Geraldo Rivera on The Five claims Democratic senators reject possible Clinton comeback



Fox News; The Five Video

And Yahoo, carrying the Fox story

As yet no other internet search has born this out. TD



If true, this should be carried elsewhere shortly.

The "rabid hyenas" are after anyone in the Trump Administration

Who Will Fall First: Trump or the ‘Praetorian Guard’?  . . . "As Barr gets closer to the key people involved in concocting the phony Trump-Russia collusion hoax—which included the use of powerful surveillance tools and government informants—House Democrats are escalating efforts in their attempt to impeach Trump before Barr’s department starts issuing indictments. If Trump goes down before Barr and U.S. Attorney John Durham, his point man on the investigation, can complete their work, that investigation could be completely discredited if not halted altogether as the by-product of an illegitimate presidency.
"The clock is ticking, fast. Two dependable sources of Trump-Russia collusion propaganda—the New York Times and NBC News—nervously reported this week that Barr’s inquiry has expanded, although neither outlet has the foggiest idea why. " . . .

Trump May Be After Obama, Biden, Clinton, Brennan — ‘Ultimate Distraction to Steal an Election’
“I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” [Barr] told the Senate Appropriations Committee, before adding, “I am not suggesting that those rules were violated, but I think it’s important to look at them.”
Rep. Gaetz: ‘We’re Fighting Against an Angry Pack of Rabid Hyenas’ to Expose Schiff’s Kangaroo Court

Bette Midler tweets praise for neighbor who attacked Rand Paul, senator’s wife responds. Language.

BPR  "Actress and recording artist Bette Midler has made it a habit of late to take to social media and spew hatred toward President Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
"In her derangement, Midler took things to a whole new level of repulsiveness when she tweeted appreciation to the neighbor of Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who “beat the sh*t” out of him.
"The cowardly entertainer would later delete the tweet.
“ 'I DO NOT promote violence but… Rand Paul says the Kurds are being ‘ingrates’ for taking their frustrations out on US troops. Which is a good reminder for us all to be more grateful for the neighbor who beat the sh*t out of Rand Paul,” Midler tweeted."


. . . "Sen. Paul’s wife, Kelley Paul, felt compelled to respond to the despicable tweet from Midler.
“ 'No matter how much I disliked someone’s politics, I would never celebrate their serious injury. A low bar, but [Bette Midler] is below it,” she tweeted."
. . . The president responded to Midler’s unhinged behavior by calling her a “washed-up psycho.” This coming after she falsely attributed a quote to him saying Republicans are “the dumbest group of voters in the country.” . . .

Tulsi Gabbard not running for re-election to House of Representatives

Tulsi Takes Republicans' Side After Being Sidelined in Impeachment Inquiry  . . . "As entertaining as her thoughts on Hillary were, Hannity also wanted to know what Gabbard thought of the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry in Congress. Republicans have complained of late that Adam Schiff has been blocking them from closed door testimonies, even members of the Judiciary Committee, which launched the inquiry. Although she supports the inquiry, it sounded like Gabbard took the GOP's side in criticizing how the Democrats are handling it." . . .

This writer speculates on Gabbard-Clinton, but as yet no reasons why Clinton might be bringing this about; only Gabbard's low support percentage. TD

Thomas Lifson "Bad things tend to happen to people who find themselves on Hillary Clinton’s enemies list.  Just days after being attacked by Hillary Clinton for being a favorite of the Russians and for allegedly being “groomed” (by Republicans, her spokesman later claimed she meant) to run as a third-party candidate, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard announced late last night that she will not seek re-election to the House of Representatives, where she has served since winning election there in 2012.
"It is an odd coincidence that becoming an official enemy of Hillary Clinton preceded this surprise announcement that offered no new reason for the decision announced on Twitter beyond her desire to serve as president."
Her announcement:

. . . "With Hillary Clinton’s reputation for hardball tactics against her enemies, I have to wonder if any pressure was applied to Gabbard?
"Here is the interview with Hannity in which she gave her boilerplate rhetoric but refused to condemn Hunter Biden."

Hillary Clinton Adviser Says She Has Not Ruled Out 2020 Run
“If she thought she had the best odds of beating Donald Trump I think she would think about it long and hard,” Reines told Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Sweet revenge: President Trump's suicide would be best for her, but this will do, I suppose.

Alleged Sexual Misconduct by CNN Exec and Possible Cover-Up by Senior Management

Caught on the street, Jack Tapper's interview by O'Keefe went almost nowhere.


O'Keefe isn't above a bit of ambush journalism: James O'Keefe CONFRONTS Jake Tapper over #MeTooCNN video. O'Keefe wrote:

AOC Probes Zuckerberg "In Smug and Embarrassing Fashion"

Karen Ashley at COTR  "Just when there may be a solid chance for AOC to say something even minimally intelligent about the Facebook nonsense (something we all agree has become increasingly ridiculous) she turns it to grounds for discussing Zuckerberg having alt-right dinner parties to spread white supremacy…

“Ocasio-Cortez claimed that The Daily Caller “has ties to white supremacists,” a claim that drew quick response from the leadership at The Daily Caller.”“Those accusations are rich coming from the leader of the most openly anti-Semitic freshman Congress in modern American history,” Daily Caller Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Ingersoll told The Daily Wire. “Ocasio-Cortez herself employed a staffer who lionized Nazis collaborators. Maybe she should spend more time cleaning her room and making her bed before she goes to work.”
"Do I believe that Zuckerberg should have a better handle on ensuring people are not censored on his platform unless the language incites violence? Absolutely.\
"Should Zuckerberg have a better standard for content verification and fact-checking without minimizing rights to free speech? Sure.
"However, reading the comments on Twitter, people literally believe that AOC completely owned Zuckerberg. I’m baffled."
"In your ongoing dinner parties with far right figures" is an absolute hammer line to drop in casually like that. What a total boss she is.

 “The most cringeworthy portion of the hearing belonged to Ocasio-Cortez, whose arrogance and desire for censoring her opponents was on full display.
Ocasio-Cortez suggested that she wanted to take advantage of the fact that Facebook tries to not censor political speech from politicians by intentionally lying in her campaign ads, specifically wanting to falsely claim that Republicans supported her $93 trillion Green New Deal.” . . .
