President Donald Trump tore into Fox News on Tuesday for its town hall with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VTIn a morning tweet, the president weighed in on the hourlong town hall with Sanders, which aired on Monday night — even taking aim at Fox News anchor Bret Baier, one of the event’s moderators.

“So weird to watch Crazy Bernie on @FoxNews,” Trump wrote. “Not surprisingly, @BretBaier and the ‘audience’ was so smiley and nice.”

Trump also took a swipe at the network for hiring Democratic political strategist Donna Brazile as a contributor.

“Very strange, and now we have @donnabrazile?” He wrote.

Fox News assembled a diverse audience for the Sanders town hall. According to Baier, it included “a lot of Democrats,” as well as Republicans, independents, democratic socialists and conservatives. That resulted in a number of Sanders proposals — like Medicare for all — receiving uproarious applause from the audience. Certain questions, like Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum‘s probing of the proposal to allow felons to vote, were booed by the audience.

The town hall remained cordial, but Sanders opened the event with several shots at Fox News, which even prompted Baier to request that the senator stop criticizing the network on its own airwaves.

Sanctioned Russian Oligarch's Company to Invest Millions in New Aluminum Plant in Mitch McConnell's State

 

Rusal, the aluminum company partially owned by Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, announced plans to invest around $200 million to build a new aluminum plant in Kentucky just months after the Trump administration removed it from the U.S. sanctions list.

 

The new aluminum plant, slated to be built in the home state of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, will be the biggest new aluminum plant constructed in the U.S. in decades. Rusal will have a 40 percent stake in the facility.

 

"Rusal, one of the leading global aluminium producers, and Braidy Industries Inc., a U.S. base holding company which owns both Veloxint, an MIT-incubated lightweighting solutions company, and NanoAl, a Northwestern University incubated materials research and technology company, announce an intent to establish a joint project in Ashland, Kentucky, USA to produce flat-rolled aluminium products for the U.S. automotive industry," according to a company press release.

 

The U.S. removed Rusal from its sanctions list in January, after the Treasury Department struck an agreement with the company that saw Deripaska, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, reduce his stake in the company to below 50 percent and lower his voting rights to below 35. The agreement requires the companies to report any contact between Deripaska and company affiliates, including members of the board.

 

 

 

 

I'm old enough to remember when Trump claimed to be tough on Russia.

 

I'm also remembering our boy Mitch failing to act as a check or balance to Trump's violations.  Hmm. Wonder why?

Are you f#&%ing kidding me???

 

How the f#&% is this legal, and who is going to look into Mitch's bank and campaign accounts?

This is the White House winning the war that the battle of Jim Acosta was the start of. They lost in court, but only because they took away his credentials when they  didn't have clear standards and expectations set to be violated.

 

Now they do, so they can legally remove anyone.

Control the narrative and control the thought.  That is what Cultists do.  If a journalist wants a seat at the press conference they have to act, speak in a manner that is pleasing to the Cult Leader - if not they are out and a Fox and Friends type of reporter is inserted.
