  2. The other Republican Senators, however, disagreed that it was a high crime and misdemeanor, and by voting to acquit, the GOP essentially handed a future Democratic President a free pass to engage/bribe foreign governments into targeting the President’s domestic political rivals.

  3. “Birtherism” was central to Trump’s rise as a politician—he weaponized the topic to win votes. And GOP made the most famous champion of the conspiracy theory that the first black POTUS, Obama, was illegitimate, that he cheated his way to the White House, their standard bearer.

  4. The 2010, 2012, and 2014 elections saw disinformation from US sources like Limbaugh re Obama’s birth certificate (painting him as an illegitimate POTUS)—it fueled the rise of the “Tea Party” and paved the way for Trump. It also softened the public for “Russian disinformation”.

  5. And if voters in 2016 believed that Obama was a Muslim born overseas (and “did 9/11”), thanks to likes of Limbaugh/clones, how many believed this in 2014, when Democrats lost the Senate, or in 2010, when Democrats lost the House? What role did birthersim play in those elections?

  6. The Limbaugh+Trump-led assault on Obama’s legitimacy as POTUS was so effective, that right up to Election Day 2016, many voters believed Obama was not born in US. Trump won by less than 100,000 votes in key states. How many voted against Hillary to avenge a “stolen presidency”?

  7. Rush Limbaugh was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in part because along with Trump he played a key role in using birtherism to delegitimize Obama’s presidency and tarnish his legacy, while rallying voters to overturn his election wins and his coalition in key districts.

  8. Tens of millions of dollars were spent by various conservative factions and influential commentators such as Rush Limbaugh to promote Obama birtherism theories, all in an effort to overturn Obama’s two election wins —Limbaugh now pretends birtherism was an “intellectual pursuit”.

  9. Same Rush Limbaugh, who pushed the “Obama was not born in US” conspiracy theory (known as “birtherism”) that depicted Obama as an illegitimate POTUS (in an effort to get voters to remove Obama from office) has lately been whining about Democrats’ impeachment efforts.

  10. Major ‘college professor displeased with book report from discourteous student vibes’ here. “It was the courteous thing to do, considering the alternatives,” said Pelosi.

  11. Does he (and you) that the healthcare that 9 million US military veterans get is socialized healthcare? Yep, the veterans’ healthcare in US is an island of socialized medicine (similar to U.K. and other countries) in a for-profit sea.

  12. UAE’s roads are smooth, like pool table tops. Meanwhile, US spending on military sucks $$ out of infrastructure repairs and upgrades — many drivers end up paying $1000-$2000 more a year due to bad roads; that’s like a major tax hike on citizens.

  13. Due to the terrible roads in Wisconsin and Ohio, drivers pay $1000 extra/year in vehicle upkeep, to replace shocks, tires, brakes that wear out faster than usual. The United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and Switzerland have the highest ranked roads in the world. UAE ranks first.

  14. Iowa caucus results as of 2 PM ET today. What a way to run a democracy. Remember, this is happening alongside a presidential impeachment trial where the jurors are US senators who have received sweetheart legislative deals + “campaign” funds from POTUS and his donors.

  15. The “Trump economy” (and stock market) is largely made in California, Washington, New York and…China. Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, Netflix and Tesla are all based in immigrant-heavy, “sanctuary cities” Trump rails against, and they’re fueling growth with the help of China.

  16. Classic pump and dump pattern here - analysts hype the stock, buy it on the way up, take their profits, then go short on the stock, start negative press, and take profits again when the stock dives. Has happened over and over again with Tesla stock. Of course, “perfectly legal”.

  17. Reminder as you absorb the Iowa caucus app fiasco news: Estonia has been using online voting for elections since 2007 (for other governance issues since 2005). The government estimates this saves 11,000 working days per election.

  18. Rush Limbaugh (who profited off promoting smoking 🚬 on his show) once blamed the Native peoples in the Americas for giving lung cancer to the White man, even comparing the deaths “due to Indian custom of smoking” to the genocide of Native Americans. “Where are our reparations?”

  19. Rush Limbaugh’s convoluted defense of conservative ideologies frequently took bizarre detours he felt were amusing. Not too long ago, he claimed people should thank smokers (because “their taxes are funding children’s programs”), and therefore he deserves a medal for smoking.

  20. YouTube and Twitter should copy this.

  21. Rush Limbaugh poisoned millions of minds with his vitriol-laced, dehumanizing commentary that inspired a slew of poisonous copy cats, including Michael (Alan Weiner) Savage, Neal Borotz, Mark Levin and Sean Hannity. Hope he heals and comes back a wiser person.
