Which social media genius decided to film Bernie Sanders --the presidential candidate people accuse of being a socialist -- in front of empty grocery shelvespic.twitter.com/hpPRh7irRU
Why is less clear. Either he's a Trumpian mole, or else he really does believe in the Leninist conception of history whereby Mensheviks and other leftists need to be destroyed so that the vanguard i.e. Bolshevik have the run of the leftist landscape...

How did we get to the point that we have a terrorist supporter named Tlaib joining forces with a left-wing presidential candidate who's a warmed-over Bolshevik?
[MarketWatch] Comments from the pair of deep-pocketed investors join others including Leon Cooperman and Robert Citrone That’s how Steve Cohen, the man behind the$15 billion hedge fund Point72 Asset Management, sees the run-up to the 2020 election playing out for investors.
Cohen was speaking at the Robin Hood Investors Conference in New York on Monday, according to Bloomberg. He was joined by fellow hedge-fund billionaire Paul Tudor Jones, who agreed the market is careening toward a volatile future.
For his part, Jones said that if Elizabeth Warren were to win the election, the S&P 500 SPX, -0.08% would drop by about 25% and economic growth in the U.S. would slip to 1% from estimates of more than 2% this year.
Cohen predicted Warren only need win the Democratic nomination for a double-digit drop in the stock market to take place, according to Bloomberg’s report.
The views of Cohen and Jones echo those of fellow Wall Street billionaires Rob Citrone and Leon Cooperman, in making bearish market forecasts should Warren’s rise toward the White House continue.
Jones told the audience that Warren’s more centrist opponents, like Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg, would also be a drag on the market, just not as severe.
Trump, on the other hand, would boost the S&P 500 to 3,600, Jones estimated, which would be an 18% surge from the close of trading on Monday

the financial sector was trying as hard as it could to stop Trump and they couldn't
they are pretty reconciled to Trump now
but no amount of financial warnings from big money people will stop Warren or Sanders; in fact they probably welcome such moves as it plays well with their base
what is interesting is whether Obama would actually vigorously support Warren or Sanders or just give them mealy mouth support

Maybe Warren should try black-face. It worked for Trudeau to get Obama's love..
[Free Beacon] Presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) said he would support leveraging American aid to Israel to pressure the country into changing its policies.
Sanders argued the United States should threaten to withhold aid if Israel did not pledge to surrender territory to Palestinian political authorities. The Vermont senator told former Obama administration officials Tommy Vietor and Ben Rhodes that the United States should demand the "Israeli government sit down with the Palestinian people and negotiate an agreement that works for all parties."
"I would use the leverage. $3.8 billion is a lot of money, and we cannot give it carte blanche to the Israeli government or for that matter to any government at all," he said. "We have a right to demand respect for human rights and democracy."
Multiple Democratic presidential candidates have pledged to withhold funding to Israel if the country did not implement a two-party state. Vietor asked the Vermont senator how he would leverage American aid to end what Sanders has described as an "absolutely inhumane" and "unacceptable" situation in Gaza.
"We have a right to say to the Israeli government that the United States of America and our taxpayers and our people believe in human rights, we believe in democracy, we will not accept authoritarianism or racism," Sanders said.

[The Federalist] House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who is overseeing the ongoing illegitimate impeachment inquiry set in motion by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is reportedly telling witnesses testifying not to answer questions asked by Republican lawmakers.
Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., slammed the hidden process claiming Schiff was instructing witnesses testifying behind the closed doors of the SCIF not to answer questions asked by Republican members.
"He’s directing witnesses not to answer questions that he doesn’t want the witness to answer if they’re asked by Republicans," Scalise charged. "He’s not cut off one Democrat. He’s not interrupted one Democrat and told a witness not to answer Democrat members’ questions but today he started telling witnesses not to answer questions by certain Republicans."

One question that Schiff barred a witness from answering reportedly came from Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan, who asked Vindman to disclose the individuals with whom he shared information about the July 25 phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky.
“Adam Schiff says, ‘no-no-no we’re not going to let him answer that question,’” Jordan said as reported by Fox News.
Vindman is the leak. He needs to go to jail.

