Somewhere editors are toying with headlines like "Mueller issues buzzkill to Buzzfeed buzz...  "
All news out of DC now carries the automatic tag of *IT

You mean like every single post you make?

Except yours get *ITUETTIT

*In the unlikely event that this is true.

MEDIA, as horribly misguided and biased as they often are, do not deserve what BuzzFuck - and one writer in particular -  has done to its collective rep.

Your job is to get the story,
not get the President.

If you dove into #buzzfeed headfirst yesterday, you own it, too. “If true” was a faint murmur

“Impeach” was said 200x on CNN & MSNBC

The 3 networks devoted 27 minutes  to it

Maybe just apologize?

Buzzfeed is a clod of debris. Fox is the bomb crater. Clearchannel and Sinclair are the aftershocks.

When you parade propaganda for truth, you also open the barn door.

You’ll soon look back and wish for days when calls to impeach Individual 1 were only in the hundreds.

#Trumpshutdown is giving congressional investigators lots of time to get their ducks in a row in preparation for the countless witnesses for the one long long hearing that will be the rest of trump’s term.

The Hostage-Taker-in-Chief has a new offer to make:

https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/19/politics/house-democrats-border-security-funding-trump/index.html

"If you yield to my US Government hostage-taking, I will throw in these Dreamer hostages and these refugee hostages I am threatening!"

The feds are paying litigators in land grab cases in Texas - not 2018-19 cases, but 2008 cases for an 18 foot fence. Oddly enough, the land owner doesn't want this fence on her land!

Under 2 billion for wall, additional personnel and facilities money at another 2 billion, no fucking with asylum laws, for 5 years of DACA and TPP protections, wrapped up by Jan 26.

At least there is an offer on the table, unless some of the Russian agents pretending to be republicans move the goal posts.

And assuming the Hostage-taker-in-Chief doesn't just flat change his mind again, as he did the last time he agreed to almost this exact deal, last year!

Jan 26...Australia Day.

Australia Day is the official national day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, it marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales, and the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillip. Wikipedia

#####

They first arrived in Botany Bay ...and when they sailed into Botany Bay likely said: "O my god this is a dump, we can't stay here...we can't start a colony here, we'll have to find somewhere else" and sailed north...hitting the jackpot after 5 miles...Sydney Harbour.

The Australian national anthem, one of the great anthems

last stanza for brevity

Tie me kangaroo down, sport,
Tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down, sport,
Tie me kangaroo down.

Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred,
Tan me hide when I'm dead.
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde,

And that's it hanging on the shed.

All together now!
Tie me kangaroo down, sport,
Tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down, sport,
Tie me kangaroo down.

Which part, bullshit artist?

The part where he changed his mind last year was well documented and very public.

The offer on the table was just made publicly by the Hostage-Taker-in-Chief.
