Meanwhile in the USA...
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the single leading source of anti-vax ads on Facebook

Conclusions
A small set of anti-vaccine advertisement buyers have leveraged Facebook advertisements to reach targeted audiences. By deeming all vaccine-related content an issue of “national importance,” Facebook has further the politicized vaccines. The implementation of a blanket disclosure policy also limits which ads can successfully run on Facebook. Improving transparency and limiting misinformation should not be separate goals. Public health communication efforts should consider the potential impact on Facebook users’ vaccine attitudes and behaviors.

AP source: Second US official in Kyiv heard Trump call

The staffer Taylor testified about is David Holmes, the political counselor at the embassy in Kyiv, according to an official familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Holmes is scheduled to testify Friday before House investigators in a closed session.

Current and former U.S. officials say Sondland’s use of a cellphone in a public place in Ukraine to speak with anyone in the U.S. government back home about sensitive matters, let alone the president, would be a significant breach of communications security.

Roger Stone Is Found Guilty in Trial That Revived Trump-Russia Saga

Mr. Stone, 67, was charged with lying to the House Intelligence Committee, trying to block the testimony of another potential witness and concealing reams of evidence from investigators. Prosecutors claimed he tried to thwart the committee’s work because the truth would have “looked terrible” for both the president and his campaign. In all, he faced seven felony charges and was found guilty on all counts.

Trump issues pardons in war-crimes cases, despite Pentagon opposition to the move

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...rimes-cases-despite-pentagon-opposition-move/

Clint Allen Lorance[1] (born December 13, 1984) is a former first lieutenant in the U.S. Army who in August 2013 was found guilty on two counts of second-degree murder for ordering soldiers in his platoon to open fire at three men on a motorcycle in southern Afghanistan in July 2012.[2] He was confined in the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas until he was ordered released by President Donald Trump on November 15th, 2019.[3][4]

Major Mathew Golsteyn is a United States Army officer who served in the War in Afghanistan. He is currently charged with murder after allegedly killing an Afghan in Marjah, known as “Rosoul”, breaking the Army's rules of engagement. His charges came to prominence after President Donald Trump said that he would review Maj. Golsteyn's case.[1][2][3][4]

Edward R. Gallagher (born 1979 or 1980)[1] is a United States Navy SEAL Special Warfare Operator and convicted war criminal. From September 2018 to July 2019, he faced court martial specifications for premeditated murder, attempted murder, obstruction of justice, posing for a photo with a casualty, and other offenses. He was acquitted on almost all charges on July 2, 2019, but was found guilty of posing for a photo with a corpse, considered the least egregious of the crimes. His trial included an unexpected confession from another medic who had been granted immunity, claiming he was the one who actually killed the victim. Gallagher was sentenced to demotion from Chief Petty Officer to Petty Officer First Class and four months in prison, resulting in him being released for time served awaiting trial; this demotion was later directly countermanded by President Donald Trump.

I’m Sorry, Is Impeachment Not Entertaining Enough for You?
The desire for politics to entertain was one of the things that gave us President Trump.

By now, we have a good sense of the playbook Republicans follow when hit with revelations of new Trump administration misdeeds. First comes the heated denial: That never happened. Then, the qualifications: O.K., maybe something happened, but not the way the media says! Finally, the shifted goal post: O.K., it happened exactly the way the media says, but really, is that so bad?
