'The candidate has also started using more progressive talking points in his own rhetoric. He gave an angry populist interview to Politico in which he used the word hell five times (and asses once!) while complaining about banks and tax cuts, then told New York magazine that he believes our moment calls for an FDR-style presidency. According to an American Prospect piece, Biden has also made the FDR comparison repeatedly on his campaign podcast.

[...] Clinton did not have the instinct to reach out genially to the campaign she’d defeated; in fact, some of her staffers scheduled a videoconference to celebrate when Sanders announced he was dropping out this year. (It was canceled after BuzzFeed reported on it.)

[...] Joe Biden is old. He is older than Hillary Clinton or her husband. When Biden was born, FDR was the actual president. [...] In the words of his chief economist, he has the traits of a “retail politician.” Having solidified his hold over his party, he is offering something to the younger and more economically insecure voters who were skeptical of him during the primary under the cover of associating himself, during a historic crisis, with the president who won WWII and pulled the country out of the Great Depression. It’s a win-win, except for the super-rich, but they’ll get plenty of chances to talk Biden out of all this communist stuff if he actually gets elected. This is still America, after all.'

'Hackers claim they've got Trump's "dirty laundry"— and demand $42 million ransom to keep it private



[...] hacker group REvil launched a successful attack against celebrity law firm Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks [...] Hackers initially asked the law firm, which represents high-profile clients including Lady Gaga and Madonna, for $21 million, but they doubled their request on Thursday after claiming that they'd also obtained information on Trump. "Mr Trump, if you want to stay president, poke a sharp stick at the guys, otherwise you may forget this ambition forever," the hackers wrote in a threat posted online. "And to you voters, we can let you know that after such a publication, you certainly don't want to see him as president… The deadline is one week."'

I Trump's defense, as far as I understand it, Putin is the one pushing the US to develop more powerful weaponry. Russia has that nuclear torpedo project and their high speed missiles.

'Donald Trump Jr., who is one of his father’s most prominent campaign surrogates, put on Instagram a picture of Mr. Biden saying: “See you later, alligator” alongside an image of an alligator saying: “In a while, pedophile.”

When a reporter shared the Instagram post online, the younger Mr. Trump, echoing one of his father’s tactics, wrote on Twitter that he was only “joking around” and noted that he had included emojis of a laughing face.

Yet in the same Twitter post, he also reprised his original insinuation. He accused the former vice president of “unwanted touching” alongside a collage of photographs of Mr. Biden showing affection for children. The misleading images were mostly taken from public swearing-in ceremonies at the Capitol, where the former vice president warmly greeted lawmakers and their families.'

'After ending stay-at-home orders earlier than most states, Georgia last week reported that—contrary to dire warnings—the state had seen a dramatic decrease in the number of new COVID-19 cases and deaths. Very quickly, national media like The Wall Street Journal were crowing over this "welcome trend."

But that "welcome trend" appears to be a mirage. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp's office has since said that cases in the Peach State have not declined significantly and tracking data suggesting otherwise was misleading.

[...] "The state of Georgia made it look like its covid cases were going down ***by putting the dates out of order on its chart*** May 5 was followed by April 25, then back to May again, whatever made it look like a downslope.

'Nancy Pelosi Calls Trump "Morbidly Obese"

[...] during an interview Monday night with Anderson Cooper on CNN. Asked by the anchor for her reaction to the news that the president is apparently taking the unproven anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a prophylactic against COVID-19 against the recommendations of the FDA, Pelosi said, “I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his, shall we say, weight group, morbidly obese, they say. So I think it’s not a good idea.”'

"So now he has binders of women and he's looking through," she added. "And he's got people like Sally Yates and Susan Rice on this list. And those who are two women who were very involved in the shenanigans that were happening in the days before [Trump took office].'

The Office of Protocol helped Pompeo and his wife Susan host intimate, taxpayer-funded dinners with elite conservatives that the IG had also been probing.'
