We posted data earlier on Russian bot activity on twitter had produced a 2000% increase in the hashtag "releasethememo". As of now, the same Russian bot networks have pushed "schumershutdown" into a similar range. Link/graphs Here

You parroted propaganda meant to bolster the unproven theory that Russians are behind the DNC loss in the last election cycle.

Those "bots" have groups and pages on facebook and other social media, and are laughing their collective heads off about being called a Russian, and a bot.

BREAKING: House Intel Committee Officially Begins Process To #ReleaseTheMemo

After millions of Americans called on Congress to release the bombshell FISA abuse memo, Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH) announced Saturday that the process has officially begun.

“Great news! Our efforts to #ReleaseTheMemo have been effective and the HPSIC plans to begin the process to release the FBI/FISA/Russia memo. This may take up to 19+ Congressional work days but Americans deserve to know the truth,” tweeted Joyce.

Quote:

On Friday, Republican lawmakers started publically lobbying Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes to release the memo.

“Earlier this morning, I examined the classified, four-page memo from @HouseIntelComm regarding the FBI, DOJ, and the so-called #RussianCollusion. To put it simply, “WOW.” I joined the call to #ReleaseTheMemo. Americans deserve truth and transparency,” tweeted Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA).

The letter was signed by Steve King, Matt Gaetz, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, Scott Perry, Ted Yoho, Jody Hice, Louie Gohmert, Barry Loudermilk and Brian Babin, reports Jim Hoft of The Gateway Pundit.

Incredible that Finn would acknowledge Plump's guilt in the latest clown show debacle--but it's really hilarious to see him sneering at a Democrat for playing politics, when that's about all the Republicans have done since the 1994 midterm election. Can anyone say obstructionists?

The Democrats like to falsely accuse the Republicans of obstruction, but it's just a myth to cover up the Democrats' own failures.

Turkey is looking for another minority to commit genocide against.

The Kurds are upstanding people who just want Turkey to stop murdering them.

The moral decision here is pretty easy. You just need to figure out how important "doing the right thing" is to you.

@Setanta,

Well, at least you've discarded your pathetic "Finny" epithet. Good to see that you are maturing.

It's ironic that someone who is just about sneer personified see sneers where they don't exist.

I wasn't sneering at Schummer; simply pointing out that he no longer has the right to bleat about Trump's lack of dignity.

You do know what "sneer" means don't you? Considering it's one of your favorite words, you should.

@Finn dAbuzz,

You are not in a position to talk about anyone else's maturity. Shortly after you arrived at this site, you offered to kick my dog. I hardly knew you at that time, and did not remember you from Abuzz--but it nicely sums up the quality of your contribution here, then and ever since.

To make up for his transgressions, Steve Bannon is eliminating potential witnesses against Trump, eh?

Border Patrol testing drones

NOGALES, Ariz. – Hoping to help agents in the field, the Border Patrol is testing a fleet of personal drones, giving agents in remote areas eyes where they are currently blind.

“This drone could be deployed to assist agents on the ground, moving to a target or moving in on a group it detects,” said Border Patrol Agent Jason Weatherby. “Something like this in orbit can cover a large swath of desert area, as opposed to our fixed camera systems that are focalized into what they can see,” said Weatherby.

What they don't mention here is that drones can be used not only to "see" a target, but also to take a target plumb the **** OUT, eh!?

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection, CBP, is a law enforcement organisation, correct? (Well, at least it's what they say.)
Or did it become a military unit?
And if 'yes', one which can disregard the Hague Conventions?

Trump's tweet yesterday afternoon

Quote:

"Beautiful weather all over our great country, a perfect day for all Women to March. Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. Lowest female unemployment in 18 years!"

Damned effective tweet, don't you think? It totally blunts and even nullifies the size, the geographical spread and the enthusiasm of (what will be after sunday) one or two million women and men who despise pretty much everything that Trump represents.
