The Leftist New Hot Take on Russian Trolls

It was once widely suspected and hard not to notice that democrat friendly media personalities were coordinating their narrative across multiple networks, shows, and publications. They swore they weren't, claiming that they were just doing the Lord's work by delivering honest, hard-hitting journalism. Many found it hard to buy that line. It simply seemed too weird that suddenly they'd all start saying the same things, at the same time, on the same day.

Then, the "JournList Scandal" broke, and scepitics knew they'd been right all along. JournoList was a google group created by Ezra Klein, where over 400 left-leaning reporters, hosts, and so-called thinkers organized messaging and discussed news narratives. It was shut down after being outed, but a media "Orchestrated GroupThink" (or as we call it here at DMF, a Media Circle Jerk) rose to take its place.

It was on full display this weekend as they put forth a particular narrative. It's a ridiculous position, but it's emerging everywhere you look - TV, print, and straight from the mouths of politicians themselves. It seems that a handful of Russian internet trolls and a measly $1.2 million in funding is pretty much the same thing as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Yes, that's really what they're saying.

As I said Here, Russian meddling in America is nothing new. No one has been able to provide a single shred of evidence that Russian trolling changed a single voter's mind in 2016 election, or any other.  We also know the red menace didn't "hack" Hillary into being the worst, most stilted, candidate in modern history. And we know that the Russian Bear didn't keep her from campaigning in the Midwest.

No wonder the media machine "colludes" to peddle its narratives. No sane person wants to be the only guy saying something this incredibly stupid.

Special Counsel Mueller Indicts Some Rooskies For Basically What They've Been Doing Since the Cold War Started

"The defendants used fake American personas, social media platforms, and other Internet media to advance their scheme....."

"By in or around May 2014, the organization's strategy included interfering with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, with the stated goal of "spread[ing] distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general....."

Is this any different than what the Russians have done since the 1960's, infiltrating college campus in Europe and America, influencing our education system that has given us communist educators and a Leftest sympathetic media?  They just have a new platform to use. And after the weakness of our national security and celebrity leadership for the 8 years of Obama, does this news actually surprise anyone? 

And meanwhile, George Soros walks about free.....

The Nutty Negress Of MSNBC and Another Fact-Free Brain Dropping

None other than the New York Times recently declared Joy Reid ‘the heroine of the Resistance” and few would argue with that. The media arm of the Resistance exists solely to lie and smear Donald Trump because the whinny leftist lost their Chicago Jesus and upset most of America doesn’t share in their liberal lunacy. And nobody is as full of shit and better at lying with a smile on her face as Joy Reid. In her latest line of things that are completely untrue, the MSNBC host puts forth the theory that Trump's ICE units have a quota to deport innocent people like math teachers and baseball dads, whatever the hell those are. Here’s the latest drivel and fact-free theory from Reid:

"A friend with experience in the intel world said something to me today that has stayed with me: that the Trump ICE raids terrorizing COC have the feel of filling a quota, and doing so by going after immigrants who will be easy to arrest (non-violent people with community ties.......DREAMers who after all, self-disclosed their addresses and other contact info).

Before we go any further, you maybe wondering what a “COC” is. So am I.  There about a million things that are abbreviated as COC, but none of them seem to fit. If I had to guess I’d say she’s saying “communities of color” because to the left everybody is colored these days, and she she is talking about illegal aliens. Whatever she means, here’s where she’s going with this:

 "If that is the case, are ICE agents essentially behaving the way police departments have when given quotas.. ....Are we living a national "Ferguson scenario" where ICE agents are engaged in deportation number inflation to allow Trump to say he kept his campaign promise to run "illegals" out of the U.S.? Of course Trump will claim they are "dangerous aliens" and gang members...but ICE doesn't have to deal with as many actually dangerous people when they can grab math teachers, doctors and baseball dads who won't resist"

There are many easy ways to disprove her theory, but I have the easiest one – If ICE were targeting innocent math teachers and baseball dads for deportation, that’s all there would be on the news, and that’s not the case. And Trump deported less illegal aliens in his first year than Obama did in his last year. If ICE has a quote system under Trump, their goal or their plan is do less than the previous administration. 

But I refer you to a more respectable news source that, unlike rumor and innuendo of MSNBC, uses actual facts.  And that would be The Washington Times of Feb 15.... 

"Despite claims that ICE agents are rounding up “innocent” illegal immigrants, the agency’s records show that some 90 percent of all arrests last year had criminal convictions or were wanted on charges. Just a bit over 10 percent had no known criminal convictions or charges. A new analysis of data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement done by the Pew Research Center not only popped claims that big percentages of non-criminal illegals were being arrested, but it showed that former President Obama’s administration was much more guilty of arresting non-criminal illegals. 

Pew titled their report, "Most immigrants arrested by ICE have prior criminal convictions, a big change from 2009."

There, Fixed It For You.......

This is Chelsea. Don't Be Like Chelsea.....

The noted Social Scientist, Substance Abuse Researcher, High Ranking Foot-Soldier in the Resistance, Psychic and believed by some to be Comedian, Chelsea Handler, took to the tweeter yesterday to share her latest research on the direction of humanity and our society.

That’s not actually a Darwin quote or even a paraphrasing of his ideas and yet somehow that’s the thing that’s least wrong with this tweet. As you can see Handler says we all need to be brown or gay, or be on board with the brown or gay thing to get on the train to the future, or we are not welcome in her society and will go extinct because we are not equipped to survive like brown & gay people. I think there are about 1.4 Billion or so Chinese that may just have a real problem with her thinking....

"I’m intrigued by Handler’s command that we all need to hop on board this brown & gay thing. How do we do that? I guess people could just become gay, but I was under the impression that homosexuality was inborn and not a choice. While it would be hilarious for Chelsea Handler to try and explain this tweet, it would be infinitely funnier if she actually attempted to do what she’s telling us to do. Who wouldn’t want to see her drunk ass transform into sassy gay Jamaican or a super-butch Puerto Rican dyke? There wouldn’t be anything offensive about that because she’s a woke-ass liberal white elitist that we all know can do no wrong."

This could also all come from a drunkin' stupor, letting loose her secret fantasies of being a Kardashian mud-shark, spittin out little pick-a-ninnies everywhere.......or maybe I’m trying to read to much into this.  After all, with Handler’s substance abuse, crippling emotional distress because of DJT, and liberal lunacy, this could just be her attempt to order a pizza that got away from her.