Vindman is the leak.
But he said he wasn’t the leak, and he only shared the transcript with a few people. And he was wearing his full dress uniform with all the service ribbons, so he must have been telling the truth.
[Breitbart] National Security Council (NSC) official Alexander Vindman showed up to testify Tuesday as part of the Democrats’ closed-door impeachment inquiry into President Trump in full military uniform.
This is despite not wearing one to work every day at the NSC, according to several sources.
Although Vindman is a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, he is serving an assignment at the NSC as the director for European Affairs. According to sources at the NSC, Vindman does not wear his uniform to work at the NSC, where the standard dress is business wear.
One source said he donned the uniform "just for show." The source pointed out that Vindman was ironically wearing a presidential service badge on his uniform ‐ as he testifies on his concerns about Trump’s handling of Ukraine policy.
Vindman’s opening statement, which was leaked to the New York Times the night before his testimony, showed he was concerned that Ukraine helping investigate former Vice President Joe Biden would jeopardize bipartisan U.S. support for Ukraine.
According to the Times, Vindman, who was born in Ukraine and is fluent in Ukrainian and Russia, may have served as an informal adviser to Ukrainian officials looking for advice on how to deal with Rudy Giuliani’s efforts to investigate corruption by Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
According to the paper: "His heritage gave Colonel Vindman, who is fluent in both Ukrainian and Russian, unique insight into Mr. Trump’s pressure campaign; on numerous occasions, Ukrainian officials sought him out for advice about how to deal with Mr. Giuliani."
John Yoo, a former Bush administration Justice Department official, said Monday evening on Fox News’ "Ingraham Angle" that he found it "astounding" that Vindman would be advising Ukrainian officials against Trump’s interests.
"You know, some people might call that espionage," Yoo said.
Some mainstream media journalists noted Vindman arrived in "full uniform" and criticized those who questioned Vindman’s loyalty to the U.S.
#3
While unseemly, the wearing of the uniform is not the issue. Please correct me if I am wrong, but voluntarily appearing before a partisan Democrat kangaroo court without military authorization and legal council is the issue.
Was he obligated to speak due to an official subpoena or at the direction of this chain of command...POTUS, NSC, Pentagon, State Department? What am I missing ?
#6
I don't see any flags (so to speak) with regard to his record, assignments, decorations, etc. Looks fairly standard. If you run across a copy of his Officer Record Brief (ORB), that might provide additional information (specific position held, leadership, command, etc.)
His loyalty, or lack thereof, to the Commander in Chief cannot be questioned. It would appear he has no plans for future service or promotions, possibly only retirement. Ranger Hall of Fame....probably a non-start.
Please don't take offense, but the Russian connection and FAO placement and multiple assignments bothers me a bit. Dead-end for an Infantry officer, Battalion, Brigade, promotion to General Officer (GO), division command.... or it once was.
#8
We can't say he never showed courage under fire or didn't take shrapnel in a fight. That'd be uncharitable. All that doesn't give him the right to backstab his CinC though.
#9
You know, this cannot be acceptable to any army. If encouraged, this will be a precedent for so much shit it will be impossible to keep disgruntled or greedy bastards from holding administrations to ransom.
#10
No. I mean is he a real officer or a staff puke?
Because if he ever commanded anything except a secretarial pool, IMO, it would've been in his newspaper interview alongside the other boasts (in US military you can take all kinds of courses without being a part of that unit - means zip).
#11
Ref #7: Something about his eyes and his words tells me this guy is a deepState prop though.
Foreign Area Assignment (FAO) is (or was) voluntary. Leaders generally seek troop leading or leadership positions. He had all the tickets for a future Army leader, Airborne Ranger, CIB. His interests and objectives were obviously political in nature.
#16
Your guide on the ribbons. Note that the stuff below the purple heart are generally for good performance for a tour at rank level (sort of like a gold star handed out by your teacher).
#17
Perspective of a life-long civilian: He used the uniform as a prop, to color the weight of his "testimony," which is a disgrace. The whole sh*tshow is being choreographed and I'm sure wardrobe told him to wear it.

