Thank you for this.

That was a good vid.

I'm glad it was of interest to you.

WTF is going on at CNN?

The changes at CNN look politically motivated. That should concern us all | Robert Reich

Brian Stelter’s very popular and commerically successful show was axed. The reason? Follow the money

www.theguardian.com

and this:

Correspondent abruptly leaves CNN after calling Trump a ‘demagogue’

John Harwood is out as the company’s new head signals shift away from liberal-leaning political coverage

www.theguardian.com

CNN seems to be following a trend where commercial management and objective journalism are out of the window and it will just become a platform for a rich politically motivated owner(s) to generate or promote biased talking points.

The viewing numbers will tank but its all about the influence - directly or via twitter etc.

How can you tell it's a national holiday in the US?

All the news channels are anchored by minorities at times they wouldn't usually be allowed to host at.

Does a judge have that much power that she can tell the DOJ what to do?

Let's see.

He won’t be.

I found this thread below equal parts confusing and informative, I am sure in part because I’m not a lawyer. Worth a read. The bottom line is that this isn’t over by a long shot, but the number of potential directions it goes has changed. It’s a win for Trump because it means delay, and delay is his best weapon (as it has been in nearly all the legal matters in which he’s been involved, and as it was for Richard Nixon).

What a stupid system. A judge can overrule the Federal system, who’d have thought it.

Even worse, the judge is appointed to do exactly what the accused wants them to do.
