Bogus News Story Of The Day

Trump cites (fake) attack in Sweden. This weeks bogus story is another flat out lie about what Trump said. If you look at the linked story, it is at least honest enough to quote Trump. Nowhere in the quote does Trump say that a terrorist attack happened in Sweden. I think part of the problem is that newspaper reporters are so much in their bubble that longstanding talking points from conservatives about high rape rates driven by emigrants in Sweden has never entered their ears.

The Empire Strikes Back. This is the type of historical stuff being put on on conservative media. The part that makes this article bogus is all the blame on the “Deep State.” But nobody stuck a gun to Trump’s head and made him accept Flynn’s resignation. Nobody who wants to make Flynn out to be martyr seems to be paying attention to his own words where he says…..

Unfortunately, because of the fast pace of events, I inadvertently briefed the Vice President Elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian Ambassador. I have sincerely apologized to the President and the Vice President, and they have accepted my apology.

I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out what this means.
