Hi, MP. Why is your heart not red?
❤️
😀
I feel nothing but rage as I listen to Rachel describe separating babies and children from their parents.
I hear you, Idon. Most of what this “admin” has been doing is rage inducing AND harmful, and what astounds me day after day is that there seems to be no way to stop them. At least I haven’t heard of anything that is not months, if not years, along the way. The helplessness that I feel weighs heavily on the spirit. I wonder if there will be much left of the Us by the time a major election rolls around. To be honest, I sometimes feel like there’s no point to the media sharing the GOP & their leader’s unending stream of hatred and destruction, because the stories rarely ever/also highlight options that would make a difference in a particular case. How much of the sky has to fall on us all before a definite way out is pushed/offered/encouraged? I don’t get it.
How his supporters can say they are Christian is beyond me. Can’t find where Jesus did this anywhere in the bible.
good morning everyone. have a good day
Morning everyone:) Have a good day…do a kindness for someone else. Kindness is contagious:)
I really enjoyed this conversation….gained insight…worth listening to..
His smile is so infectious. I’ve never missed anybody as much I miss the Obama’s integrity, class, charm, humor, dignity, and the honor they brought to the White House.
Amennnn
German Chancellor Angela Merkel reportedly told former President Obama after the 2016 presidential election that she felt obligated to run for a fourth term in office to counter then-President-elect Trump. …

Putin and his sycophants in Russia must be toasting with Champaign and Caviar for their success in installing his puppet president of the United States who is accomplishing Putin’s dream of breaking up the Western Alliance.
So cruz and trump think that he deserves to be pardoned. Got it. This is a sign to Cohen.
Yep. I think – at least – Cohen can’t be pardoned out of a guilty verdict in SDNY, since it would be a state court, if I recall correctly. But any federal charges, yes.
Yes…campaign finance laws, I believe
Who can keep track of everything they’re guilty of – it’s like one from Column A and one from Column B at this point. Ugh.
We shouldn’t laugh. (Or should we?) Good morning, TODville!
Making problems where there should be none.
Some GOOD news:) One more. We can find ONE MORE STATE that believes women are entitled to have equal rights….right?
Old, RICH white men. Zacklee.
I am currently unable to send a tweet to Ms. Joy Ann Reid …. blame my confusion about the password which I have had to change many times during the past few weeks …….
;
but if I could tweet to her, I would point out what should be obvious to many which is that : “Be on your guard Ms. Reid because you are clearly a target of some well-funded and organized campaign to get you off the air. For a while now, these specific people are digging deep into your career path to uncover whatever thing they can use against => even as they are doing or have similar or worse things in their own lives”
;
I have been preparing myself to see all kinds of outrage from this determined group of Reid-haters and I am wondering if it is because she has been so vocal and succinct in her criticism of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, treasonous trump administration and its collusion with Russia.
;
when I see these attacks being pushed by fox, right-wing operatives like greenwald and assange this gives me pause as I consider WHY … they are combing through all she ever did, said, wrote many many years ago ….. but I digress
you tell the truth
Trump admin facing tough questions on child separation policy
Rep. Ted Lieu talks with Rachel Maddow about trying to hold the Trump administration accountable for their new policy of taking babies and children from immigrant parents and forcing a change to the policy.

