You'd find something to be critical about if Trump were to find a cure for cancer.

Interesting...I listened to part of a press conference with Sanders yesterday or the day before and her comment as I recall was for those who say that nothing is budgeted for the drug crisis, don't hold me to the number, but she did provide a specific number in the budget and I think it was one billion dollars.

Bombshell video shows Barack Obama campaign director bragging about exploiting Facebook users 8 theduran

When Trump uses a UK data mining firm to exploit Facebook’s social graph, outrage.

Not at the obvious UK election meddling, but at the fact that it was the Trump campaign team using social media to garner votes.

When Obama did the exact same thing…no outrage, no Facebook bans, no calls for Facebook’s CEO to testify in front of Congress.

Carol Davidsen, who served as Obama’s director of integration and media analytics during his 2012 campaign, even bragged (see video below) about how Facebook was totally cool with the Obama campaign harvesting Facebook’s user data to drum up support, and eventually win the US presidential election.

Via Zerohedge…

The recent controversy and escalating scandal over Facebook’s decision to ban Trump-linked political data firm Cambridge Analytica over the use of data harvested through a personality app under the guise of academic research has opened a veritable Pandora’s box of scandal for the Silicon Valley social media giant.

Carol Davidsen, who served as Obama’s director of integration and media analytics during his 2012 campaign (in her LinkedIn profile she says she was responsible for “The Optimizer” & “Narwhal” big data analytics platforms), claims – with evidence, that Facebook found out about a massive data-mining operation they were conducting to “suck out the whole social graph” in order to target potential voters. After Facebook found out, they knowingly allowed them to continue doing it because they were supportive of the campaign.

“[M]ore than 1 million Obama backers who signed up for the [Facebook-based app] gave the campaign permission to look at their Facebook friend lists. In an instant, the campaign had a way to see the hidden young voters. Roughly 85% of those without a listed phone number could be found in the uploaded friend lists. What’s more, Facebook offered an ideal way to reach them,” reads an article Davidsen posted as a prelude to her postings.

In a series of Sunday night tweets, Davidsen explained how the Obama campaign was able to use Facebook data to “append to our email lists.”

What did Facebook do when they found out about the Obama campaign team data mining for political gain (the very same thing they banned Cambridge Analytica for doing)? Facebook did nothing…they “didn’t stop us.”

Facebook was surprised we were able to suck out the whole social graph, but they didn’t stop us once they realized that was what we were doing.

How involved was Facebook in Obama’s campaign? The social network giant even “came to office in the days following election recruiting & were very candid that they allowed us to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side.”

I worked on all of the data integration projects at OFA. This was the only one that felt creepy, even though we played by the rules, and didn’t do anything I felt was ugly, with the data.

Facebook obviously has selective standards when it comes to their data collection policy.

Zerohedge reports that Cambridge Analytica bought data harvested using a personality app called “thisisyourdigitallife,” created by two psychology professors.

When CA was asked to stop and delete all of the harvested data, they did – however Facebook banned Cambridge Analytics and their parent company SCL after an anonymous source which Facebook won’t disclose reported that not all of the data had been deleted.

So the 2012 Obama campaign was scraping data from Facebook, got caught, and was specifically told they were allowed to do things “they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side.”

Davidsen then tweeted “I am also 100% positive that Facebook activity recruits and staffs people that are on the other side.”

Funny she should say that!

Turns out one of the two founding directors of Global Science Research (GSR), which sold the data to Cambridge Analytica, is employed by Facebook!

MEDIA SILENT on Maryland School Shooting After They Find Out Who Stopped the ShooterMar 20, 2018 20.8KSHARES Share Tweet Plus Pin CNN and MSNBC backed off on coverage of the Maryland school shooting this morning after it was reported that an ARMED Resource Officer shot the shooter to end the incident. Yes! A good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun! Can you imagine if the officer hadn’t been there? The main stream media was all over this incident with comments about gun control and even mocking comments towards conservatives that “thoughts and prayers” weren’t answered after the Florida shooting. The anti-gun crowd was all over social media with taunting comments towards the NRA. Well, that was until the good news came out that a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun: Daily Caller reports: The Great Mills High School student who injured two others Tuesday morning was reportedly stopped by the school’s “armed” resource officer. According to WUSA9’s Peggy Fox, St. Mary’s County Sheriff Tim Cameron updated reporters after the incident had been contained. Cameron stated that three students were injured in the incident, including the shooter himself, who was taken down by an armed school resource officer. The SRO reportedly responded without hesitation and exchanged gunshots with the suspect before disarming him. He was not injured in the exchange. There you go! President Trump is right again! He’s all for arming teachers and school safety guards to protect students and teachers.

I looked for details on the opioid crisis since your news sources said they did not exist... The proposed deal also bumps up funding in the fight against opioid abuse, to the tune of $2.8 billion for treatment, prevention and research. There is also an additional $2 billion to address Veterans Affairs facilities. Trump Talks Tough On Drug Traffickers, Immigrants, But Leaves Out Funding Details For New Opioid Plan
