Krugman refused to budge from his declaration that “Republicans are bad people” during an interview with PBS’ Firing Line on Thursday. When interviewer Margaret Hoover pressed the Nobel Prize-winning economist on the risks inherent in “demonizing” political opponents, he only doubled down, taking his ad hominems into the mythical realm.
Is it demonizing if they already actually are demons?
While Krugman stressed he was referring to “professional Republicans,” and not “someone I might meet over lunch who declares herself a Republican [who] can perfectly well be a perfectly nice person,” he stood firm in his attacks on a party he described as “irredeemable, devoid of principle or shame” in a Times opinion column last month.
Nor were demons the only horror-movie monster Krugman saw in the GOP. He likened debating Republicans to “arguing with zombies,” declaring that “zombie ideas about fiscal policy, about climate change, about a whole range of ideas – healthcare policy – have completely taken over official Republican discourse.”
While he admitted the party’s calcified platform “doesn’t mean that every Republican in America is like that,” he maintained that “to be a serving Republican member of Congress right now” supporting the Trump administration “makes you a bad person.”
Krugman has been wearing his hatred for Republicans on his sleeve for years. Regular readers of his column will recall that he has blamed Republicans for everything from climate change to antisemitism, and has insisted that “good people can’t be good Republicans” since at least 2018.

Eventually, however, even an Ivy League intellectual runs out of names to call one’s enemy, which is perhaps why Krugman called for the party to be “dismantled and replaced with something better” in last month’s ‘Republicans have no shame’ oped.
For someone so passionate about Republicans, Krugman had little interest in who would win the Democratic presidential nomination, telling Hoover it made “almost no difference” who ended up running against Trump. At the same time, he praised candidate Elizabeth Warren, his personal friend, as a “progressive.” Warren was a Republican until two decades ago. Hoover neglected to ask the Princeton economist if he makes the sign of the cross before meeting Warren for lunch.

According to a press release from Saladino’s team, this campaign of sexual harassment took place on Independence Day. Robert “Bob” Morgan Jr is a well-established figured in the New York Republican Party machine with strong ties to Saladino’s establishment opponent, Nicole Malliotakis.
As millions of Americans put partisanship and petty politics aside during the 4thof July, Morgan spread nude photos of Saladino on Twitter. Based on an interview with Saladino, these photos were originally from one of Saladino’s previous YouTube endeavors where he was pulling Jackass style stunts. Morgan took it a step further by trying to shame Saladino for his pictures.
In light of these attacks, Saladino commented, “Of course, I’m angry to suffer this kind of sexual harassment from an official of the Manhattan GOP.”

The congressional candidate added, “First of all, it was on Independence Day he decided to do this, and two it’s really creepy that he would be so interested in my body and my [genitalia].”
Morgan made no efforts of trying to hide the images behind adult content filters, which made them freely available for minors to view. Saladino claims “It’s guaranteed that he exposed the images to minors, he made no efforts to censor the images.”
The Saladino campaign believes “that this targeted, politically motivated sexual harassment campaign was directed by members of Nicole Malliotakis’ assembly or campaign staff.” In Saladino’s view, Robert Morgan lacks the guile or initiative to carry out such an attack on his own.
In fact, Saladino revealed to Big League Politics that he had a previous run-in with Morgan’s business partner, Liam McCabe, during a Trump watch party event in June. As Saladino tried to peacefully enter the venue, he was met by McCabe, who threatened to have Saladino removed from the venue for no reason. McCabe yelled repeatedly at Saladino, “You can’t be here!”
Saladino’s campaign staff was as able to de-escalate the situation and enter the venue without problems. But that was not the end of this encounter. On Independence Day, Morgan took to the Internet and started launching coordinated attacks Saladino.

The Saladino campaign condemns this behavior and vows to “pursue all legal means to prevent this from occurring for other candidates regardless of political affiliation.”
BLP reported on Saladino becoming the first American YouTuber to enter the political arena as a congressional candidate.
Saladino has positioned himself as the pro-small business and pro-worker candidate for New York’s 11th district.
On top of that, Saladino has called for a more rational approach to mass migration, an issue that has galvanized nationalist movements worldwide due to its negative social and economic effects.
With what’s at stake in the 2020 elections, New York needs a strong alternative to the political status quo. Not politics as usual.
Saladino’s campaign offers a new approach to New York politics. That’s why Malliotakis and company are engaging in extracurricular smears against Saladino. They know their ideas don’t hold weight against Saladino’s robust America First platform.

