In addition to Whitaker’s $1.2 million personal haul, he may have violated the Hatch Act by taking donations from three politically connected Iowa donors to his senate campaign earlier this year while he was working at DoJ. ⁦@kenvogel⁩ and me

his 2014 Senate campaign was taking donations
in 2017/18
while he was working at the DoJ

NEW: The DOJ released Matthew Whitaker’s personal financial disclosures today, which revealed that the forms had been edited five times in the two weeks since his appointment as Acting Attorney General. We just filed a FOIA request for all versions of it.

it pretty awesome that they don't bother vetting anyone bc the selection process is just Fredo picking dudes on tv that defend him

CBC News Alerts @CBCAlerts

Donald Trump has just tweeted a thank you to Saudi Arabia for current low oil prices, which he likens to 'a big Tax Cut for America and the World!' In fact, Canada is the US's biggest supplier of imported oil at 40%, compared to only 11% from Saudi Arabia.

Also, Saudi Arabia has sought to boost oil prices by promising to pump fewer barrels in December. A week ago, it backed a proposal for OPEC nations to cut production by one million barrels per day.

#CanadianShade

the gross thing is that he has probably been told all of this, but just really wanted to throw out those I LOVE YOU SAUDI ARABIA tweets

it was oddly satisfying to see wretched Hillary so clearly articulate the demented position of liberals and centrists, which is essentially, "using the military, the carceral state, and concentration camps to punish innocent people is the only way to prevent the right from using the military, the carceral state, and concentration camps to punish innocent people who try to escape the hell we insisted on creating in their homelands."

there's no quotes needed. It's a liberal position. If your position is different, you have a leftist position.

this might seem like semantics but I promise it's not. the conflation between liberalism and leftism is responsible for basically all of the confusion or appearance of hypocrisy in American and American-adjacent politics

like this analogy equating American parties to British parties works pretty well:

the American Democrats are the equivalent of a coalition between the Tories and the Liberal Democrats

there is no Labour in America

the GOP is the National Front

good post, comrade.

Pensions should be abolished? Or Wall Street? I guess it doesn’t make a difference to retirement accounts.

I wouldn’t lead with that in your campaign ad.

I imagine you support a Savid Dklansky style merit based governance. With controls for privilege and what not.

I feel like that author is exactly like the trump he’s describing only with an English degree and an ability to open Microsoft Word.
