Garbage People Doing Garbage Things:
Rupert Murdoch TV is now non-stop smearing of peaceful protesters in Minneapolis. It appears that he Fox attitude isn't even going over well with Fox viewers. On the other hand, Fox coverage and Iranian mullah-TV coverage of protests are almost identical in concept and approach.

holy shit — Fox News hosts Sandra Smith and John Roberts are desperately working to persuade their viewers that actually it's Democrats who are to blame for Trump's assault on Minnesota and the protests that are happening. Get a load of this commentary.

Days after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot a Minneapolis woman in an incident that was captured on video, voters 82 – 18 percent say they have seen a video of the shooting and a majority (53 percent) think the shooting was not justified, 35 percent think it was justified, and 12 percent did not offer an opinion, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll of registered voters released today.

One, I'm pretty sure that Niall Stanage is far from being a "left-wing hack." Two, the same woman railing about "biased opinions" from White House reporters is the same one who will place a MAGA sycophant in the "new media" seat to regurgitate the administration's talking points.

White House stashes Venezuela oil cash in Qatar banks: report
The White House has reportedly stashed millions of dollars from sales of Venezuelan oil in Qatari banks since the ouster of President Nicolas Maduro, raising huge questions about how the money will be allocated and if Congress and the American public will have a say.
An estimated $500 million from the first Venezuelan oil sales has already been deposited in U.S.-controlled accounts, but that could be the tip of the iceberg as American officials seek to broker sales of up to 50 million barrels of oil, Semafor reported Thursday.
More Gaslighting That Only a McMoron Would Believe:
Hassett: "We're seeing numbers like we saw right at the beginning of the Reagan administration, a little bit during the dot com years. But there have been very very few times in American economic history where things were as strong as they are. President Trump's policies have really really helped."

Nazi Miller-Jews for Hitler:
Stephen Miller: "With the thousands of officers that we have now in response to the incredible threats and violence in MN, there's within that an opportunity to interdict large numbers of these insurrectionists and then use them to gain insight into these networks and deliver criminal consequences."

Miller: "In MN, the insurrectionists are confronting our officers on the street. They're being arrested. This is a natl security priority. Arrests of insurrectionists are made every day, and each provide us an opportunity to learn about the network from a law enforcement & natl security standpoint"

Craven Assholes:
With a tiny majority, House GOP leaders tell members to show up unless it’s ‘life or death’
Their already razor-thin majority has shrunk in recent weeks, while other Republicans have been absent from votes, leading to floor mishaps.
As the slim House Republican majority hangs on a razor’s edge, lawmakers are getting a stern warning from party leadership: You should be absent only for matters of life and death.
That message has been delivered to members in recent party meetings and private conversations, according to multiple lawmakers, and it has taken on an increasing sense of urgency as the GOP’s margins have shrunk even further in recent weeks with the unexpected death of Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Calif., and the shock midsession retirement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.
