THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW 8/15/17 Dodgy development deal in Georgia exposes Trump to legal risk
Adam Davidson, staff writer for The New Yorker, talks with Rachel Maddow about why a sketchy Donald Trump real estate deal in the nation of Georgia could expose Trump to legal problems, not to mention Russian “Kompromat.”

The Nazi site Daily Stormer, formerly of godaddy, kicked off of google, is now being hosted in Russia, in case it needed to be more obvious.
After all the outrageous things Trump has done, WHY HAS HE NOT BEEN IMPEACHED? Yesterday was sickening. RIP Heather Heyer, and the 2 police officers who died in the chopper crash. Praying that this will FINALLY be the beginning of the end of the charlatan in the White House.
There must be an ironclad case to include as many of them as possible. Only impeaching the SCROTUS is not enough, we will end up with Pence, or worse. Each and every day, these people overtly demonstrate their madness and corruption. People are waking up, if they were not already awake, and recognising how extremely dire and demanding this time is. Those who were conscious, awake and aware are suffering, but Keep You The Heart, we have strong, intelligent and dedicated people handling this, without them all would be lost. Breathe, walk in a quiet area (if possible), remember life existed long before we walked the earth. Pray it will continue to exist long after this blight is removed. 🙏🏼📿🗝
Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Wednesday morning. Congrats rikyrah, on being first this morning.
Nerdy, thanks so much for helping Ms. Chips and for the sacrifices you’re making for us TOD’ers. 💫🙏👌👊❤
To all, I hope you give your very best, at whatever you’re doing, at the very moment you’re doing it, today. ❤ ❤ ❤
I am thankful to God that I lived to witness one of the greatest President of The United States of America in President Barack Hussein Obama ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆

