The gas lighting of America continues .... Trump is now giving the medal of honor to Vietnam Vet.

I wonder why he is doing that now. BTW the Vet* is a hero but this thing stinks of
trying to change the subject.

Why do I think I am being set up with this email?

Howdy,

I don't believe in destiny but the situation how I got your email changed the way I think about it and maybe there is something special about us.
You do not know me, anyway, I know you and I really think that you are a marvelous man.
I'd be pleased to tell you some info about myself, but I don't know if you like me or not.
See my photos and if you do like the way I look, send me a private message and we could continue chatting there.
Truly hope that you drop me a msg.
With warmest regards,
Yours Katherine

two things:

1) I don't know if America can handle the truth.

b) Trump badly needs a distraction.

NY Times Charles Blow: Trump isn't Hitler but the Lying ...

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/19/opinion/trump-isnt-hitler-but-the-lying.html?src=trending&module=Ribbon&version=context®ion=Header&action=click&contentCollection=Trending&pgtype=article

One of those lessons is about how purposeful lying can be effectively used as propaganda. The forthcoming comparison isn’t to Hitler the murderer, but to Hitler the liar.

snip

“In the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.”

snip

Trump is no Hitler, but the way he has manipulated the American people with outrageous lies, stacked one on top of the other, has an eerie historical resonance. Demagogy has a fixed design.

It should be mentioned that Vanity Fair reported in 1990 that Trump’s first wife, Ivana, “told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, ‘My New Order,’ which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.” The magazine pointed out that “Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.” (At the time, Trump said, “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.”)

Jeff Sessions wilts under grilling by Al Franken on Russia contacts

Source: Raw Story

The Minnesota Democrat asked Sessions to explain why he continued walking back his denial of contacts with Russia during the campaign, and the attorney general sputtered.

First it was, I did not have communications with the Russians,' Franken said. Which was not true. Then it was, I never met with any Russians to discuss any political campaign, which may or may not be true. Now its, I did not discuss interference in the campaign, which further narrows your initial blanket denial about meeting with the Russians. Since you have qualified your denial to say that you did not discuss issues of the campaign with Russians, what in your view constitutes issues of the campaign?

Sessions proceeded to move the goalposts again.

Well, lets say this without hesitation that I conducted no improper discussions with Russians at any time regarding the campaign or any other item facing this country, Sessions said.

It sings to me like this, it sings to you,
Every time I see him pass

My heart goes crazy
Every time I see him pass
And it starts to beat
