"Taibbi is good with rhetoric, but fast and loose with the truth" First comment under
the fourth link.. Perfect!
Actually, "They "handed a stinging rebuke" to mcconnell but don't let that stop all those who play
right into corpmedia's hands.
"Democrats on Capitol Hill say the agreement they reached the next day to move forward on the legislation extracted real concessions from Republican leadership."
"The White House named names. And not 24 hours later, President Barack Obama and his aides had a deal to get fast-track back on track."
snip// from the link..
"White House officials said the agreement that will now open debate on the trade package on Thursday only seems like a dramatic turnaround because Tuesdays doom and gloom was overblown. The presidents trade agenda is moving again, on its way through the Senate and off to the much more problematic House. And the president has regained the momentum."

Not sure why this doesn't have lots of Recs.. oh wait..
it's not saying the President is "a liar".
In fact it's the opposite.. oh and the US corp media was all over saying the Dems were "snubbing Pres Obama" yesterday when they were really "snubbing" McConnell.. but they wanted Hair on Fire and so many were willing and ready to play. They got played.
Thanks still one

They can call each other by their first names but boy oh boy.. President Obama damn well better not call her "Elizabeth" or Sherrod will go off the deep end.
Mahalo littlewolf.. lucky peeps who will be around then to take advantage! Mahalo Obama and Hawaii
Kaheawa Wind Power, above the town of Maalaea in the West Maui Mountains, is one of the largest wind farms in Hawaii.The U.S. government is making clean energy a priority. States from across the nation are taking steps toward energy efficiency, alternative energy programs and new policies that will help the country collectively meet the standards set by the Environmental Protection Agencys Clean Power Plan announced last June. And Hawaii is leading the way with a new bill that would require 100 percent of the states energy to come from renewable sources by 2045.

James Taylor says Obama is great; riding Hillary train
NEW YORK (AP) Barack Obama supporter James Taylor doesn't just think the U.S. president is great he believes Obama is the greatest of all-time.
"I've been watching politics since (Dwight) Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, and Obama is my favorite, favorite president," Taylor said in an interview Wednesday. "I am just thankful for every day that he's in office. I am so proud that he represents my country and I think he represents me I think he represents the America that I know."

"He promised to give us a health care system, it's a work in progress, but he has put us on a road to that," Taylor said. "I'm so grateful for what he's done for gay rights and for the emancipation of gay people. Particularly from my point of view, I think that was so overdue and so important, and so important for America to be ahead of the curve on this."
Taylor criticized Congress in Obama's defense.
"I've never seen a Congress that has been so obstructive and so contrary and so committed to doing anything that will foul up this administration. I just think it's an absolute scandal that he has had so little cooperation," he said. "So anyway, you hit a nerve and I'll go on forever. But I'll just say it a third time: Every day that Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are in the White House is a day that I am thankful for."

Obama isn't the only politician Taylor is supporting: The singer said he's on the Hillary Rodham Clinton train, too.
"And aside from the fact that she's a woman running, she's the right person. ... The whole point black or white, male or female, gay or straight, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, atheist it doesn't matter what these other connections are," he said. "Our country needs to come together and the question is, 'Is this public servant someone who will bring us together?' And I think she is."
MOre..

Documents Show How Russias Troll Army Hit AmericaRussias campaign to shape international opinion around its invasion of Ukraine has extended to recruiting and training a new cadre of online trolls that have been deployed to spread the Kremlins message on the comments section of top American websites.
Plans attached to emails leaked by a mysterious Russian hacker collective show IT managers reporting on a new ideological front against the West in the comments sections of Fox News, Huffington Post, The Blaze, Politico, and WorldNetDaily.
The bizarre hive of social media activity appears to be part of a two-pronged Kremlin campaign to claim control over the internet, launching a million-dollar army of trolls to mold American public opinion as it cracks down on internet freedom at home.

FFin' Hypocrites.
Mahalo, Detlef.. "Germany finally seeing Vladimir Putin for who he really is".. I don't know if you
have seen this..

Russias unilateral redrawing of Ukraines borders has refocused minds in Germany. Putins annexation of Crimea, his lies that Russian troops were not involved, and his covert war in eastern Ukraine have eroded trust in the Kremlin. Germanys political elite unlike the isolationist, latently anti-American population at large has no illusions that Putins actions are posing the greatest danger to European security since the Cold War.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who hails from the traditionally Russophile Social Democrats, is the starkest example of this evolution. Steinmeier, together with his French and Polish counterparts, tried to negotiate a settlement between Viktor Yanukovych, then Ukraines president, and anti-government protesters in February 2014. Later, Steinmeier spearheaded Merkels efforts to find a diplomatic solution to the spiraling conflict through the revival of the so-called Minsk agreement. In the process, he suffered the same Kremlin lies that Secretary of State John Kerry complained about last month.
