    No, I'm sure you listened to the same hearing.
    You just hear what you want to hear.

    I don't know what "host" you're talking about.
    I don't know who kept correcting this "host".
    I don't know who the NPR snark was.

    Maybe you could clarify?

  2. We are already suffering years of this grudge match the democrats initiated a matter of hours after Trump was sworn in. The media has been rendered untrustworthy for the most part but it's being replaced by personalities on YooToob and FarceBuuk et al (I will not advertise for those fuckers) who spout only as much opinion as they think the service provider will allow.

    All of this spills into other information resources and adds taint. Even financial news is getting suckered into the bullshit. I wonder what kinds of crap has invaded Golf magazines (probably time to see the doctor). Rigged polling is another blow to credibility. We're getting to the point that everything is absurd, but somehow normalized. The epitome of this as I see it is the San Francisco map of human shit app for Android!

    I was stationed there in the 80s, it was an amazing time.

  3. What I heard was during my afternoon commute, so I didn't get a recording of it. I usually only listen to it in the morning. Regardless, all I'm offering is my overall impressions from the exchange I heard. It was kind of comical overall, hearing this host trying to get a republican guest to agree to long strings of twisted rhetoric, which he refused to do. Big shocker there!

    One of their favorite snarky bits they do is the use of "without evidence" with any allegation made by a republican or "conservative". With democrats they never apply this, and it's not because democrats are amazingly shy of bullshit to be spewed forth. And that's just a single example. They have all kinds of other cute little games they play with language and delivery, but then, so do all of the other radio stations, it's a performing art.

    I'm sorry, we weren't listening to the same broadcast.
    I was listening to live the House Intelligence Committee hearing with Marie Yovanovitch on NPR.

    I don't know what you were listening to.

    If rational beings cannot see what type of amoral assholes republicans are at this point---there isn't much hope of ever returning this country into some semblance of (albeit rigged) normality that semi functioned as a democracy heretofore. The most disappointing part of this whole fucking 3 years of horseshit to me, is the fact that millions and millions of humans can STILL see anything--absolutely ANYTHING--decent, honorable or in any way moral or intelligent with this trump dipshit. Virtually everything he's had anything to do with--has turned to shit. I won't go into the litany of such--those who know--know. I say virtually, because I believe he had something to do with helping the veterans hospitals better themselves. I can only hope this nightmare comes to a close soon and we can rejoin the world as a nation to be (somewhat--we are not and have never been squeaky clean) -- proud of.

    can't wait for the FISA report to come out, also can't wait for schifty schiff to be sworn in to testify. all I see is they're all being very quiet now 'cept for grandma flapping her gums about how much the world wants her to run......
     
  8. I got my first "real" job in over 20 years during this time. It's the first time since the late 90s that I've had to commute. It's also weird having a boss instead of a client. Bosses seem to have a weirdly distorted view of their own importance.

    Since I commute now, I have about an hour each way to listen to the news from a couple of different sources of skew and omit. I'm inspired to set up a web station maybe.

    Yes, thank you, military aid, to fight the russians. Anti tank missiles and cybersecurity amongst other things.

    Cybersecurity. A two year, $40 million investigation into inteference in the 2016 election that doesnt charge any Americans with interference in the election, charges 12 russians that may or may not exist for trolling social media. Trump is supposed to be in Putins pocket yada yada

    Fast forward to 2019, they are still giving 10s of millions to Ukraine for cybersecurity......to protect themselves against russian hackers. Which this circus is now highlighting and reinforcing to any swing voters paying attention ????

    You will note how many left news sources arent prefixing aid with 'military' when the $400 million gets mentioned

    As for somehow all those little parts of the $400 million total getting magically released on the 11th after everyone has gone home. That 'fact' is only coming from one source isnt it, a democrat

    Some of it might make sense in the short term, but in the long run dems are just shooting themselves in the foot.

    At the same time you have Obama warning voters not to go too far left with assumedly Warren or Sanders

    Like watching a car crash unfolding

    Obama's right

    Woke culture is not the path they wanna go down. But I'm sure they'll just ignore him, and paint him as a right wing extremist or some shit.

    Lolz, you right there? USAID isnt independant, but it is independant like the EPA

    Its independant from the Pres in the sense he has no say where the money goes.

    And thanks for highlighting the word military there, that was the point I was getting to

    ...witholding MILITARY aid that would have been used against the Russians and Putin backed Ukrainian Rebels as long as the US was assured Zelensky was actually fighting corruption and a whole bunch of that stuff wasnt just going to end up in the hands of wealthy russians in the Ukraine

    I was once a public radio producer , and I hear the NPR tricks . Our senators (R) no longer give our local public radio and tv stations interviews . The
    local newscasters are just as mean-spirited yet not even so clever . NPR is politically committed - but not to the balance and fairness they sell to their
    membership . Oh , I give them nothing . Not even the soulful love letter I've sometimes intended to write .

    Why are you bringing up the Mueller investigation? To show that Trump gets investigated a lot?

    The administration confirmed that aid was released on September 11th.

    Trump administration backs off hold on Ukraine military aid
