Trump Just Helped Prove How Fake His Twitter Following Is
This is what happens when your biggest fans are bots.
Like pretty much everything else about his presidency, Donald Trump’s Twitter following is a lie. His social media fan base is mostly made of fake accounts; his legion of followers overwhelmingly comprised of automated bots.
This weekend, Trump inadvertently reminded us how phony his social media popularity is when he shined a light on what he erroneously believed was an adoring supporter. That Trump booster turned out be a Twitter bot—just one of the millions of fake accounts that exist solely to bolster the popularity of the most unpopular president in American history.
On the heels of the president basically catfishing himself, Twitter has since suspended the fake account and a slew of others just like it.

Airbnb Has Blocked The Accounts Of Attendees Of A Far-Right Rally
By Shannon Ho
Airbnb has deleted accounts and
canceled bookings of users who appear to be connected to "Unite the
Right," a far-right political rally set for Saturday in Charlottesville,
Virginia.
Neo-Nazi and white
supremacist website The Daily Stormer had organized a series of large
rally-weekend gatherings through the home-sharing site, Airbnb told NBC News.
Concerned Airbnb users flagged the thread, leading the company to
investigate potential violations of its user contract, which calls for
unbiased hospitality.
Airbnb said
they decided to remove the far-right lodgers because they were "pursuing
behavior on the platform that would be antithetical to the Airbnb
Community Commitment."
Jason
Kessler, organizer of the "Unite the Right" rally and self-described
"pro-white" activist, said Airbnb's blocking of certain users is
"outrageous and should be grounds for a lawsuit."
Clay
Hansen, the executive director of the nonpartisan Thomas Jefferson
Center for the Protection of Free Expression in Charlottesville,
said Airbnb's choice to terminate accounts does not violate the First
Amendment.
"I would say that
while Airbnb's actions wouldn't necessarily comport with general free
speech principles, they are a private company and are entitled to enact
and enforce their terms of service as they see fit," Hansen told NBC
News.
The rally, scheduled to take
place Saturday in Charlottesville, is shaping up to be the "the largest
hate-gathering of its kind in decades," according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
As
of Tuesday, Aug. 8, almost 700 people said they would be attending, and
another 1,200 showed interest in the event on its Facebook link. The
rally aims to "to affirm the right of Southerners and white people to
organize for their interests."
"It's
the racial targeting of white people for their ethnic advocacy,"
Kessler wrote in an email to NBC. "Would Airbnb cancel the service of
black nationalists or Black Lives Matter activists for their social
media activity? Of course not!"
White
supremacists gathered in Charlottesville in May to protest the removal
of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's statue. They chanted "All White
Lives Matter" while carrying torches. Klu Klux Klan members also
protested there in July for the same cause.

Anthony Scaramucci Out As White House Communications Director After 10 Days On The Job
By Lindsay Kimble
Just over a week into his new role as White House communications director, New York financier Anthony Scaramucci has been removed from the position, according to the New York Times and other outlets.
Multiple sources told the Times that President Donald Trump chose to remove Scaramucci at the request of the administration’s new chief of staff, Gen. John Kelly.
Scaramucci’s short tenure was certainly a whirlwind: after giving an expletive-laden interview to the New Yorker about his colleagues, Scaramucci’s wife filed for divorce on Friday.
It is unclear at this time whether Scaramucci is being completely removed from the White House, or whether he is taking on a different role in the administration, reports CNN.
This is a developing story, please check back for more information.

'Skinny Repeal' Defeated, Thanks To Democrats And Senators McCain, Murkowski And Collins
By Karoli Kuns
Tonight, Senator John McCain just paid red don back for his 'I like people who weren't captured' shit.
He was the third vote, with Senators Collins and Murkowski to kill the skinny bill.
I don't know what happens next.
---
All eight pages of the Trojan Horse "Health Care Freedom Act" have been published.
I could tell you what's in them, but the thing is, Senators don't want this to become law. They don't want the House to rubber-stamp this. This is just a placeholder to send over to the House so they can convene a conference committee, which will surely fail.
And when it fails, this will pass. So I guess that means you should know what's in it.
I'm afraid (as are many of the health care experts I follow) that this will pass. I will update this post with more as it's available.

