Well if they deport the 50,000 undocumented Irish to Mexico it's not going to turn out well.

Anyone curious about a now rather hushed discussion, wiki finally has a good page about where Trump nominees stand.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_of_Donald_Trump

He actually seems to be doing ok at getting his nominees approved.

The leak wars are on and I don't think this is going to stop.

Conservative provocateur James O’Keefe III said on Tuesday that he will soon release “hundreds of hours” of unaired footage secreted out of a major news organization.

The footage could come as early as Thursday, he told Fox News host Sean Hannity during a radio interview. The footage was provided to him, O’Keefe said, by people inside the network.

...

O’Keefe said he’d be releasing the footage “WikiLeaks-style.”

...

O’Keefe wouldn’t divulge which particular network would be hit, but said it was one President Donald Trump has spent much time talking about recently. “It’s the one he’s always targeting,” O’Keefe said.

That would seem to suggest CNN. Trump has been on a tear against the network since it revealed the existence of an allegedly embarrassing dossier that intelligence agencies were investigating.

...

O’Keefe’s organization received $10,000 from the Trump Foundation in the spring of 2015, shortly before Trump announced his presidential candidacy. Trump also called O’Keefe after the election to thank him for his work, O’Keefe revealed at a recent private dinner that was secretly recorded.

I don't think O'Keefe has much relevancy outside the Trumpian base? I have 0 trust in any revelation coming from his side, and he has so much baggage that he can be instantly dismissed by a 'but that guy lied about yadayada, why should I believe him now'. Probably further adds to the information divide though. But I mean, he's basically a right-wing, significantly less credible Michael Moore with worse production values.

Look at the reaction of the source he leaks about. Leaks of true information have a habit of making themselves known, because sooner or later someone will confess,

It's an optics thing. Do something beyond the pale, then everyone is relieved when you change it from beyond the pale to just "mildly offensive"

Yeah I tend to think that leaks of true information are pretty powerful. But it does need to be true.

With O'Keefe, always best to assume fake until unbelievably certain.

I'm not entirely sure O'Keefe understands how news footage is obtained, and why it is cut.

Last time O'Keefe (well, Project Veritas) decided to do something like this (trying to bribe leftists into protesting the inauguration violently) he got brutally counter-stung. I wouldn't expect much from this, especially since CNN can probably release undoctored footage themselves which has uniformly shown O'Keefe to be a twat as far as history goes I think.

O'Keefe is a low grade propagandists. Anyone who takes his swill seriously has not been paying attention.

It's sad that O'Keefe can get an audience on Fox... like Fox legitimizes him by doing that...

I can already hear the media screaming Tuesday that this is all unsubstantiated, but this just worsens the discourse...

The DNC is such a shit show, I'm starting to think they want to lose more.

Not sure which is worse, CNN or the DNC.

Sorry I mentioned the debate earlier and everyone jumped on the O'Keefe crap.

Just wait for corporate media to sum it up for you, their "highlights" should cover much of it.

One that sticks out to me is that they didn't even mention medicare for all, which when compared to the support of repealing Obamacare (which consolidated Republicans) should obviously be the path to winning back the house and presidency.

I'm just impressed at how oblivious they could still be. Another lowlight was them explaining away meeting with big $ donors instead of attending the women's march. They could just admit that the Democratic party can't function (as it's currently constructed) without trading their ideals for campaign cash and we could decide if that's an acceptable state of affairs or not. Instead they just try to tell us that it's a forgone conclusion that they have to party with wealthy people and pander to them if we want to have a Democratic party. Neglecting that it's that specific understanding within the DNC establishment that is so off-putting to the people they only see/care about around election time (the millions of Americans they are trying to get to vote for them).
