The U.S. U-20s have been knocked out by Morocco in the World Cup quarterfinal, 3-1. Morocco took its chances well. In the final 10 minutes, U.S. had a chance to tie at 2-all but missed. Then Adam Beaudry and a defender miscommunicated on a clearance, leading to Morocco's third.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

This is the story:

President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested that networks should lose their broadcast licenses if their on-air talent is critical of him.
“They’re giving me all this bad press, and they’re getting a license,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One when asked if Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr should go after other talk show hosts after Jimmy Kimmel was suspended from the air. “I would think maybe their license should be taken away.”

Trump crushing free speech is a genuine emergency and so is invading blue cities, but good for O'Donnell for tying the two together. These abuses can still be distraction tactics. That's how wagging the dog works. The tail is trivial compared to the dog, but it's driving.

God damn, O'Donnell just won't quit, and I am totally here for it.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.
