I’m really starting to wonder whether the media are this purposely self-aware, of if they’ve gotten high on their own supply for so long that they don’t even see it anymore.
Last Tuesday, we had elections across the country, including a race for governor in Kentucky. That race led to the Democrat winning by some 0.4% and only 5,000 votes. This was actually somewhat surprising, as Matt Bevin was incredibly unpopular. The rest of the GOP ticket in the state went on to victory at every other statewide office, including a decisive win for Daniel Cameron, the states first Republican AG in 70 years and the first African-American one in their history.

Regardless, Bevin’s loss was always going to be what was focused on because it gave rise to the narrative that Donald Trump is in trouble. When Bevin refused to concede immediately due to the narrow margin, we quickly got articles pushed out like this.
We will see if the articles are accurate about KY.
Remember that Trump is the only candidate in our lifetime to suggest that he might not accept the election results if he had lost.

In case any of you are unfamiliar with this group, Black Womxn is “an organizing collective of leaders, activists, artists, writers, and political strategists from across the country in the fight for Black Liberation. The last presidential election laid bare what many Black women, gender non-conforming, and non-binary, and queer folk know deeply; that this nation embraces white supremacy and its evils, even at the expense of itself.”
Anyway, this organization has just given their endorsement to Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Which is very nice for Elizabeth and certainly she has to express her gratitude for their vote of confidence. But she took it a little too far.



Elizabeth Warren tweeted her thanks.
Thank you, @BlackWomxnFor! Black trans and cis women, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary people are the backbone of our democracy and I don’t take this endorsement lightly. I’m committed to fighting alongside you for the big, structural change our country needs.
 
Blacks don’t like gay people, especially gays that bash the worst president evah.
 
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Monday he was “sorry” the governor of his home state lost his reelection bid to a Democrat last week, but suggested it was time to move on and accept the results.
 
She knows her home when she finds it...

A senior Trump administration official has embellished her résumé with misleading claims about her professional background — even creating a fake Time magazine cover with her face on it — raising questions about her qualifications to hold a top position at the State Department.

Mina Chang, the deputy assistant secretary in the State Department's Bureau of Conflict and Stability Operations, has inflated her educational achievements — like claiming, falsely, to be a Harvard grad — and exaggerated the scope of her nonprofit's work.



Whatever her qualifications, Chang had a key connection in the Trump administration. Brian Bulatao, a top figure in the State Department and longtime friend of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, attended a fundraiser for her nonprofit in Dallas and once donated $5,500 to her charity, according to a former colleague of Chang's.

Chang, who assumed her post in April, also invented a role on a U.N. panel, claimed she had addressed both the Democratic and Republican national conventions, and implied she had testified before Congress.
 
Comedy legend John Cleese said there may be no point in trying to argue with Fox News viewers who support President Donald Trump.
″[T]he people who support him are basically so ignorant because they only ever get news from Fox News,” the Monty Python alum told The Daily Beast. “I don’t know what you say to people like that.”
Spot on, faux viewers always look amazed when told what is actually happening in the real world and wonder where that info comes from. Cuz they have never heard such things before and believe the most outlandish insanity. Anyone with any commonsense sees through the propaganda they are fed . . . but not them, they lack the wherewithal.
