It's official for the first time in history: The GOP has become the party of rural white voters @alternet

18 percent of the population = majority control of Congress.  The numbers portend ultimately a bad result for the nation as whole.  The fact is that a minority will have a vastly disproportionate control over the lives and livelihood of the majority.  The inequality of such political control will result in a majority wanting to have fundamental changes to the voting process within a few years.



It's official for the first time in history: The GOP has become the party of rural white voters @alternet: It's the first time in history they've all gravitated to one party. If there was one demographic group that blunted the force of the “blue wave” in this month’s midterm elections, it was rural white voters. Even as Republicans lost control of the suburban areas that had been their strongholds in the 1980s and 1990s, Republicans extended their hold over rural America. The GOP is now on the verge of uniting nearly all rural white voters into a single party – which has never happened before.

'A lot of people lied to us': Dem lawmaker says new revelations show the GOP is covering up Russia scandal

'A lot of people lied to us': Dem lawmaker says new revelations show the GOP is covering up Russia scandal: CNN’s Chris Cuomo asked Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) on Wednesday about new revelations about a Qatari investor attending a meeting with Trump “fixer” Michael Cohen in Trump Tower in 2016 — and the Democratic lawmaker proceeded to unload on his Republican colleagues for allegedly shutting down the House Russia probe prematurely. During the interview, Cuomo asked Quigley what he made of Qatari investor Ahmed Al-Rumaihi’s admission that he went to Trump Tower to meet with …

Why Can't We Talk About the T-Word with Trump's CIA Pick? @alternet: How torture became unspeakable yet defensible in Washington. The key to defending the practice of torture is never to use the word.When the Bush administration wanted to torture suspected terrorists after 9/11, it adopted 'enhanced interrogation techniques.' When President Obama decided not to investigate Bush's torture regime, he said it was 'time to look forward, not backwards.'

Governor calls student walkout 'shameful'

"It's shameful..." is what Gov. McMaster thinks of students who do not want to die in their school due to the ready availability of war weapons like the AR-15.  It is time to remove the means for mass murder by banning those kinds of weapons that were developed expressly to kill human beings in theaters of war.

Pentagon Orders Restrictions On Release Of Afghanistan War Data – Talking Points Memo

What will Trump try to hide in the coming months?  There was mention of another 1000 troops being sent back into the meat grinder.  Without knowing what is going on in Afghanistan we can't make informed decisions about this forever war.  Will our elected representatives be excluded too?



Remember Congressional oversight was missing about special operations going on in the countries of Africa because the Pentagon didn't inform our Congressional committees like Defense and Intelligence.

Democrats take off the gloves on the Russia probe en masse—it's war

Constitution or political power?  One nation, Russia, has interfered with our elections, and many other democratic voting process in other countries, and continues to do so.  But only Republicans in Congress and in the White House continue to do nothing to stop Russian digital warfare to continue to undermine the democracies around the world.



There can be only one word- "collusion" by doing nothing to stop Russia.

The Definitive Guide to Understanding the Sinister Tactics Behind Trump’s Tweets @alternet

The Definitive Guide to Understanding the Sinister Tactics Behind Trump’s Tweets @alternet: We’re way beyond gaslighting now. Over the past two years, Trump’s Twitter habits have been honed and polished into an art form. And really, he is a master at it. Maybe after Mueller takes him down, he can write “The Art of the Tweet.” Until then, Americans will continue to reel from unfiltered posts like his most recent threats to North Korea and play the absurd game of trying to tell if our lives are immediately under threat or not.

Glenn Greenwald: Is Facebook Operating as an Arm of the Israeli State by Removing Palestinian Posts? @alternet

Glenn Greenwald: Is Facebook Operating as an Arm of the Israeli State by Removing Palestinian Posts? @alternet: Tel Aviv had submitted 158 requests to Facebook over the previous four months asking it to remove content it deemed “incitement.' Facebook is being accused of censoring Palestinian activists who protest the Israeli occupation. This comes as Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked reportedly said in December that Tel Aviv had submitted 158 requests to Facebook over the previous four months asking it to remove content it deemed “incitement,” and said Facebook had granted 95 percent of the requests. We speak with Pulitzer Prize winner Glenn Greenwald about his new report for The Intercept headlined “Facebook Says It Is Deleting Accounts at the Direction of the U.S. and Israeli Governments.”