Outrage over Trump child separation policy saps his zeal to troll
Rachel Maddow points out that while Donald Trump usually delights in doubling down on racially inflammatory trolling of Americans on immigration issues, he hasn’t handled his new policy of taking kids away from parents with quite the same zeal.
A moment of respite. Enjoy!
Hi, Dudette – Just showing up here – how’s your Mom?
Hi J! Mom’s still in the hospital, having a tough go of it dealing with blood clots. She’s being closely monitored and well cared for. Hard for her to get any rest w/ people poking & prodding practically every hour. She’s a warrior though. God Bless my sweet mamma.
Sending hugs, prayers and positive energy to you and your mom. My mom is in the last stages of recovery from recent surgery. It took a small village of my sibs and I to work with her and to take care of things so that she need only concentrate in her health. Hope you have help as well and congratulations on your I year anniversary of being cancer free.
Thanks CEB. I’m cherishing everyday. 😘
Yep, we’ve got a whole posse taking care of Mom. Glad to hear your Mom’s recovery is going well. Love heals.
Praying for you and your mom and fam….i have had issues with clots too….
Scary stuff Sheila! Thank you for your prayers. 🙏🏾
{{{Hugs & prayers for Dudette’s mom ❤️}}}
Thanks GGail! 😘
I’m not surprised she is a warrior – look who her daughter is! And vice versa! God bless her.
😘
Mueller attention intensifying on Trump frame of mind on Comey
Michael Schmidt, reporter for The New York Times, talks with Rachel Maddow about new reporting on Donald Trump’s reaction to the recusal of Jeff Sessions from matters related to the Russia investigation, and a newly revealed memo by Andrew McCabe on the letter Donald Trump asked Rod Rosenstein to write about James Comey.
Bravo, TeenVogue. Again.
Share. WIdely.
very important initiative … thanks to all who are pushing this and also putting it in action …. if the young people show up, and the not-so-young people show up to the vote, then this help will make the changes that the country and world need
Very true.
The problem is that Trumpsters have no clue how government or the economy work, so they believe all the bs that Trump spread during the campaign.
The GOP will try to fix it by conjuring up laws that magically manage to protect Trump voters. TRY.
FBI assembling contents of Michael Cohen’s shredder machine
Rachel Maddow reports on the legal wrangling over evidence in Michael Cohen’s court case, including the revelation that among the material yet to be vetted is the contents of Cohen’s shredder, which the FBI is reassembling.
Manafort gets contender for world’s sketchiest legal defense fund
Rachel Maddow looks at a the very peculiar web site of a new legal defense fund set up for former Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.
SO much fucking winning! Purposeful and willful taking down of America and its workers…for the benefit of an adversary. They chose that asshole for a reason!

The President has the right to pardon but the facts are these: D’Souza intentionally broke the law, voluntarily pled guilty, apologized for his conduct & the judge found no unfairness. The career prosecutors and agents did their job. Period. https://t.co/bA3I8vs4QQ via @politico— Preet Bharara (@PreetBharara) May 31, 2018
The EU has a very detailed list (https://t.co/pKqKabOh1J) of US products it plans to retaliate against, including steel, bourbon, rice, beans, jeans, motor boats, makeup, and orange juice. Canada has not specified plans yet; government has said it’s contemplating several options.— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) 31 May 2018
Dig the hole deeper.
dang it. I meant this:)
Like I said. Laying the groundwork.
Blanket pardon to distract…
=============================
Trump says he is considering a pardon for Martha Stewart, commutation for former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich
President Trump, who just announced a pardon for a controversial conservative activist, told reporters that he is considering commuting the remainder of the sentence of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich (D), who was convicted in 2010 on charges related to the selling of President Barack Obama’s former Senate seat.
Trump also said he was weighing the case of Martha Stewart, the author and television personality, who was convicted in 2004 of obstructing justice and lying to investigators about a well-timed stock sale.
KARMA IS A BITCH DEPT: @PreetBharara wanted to destroy a fellow Indian American to advance his career. Then he got fired & I got pardoned— Dinesh D’Souza (@DineshDSouza) May 31, 2018
There is a process that goes thru the Justice Department….Trump bypassed it
even as Sears is closing 72 more stores around the country …. this incompetent, corrupt, evil, racist, treasonous administration is ramping up more trade battles with allies …. trade battles that are guaranteed to lead to loss on even more US jobs … and people actually voted for this punk??????
Will he scream like an 18-month old when separated from his family?
What Trump is doing to our children is obscenely unforgivable. A father. His little self deeply unconsciousness of the injuries and deaths, accumulating wealth by unjust means, not knowing that we are equal absolutely and that he cannot, will not, escape cause and effect. ABC for example can play for time, distract, DISNEFY, pretend and glamorize. But the fact is my children and me owe KOCH/Putin/Trump nothing at all.
NO MORE!
The term “White Nationalist” is a euphemism for “White Supremacist.”
… which is a term for bigoted racist POS.
A White Nationalist is running this country from the White House so this is not even surprising. Sad but not shocking. Our side must come out and stand up against what the Republican Party has allowed itself to devolve into.
Truth. Powerful tweet.
UGH
Read Daniel Dale’s TL…. Trump is a fucking asshole
Trump never has to apologize for any dang thing. He’s above the law. Thank goodness for Mueller and the FBI. They’re the only ones investigating this scumball.
When I see how often POC of all ages helping White people and literally using their bodies to save them, I cannot help but wonder whether or not they are dong so for people who hate them. I look at this precious kind child and I look at this elderly white woman from Georgia and I am almost certain that she has spent most of her life being a racist. You never know where your help will come from and it is important for all to remember that there will come a time when we need help and that we may need it from those we consider to be beneath us. I ses a time in the hear future when this country will need the help of those we have hurt by allowing the most greedy and despicable people to lead us and for allowing our worst selves to do so much damage to others and we will not get it or it will come at great cost. We must fight for the soul of our nation.
Naw, Orange Julius…he’s all yours….
He’s as GOP as the elephant.

