I still do. The BIG push they're making for Greta Van Susteren includes her.

They've got a promo of her gushing about Van Susteren's arrival at MSNBC.

Even more galling - they're running (into the ground) a promo of Rachel gushing about how wonderful it was for Jodyanne Jerkmeoff to grace her show with an interview appearance - kiss-kiss-kiss. Rather disgusting, if you ask me.

Then, compound that with not only Van Susteren's coming aboard at MSNBC but also Megyn Kelly - to NBC News itself. Makes me sit up and say WTF???

Yep!

Kicking!

Might be a good idea to start keeping track of these people. That's one reason that sneaky little jerk james o'keefe keeps getting busted.

He really can't hide anymore, or operate under the radar. Too many people know about him now, and recognize him, and are onto him. He screwed ACORN, he tried to screw Shirley Sherrod, and Planned Parenthood, among others. He's been dragged out into the open one too many times for being a nogoodnik trying to pull stings. Just google James O'Keefe and fraud and you'll be drowning in stories. I was overwhelmed. Even a few I'd either forgotten about or just found out about, now, while searching.

He's been up to no good like this for long enough that observant and informed people have begun to recognize him, catching him in the act or on the prowl. Enough people by now know what he looks like, even when he tries to wear disguises.

Might ALSO be a good idea to try to think ahead. Undoubtedly, when he finally gets it through his big fat thick bloated ego that maybe he's TOO recognizable in public, there will be others wanting to be his heir-apparent, or steal his act and NOT get caught. Stay awake everybody! And connect the dots as often as possible!!!

Welcome to DU, ProudLib72!

It's a rather compelling argument, isn't it! Hmmm, lemme see... somebody with experience getting bridges inconveniently closed...

You'll notice that the trump team is trying to redirect your attention toward some terrible

something-or-other involving voting machines.

Voting machines?

Nobody's talking about voting machines! It hasn't even come up as any kind of major issue in any coverage of the report that I've seen. Voting machines??? This report is talking about something entlrely different than voting machines.

You know what this is? This is a trash can. Picture the villain, running down an alley lined with trash cans, trying to evade the cops. He pushes some of those trash cans over behind him so they fall all over the place and make a lot of noise and get in the way. Look! Look over THERE!

Welcome to DU dlk!

Yes she does. It still genuinely hurts me to think of all that talent for problem-solving in a practical and logical manner, wrapped up in cool-as-a-cucumber, all that talent - and it's out of reach. Not available. Not gonna happen. Nope, you can't have this. And dammit, with the nasty mess this country's descended to, it's exactly what we all NEED - and need NOW!!!

The tweet was reproduced in the NYTimes link in this OP.

I read it the first time and remembered it, but forgot where I'd seen it. I'd opened numerous items to read and just forgot. So a day later I go back and - D'OH!!! There it is, right there in the article itself.

Our own applegrove had a thread about this.

To which I say - GOOD!!! Bring on the repetition! All the better to "kinda catapult the propaganda." That's one tactic our Dems need to
work on - a TON more. TONS more!

Meryl Streep was right!

She had me up on my feet, standing at attention, and then saluting!

We're watching a five-year-old in a grown-up body.

Being a spoiled pissant. Throwing a tantrum. And to think there actually were voters who saw fit to pick him for president...