Get you. Wish I could say we don't have the type in Israel - but, of course, we do.

So the uniform of an FAO is really not an issue. They wear suits during their normal workday in an effort to lower the visibility and not be defined by the uniform. The FAOs traditionally work at embassies, state department buildings and other 3 letter agencies that all have desired attire policies. This is nothing new. His wearing the uniform to testify at congress is also appropriate. He should be in uniform when testifying. So far so good.
His public second guessing a sitting president while monitoring a phone conversation is a crime. He released TS communication in an office to a coworker. He should, at the very least lose his TS clearance. There is a process for FAOs if they hear a diplomat go off script. He was to report it using classified channels. He also has the IG to take it to. None of which he did, because he knew he would get hammered for bringing personal opinions to a national strategic conversation between two presidents.
His own statement admits he put the Ukraine's better interest above that of the president and the United States when he commented on any investigation could get congress to act against the Ukraine. This means to me his loyalty or concerns for Ukraine influenced his performance and he had really no true knowledge of what the president was asking the Ukrainian president for, except what he heard at the water cooler or on MSNBC. We have a term for him and its called going native. His country or effort and his programs became more important than our national security. He might have, or still, love America, but he failed our nation. He forgot what side of the conversation he represents, and now his disgrace to the uniform and our nation is all over the news for all to see. In the FAO world he will be used as an example of what not to be.

Ouch. The rest of 49 Pan’s thoughts on the subject are scathing, but that final sentence ties up his judgement of our Lt. Colonel with a beautiful bow.
Yeah. Except that Nora Roberts on CBS News last night was breathlessly hailing his testimony as a "bombshell" and the "last nail in the coffin" when all he really had to say is that he disagrees with Trump so he leaked. The news is not the news anymore. Nora Roberts is like a carnival barker at the shitshow.

See Donald Sensing's comments on Lt. Col. Vindman. http://senseofevents.blogspot.com/2019/10/lt-col-vindman-is-tool.html#links
As 49 Pan said, at the least this tool should lose his security clearance and be dismissed from the NSC. He went to Congress in direct violation of orders from the White House. He should be court-martialed just for that alone. He won't be, of course, but should be.

Clearly gunning for a cushy six-figure gig on cable as an "analyst"
[Breitbart] Rep. Jeff Van Drew (D-NJ) said Tuesday that he will likely vote against a resolution by House Democrats to formalize their secret impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, prompting more uncertainly around whether Thursday’s expected vote will go on as planned.
Asked by NBC News reporter Alex Moe if he supports the measure, Van Drew replied: "I would imagine that I’m not voting for it." Van Drew, whose district President Trump won in 2016, is among roughly a dozen House Democrats who oppose the impeachment inquiry. "I have long maintained the position that the impeachment or potential impeachment would not be good for Democrats or Republicans," the lawmaker told Fox News in September.
The House announced Monday that it will move Thursday to determine whether to establish impeachment inquiry procedures into President Trump. The text of the resolution was not immediately released, but House Rule Committee Chairman Jim McGovern (D-MA) said it would "provide a clear path forward" on the impeachment inquiry.
However, even before Van Drew’s comments, House Majority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) had already poured some cold water on plans to vote for the measure Thursday, telling reporters on Capitol Hill: "We’re going to have to consider whether or not it’s ready to go on Thursday. I hope that’s the case."

If it fails then it totally delegitimizes everything that Schifferbrains is doing.
The fact the majority whip doesn't want to vote on Thursday means he's afraid it will fail and he wants more time to put pressure on wobbly purple district representatives.

