If the fact that this and the previous “revolution” in Hong Kong have been backed by the National Endowment for Democracy and “Freedom House”, and the fact that current “pro-democracy” leaders have been peeped meeting with US Consulate officials, and the fact that the mob in Hong Kong have been spotted waving US flags and singing “Star-Spangled Banner” – not to mention that most of the signs are in English – perhaps the fact that the Hong Kong “revolutionaries” are getting big fat shout-outs from Nikki Haley should convince you that the “revolution” in Hong Kong is a massive, bogus US-backed astroturf show.
The eyes of the world see that the people of Hong Kong are not terrorists. They are freedom fighters. To the people of Hong Kong, we are praying for your safety and believe that democracy is worth fighting for. We hear you and we stand with you! ????????#FreedomForHongKong https://t.co/Q8JUIPnLQy

This past Tuesday, a mob affiliated with the “revolution” in Hong Kong took over the international airport and brought the chaos, confronting police and causing spectacular disruptions in air travel. The real kicker was when the “revolutionaries” spent the next day greeting travelers at the airport wearing symbolic eye bandages in solidarity with an injured comrade, holding signs apologizing for the previous day’s havoc. That’s right, apologizing. Idiots, why the hell were they there, then? Isn’t that the whole point of protest? Hell, that sure was the point of getting upwards of 100,000 people into the streets of Seattle and Washington DC to bring the city to a standstill and disrupt the meetings of the WTO, IMF and World Bank. Disuption was our jam that day, f’crissake; we sure as hell weren’t apologizing for anything.
Christ, man, c’mon.

When You Can’t “Buy In”
It isn’t just that Kamala Harris has the gall to straight-up rip off the name “Medicare For All” for her hack-ass healthcare proposal, nor is it just the convoluted, typically technocratic Rube Goldberg nature of her grand plan, nor the fact that it builds on the “success” of Obamacare – a healthcare policy written by the Heritage Foundation. It’s the fact that Kamalacare involves the health insurance industry – the heart of the very problem we’re trying to eliminate.
Tears In Rain (Time To Die)
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Fabrications on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched debunked “scoops” glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those duds will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time to die.
Only thing Mueller “brought to life” today was what a dud Russiagate was & what a joke Democratic Party has become. Dems sound like unhinged lunatics calling clickbait/ stolen emails an “invasion” & spouting a series of debunked (some even by Mueller himself) conspiracy theories.

Important Fish to Fry
First of all, huge thanks to Kate Nocera at Buzzfeed News for tweeting that inspiring quote from the Speaker.
Pelosi to House Dems this morning: “You make me the target, but don’t make our blue dogs and our new dems the target in all of this because we have important fish to fry.”

So, now, folks… considering her enabling of fascism, her support for an obscene war budget, her desperate opposition to Medicare For All, and her bitter refusal to hold a criminal Executive to account – a tendency going back to Bush v2.0 – I have to ask myself: who are the “important fish” that Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are needing to fry?
Oh, yeah, that’s right…