They were all there as props to make it seem like the do-nothing/know nothing president was actually doing some work that would be of benefit to all. By now, everyone should know that we do not have an effective executive branch that espouses the best in us, so cities, states, companies and institutions must work around this disaster to get things done, to hold the country together, and to protect its citizens. We should also consider holding back federal taxes since the funds are not being used for the common good.
I read but don’t comment anymore. However, today I can’t help feeling like Republicans are not going to do anything about Trump. Talk is cheap. They are not going to submit articles of impeachment. Mueller is our only hope of getting rid of Trump because this egomaniac will never resign. Therefore I think we must hold on to each other in hopes that this storm will pass before so much damage is done it cannot be undone.
Thanks to NW and to all of you for your positive and inspiring words of hope. And thanks to President Obama for being the truth.
This is probably in revenge for all of the “likes” that PBO got on his tweet re Charlottesville. Trump is petty and small minded enough to do something like this. Another example that elections have consequences, to all of those who wasted their votes on Jill Stein and Trump.
Dudette, this is so disgusting. Everything he does takes something away from the American people. He hasn’t done anything to help anyone in this country. He is using the office of the Presidency to exact revenge.
Mitch McConnell is a straight up racist, “His only goal was to make PBO a one term president” from DAY ONE. He takes pictures with the confederate flag…..anything McTurtle says means nothing to me.
No one who lives for revenge profits in the end; he and all of those who have enable him will reap the whirlwind in ways that we cannot even imagine. All of the terrible things going on reminds us that so many took so many things for granted and did not work to make sure that we kept the good and expanded its reach. We are awake now and taking a hard look at who we really are as a country and who we want to be in the future. The choice has never been so stark, so clear. If we want it and are willing to work for it, we will have a true golden age when our country will finally live up to its ideals.
Why would anyone in the Swamp-Administration want to cycle to that dead end job with the Bigot-in-Chief. The employees probably eat and drink unhealthy, come home depressed, and dejected.
Orange Bully is a scaredy creature! He’s blocked off so many routes around the WH. What RU afraid of, scaredy? The shit you boiled to run away from your debts. Must give you nightmares as you wander around the halls of the WH. Seeing ghosts, lately? Hmmm? Shit, all those slaves who built that WH are freaking that Idiot as he wanders around those rooms of history! He came in w/ bad stuff. And it will be returned.
Sorry to disagree, pkayden. Pigs are intelligent and clean. They wouldn’t even walk through the mud and filth the Dumpster-in-chief creates. I really don’t think there is a creature around who we can equate him to. Even cockroaches have more class and intelligence and purpose than that man.
Good day TOD. Nerdy Wonka, once again THANK YOU for continuing this space for us on a daily basis. It is soothing to my soul to come here for respite. Not sure why, but this tweet this morning is the one that broke the dam for me. All I could think about was how PBO would handle this, with grace, compassion and dignity, and weep for the mess we are in now. And there is the realization that this is not going to go away in the foreseeable future. DT is too egotistical to leave on his own, and the GOP will not get rid of him. I can no longer begin to comprehend the damage he is going to inflict on our nation.
Is there any question that @barackobama would have delivered the eulogy at Heather Heyer's service today on behalf of a riven nation?
GA, GE, TODbots.
It’s been a Dull, but pleasant day in MN.
Congrats, Rkyrah on your Au ⭐ Ag ⭐ Bronze ⭐ & A beautiful bouquet of Flowers too 😉
Thank you NW, Rock ⭐ 🙂
❤ ❤ ❤ TODville Community.
Baltimore took down 4 statues of hate in the middle of the night… couldn’t believe it when I woke this morning to the news. It was good to feel good about something.
This Not Justice.
As a Child, I was taught that it was better to let a guilty person go free than to jail or kill an innocent man/woman. In USA, these States with the Capital punishment are Not totally abiding by USA’s Justice Creed.
this lunatic was in that Vice video via HBO and he carries several guns and knives and has the audacity to talk about “keeping things peaceful” EFF him and his lying racist wannabe tough guy hogwash. He is a leader of this filth and hate and omg the chickens are coming home to roost. Pay the piper buddy.
When did he have it? Before he went looking for Obama’s birth certificate or after? Or, is it when he said that he preferred those heroes that were not captured? Even better, is it when he said that he enjoyed grabbing women by the p***sy?
What made me run? I walked into my kitchen for breakfast last Nov. 9th to find my wife with a tear in her eye, and she said, "He won." pic.twitter.com/m0TowvbzLT
As Veterans, we told Donald Trump that the way to honor Heather Hayer is to unconditionally oppose white supremacy & hate. He blocked us. pic.twitter.com/cSGxU6ZjVs
On spaceship Earth, there is no place for racism or bigotry. We are all part of one crew on a mission through space and time. pic.twitter.com/SgaTjmami2
One of the hardest lessons for us today. Perpetrators were people. They accepted an ideology that rationalized and promoted hatred & evil. https://t.co/wqJMUxMOvH
For all those GOPers who’re wallowing in false equivalency of sheer racism, let’s just see how they’d like having Nazi symbols & KKK hoods next to their oh so lovely publicist photos. This goes for all, White & Black GOP. Sorry for my angst, just saw a young Black GOP dude (can’t remember his name) just simply twinging rubber bands around questions from Joy. I don’t care to rewind to see what his name is because I might just totally scream! Again.
While a number of members of Congress have released statements explicitly condemning white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and the KKK following the president’s remarks, just 16 of 292 Republicans in Congress have released statements that call out Trump directly by name or title.
Thanks, Dudette. Got to remember to keep laughing. Course now I have that song going through my head. Must go find it on iTunes and play it on Monday.
BTW have you ever heard of Niki Haris? Saw her a dozen or more years ago at an event where she sang gospel music. Wow! Just found her CD when cleaning out a drawer and went online to see if she had others. Boy, can that woman sing, and just about every kind of music there is. Blew me away again. Thought you would enjoy knowing about her, if you already didn’t. 🙂
On Rachel Maddow great segment w/ Sherrilyn Ifill, cousin of Gwen Ifill, law professor, President & Director Counsel of NAACP Legal Defense Fund. She’s has no more ‘effs lying around being idle-like. 🙂 This is tonight’s show, so will look for link.

Good Morning, Everyone 🙂
Good morning to you too rikyrah. 🙂
Thank you so much, NW. Your tweets yesterday were ON FIRE…as usual.

