Remember when conspiracy theorists were people that basically lived in their parents' basements and didn't get air time let alone voted into office? People actually ignored their crazy theories.

Newsweek.... “KKK fliers were distributed in a Virginia town ahead of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day bit.ly/2DyXNFa” We have this again thanks to trump. This will be his legacy that he brought this scum out of the sewer. linkThey were also found on cars in a smaller town in NY near where I live.

NY TimesThe noose tightens I think.. From the NY Times.... “Bannon Is Subpoenaed in Mueller’s Russia Investigation”“WASHINGTON — Stephen K. Bannon, President Trump’s former chief strategist, was subpoenaed last week by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, to testify before a grand jury as part of the investigation into possible links between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter. The move marked the first time Mr. Mueller is known to have used a grand jury subpoena to seek information from a member of Mr. Trump’s inner circle. The special counsel’s office has used subpoenas before to seek information on Mr. Trump’s associates and their possible ties to Russia or other foreign governments. The subpoena could be a negotiating tactic. Mr. Mueller is likely to allow Mr. Bannon to forgo the grand jury appearance if he agrees to instead be questioned by investigators in the less formal setting of the special counsel’s offices in Washington, according to the person, who would not be named discussing the case. But it was not clear why Mr. Mueller treated Mr. Bannon differently than the dozen administration officials who were interviewed in the final months of last year and were never served with a subpoena.”

Well isn’t this nice. Newsweek... “Neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer is "designed to target children" as young as 11, editor boasts bit.ly/2DDZ8e4” link
“ NEO-NAZI WEBSITE DAILY STORMER IS ‘DESIGNED TO TARGET CHILDREN' AS YOUNG AS 11 FOR RADICALIZATION, EDITOR CLAIMS”
This is all on trump. If he hadn’t been elected president these headlines wouldn’t exist. Again elections have consequences.

Variety...
“Fox News to Launch Documentary Series on Clinton Impeachment Process”
So those who defend Fox News What is their point? What do they hope to gain?
By the way. Yesterday someone on twitter posted side by side pictures of Stormy and Ivanka. Man did they look alike. Kind of creepy considering trump supposedly had a fling with Stormy. Why doesn’t Fox News do a series on that?

“Q: Mr. President, did you say you want more people to come in from Norway? Did you say you want more people from Norway?
TRUMP: "Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I want them to come from everywhere, everywhere..."
Then Trump tells the press: "Out."
He is such a liar.

linkThe Atlantic... “Bus driving has been a good, stable job for black people. Now cities are testing driverless buses. That could spell trouble, writes @alexismadrigal theatln.tc/2EOyVZE” “How Automation Could Worsen Racial Inequality”
From the article. “As people consider the negative repercussions of such a change, the obvious problem is that many people drive for a living. Much of the discussion has focused on truck and taxi drivers. In part, that’s because of the scale: there are more than 3 million truckers of various kinds in America. In part, it’s because Lyft and Uber have concentrated attention on the ride-hailing labor market. Transit operators, however, have rarely entered the debate, even though there are more than twice as many bus drivers (687,200) as taxi drivers (305,100), at least as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The truck-driver discussion also slots nicely into the white working-class narrative around automation. Unionized, male factory workers were displaced by new machines; white, male truck drivers might be pushed out by self-driving big rigs. And it is true that automation threatens to displace many kinds of workers, as report after report has shown.” So while trump and the GOP brag about the jobs the tax cut will create they are turning a blind eye to the very real challenges facing a lot of workers today. Today, not some far off time in the future. And it’s not just drivers and factory workers that will feel the repercussions of automation, it’s other industries as well.

Yesterday there were Martin Luther King quotes flying all over the place. Leave it to Alan Alda to come up with the one that has real meaning for the mess we find ourself in.
“I may be the only one who never heard this quote before. I love it: "We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now." Martin Luther king, Jr.”

So I have MSNBC on and reporter’s are questioning trump’s doctor. I have the TV on mut. Having said that the banner news running at the bottom screen is quit entertaining.
So far my favorite is the one where the doctor wants trump to lose weight by diet and exercise.
That means no more McDonald Cheeseburgers and he will have to do away with the golf cart when playing golf.
Good luck with that.

Ding ding ding we have a winner.
Todd Levin...
“I'm confused about the merit-based argument for immigration. Isn't it suggesting we bring in skilled immigrants who will likely not just "take our jobs" but actually take the BEST, most desirable jobs from Americans vs. hard-working but unskilled immigrants?”
“Apologies if this all sounds naive, but all I hear from anti-immigration jerks is how people come from countries like Mexico and El Salvador and take American jobs. But the argument FOR merit-based immigration is we bring in skilled people...specifically to take American jobs?”
“And those "unskilled" immigrants (from "shithole" countries!) often end up doing jobs the majority of Americans--even unskilled ones--won't do, or won't do for the pay offered. PLUS, a lot of those unskilled immigrants work 2-3 jobs. They work hard as hell to be here.”
One of the reply’s to Todd’s thread was this one from Nicola Malcom...
“Fwiw, I moved to the US when I was six when my dad was sponsored by a technology corp for a VP position. We have many, many family friends with the same story. Media focus tends to be on unskilled/undocumented while tons of top jobs go to legal/sponsored immigrants unchecked.”
When I read Tom Cotton’s Immigration bill this is exactly what I thought. That is the bill trump is latching on to.

“The Director of Homeland Security, under oath, admitted that Donald Trump did say he would like to see more immigrants from Norway instead of Haiti or Africa.
She then said this wasn't racist, but because Trump thinks Europeans are "underrepresented" in the United States.”
Translation: Country moving from a white majority and we can’t have that.

Well, then maybe that's why Fox is running the documentary on Clinton's impeachment. Doesn’t surprise me in the least that Fox would run that. Too bad that they cannot even run just a little bit if what Trump has done that certainly surpasses the pig behavior of Bill Clinton. But I guess that’s what happens when Fox has their heads so far up the asses of the lying Cheeto in charge and those liars in the GOP. It’s always okay if you’re Republican.

trump’s story....
“New report from DOJ & DHS shows that nearly 3 in 4 individuals convicted of terrorism-related charges are foreign-born. We have submitted to Congress a list of resources and reforms....
....we need to keep America safe, including moving away from a random chain migration and lottery system, to one that is merit-based. dhs.gov/publication/ex…”
And here is the rest of the story from Kurt Eichenwald...
“Sigh. To get "75% of terrorists convicted in US are foreign born" Trumpers included a slew of ppl captured overseas & brought to America for trial. Amazing that people born and living in other countries are foreign born. WHY do the analysis if ur just going to manipulate outcome?”
Good question.