Trump Voters Were Wrong, So Fuck Their Opinions
Posted by Rude One
In just six short months, it's become absolutely clear: Everyone who didn't vote for Donald Trump was right and everyone who voted for him was wrong. Yeah, yeah, they weren't wrong in that Trump won the election, just as someone isn't wrong for supporting a shitty baseball team. But it's incredibly clear now that the poor suckers and greedy fuckers who wanted to nuzzle up to Trump's man-teats for a suckle were wrong on just about every account regarding who he is and what he'd do.
They were wrong that he's a man of his word, they were wrong that he would look out for working people, they were wrong that he would make the nation respected "again" (as if it wasn't before), they were wrong that he wouldn't have scandals, and they were just wrong about him being a human being worthy of the office. They were wrong and we who voted against him (and I'm tossing anyone who voted for Hillary Clinton, Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, and Deez Nutz into the category of "voted against him") were right.
Trump voters fucked the goat, and so everything they say should be framed within the fact that they are goatfuckers. "Oh, you have an opinion on health care? Sorry, you fucked a goat. I don't give a shit about your goat-fucking opinion," we should think. But that's not what we do. We don't shun the goatfuckers, no matter how savagely they fucked that goat. We see that most clearly by the fact that the news networks and other media outlets still entertain the opinions of people who supported the Iraq war and never said they were wrong about it. Goatfuckers get away with it.
So we're treated on an almost daily basis to articles and stories about Trump voters and what they think about some issue and whether or not Trump's evil, batshit incompetence is enough for them to bail on the Orange King. Every single one of these stories is the same: Here are some assholes who voted for Trump. Let's treat them with reverence, as if they have hard-won wisdom because they shovel shit or work at Wal-Mart. Let's tell them about all the fuckery that Donald Trump has been up to and see what they think. Oh, look, they don't give a shit because he still hates the Mooslems and Messicans. And what might change their minds about Trumpochet? "I don’t know what he would have to do...I guess maybe kill someone. Just in cold blood."
That's an actual quote from an actual person in a Tennesseean article on Wayne County, Tennessee, an almost entirely white rural area with less people than my neighborhood. The thrust of the piece is that Trump voters couldn't give a happy monkey fuck about the Russia scandal. In fact, they think Trump is being maligned and Don Jr. is awesome. This is the newest wrinkle in the genre: What do stupid people think about something they don't understand at all? In the last week, Vox has done a story on Michigan Trump voters, who don't think the Russian connections are any big deal. The BBC sent a reporter to the Nebraska State Fair to get some American color (yes, ironic, I know) and some video of deluded shit heels sharing their delusions.
As Newsweek's Alexander Nazaryn wrote, "The real story here is how thoroughly Trump supporters have been deceived, both by Trump and tireless boot-lickers like Hannity and Jones. Every quote from an Ohioan who declares the Russia investigation is irrelevant is a testament to the delusive brand of Republicanism that now reigns supreme." Joshua Green said much the same in the New York Times.
Each of the Trump voter pieces generally has a token interview with someone who doesn't support Trump. But they are presented as curiosities, the two-headed cow that shouldn't exist but somehow does. But the reality is, obviously, people who think Trump is full of shit vastly outnumber the aforementioned suckers and fuckers who stand by their man. How about interviewing some of us? How about asking us, "How did you know?" And we can say, "Anyone with a fuckin' brain knew." Ask us, "What do you think about the Russia dealie?" And we can say, "Either we do something about it or we're fucked."
Hell, you don't even have to stick to the cities, where the majority of the country lives. Since you've got a rural jones, you can head to Bolivar, Tennessee, a town in the ass-crack of nowhere, near to the Alabama border, as Deep South as you can get. They went for Hillary Clinton, as did nearby Whiteville. Of course, those are majority African American towns, so you'd have to change the whole goddamned narrative away from the mighty white working class.
Or, here's an idea, why not go to the communities that went for Trump and find the people who didn't. Talk to them. See if they're feeling smug or sad or angry. See what their ideas are for getting us out of this or through this goddamn bullshit time. Find out how they're feeling about Trump's relationship with Russia. Ask them because they, like the majority of the country, were right.
Let's spend a little time and energy, dear, sweet reporters, on people who aren't barking mad or madly barking.
(Note: If you didn't vote at all, go suck a donkey's dick.)
(Note: If you wanna write to me about "goatfucker shaming," I hate you already. Same for "donkey-dick sucker shaming." Some things are just fucking shameful. Sucking a donkey's dick, fucking a goat, and voting for Donald Trump, for examples.)

Trump's 'Made In America Week' Backfires BIGLY
Twitter had a field day with this one. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young
Turks, breaks it down.
"President Donald Trump is set to declare this week “Made In America” week to help promote products manufactured in the United States, according to The Hill.
But he’s already coming under fire for the move, given that Trump-branded products are often manufactured overseas.
Many of Trump’s clothing items have been made in Mexico and China. During the campaign last year, his use of steel and aluminum from China became a campaign issue.
And just last week, The Washington Post reported on the fashion line of first daughter and White House aide Ivanka Trump, finding that much of it is made by low-wage workers in countries such as Bangladesh, Indonesia and China.
White House spokeswoman Helen Aguirre Ferre was asked on Sunday if the president would use “Made in America” week to push his daughter to make those products in the United States.”*

The Republican Party Is Hilariously Incompetent
With the recent collapse of their healthcare bill in the Senate, the
Republican Party has shown us that they are incapable of leading this
country. Obviously, the death of their healthcare bill is a good thing,
but you have to wonder how these people can control so much of this
country without any clue how to lead. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins
discusses this.

