1. Trump asserts that dead soldiers are looking down from heaven and supporting him. 2. We haven’t “won” by any stretch of the imagination. (There are valid arguments for troop withdrawal but not done this way.) 3. Trump telegraphs his intention to use returning troops as props. https://t.co/XlikoDzPU1
As Much as this a Travesty…the Real Travesty is the corrupt and bankrupt Republican Party…who props up an asset of Putin,,,in order to cover their own connections with Russia…I am so sorrowful at this…
Washington Examiner said Michelle Obama was so rude because she said something about the Inauguration gift Melania brought her last night on the Tonight Show.,What these people seem to have forgotten is Melania was right there with Donald J. Trump pushing that birther lie. Michelle talk about how that affected her.. The Trumps knew that Barack Obama was born in this country but they didn’t care. They kept spreading that birther lie.
We’ve expected other protests today at the WH. When we arrived there were several groups protesting Trump’s decision for US to get out of Syria. They make good noise, so we gladly moved to H street, closer to the traffic & people who support our demonstration! PUTIN’S STOOGE! pic.twitter.com/5d9LKgPqQg
I love Barack Hussein Obama. He is in truth our 44ever president. He is the real deal, who brings light and love wherever he goes. He who shall not be named wants the love that PBO receives, but he only gets back the hate that he sends out. Darkness attracts and is attracted by darkness, while light beckons light. The evil one is learning that no matter how hard he tries, he cannot extinguish the light that is the Obamas. I know some wanted Barack and Michelle to get down into the dirt with their haters, but we are all so blessed that they resisted this. Their actions give us hope and the strength to fight the right way to make our union more perfect.

Good riddance to all these pukes. They stayed too long at the dance, and it had nothing to do with their ages. It was their empty souls.
Walking off the floor after his last Senate vote, @senorrinhatch tells us: “I love the Senate, it’s a great place. It’s amazing the country has survived all of us, but it’s a remarkable country and the constitution is a remarkable document…” pic.twitter.com/WNyKuTCWWC
If anyone tweets with any Democratic Congress people, please remind them that President Obama left Iraq pursuant to a Status of Forces Agreement regarding Iraq made by Republican President George W Bush on behalf of the USA. Due to Iraq not giving immunity to the troops the Obama administration left but did keep training force or send some back.
Democrats should be making this significant distinction and not let the GOP and some Democrats smear President Obama.
If you are someone who has cancer right now, I dedicate this post to you & I hope you beat it before 2019. I hope your loved ones are healing you w/ love.

Maybe Judge Emett Sullivan casually used the word “treason” because the redacted material suggested that Flynn was working with Trump to help Turkey and Russia carve up Syria, which would give “aid and comfort” to ISIS, our ENEMY. Note Trump’s sudden withdrawal from Syria today.
His Master is very pleased. He needs to be gone before he does irreparable damage to our country and the world. NOW WOULD BE GOOD
Adm. James Stavridis on Trump's Syria withdrawal: "This is a massive geopolitical win for Putin … It'll be written globally as a walk-away and a betrayal. This is really, geopolitically, the worst move I've seen from this administration. That's a high bar to get over." @MSNBC

