That 70s show (the other ones)

When TV & standup & actual plays intersected...

Truthiness Jumps the Shark

Starting with a post-op on Bennett's poor response to a NYT op-ed calling for a full military response to George Floyd/police brutality protesters (with the editor *not reading the op-ed before publishing*).

But also noting that up to *12%* of the nation participated in these *mostly peaceful* protests, so say 30 million. Imagine if the 3000 Jan6 protesters were 30 million, what destruction would have happened.

[Trump/Russia/GOPgate] sock puppet org busted

Previous 5-month long thread here:

http://dagblog.com/reader-blogs/barr-trumps-soiled-reputations-35202

New charges may signal a more expansive effort to weed out Russian sockpuppet orgs for influencing elections & public opinion, right and left. ["failure to register as a foreign agent"]
