Meh... there will be much rejoicing on the left as #OrangeManBad is embellished, and much complaining on the right about a disgruntled #NeverTrump-er/ deep stater. They are releasing the "juicy" parts on an expected court battle. Not sure why this was not resolved long ago. </snip> The Trump administration has long contended that a manuscript of Bolton’s memoir contained classified information, but that the way the material was woven into the narrative would make a traditional “scrub” impossible. </snip> Trump's "transgressions" on the Ukraine call!? Yeah, this is a way to make a buck while smearing Trump over nothing. A $2M advance...money laundering, the DC way! </snip> The memoir is expected to claim that Trump’s “transgressions” went well beyond the Ukraine saga that led to his impeachment and alleged that “reelection calculations” drove the president’s major decisions, according to a press release for the book. </snip>

TMI!!!

Meh, he probably has fantasies about her using that binder on him, IYKWIMAITYD.

Early on in this thread that was a question asked many times. It will take a while to see the year-to-year on this, as well as how many people die next year, for comparisons.

The unemployment bonus runs out July 31st. They are in talks now on what to continue on that. The emergency declaration Trump signed is what I was wondering about (an end date).

When does the current federal emergency run out? IOW, if it runs out before the fall and there are no new federal dollars... California may have to rethink a second shutdown.

I doubt there will ever be a retraction or apology. A news agency went after another news' agencies revenue because they did not like what that second news agency had to say. Google went along with it because hey, "nbc" and got unexpected blowback. They quickly saved face by saying "comments" and got the Federalist to agree to remove them. However, a buncha Senators were unhappy with Google, and now Barr has more ammo. I am not sure how any of this will play out. Everyday people are super pissed at the tech giants. The US alphabets use(d) them (didn't the CIA give google some early funding?)... they still need to be broken up.

This thread has a lot of truth in it: (more in the thread)

Er...

Youtube hardest hit.

I wonder if she will still have a job at NBC? Oh, someone will hire her asap if they do can her, I just wonder if whatever this made up NBC thing is, if they can afford to keep her on? Google does return adsense privileges to people. No, not to everyone, and no not the majority. However, it does happen and the process can take weeks, months, or years. A few hours? Ummm nopers. In this case, they blamed it on comments (that is a first I have ever heard of something like that) and the Federalist capitulated and turned them off. I have no idea if the Federalist will bring comments back in a moderated form. I am wondering if Vox, NBC, USA Today, NYT, etc will have their comments closely looked at, and their adsense accounts locked? I kid! I kid! That will never happen.

Nothing is allowed that will make you smile or laugh. Now, have a good evening, comrade.

I liked the comment telling them to never check the comments on youtube. Genuinely made me laugh.

You still watching him? We went over to my son's house for dinner this past weekend. I did not realize how much Cuomo was loathed by the 30-something-crowd. Who voted for this guy? And, who will run against him in two years?

And people wonder why the average American knows little about real current events.

Today is the last date to postmark absentee ballot applications for the NY-27 election.... according to the 4,527th notification on my phone.

Why it matters? Google has a lot of online control. Most online advertising is either on Google or Facebook, and most ad revenue comes from running some form of google ads (adsense, either directly or through an ad management company). They pay a publisher 68% of the revenue and they keep the rest. In 2018, that "rest" was $24.1B. Either by blocking their ads, or blocking them as a publisher, Google has made a decision that is purely to suppress a different point of view. The outcome they hope for is to drive the Federalist out of business. </snip> Google's ban of the websites comes after the company was notified of research conducted by the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a British nonprofit that combats online hate and misinformation. They found that 10 U.S-based websites have published what they say are racist articles about the protests, and projected that the websites would make millions of dollars through Google Ads. Google blocked The Federalist from its advertising platform after the NBC News Verification Unit brought the project to its attention. ZeroHedge had already been demonetized prior to NBC News’ enquiry, Google said. ZeroHedge and The Federalist did not respond to requests for comment. Imran Ahmed, CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, said it found advertisements for many companies that had otherwise made public statements supporting Black Lives Matter and the recent protests running on the websites. “We found that lots of those companies are inadvertently funding through their advertising content that is outright racist in defense of white supremacism and contains conspiracy theories about George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement," he said. </snip>

Oh, he's not the worst. Look into Mazie Hirono. Oy.