As if black men aren’t allowed to cash fucking thousand dollar checks, I’m sorry for my language Dudette but I know what it is to be pulled over while driving black, shopping while black (I’ve got a story to tell you about shopping while black). Or crossing the fucking street or walking in a parking lot while black. Its like black people aren’t supposed to be seen or heard. Here you have a black man trying to cash a fucking check, and he’s treated like a goddamn dog. He showed two pieces of ID and provided a fucking fingerprint and still he’s put in a police cruiser, this is the shit black people have to face everyday. We have to spend so much fucking time and use so much energy trying to navigate this racist system that by the time its time to fight we’re worn out.
Oh and by the way.: I dunno if this is karma or a cruel cosmic joke.
‘Merica: “Presiding over the vote was Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, a Mississippi Republican who stirred controversy last month after joking that she would attend a "public hanging" if invited by a supporter.”https://t.co/Lo152njn0o
You will never convince me that this happens without @eji_org opening a museum and memorial dedicated to the victims of lynching earlier this year. It took black Senators to make it happen. I feel happy, sad, sick, and furious all at once, which is to say I feel black in America. https://t.co/A9TZvaBHGS
Oh great, they aren’t allowed to lynch us anymore. But they can do whatever the fuck they want to do to us and most times get away with it. Sorry for my attitude but all of this has me feeling some sort of way today.
For Folks wondering why there has been no action in the House re: the VRA….
Please do. Three years ago Goodlatte vowed that there would be no hearings on a bill to amend the Voting Rights Act so long as he chaired the Judiciary Committee. He was true to his word, and here we are. https://t.co/hNb8QDiM7g
Violence against Native American women is far beyond (10 times) any other group in America. The rapists and murderers get away with it. The Trump regime is working on behalf of this pattern of inherent racism nationwide. We desperately need Savanna’s Act to be passed.
Hello Trumpies: Native Americans were here first. At least for the last 15,000 years.
On Central Americans:
Teotihuacan was the 3rd biggest city in the world 1,500 years ago. Architecture, astronomy, math, complex religion. Collapsed AD 700 setting for the eventual rise of the Aztecs (whose center is now Mexico City). The Aztec triple alliance (1450) was the center of the vast Aztec empire which geographically stretched nearly coast to coast in central Mexico.
Teotihuacan was built on geometric grid with neighborhoods and apartment complexes. It was so influential that elites in the Mayan world used Teotihuacan symbolism to illustrate their connection. There were many Central and South America civilizations at this time.
Hello Trump: Immense complex civilizations were here long before 1492.
When Cortez first laid eyes on Teotihuacan he couldn’t believe the extraordinary sight of the vast gleaming city of marble and gold.
He returned and destroyed it. This long sordid history of racism is still being played out today.

Hope to find a clip of his “thoughts” about Nielsen later, because it was the finest take-down I’ve seen yet.
Congressman – Only saw a brief clip of your questioning of Nielsen via @mitchellreports just now, but, sir: BRAVO. You speak for everybody with a conscience in this country. Thank you.
Trump withdrawal of troops from Syria. (His giant LIE about “victory over ISIS”….throw up…Here.)
-Dicktraitor playing to Russia, Iran, Hezbollah, Assad while in the pay of Putin and compromised by Putin.
-While sucking up to Erdogan and Putin he helps Iran and all who are anti-Israel.
-Trump Treasury plans to LIFT sanctions on Putin’s global oligarch buddy Deripaska, who owns the world’s second-largest aluminum company.
Trumputin has sold his soul to Russia. Doing Putin’s bidding and never mind the fall out.
Lock.Him.Up.
WHAT?! "In an astonishing departure from protocol, as the requests were being made, Treasury officials were using their government email accounts to send messages back and forth with a network of private Hotmail and Gmail accounts set up by the Russians." https://t.co/j4RJ0oaQhe
I’m not surprised at all, this is just another Thursday for the trump junta. The man has a pee tape out there for god sake, so a little collusion with the Russians is par for the course.
Thread. Republicans, get your fucking fraud pretend president on a damn leash.
If this report is correct, the President and his Adm must officially inform the American public and US allies that this is the case. That we are leaving #EastSyria because of President #Erdogan request. Better inform the Congress and Americans about the reason, early, not late…
Yes, JO’B, I loved it, it was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing …….. but did you say ‘simple performance’? G-grandm, I don’t think I want to see your idea of ‘complex’! 🙂 🙂

We must keep that word BINGO handy, looks like.

Hope things are nice and toasty for trump by that point.
I’m planning on going. There’s a bus that I signed to go on that’s leaving from Mt. Laurel, NJ. It cost me $45.
Good night, Jaqueline!
I’ll be with you in spirit, for sure (since I’m a New Jersey woman, through and through!). And good day to you!
Thank you! Same to you.
No goddess nap today, so I shall “take my leave.” Ha. Love all y’all in TODville, and I wish you sweet dreams when you get there.

Damn. Those boots put Dorothy’s ruby slippers to shame!

I saw that on the news. Would they do a white man like that? Hell no.
It’s exhausting, it’s infuriating, it’s goddamned sickening!
It’s 2018.
Oh and by the way.: I dunno if this is karma or a cruel cosmic joke.
Pro-lyncher Hyde-Smith should be done & done. The ‘double-down GOP strategy’ seen here must not distract from the facts.
Oh great, they aren’t allowed to lynch us anymore. But they can do whatever the fuck they want to do to us and most times get away with it. Sorry for my attitude but all of this has me feeling some sort of way today.
I understand….standing with you..Don
Don they can shoot blacks any time they want, the cops and with that stand your ground B.S.
They don’t need to hang anyone.
I feel the same way, Don.

Ah but – our young people are incredibly energized, unified, excited and inspired by factual learning.
