monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

no one of consequence has called the bluff.

Conservatives from Hannity and the RNC on down are conveniently ignoring the fact that this is just one indictment from an investigation that is still ongoing. The indictment indicates that Trump-associated political operatives were unwitting participants in this specific series of alleged criminal activities. It does not say that the illegal actions it describes encompass the entirety of the Russian election-meddling campaign. There very well may be more indictments on the way, and they could be related to known instances of Russian interference that today’s indictment didn’t touch on at all: the hacking of the DNC’s emails, the July 2016 Trump Tower meeting, etc.


During his press conference announcing today’s indictment, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was extremely careful and unfailingly precise in how he described the involvement by Americans in the alleged Russian criminal conspiracy. “There is no allegation in this indictment that any American was a knowing participant in this illegal activity,” Rosenstein said (emphasis added). When asked what relationship Trump campaign officials had to the Russian conspiracy, Rosenstein again applied the same precise language. “There’s no allegation in this indictment that any American had any knowledge.”

IS DONALD TRUMP A TRAITOR?

Let's not forget that the reason we didn't learn about this before Election Day 2016 was that Mitch McConnell blocked a bipartisan effort to make the public aware of Russian interference.

This is one bit that caught my eye too. And it confuses me how Rosenstein can then say, "There is no allegation in the indictment that any American was a knowing participant in the alleged unlawful activity."

Maybe I'm missing something there, but it doesn't add up

This dude has become a very scummy little worm

Tucker Carlson blames Trump/Russia investigation for keeping FBI agents "too busy to stop school shootings"

And this makes sense because the FBI has a meager staff of 30-40 thousand.

...Further, the "outlandish partisan attacks, wild and false allegations, and far-fetched theories" is straight propaganda - most of the reporting/analysis on Russian meddling has proved amazingly accurate.

Students to Boycott Schools Until Congress Acts on Guns
In response to Wednesday's school shooting in Florida, high school students and teachers across the country are planning walkouts this spring to push Congress to act on guns.
On Twitter, students used the hashtags #NationalSchoolWalkout, #April20 and #April20Walkout to plan mass boycotts on the anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting on April 20, 1999, as well as a separate walkout on March 14. Thousands have signed a petition from the Twitter account "National School Walkout." The goal: to make Congress listen to a population that, for the most part, doesn't have voting rights.
"Nothing has changed since Columbine," reads the petition on change.org. "Let us start a movement that lets the government know the time for change is now."

It's unclear where, exactly, the movement started, and there's a separate school walkout planned for March 14, which was circulated by the Twitter account "Women's March Youth." That walkout will last for 17 minutes, to honor the 17 victims in the Parkland, Florida, shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

"Enough is enough!" the post reads. "Women's March Youth EMPOWER is calling for students, teachers, and allies to take part in a #NationalSchoolWalkout for 17 minutes at 10am on March 14, 2018."
On a Facebook event page with thousands of attendees, organizers of the Women's March urged not only students but also parents, teachers and administrators, to join in for the 17 minutes.
"Parents have the right to send their kids to school in the mornings and see them home alive at the end of the day," they wrote.
It's a call to action from a demographic that has been vocal during this week's tragedy. Twitter accounts from classmates of those killed on Wednesday featured strong words for anyone who doubted the need for gun laws. In a response to a tweet from President Donald Trump offering "thoughts and prayers" for the victims, a student of the high school tweeted: "Why was a student able to terrorize my school mr president."

Trump lies, distorts, mischaracterizes or outright invents something out of whole cloth an average of nearly six times a day. That has been documented. Every time he opens hias mouth it's pretty good odds something untrue is going to come out of it. Reporting that is unbiased reporting. Every time he says something untrue and the media don't call him on it, that is biased reporting FOR Trump, and he get away with the falsehoods the great majority of the time. If there is any bias, it is in effect bias FOR Trump in the name of "balance".

I don't know what you mean with "PTB" - certainly not pulmonary tuberculosis (my father was the head physician of two related clinics), or the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (an acquaintance worked there and I could visit some institutes).

It's sobering to recognize how much destruction in the world can be brought about by one sociopath.

Tucker Carlson should be ashamed of himself.

Please cite, say, two dates when he lied six or more times and state the lies or else withdraw the assertion. It should be easy if, as you assert, this happens every day. Secondly, your statement that the media has a bias for Trump is unproven, and, I believe, false.
