Russia fighting Georgia for Ossetia. 2008-08-09 1:58 AM.
- Commentary

I heard a microscopic blurb on the radio this morning about violence between Russia and Georgia. The radio guy talked about missiles and fighting and troops and then went right on to discuss the opening ceremonies of the Olypmics or something, leaving me totally in the dark about news that sounded pretty freakin’ serious. Why do they even bother? 184 words.

It’s time for another episode of Behind The Tweet. This time, another “rogue” account: “GOP worried if they press Rus-Pres ties & impeach, possibility of new election could occur; smartest play for dems - promise no redo.” - @RogueSNRadvisor If you still held any lingering doubts about whether these rogue accounts were fake, this should seal it for you. Either it’s fake, or senior White House advisers are dumb as rocks, which would be even more alarming. 270 words.

Yet another example of why you should never trust a tweet. Saw this on Twitter: BREAKING—In mere weeks we went from "no collusion with Russia" to "here's a Letter of Intent Trump signed with some Russians while running." pic.twitter.com/GcFmGRnpd8 — Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) September 9, 2017 Seth Abramson, a lawyer according to his bio (but mainly a pundit) said, and I quote, “here’s a Letter of Intent Trump signed with some Russians while running.” 230 words.

Mueller Charges. 2017-10-29 12:48 AM.

People are pretty excited this weekend about Mueller filing charges. I saw someone on Twitter who actually thought the president would be arrested on Monday. Now I haven’t read the story so I don’t know what it’s all about, but I would be amazed to see anyone around Trump (today) get arrested. The only people to get arrested are going to low-level nobodys that we’ve never heard of. But I want to go back to the dream that “the resistance” is going to see the president leaving the Oval Office in handcuffs. 372 words.
