If itā€™s not adulation itā€™s fake news.

I heard that the other day, Trump went around the room and made each cabinet member say something nice about him. Anyone know if thatā€™s true?

ā€œDonald Trump seeks to quell dissent and to surround himself only with sycophants who are going to shower him in praise and adoration.ā€

And in, umā€¦other things.

He likes heroic country-protecting veterans who donā€™t argue with him.

Demographically, arenā€™t most military members / vets pro-Trumpers? I know this group call themselves ā€œprogressiveā€, but are they? Donā€™t know enough about them.

OT, but is TPM going to livestream Ku Klux Keeblerā€™s testimony?

Never mind, just found the NBC linkā€¦

Wow. Those bots really worked overtime. It was 5 million not too long ago.

I find them to be an articulate, progressive-leaning vet group. They take stands on important issues - everything from healthcare to protecting the environment to freedom of the press. In fact, I am guessing that Trump blocked them because of two blistering short videos they put out about 48 hours ago. One was of a vet who had lost a leg in war calling the GOP out on how many Americans (including vets) would lose their healthcare under the plan being proposed.

Itā€™s actually downright pathetic to realize thatā€™s only 1/10th of the populationā€¦not even taking into account that half or more are probably bots. FDR fireside chats were estimated to have attracted ~70% and those people had to stop whatever else they were doing and gather round a radio at a specific time to hear FDRā€¦
