russia for his properties.

This administration is over. It's just a question of when, and whether Gorsuch will get confirmed (no tax or healthcare legislation will ever make it through house and Senate), and whether Pence and Ryan go down too or not.

[uponit7771]

33. +1, the voter roll hacking was illegal in and of itself the Kremlin KKKlan and their minions should

... all be going to jail

[kpete]

31. xlnt advice

[PDittie]

13. Cambridge Analytica also party owned by Steve Bannon

However, the most valuable asset listed on Mr. Bannon’s disclosure forms was Bannon Strategic Advisors Inc., a privately held consulting firm that was valued at $5 million to $25 million. [...]

The disclosure reveals more than was previously known about his ties to Cambridge Analytica, where he was vice president of the board: He had a stake in the company that he valued at $1 million to $5 million, which he plans to sell.

[Kolesar]

29. [x] Like for your post...eom

[rockfordfile]

32. Yes it is

Cambridge Analytics is just dirty.

[KittyWampus]

15. The problems w/Mensch's current storytelling is Arizona and Illinois are the states Russia hacked

And they aren't the ones that swung the blue states Clinton was counting on as her firewall.

Also, a lot of states have voter registration public.

Lastly, Cambridge Analytics did not need Russian help in compiling their data.

[sharedvalues]

18. Our current laws don't make much of this illegal but they should.

The illegality in Arizona and Illinois will be plenty for the FBI to bring down this administration.


And then we'll have to work as a society on how to prevent internet trolling, fake news, and foreign propaganda. If we're lucky that process will also sink the domestic propaganda of Fox and conserva-hate radio.

[uponit7771]

34. My understanding is those are not the only two states that were hacked

[OnDoutside]

43. I believe it was something like 20 states were hacked.

[pnwmom]

47. They weren't the only ones. There was a massive increase in hacking attempts in Wisconsin,

for example - though the GOP governor downplayed it.

They think nothing happened because their system was so decentralized, and because it would have been "obvious" if the rolls had been changed.

They didn't even acknowledge the fact that the data could have been copied and transmitted elsewhere.

16. Sorry, but I'm not going to take the word of this News Corp senior VP as gospel

[sharedvalues]

19. She has been right on the FISA stuff, and claims to have been forced out at right-wing website

She claims to have been forced out at the new Murdoch conservative lying website for being too anti-GOP.

And she has been right on all the FISA stuff, saying correctly that a warrant was issued against foriegn agents he was talking to, based on the Alfa Bank server. And she predicted some of the Senate disclosures this week on Russian paid trolling and hacking.

Now, granted, some of the above might have been public info.

But my gut is that the voter roll hacking will be traced back to Russia and to this administration. And i think that will bring down these GOP liars.

We will see.

[GliderGuider]

26. The truth doesn't care if you accept it or not. nt

[hedda_foil]

35. True, but I won't believe she's got the goods without verification from journalists I respect.

[BSdetect]

20. drumph was used to skirting if not breaking the law.

A bit of hacking would be nothing for him to exploit.

[L. Coyote]

27. Who hacked the DNC is more important. This story has multiple facets.

If they can hang the DNC hack on Trump, that alone will be far bigger than Watergate.

[pbmus]

28. The party's over...