The way I understand it Pelosi calling for a vote means that all of the Democrats in the primary campaign (except Biden and Budageg) have to stop campaigning and return to vote or else explain to the zealots why they didn't vote for impeachment.
Basically she kneecapped them and gave Biden a leg up.
[APNEWS] George Papadopoulos, a former Trump campaign aide who was a key figure in the FBI’s Russia probe, filed paperwork Tuesday to run for the U.S. House seat being vacated by Democrat Katie Hill.
Papadopoulos didn’t immediately comment, but on Sunday he tweeted, "I love my state too much to see it run down by candidates like Hill. All talk, no action, and a bunch of sellouts."
Hill, whose district covers Los Angeles County, announced her resignation on Sunday amid an ethics probe into allegations she had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
She’s admitted to a consensual relationship with a campaign staff member, but denied one with a congressional staff member, which would violate U.S. House rules. She’s called herself the victim of Dire Revenge porn by an abusive husband she is divorcing.
Papadopoulos, meanwhile, was a key figure in the FBI’s Russia probe into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign. That investigation began after revelations that Papadopoulos had learned in 2016 from a Maltese professor that Russia had "dirt" on Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away... in the form of thousands of emails. He then used that connection to try to set up a meeting between President Donald Trump ...the Nailer of NAFTA... , then a candidate, and Russian President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... Papadopoulos eventually pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and cooperated in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. He was sentenced in fall 2018 to 14 days in prison.
He enters a field of at least three other Republicans and one Democrat. The other Republicans are Navy veteran Mike Garcia, bank executive Angela Jacobs Underwood and Mark Cripe, who works for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Former Republican Rep. Steve Knight, who lost the seat to Hill in 2018, is also considering running.

According to USA: "A special election to fill Hill’s seat cannot be set by Gov. Gavin Newsom until she officially leaves Congress, which she has not done. It’s possible there is no special election, depending on how long she waits to leave office. That would make the next election for the seat in November 2020."
There are three Republicans and one Democrat who have filed for Hill's seat. How does CA handle this in a special election or the general election? Is there going to be a risk of splitting the Pub vote with 3 Pub candidates; thus insuring the Dem will win?
#2
Rest assured that Newsom and Hill will consult with each other to determine the time that will be most advantageous for Democrats and most disadvantageous for Republicans.

U.S. election law prohibits foreign nationals from making those sorts of political contributions. But the donations Sheikh Mohammed Al Rahbani tried to send to Obama’s inaugural committee were funneled through a seasoned straw donor, the records and the AP analysis show.
That intermediary, Imaad Zuberi, agreed this month to plead guilty to making illegal campaign contributions to several American political candidates on behalf of foreign nationals. He is also set to plead guilty to concealing his work as a foreign agent as he lobbied high-level U.S. government officials.
Zuberi, a jet-setting fundraiser and venture capitalist, has raised millions of dollars for Democrats and Republicans alike over the years. Prosecutors say he has worked on behalf of several foreigners, not just Rahbani.
He served as a top fundraiser for both Obama and Hillary Clinton during their presidential runs, including stints on both of their campaign finance committees, before switching his support to President Donald Trump immediately after his 2016 victory, pumping nearly $1 million into the Republican’s inaugural committee.

