So in the real world, chuck everything to the right of the magic line as more or less pure crap. I'll make some allowances for Forbes, WSJ, and Barrons, on the grounds that they are primarily business publications, and only secondarily political in nature. And the location of The Economist is simply insane. That must be based solely on the fact that they did not disinvite Steve Bannon from their NYC forum. They are otherwise perfectly rational, as evidenced by their views on Trump and Brexit.

And, to be clear, the creator of the chart is a right-wing commentator in her own right. So, thus tremendously reliable on matters like these.

thanks for the disinformation
Brexit doesn't seem to be a particularly left-right issue. Both Theresa May and David Cameron, the current and former conservative prime ministers, were on the "remain" side.
And plenty of never-Trumpers would claim to be right-wing globalists.
And let's not forget that Megyn Kelly was working for Fox News when she moderated that GOP debate a while back when she did the hatchet job on candidate Trump

Thank you! I definitely agree with the view that the Eurozone without a common fiscal policy is sooner or later doomed to fail. Unwinding it (the EZ) while keeping the EU together is a tricky proposition, and putting in place the requisite fiscal framework for its long term survival (and expansion) brings forth all sorts of difficult North-South (and, I guess ultimately, East-West) questions that I couldn't even begin to pretend to answer.

BREXIT BY PARTY VOTED IN THE 2015 GENERAL ELECTION
93% of UKIP voters (? why not 100%? isn't that the point of the party?)
57% of Conservative voters
31% of Labour voters
27% of Lib Dem voters
voted to leave

incidentally, pocahontas was laying out her positions on foreign policy and trade the other day, no doubt in preparation for a possible run in 2020, and on those matters at least, she sounded an awful lot like the president, attacking the globalist neoliberal elites (although many of us would consider her to be one of the globalist neoliberal elites)
Dick Gephardt, former Dem House Majority and Minority Leader, sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988 on a trade platform

General secretary of the Alliance of Colonial Era Tribes secretary John Norwood told NBC at the time that Trump's nickname "smacks of racism," adding that the president should "stop using our historical people of significance as a racial slur against one of his opponents."

Stop spreading your deep racism here.

If she actually were native american, it might be racist to call her pocahontas, but she isn't.
The point would be that Elizabeth Warren LIED when she falsely claimed to be a native american in order to get a job at Harvard
That and she contributed to  the cookbook “Pow Wow Chow: A Collection of Recipes from Families of the Five Civilized Tribes.” as “Elizabeth Warren, Cherokee,”


The Cherokee Nation are none-too-happy with her

Cherokee Nation: Elizabeth Warren’s Claim To Tribe Is ‘Inappropriate’

Elizabeth Warren mocked the Cherokee Nation when she lied about being a Cherokee. When people call her pocahontas, or fauxcahontas, they're mocking the liar not the Cherokee Nation

He can’t help himself. That’s what he does. And the New Zealand traffic accident thing.

the senate judiciary committee appears to be looking into the FBI raid on the Clinton Foundation whistleblower.
And rightly so.
Sen. Grassley's letter to the FBI
(as an aside: a thank you to Sen. Grassley for making this letter available to the public)
Grassley Demands Answers From Wray Over Raid Of Whistleblower On Clinton Foundation
Cain told the special agent leading the raid that he was protected as a whistleblower, but the agent still ordered 15 additional agents to raid Cain’s home, according to Socarras. The agents searched for six hours while Cain, terrified, sat in the living room.
Those in the FBI/DOJ responsible for this abuse of power need to be terminated. As does Wray if he was a part of this.
The President was exactly right to get rid of Comey, but I'm not sure if Wray is much of an improvement. I realize that the President was in a very difficult position with a razor-thin majority in the Senate combined with RINOs like McCain making it clear that certain of his nominees for cabinet positions and agencies would be blocked. Hopefully with a slightly larger majority in the incoming Senate, the President will be able to get a better FBI head in place.

I don't know how to get an embedded youtube to start at a certain time

It's about the Clinton Foundation whistleblowers

Huber's the (Obama-appointed) US attorney in Utah
The whistleblowes told the House committee  they had to send their evidence to the Huber investigation THREE TIMES because he kept losing it
You'd almost think Huber wasn't interested in the Clinton Foundation.

We've all heard of Huber before.
Everytime someone from Congress complained to Sessions that deep state people like peter strzok and lisa page were lying to Congress, Sessions handed the cases off to Huber.
I suspect nothing is going happen anytime soon. Or ever
Rep. Meadows: Why do you think Mr. Huber waited until November 30th to call you about 4 letters you had sent prior?
Mr. Moynihan: I don’t know.
Rep. Meadows: Do you think it might have had to do with you coming here to testify?… They were fully aware because we had asked them to come and be a witness at this particular hearing. Then all of the sudden you get a phone call from what, Mr. Huber’s second in command. Is that correct?
Mr. Moynihan: He was clearly the assistant US Attorney dealing directly with Mr. Huber.
Rep. Meadows: Well I find it just very coincidental that on November 30th, a few days before the hearing, after we notified them that we wanted them to come testify that all of the sudden they would start following up. So Mr. Doyle what did they say about the documents that you had provided them?
(snip)
Rep. Meadows: So you’re telling me that on November 30th they called you back and they couldn’t find the first two submissions you had made to the Department of Justice and Mr. Huber? That they wanted you to send them again? That’s what you’re telling me?
Mr. Doyle: We’re concluding that ourselves. That’s what we’re concluding.
Oddly, Huber was not available for the hearing.

Another FoxNews journalist desperately trying to deflect attention from the real news.

Sorry, that should be "journalist".
