Bill Barr is covering up for Donald Trump - and posing a dire threat to democracy
 Bill Barr is covering up for Donald Trump. Trump's first national security adviser, General Michael Flynn, had a phone call with the Russian ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, just after President Obama had imposed sanctions on Russia for interfering in the 2016 election on behalf of Trump. Flynn "urged Mr. Kislyak in a phone call not to escalate tensions with a retaliatory move against the United States-perhaps by kicking American diplomats and spies out of Russia." Flynn denied that the call was about sanctions, but it has become pretty clear based on new reports that what took place was "a back-channel discussion with a top Russian official that might lead to the new Trump administration gutting the sanctions its predecessor put in place to punish the Russians." In any other time, a national security adviser who acted this way would be considered a traitor. But not in Bill Barr's America. Read more here. -Thom |
Friday's Daily Stack 
Hour One: The Right Wingers Are Pushing Us Into the Worst Case Scenario in Death and the Economy... How Will Americans Cope? How Will You Cope?
Speech: " A Rendezvous With Destiny", Franklin D. Roosevelt, 27 June 1936 speech to the Democratic National Convention, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. " These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power." Speech: " Madison Square Garden Speech", President Franklin D. Roosevelt, October 31, 1936. " They are unanimous in their hate for me-and I welcome their hatred" Quote: " A number of my friends who belong in these very high upper brackets have suggested to me, more in sorrow than in anger, that if I am reelected they will have to move to some other Nation because of high taxes here. I shall miss them very much ." - Franklin D. Roosevelt, "Address at Worcester, Mass.," October 21, 1936.