[PowerlineBlog] Judge Emmet Sullivan reportedly has cancelled a November hearing he had scheduled in the case of Gen. Michael Flynn. Judge Sullivan said he is cancelling the hearing "in view of the parties’ comprehensive briefing concerning Defendant’s Motion to Compel Production of Brady Material." In other words, he has all the argumentation he needs to rule on this motion.
In this post, John discussed and embedded Flynn’s reply brief in support of that motion, filed by Sidney Powell. He described the evidence presented by Powell on Flynn’s behalf as "bombshells." I think that’s a fair characterization.
The cancellation of oral argument tells us that Judge Sullivan is ready to rule, but not what his ruling will be. I understand, though, that Gen. Flynn’s legal team considers today’s order by Sullivan good news. Its comprehensive discussion of prosecutorial abuse in this matter stands unrebutted.
Let’s hope Judge Sullivan sees it this way. Michael Flynn has endured unconscionable treatment from the country he served with great distinction.
As John wrote in his post about Sidney Powell’s brief on Gen. Flynn’s behalf:
The Flynn prosecution has lifted the lid on corruption at the Department of Justice and the FBI that few could have imagined. The anti-Trump FBI conducted itself in a way we might associate with a totalitarian state, not the United States of America.
For the most part, the people involved have been fired in disgrace. I am no expert in criminal law, but it seems that some of what happened here‐for example, the falsification of the Form 302‐must be a crime. If crimes were committed, they should be prosecuted. The prosecution of General Flynn should be dismissed, and those involved in it should be, if not prosecuted, censured.
#2
If Judge Sullivan rules in favor of General Flynn that exculpatory information was withheld; that would seem to indicate prosecutorial misconduct. Will the DOJ go after that? Some on the Mueller team have a history of prosecutorial misconduct in the past.
[Washington Examiner] Michelle Obama spoke out against "white flight" in a recent interview, saying she experienced it as a kid and that it remains a problem.
"As families like ours ‐ upstanding families like ours who were doing everything we were supposed to do and better. As we moved in, white folks moved out because they were afraid of what our families represented," the former first lady said Tuesday at the Obama Foundation Summit in Chicago.
"I want to remind white folks that y’all were running from us ... This family, with all the values that you read about, you were running from us. And you’re still running because we’re no different than the immigrant families that are moving in," she continued. "The families that are coming from other places to try to do better. But, because we can so easily wash over who we really were ‐ because of the color of our skin, because of the texture of our hair ‐ that’s what divides countries, artificial things."
Obama, 55, said she grew up with a "sense of justice" and understood from a young age that white people were fleeing her neighborhood.
She talked about the issue of white flight in her bestselling book Becoming. Obama noted that she grew up in South Side of Chicago while her husband came to the South Side by choice. Pretty accurate assessment, I'd say. But it implies some sort of fault on the part of whites, rather than good sense. There's a tipping point in racial balance, as two different cultures (not skin colors or hair textures) have to accommodate each other. You can make the different parties white:black, or Christian:Moslem, Anglo:Hispanic, pick a dissimilar pair. 9:1 there's likely no friction, 1:9 the left hand party's feeling outnumbered. It's worse than most with black:white, though Moslem:Christian's not far behind (see Somali neighborhoods in Michigan, and Turk neighborhoods in Berlin, Syrian resettlement areas most places in Germany or Sweden). The more culturally aggressive culture sees the more sedate (as in law-abiding) culture as prey.
#3
I think the whites should fight instead of flee. Drive the coloreds into their ghettos and deprive them of the right to over-representation on basis of color. Their tribal culture of disrepect and revolt should be mocked, insulted and crushed into accepting nationalism as the main.
There should exist at least a modicum of armed and opposing civilian population that seeks this outcome. Someone from whom only the State can save wakandans.

They never do address the flight of upper and middle class blacks from the inner city to the suburbs. Desegregation allowed that and when it did the environment that would not tolerate destructive and self limiting behaviors disappeared. Look in the mirror!

Plenty of actual Africans in my neighborhood. Both my neighbors in fact, they are nice, good people. Even got asked to clear their backyard when their husky went crazy (He had a new possum friend cornered and was excited). We are nice to our neighbors and they are nice to us. Our neighborhood has many nationalities in it and yet we find they are all also proud Texans. They don't want ferals infesting our neighborhood anymore than we do.
#9
Someone should ask her what gentrification means. Oh, that's when whites move into black neighborhoods that are no longer hell-holes. The opposite of white flight which is when whites (and blacks that are able) leave neighborhoods they see going down hill fast.
Race is not a factor, economics is, but I wouldn't expect someone who sees everything through teh filter of race to understand that.

Before I came to live in a tiny desert town (population: weird), I lived in a majority black neighborhood in a large city (I'm white). Had bars on my windows, kept a revolver close at hand, and had my valuables in a safe - just like my black neighbors on either side. That was just the reality of the place. I liked living there for the most part. Liked to people for the most part. I didn't leave because of them. We ALL left because Mexican and Guatemalan families offered us so much money for our homes that we couldn't resist! I went to Nevada, they mostly went to Vallejo further up the delta.
Personally, as a neighbor I'm never afraid of what any upstanding family of any kind is doing. It's the not-so-upstanding families of any variety that worry me.