What a painful day for our nation.
Do yourself a big favor and watch this, our Healer-in-Chief:
Thank you meta for posting this! If ever our country needed this, we need it now! If ever a man lived showing amazing grace, it was President Obama.
I just found it so restorative, especially today. So glad you enjoyed it, too, carolyn.
Amazing Grace. Love that song.
After all the outrageous things Trump has done, WHY HAS HE NOT BEEN IMPEACHED? Yesterday was sickening. RIP Heather Heyer, and the 2 police officers who died in the chopper crash. Praying that this will FINALLY be the beginning of the end of the charlatan in the White House.

Thanks, in so many ways I needed this reminder.
❤️👋🏼📿
Thanks so much, Pamela! Easy to lose hope these days. Love & hugs to you! 😀❤️😘
The effing media doesn’t have the guts to raise this point.
And the police did nothing. Had Black people had weapons at any demonstration, the police would have went hog wild.
They would have brought out the tanks and probably got military planes to drop bombs……
This is how the SPLC has waged war against hate. One lawsuit at a time until they are bankrupt.
That’s a strong woman. So sorry for her loss. This should not be happening in 2017.
Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Wednesday morning. Congrats rikyrah, on being first this morning.

Me too. President Obama is still my president since I don’t have one right now. He was the best in my lifetime.
They were all there as props to make it seem like the do-nothing/know nothing president was actually doing some work that would be of benefit to all. By now, everyone should know that we do not have an effective executive branch that espouses the best in us, so cities, states, companies and institutions must work around this disaster to get things done, to hold the country together, and to protect its citizens.

I’m not surprised at all.
Awesomeness!!!
Even this. Damn that’s some powerful hate.
This is probably in revenge for all of the “likes” that PBO got on his tweet re Charlottesville. Trump is petty and small minded enough to do something like this. Another example that elections have consequences, to all of those who wasted their votes on Jill Stein and Trump.
Dudette, this is so disgusting. Everything he does takes something away from the American people. He hasn’t done anything to help anyone in this country. He is using the office of the Presidency to exact revenge.
Have Republicans still been quiet about their racists President? What have Mitch McConnell said?
Mitch McConnell is a straight up racist, “His only goal was to make PBO a one term president” from DAY ONE. He takes pictures with the confederate flag…..anything McTurtle says means nothing to me.

GA NCLB.
Mystifies me how MSM steadfastly refuses to remind Americans:
#QuitterInChief of a whole of other #quitters.
And he is in no way comparable to President Obama who is a dignified, classy, well-spoken, kind hearted gentleman. Trump is a pig.
Sorry to disagree, pkayden. Pigs are intelligent and clean. They wouldn’t even walk through the mud and filth the Dumpster-in-chief creates. I really don’t think there is a creature around who we can equate him to. Even cockroaches have more class and intelligence and purpose than that man.
Good to hear.
America – diminished and dismissed.

HYPOCRITES Dudette. They had a chance long time ago to denounce this sexual predator racist, but they decided to vote for him.
GOOD MOVE.
The folks at Merriam-Webster really are quite wonderful.

The last one needs to be circled all by himself.
Now Fox News is in the business of looking for missing “fine persons”! Wow.
When did he have it? Before he went looking for Obama’s birth certificate or after? Or, is it when he said that he preferred those heroes that were not captured? Even better, is it when he said that he enjoyed grabbing women by the p***sy?
Having a Come to Jesus moment with the truth?
Whoa! This is HUGE!
Oh by the way… Mr. “I like to have the facts” lied again!
LOL!
No. No way!
Yup. With a cowardly party of thugs behind him.
good job, trump- now they wanna burn crosses.

Turn around 🎼🎹…
Thanks, Dudette. Got to remember to keep laughing. Course now I have that song going through my head. Must go find it on iTunes and play it on Monday.
BTW have you ever heard of Niki Haris? Saw her a dozen or more years ago at an event where she sang gospel music. Wow! Just found her CD when cleaning out a drawer and went online to see if she had others. Boy, can that woman sing, and just about every kind of music there is. Blew me away again. Thought you would enjoy knowing about her, if you already didn’t. 🙂
Hi cd4b. Don’t know her; will check her out though. Thanks!
Forget censure, I’m ready for the #NoConfidenceVote