Jimmy Kimmel Completely Dismantles Kellyanne Conway On Late Night Show
Jimmy Kimmel took White House counselor Kellyanne Conway to task on his
Monday night show for her constant refusal to actually address the
questions that the media asks her.
According to the New York Times Donald Trump Jr., his brother in law Jared Kushner and Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort met with a Russian lawyer to hear what they thought would be information that could hurt Hillary Clinton.
It’s all very fishy, so we invited White House spokesperson Kellyanne Conway live via satellite to clear it all up.

‘She’d defend a steaming pile of shit’ Internet lambasts Kellyanne Conway for trying to rescue Trump Jr.
By Sarah K. Burris
Kellyanne Conway doesn’t seem to be having a good day on the Monday morning talk shows. At least, that’s what the Internet thinks after a grueling conversation between Conway and CNN’s Chris Cuomo.
Conway alleged that the “New Day” co-host was attempting to go viral, but it was Conway that lit up the Internet with commentary.
The interviews caught her in a series of awkward pivots and obvious hypocrisy, namely that she mentioned a report about former FBI director James Comey that cited anonymous sources. Trump and his White House has notoriously criticized the media for using anonymous sources.
Twitter users weren’t having any of it. They attacked Conway for both interviews and heralded Cuomo’s dogged attempts to get Conway to understand Donald Trump Jr. accepting a meeting with a Russian lawyer is an admission of guilt.

Got fed up. Wrote to NBC's Phil Griffin and Andy Lack about MSNBC grotesqueries
By calimary
Let me know what you think. Address included at the top here, in case you want to use it for your own letter.
Phil Griffin
NBCUniversal
30 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, NY 10112
Dear Mr. Griffin –
Longtime loyal MSNBC viewer here. Demographically: female, white, 64, college grad, wife/mother, news/politics junkie, retired news anchor/reporter, lifelong liberal Democrat, and I vote! Honored to be a member of your loyal viewership that’s lifted MSNBC to #1 in cable news in prime time, thanks to two true gems - Maddow and O’Donnell!
First: THANK YOU for relieving us of Greta Van Susteren. I wrote you months ago to point out that such a signature Fox News name DOES NOT BELONG on a network like MSNBC. Her ratings failure proved my point. PLEASE understand your audience better. We’re home at MSNBC precisely BECAUSE it does not feature programming or on-air talent like what you’d find at Fox News. If we wanted that presentation, we’d already be watching over there.
2) WHY did you force Megyn Kelly on NBC? The ratings already prove that’s another fail. She reads ice-cold on camera. She does not, and will not, appeal at any network whose audience isn’t predominately male, old, white, conservative, and horny. Move her over to MSNBC at your peril. There are far better and smarter ways to spend $17+ million/year.
3) WHY is the #1 BEST interviewer in cable news being squandered on weekend mornings? Joy Reid deserves and has earned massively better exposure, like a Monday-through-Friday show.
4) WHY do Ali Velshi and Stephanie Ruhle deserve so much Monday-through-Friday exposure? There are THREE shows between those two people alone. You really don’t have any other available talent? Are you planning to change the name of MSNBC into the Velshi/Ruhle network?
5) WHY is MSNBC being turned into a whites-only club? You gave up a Tamron Hall for the Alpha blonde from Fox News??? While the excellent Craig Melvin is reduced to a mere fill-in, and the brilliant Joy Reid languishes on the weekends?
6) WHY would you even consider the smug, arrogant, and obnoxious Hugh Hewitt for ANY exposure on MSNBC??? WHY does ANY conservative merit a show on MSNBC in the first place??? Do you just have a thing for a bad fit? Do you buy your suits that way?
I represent your largest and most loyal constituency. WHY do you make programming choices like you have? Unless you’re a mole for CNN (or worse, Fox)?
PLEASE consider the constituency you have, which is THE reason why MSNBC now reigns in cable news. If you continue to alienate us with your bad hires and programming decisions, you can count on legions of us finding new homes for our loyalty.
I was right about Greta. I’m right about this, too.

Dear Mr. Griffin –
Longtime loyal MSNBC viewer here. Demographically: female, white, 64, college grad, wife/mother, news/politics junkie, retired news anchor/reporter, lifelong liberal Democrat, and I vote! Honored to be a member of your loyal viewership that’s lifted MSNBC to #1 in cable news in prime time, thanks to two true gems - Maddow and O’Donnell!
First: THANK YOU for relieving us of Greta Van Susteren. I wrote you months ago to point out that such a signature Fox News name DOES NOT BELONG on a network like MSNBC. Her ratings failure proved my point. PLEASE understand your audience better. We’re home at MSNBC precisely BECAUSE it does not feature programming or on-air talent like what you’d find at Fox News. If we wanted that presentation, we’d already be watching over there.
2) WHY did you force Megyn Kelly on NBC? The ratings already prove that’s another fail. She reads ice-cold on camera. She does not, and will not, appeal at any network whose audience isn’t predominately male, old, white, conservative, and horny. Move her over to MSNBC at your peril. There are far better and smarter ways to spend $17+ million/year.
