https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nunes-files-150m-lawsuit-against-mcclatchy-alleging-conspiracy-to-derail-clinton-russia-probes

fortunately for the fresno bee, 'actual malice' is an impossibly high threshold and his lawsuit is going nowhere
however, it is one hell of a window into how demented the media can be

Nunes held a limited liability investment in a winery with no control over its operations, being one of 50 investors. The winery held a charity auction for use of its private yacht, which nunes had no involvement in. A group of businessmen that had no relation to nunes or the winery won the auction. The businessmen held a party on the yacht that nunes had no involvement in, with cocaine and prostitutes- leading to a lawsuit by a female staffer of the winery who was there to serve the yacht.
Then the Fresno Bee wrote this incredible article, trying its damned hardest to see how many times it could link Devin Nunes and underage hookers with the most tenuous of tortured connections;
https://www.fresnobee.com/news/business/article210912434.html
which mostly relied on playing connect-the-dots, but also just got some material facts wrong like saying the businessmen were investors, and even though apparently every source they contacted said Nunes had nothing to do with it, they wrote "his role was unclear"


Nunes's frivolous suit is probably indicative of just how little he'll accomplish with his '8 criminal referrals' yet to come, but this one at least demonstrates how absolutely unethical the media is

Fair and unbiased faggots

"Let's make something clear: The Nazis did deny guns specifically to Jews"

"The Nazis used the records to confiscate guns from their enemies"

"Regulations were introduced, though, to impose limits on Jews. On Nov. 11, 1938, the Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons was issued. Under it, Jews living under the Third Reich were forbidden to own or possess any form of weapons, including truncheons, knives, firearms and ammunition."

remember, facts are no obstacle to political arguments when you're a "fact checker"
Disagree with an assertion based on evidence? just claim their evidence doesn't prove it, and then call it false without any counterevidence.
They actually argue that the warsaw uprising was pointless and that an armed jewish populace would be irrelevant. Because apparently the only bar is whether jews could have overthrown the nazis on their own unassisted, because anything short of that lofty goal was totally pointless. Nevermind that the more guns in the hands of jews, the higher the chances of hitler being assassinated, which might have averted the holocaust. But lets ignore that and say that it doesn't matter if jews were forbidden from owning guns and nazis used registrations to find them. All that politifact cares about is whether the nazi population was subject to more or less gun control (?) and whether the jews could form an army and conquer berlin

Trump on immigration...







On her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Poor thing, " she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"

"Take me in tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman, " sighed the snake

She wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silk
And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taken to had been revived

"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman, " sighed the snake

She clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful, " she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight
Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite

"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman, " sighed the snake

"I saved you, " cried the woman
"And you've bitten me, but why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
"Oh shut up, silly woman, " said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in

"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman, " sighed the snake

seems like everyone who works at the “fresno bee” is a puppy and kitten kicking hitler-loving minority-hating racist. several senior sources familiar with the thinking of the employees at the “fresno bee” spoke on the condition of anonymity discussing said thinking.

Ex-Dem staffer pleads guilty to 'doxxing' McConnell, others in GOP during Kavanaugh hearings

Quote
A former House Democratic staffer pleaded guilty Friday to five federal offenses related to posting online the personal information of five Republican senators, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, during hearings for then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The charges against Jackson A. Cosko, 27, include making public restricted personal information, computer fraud, witness tampering and obstruction of justice.

In addition to McConnell's information, Cosko posted the home addresses and phone numbers of GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky -- as well as then-Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah.

Cosko reportedly became angry about the senators' support for Kavanaugh despite sexual assault allegations that President Trump's nominee was facing during the hearings. Cosko intended to intimidate the senators and their families, according to court records. Kavanaugh's nomination was ultimately confirmed.



This guy is a real piece of work.

Quote
At the time of his arrest, Cosko was working as an unpaid intern for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, who fired him soon after. He was previously employed as a computer systems administrator in the office of Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., a job that gave him "intimate knowledge of, and broad access to" the computer systems in Hasan's office, according to court records. But he had been fired from Hassan’s office in May 2018 for failing to follow office procedures.

After the firing from Hassan's office, Cosko became angry and repeatedly burglarized the office without being detected, court records said. He copied gigabytes-worth of data, including dozens of user names and passwords belonging to Senate employees and "contact information for numerous sitting U.S. senators," according to court records.