On Saturday, Sanders’s presidential campaign hosted a star-studded event in San Francisco, which it billed as “grassroots fundraiser and friendraiser.” Tickets for attendance started at $27 and went up to $2,800, the maximum contribution allowed by the Federal Election Commission.
Although the event drew attention with its high-profile speakers, including actor Danny Glover and activist Cornel West, the man who introduced Sanders, Guy Saperstein, received little notice. In its coverage of the fundraiser, The New York Times described Saperstein as a “retired civil rights lawyer” and wealthy “political contributor,” who was out of place given Sanders’ broadsides against big money in politics.
What the Times failed to mention is that Saperstein, a former president of the Sierra Club, has a long and somewhat controversial history in Democratic politics.
As previously reported by the Washington Free Beacon, Saperstein in 2014 was a member of a private Google group consisting of “progressive organizers, reporters, and campaign apparatchiks.” As a member of that group, Saperstein openly discussed his support for Southern secession.
“For more than 100 years, the South has been dumbing down national politics, tilting the country in a conservative direction, supporting militarism, all while demanding huge financial subsidies from blue states,” Guy Saperstein wrote in emails to other members. “It would be 100% fine with me if the South was a separate nation, pursuing its own priorities and destiny.”
When the emails were leaked to Media Trackers, a now defunct Wisconsin conservative news outlet, Saperstein doubled down on his stance.
“Secession would be a gradual process, giving any blacks who felt threatened time to relocate,” he told Media Trackers at the time.
It is unclear if Sanders knew about Saperstein’s prior remarks. The senator’s campaign did not return requests for comment.
The issue, however, underscores a potential vulnerability for the self-described Democratic socialist from Vermont. During his 2016 presidential campaign, Sanders failed to gain traction in the South. Sanders lost every single state in the region to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the eventual nominee. In some states like South Carolina, where African-American voters make up a large portion of the Democratic electorate, Sanders was defeated by landslide margins.
Saperstein is also a former member of the Democracy Alliance, the secretive group of liberal billionaires—which also includes Tom Steyer and George Soros—that funds Democratic campaigns and causes across the country.

Infowars reporter Greg Reese explains how Trump can stop the tech giants from destroying free speech.
Video footage shows an angry black man pull up in a car and get out to curse at several Trump supporters demonstrating on a curb, going as far as knocking the hat off one and spitting on a woman while shouting “Fuck Donald Trump!”
“Fuck Donald Trump, nigga! Fuck Donald Trump! Fuck you and Donald Trump!” he yelled inches from their faces. “Because you don’t like my skin, nigga! That’s why!”
A pro-Trump woman yelled back through a megaphone, “Donald Trump is your president whether you like that shit or not, if you don’t like the president then you can get the fuck outta my country then!”
The man then approached her, saying “Fuck you and that nigga!” before spitting on her.
Other anti-Trumpers arrived, trying to fight the Trump supporters and steal one of their American flags.
Police soon arrived and arrested the irate man after being presented video evidence of his assaults against supporters.
As we’ve reported, violence against Trump supporters is frequent, consistent, and well-documented despite mainstream media efforts to downplay or ignore these reports.
She might make grandma jokes about “wiping” her server with a cloth, but as RT’s Igor Zhdanov notes, there are few people in the world so adept at deleting information, that is potentially of state importance, off a server that even the FBI had no clue about.
And she would have managed to keep multi-million-dollar-earning Wall Street speeches a secret from the world, if it were not for the dastardly Wikileaks. So, there is a cautionary tale she can tell there.
And for the encore Clinton could explain how she cracked the Kremlin’s plan to meddle in the 2016 election and swing the result to Donald Trump, and then infiltrated the media to present her as a somewhat sore loser.

King posted the video with the caption “Sometimes you have to just step out there and take matters into your own hands” and a fist emoji, heaping praise on the vandalism and theft of the confederate flag.
The video shows a man running in traffic after a semi truck, and repeatedly trying to pry the confederate flag off the vehicle as it started and stopped moving, as a man in the vehicle behind the truck filmed the vandalism.
At press time, the video has over 800,000 views, and nearly 18,000 shares, revealing that RA.
King, who admits he is 75 per cent white and says he does not know the identity of his father, ostensibly meaning he could be 100 per cent white, was disowned by Black Lives Matter in 2016 for his management of funds.
“Senior justice writer” Shaun King, who recently sent this correspondent perhaps the most remarkable email in the history of right of reply after he was caught mysteriously deleting 70,000 tweets, was just thrown under the bus by Deray Mckesson and other prominent BLM activists in a series of tweets drawing attention to alleged mismanagement of funds.
This is just the latest in a series of scandals for race-baiter King, who charges $7,500 for speeches about race and gender. Breitbart was the first media organisation to raise questions about Shaun King’s race that have still not been answered. Although King claimed for years to be biracial, after our report he was forced to admit he had no idea who his father was and that both of the people on his birth certificate are white.
It appears King has fallen far from grace, and is now reduced to praising criminality on Facebook to remain relevant.

Speaking on “AM Joy” on Saturday, expert Clint Watts lamented Barr’s network appearances, claiming he’s “advancing” Trump’s “conspiracy” that the Deep State tried to overthrow him with the FBI’s Russia probe.
“Why is the Attorney General doing interviews?” Watts asked. “The Attorney General answers questions, he doesn’t raise them. So every time he goes out and does one of these interviews, he is advancing the conspiracy without evidence.”
“The attorney general’s job is to present evidence on the basis of cases. A year ago, when he’s out in the private sector and he’s hanging out and he wants to write a 19-page memo, he has the right to do that.”
“He doesn’t need to be asking questions and sowing a conspiracy,” Watts added.
Interesting take, considering the media and Democrats, in a massive propaganda effort, have been pushing the conspiracy theory for over two years without evidence that President Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election.