Go Sally! ❤ Am going to sit quiet-like in my corner & savor that tweet! Nah, 😂😂😂😎 & more 😂😂😂 Phew, am officially in stitches!
So Trump places tariffs on Canada, EU, Mexico and Japan while failing to put sanctions on Russia after he signed them into law. It’s pretty darn clear that he is Putin’s Puppet.
Now wacko racist Roseanne is blaming Michelle Obama for ABC firing her.
Ugh.
Teachers are awesome! ❤ https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Family/teachers-meet-greet-routine-making-manners-matter-texas/story?id=55513728

She’s full of good soul. May she be blessed through this journey. I’ll always hold dear as one of the ❤ moments of her & PBO in The Oval. Great times!
THE LAST WORD WITH LAWRENCE O’DONNELL 5/31/18
What Trump’s Pardons Really Do
Lawrence talks with Laurence Tribe about Tribe’s view that Trump’s promised pardon to a right-wing commentator who pleaded guilty to illegal campaign contributions is “an elephant-whistle to Michael Cohen and all who know damning things about Trump” to protect the President- or else.
It could be $170 million, and I wouldn’t give a shyt.
C’mon Carrie.
Cost of investigation: $17 million.
Trump’s GOLF: $67 million.
Friends, please check out our new RUSSIA TRACKER. We are following all the witness interviews, subpoenas, criminal charges, and much more. Track all the key players. I’ve worked on this for months with @talyellin and @stark_talk. Hope you find it useful. https://t.co/cFhLddbnaH

The Poor Peoples Campaign…is getting little traction even among Dems….why is that
4 Americans killed in Benghazi
•7 Federal investigations
•$6.9M in taxpayer money
•Total Outrage from the Right
4600 Americans killed by Hurricane Maria
•0 Federal investigations
•0 accountability
•Total Silence from the Right
The hypocrisy is deafening??

And even Benghazi Gowdy said ‘Spygate’ was garbage.
Morning everyone. Thread:)
Hayes has been good about the separating families evil going on right now with Dolt45.
I said from the beginning, that THIS might actually STICK, because of the simplicity of its utter EVIL.
You don’t have to approve of illegal immigration to believe that CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THEIR PARENTS.
ALL IN WITH CHRIS HAYES 5/31/18
Backlash grows against separation of migrant families
A backlash is growing against the Trump administration’s new policy of separating parents and children at the border.
Trump taking a 53-week old baby hostage in order to terrorize families that are here legally to petition for asylum….HHS Nielsen lied to Senator Harris when she responded that Trump policy was not aimed at deterrence. All developed democracies have agreed to determine
whethe a family is in danger before taking any action + they don’t separate parents and children. Facts show that families fleeing for their lives will not be deterred. Preventing Medicaid in red states, killing Puerto Ricans. Crimes against humanity.
KOCH/Putin/GOP/Trump white supremacy has come to this.
And the asshole’s fake outrage about Samantha Bee….stuff it, Old Man!
THIS ALL OVER THE PLACE!
Trump sends signal with pardons, could face rude awakening

Weak Trump effort leaves Puerto Rico exposed for new storm season
Rachel Maddow reports on conditions in Puerto Rico after the Trump administration’s weak restoration effort, noting that with the arrival of the new hurricane season the island is not likely to be able to withstand even a small storm.
I support Joy Reid 200%. Long history of racists trying to silence Black voices in America. The same people who give Trump, Greitens, Roseanne, Roy Moore, and Assange a pass for heinous acts want to destroy her.
