Dem Sen Kamala Harris Jokes About Killing Trump, Pence, Sessions
[Breitbart] Thursday on "The Ellen Show," Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) joked about killing President Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, or Attorney General Jeff Sessions if they were in an elevator together.

During a rapid fire question "vetting," host Ellen DeGeneres asked, "If you had to be stuck on an elevator with either President Trump, Mike Pence, or Jeff Sessions, who would it be?"

Harris quipped, "Does one of us have to come out alive?"
Degenerate does the 'set up', Harris the slam-dunk.
DeGeneres put down her cards to clap as Harris laughed.

Will anyone bother to file a complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee? Of course not. That would be.... well, you know.

Zuckerberg: ‘Three-Year Project' to ‘Fix' Elections, Fake News, Misinformation – Just in Time for 2020
[Breitbart] In his call with members of the press yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg said that Facebook was "probably a year into a massive three-year push" to fix alleged issues surrounding "fake news," "misinformation," and election interference on the platform.

Zuckerberg’s timeline implies that Facebook’s goal is to have fundamentally altered their platform by the time of the 2020 presidential elections, and that work on the project started at approximately the same time as the presidential victory of Donald Trump.



That’s also when the panic over "fake news" and "misinformation" started, led by the left-wing and corporate media and embraced by Democratic lawmakers. The resultant changes to Facebook have seen conservative media and the official Facebook account of Donald Trump suffer severe hits to their engagement and traffic.

"In 2016 we were behind where we wanted to be," said Zuckerberg. "We had a more traditional view of the security threat. We expected Russia and other countries to try and do phishing and traditional kinds of security exploits, but not necessarily the kind of misinformation campaign that they did. We were behind ‐ that was a really big miss. And now we want to make sure that we’re not behind again."

HILARIOUS: Guess Who Created Andrew McCabe's GoFundMe Drive
[RedState] Andrew McCabe, former Deputy Director of the FBI who was fired by Attorney General Jeff Sessions little more than a day before he was set to retire and receive his pension, was recently the recipient of the bountiful generosity of good Samaritans who donated to his legal defense fund via a GoFundMe account set up by "friends." (The account ceased taking donations on April 2, transferring that task to a "more formal legal defense fund".)

It’s a tall order making McCabe, a wealthy Washington attorney, appear a destitute victim in need of financial help; but that, indeed, is what these "friends" managed to accomplish, raising over a half million dollars for poor old Andy.

So who were these grand pals that helped McCabe cover the potential costs of lying to Congress?

None other than a K Street PR and consulting firm with ties to the Obama administration called The Bromwich Group.

Melissa Schwartz serves as McCabe’s current spokesperson and is the current chief operating officer of the firm, which was started by Michael R. Bromwich, former director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management under President Barack Obama (and Inspector General for the Department of Justice under President Bill Clinton, for what it’s worth).

Arrest warrant issued for Brazil ex-President Lula da Silva
[AL JAZEERA]Brazil's former president has until Friday 20:00 GMT to turn himself in to start serving a 12-year sentence.

A Brazilian judge has issued an arrest warrant for Luiz Inacio 'Lula' da Silva, giving the once wildly popular ex-president until 5pm local time (20:00 GMT) on Friday to turn himself in.

Federal Judge Sergio Moro issued the warrant on Thursday evening, less than a day after the country's Supreme Court denied a request for habeas corpus from Lula da Silva who appealed a January court ruling that saw him sentenced to 12 years in prison on corruption charges.

Texas councilwoman charged after yelling at girls wearing Trump 'MAGA' shirt
[NYDailyNews] A Texas councilwoman accused of shouting obscenities at a group of teen girls because of a Trump shirt was charged with disorderly conduct Wednesday.

West University Place Councilwoman Kellye Burke approached a group of girls waiting in line to buy cookies at a shop Saturday and started screaming at them, KPRC-TV reported. She reportedly shouted, "’Grab ’em by the p---y girls!’"

One of the girls was wearing a "Make American Great Again" shirt. A father of one of the teens told the station they tried to ignore Burke but she kept yelling at them.

"At that point the girls were getting kind of scared, and then the woman starts going, ’MAGA! MAGA! MAGA!’ while shaking her fist," the father told KPRC.

Burke apologized for her comments.

"We accepted her apology," the father told the station. "I would be just as angry if any parent said this to my child but as an elected official I’ll let her voters handle this matter."

West University Place Mayor Susan Sample said in a statement that she’s glad Burke took "responsibility for her own actions and has reached out to the affected families to apologize for her remarks."

"My position as Mayor, however, does not afford me any official authority with respect to matters such as this," Sample said. "Neither the city council nor the Mayor has any authority to remove fellow councilmembers."

#2  It's too bad she was in a liberal haven. She tried that down near where I live and at the very least she'd of been surrounded and yelled down. Or if she's lucky, a broken jaw.

#7  I have zero patience or mercy for anyone attacking a child, especially mine. (I do not count the ferals as children, who might be attacked when committing crimes) Those children had done nothing to her and if she's too stupid to avoid attacking kids, she should not be in government. I know democrats worship human sacrifice but there's just no excuse.

#10  Pretty reprehensible behavior for an adult woman. But if you feel you own the moral high ground, anything is justified, right? Let's face it, if you were a member of Moms Demand Action and saw Hitler standing in line to buy cookies, wouldn't you go over and yell at him?

And yes, a short, sharp punch to the nose is a perfectly reasonable reply to such incivility.

#11  saw Hitler

Hitler is their hero. He hates jews, just like them. He doesn't like the colored peoples, just like them. Everyone is inferior to him, just like them. And they want to disarm their enemies and ship them to death camps, just like them. She'd probably just rush over and offer him a Lewinski right there she'd be so happy to see their ultimate hero.

#12  This is how the far left treat children? By acting like a child? What sane adult would do that to a kid? She has completely lost her dignity as an adult and will now get further humiliated publicly for being an ass.
