Open Source Questions for Carney’s Budget “Reset” Meetings
I'm going to try and make one of Carney's budget meetings next week and could use some pointed questions. Below are some inspired by a CassandraM post at Blue Delaware, but I could use some more if you have any.

Today’s news from inside the Alt-Right media bubble & Trump Purge Promise
No reader of DL will be surprised to learn that the problem (according to the right-wing media) isn't the illegal and treasonous activity of the Trump administration, but the real threats to the republic are the "low-life" civil servants who expose the illegal and treasonous activity of the Trump administration.

How successful Trump and his media will be in vilifying these people will depend entirely on how readily the objective (main stream? fake news?) media accepts that narrative.
Finally, the civil servants in question have no investigating authorities to leak information regarding the illegal activity of the Trump administration to. That is why they have gone to the media. That simple fact is completely lost on the Alt-Right media complex and lost on the legit news media for the most part.
