Buzzfeed report picked up by the rest of the media including CNN without any fact checking

is a terrific example of trial by slander. Fortunately Mueller slammed buzzfeed. Apparently at least he believes in due process. Look it up it’s in the CONSTITUTION

I suspect there is more truth to the story than "inaccuracies."

There are almost always "inaccuracies" in any detailed news story.

I would point out that the Office of the Special Counsel did not say the article was "untrue."

If I told you that the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Utah Jazz last night that would be untrue.

But if I told you that the Utah Jazz defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers last night and added that the score was 115-100, there would merely be inaccuracies in what I told you.

Apples and apricots. Even CNN’s Jeffrey Tobin shockingly condemned the media including CNN for this. @beckyromero

@jackjjackson

Apples and apricots.

Both are fruit and 1/2 of the letters in "apples" exist in "apricots."

Are you implying that the story is half-accurate, i.e. that Cohen was instructed to lie to Congress by Donald Trump, but that the proof isn't in an email? 🤔

Nah just changing up the usual fruit cliche 😉 @beckyromero

No doubt to avoid the word "orange"?

Actually I almost went with guava. @beckyromero

I though Trump banned imports of it since its origins are Central America?

jackjjackson · M

Not sure. Had one last week. Yummy. @beckyromero

Then it must have crossed the border illegally.

Really? @beckyromero

Someone probably tossed it over the wall that Mexico paid to build.

Then it traveled a long way from there to my house @beckyromero

Then perhaps it was smuggled in the suitcase of a person who overstayed their visa?

jackjjackson · M

I just checked. It came in a Harry and David basket 😲 @beckyromero

😂

jackjjackson · M

Wait it actually says Hilario y Davio? @beckyromero

I wonder what Trump will say in a little while?

Unfortunately, I have to go out.

Will catch up later.

DVR it. I thought it was 3 pm EST now it’s 4 pm EST. Originally I was thinking declaration of border emergency but now it seems a public offer to thr Dems making some concessions on other issue but not on border funding. At least Mrs Pelosi is in the country to watch 😀 @beckyromero

@jackjjackson

My housemate caught it. She said I didn't miss anything new.

jackjjackson · M

Then she didn’t watch it. @beckyromero

@jackjjackson

Something about DACA that Republicans in Congress won't pass.

jackjjackson · M

I predict the Senate will pass a bill containing what the president said within the week. @beckyromero

beckyromero · 36-40, F

@jackjjackson

Non-starter.

Temporary DACA? Something Trump once said would be illegal?

He's untrustworthy.

That's why I can understand how Sen. McConnell is saying a deal needs to be reached between the Democrats and Trump before Republicans see about getting on board.

jackjjackson · M

We will see. @beckyromero

beckyromero · 36-40, F

@jackjjackson

By the way, has anyone seen Mitch?

Or does the Air Force need to re-open Project Blue Book?

jackjjackson · M

He says a bill will be introduced on Tuesday tomorrow being a holiday. @beckyromero
