You must have watched him without Mother at his side. I think she's the one who elbows him when it's time "to speak." She might hand him a 3×5" index card with words on it. Not sure. Can't bear to watch him.

12/ I would like to know if Trump’s White House awarded government contracts to SCL not to deter actual terrorism, but rather to fuel its anti-immigrant messaging and other propaganda. This is potentially a lot worse than standard “corruption.”
Meet David Goodman. He’s the brother of Andrew Goodman a SNCC volunteer that was murdered by the KKK in Mississippi with two other young men in the 60’s.

and we (liberals, progressives & POC) are supposed to reach out & try to make nice with them!!? GTFOH with that notion. May they always reap what they sow
My question is: who is the shadow president behind Trump? He just doesn’t have the mental capacity to do all this distraction so someone is feeding him these things, Stephen Miller? That Nazi is surely behind his immigration stance and possibly the gov’t shutdown over the wall. He needs to be investigated.
David Bowie’s first wife, Angie, once said that Bowie could do a “devastating” impersonation of Elvis Presley. Presley also considered recording a cover version of Bowie’s “Golden Years”. They also shared the same birthday (January 8)
Tonight will be a reminder that for all the shrieking and moaning about Trump's attacks on the press, many of the people running it don't actually care that much. They're piping his racist propaganda directly into American homes. They did not have to. Don't forget it.

I have been thinking about this quote ever since I saw it in a tweet. There were those of us who said this from the beginning, what Dolt45 voters were REALLY all about. But, we’ve seen article upon article about them…how we were supposed to ‘ understand’ them.
Thing is, a lot of us DID understand them, which is why we tired immediately of seeing articles about them.
We told you…that it wasn’t about economic anxiety..
We told you…that they didn’t have a problem with WHITE SOCIALISM…..they only had a problem with socialism that treated everyone the same…
Part of their anger about Obamacare was that it was the first expansion of the American Social Safety Net that DID NOT have in its DESIGN – the exclusion of huge swaths of the American populace (unlike Social Security and Medicare). It took the John Roberts Court to cut people out….

NETWORKS WILL AIR TRUMP’S SURELY INFLAMMATORY IMMIGRATION SPEECH . . . WHY?

9/ This establishes that when Veselnitskaya met with @DonaldJTrumpJr@jaredkushner and Manafort in Trump Tower, she was deeply involved in a Russian govt plot against @Billbrowder and the Magnitsky Act. Now recall Manafort's notes from the Tower meeting! "Russian adoption"
I'm flagging this hidden nugget from the Veselnitskaya indictment: A reference to how Russians tried to set up/frame whistleblowing heroes Sergei Magnitsky and @Billbrowder (if I'm connecting the dots correctly), and how Veselnitskaya participated in such a foul crime. https://t.co/nhtYpBlO33

Oh, wow. Good thing trump doesn’t know this or anything like it, or he’d be saying it’s why he chose this day to lie in prime time to the American people … or that Geo. Washington spoke to him last night via his portrait at the WH to say “build a wall.” Ugh.

MSNBC To Air Obama’s 2004 Convention Speech During Trump’s Address to Nation
I heard they arrested the guy who allegedly shot and killed Jazmine.
Wasn’t sure if it was the guy who killed her, or an accomplice (didn’t catch the full story). Horrible that it happened, no matter what happens now.
I think you are right it was an accomplice but they will catch the killer now that they have that guy.
Hope so!

GREAT NEWS!!!
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS,,,,snap👏🏽
WOW.
That is why bad things happen to people who wish for bad things on others…Karma baby.
And we suppose to feel sorry for her, no I don’t think so. She had no reason to vote for Trump, but yet she went ahead and voted for him.
My question is: who is the shadow president behind Trump? He just doesn’t have the mental capacity to do all this distraction so someone is feeding him these things, Stephen Miller? That Nazi is surely behind his immigration stance and possibly the gov’t shutdown over the wall. He needs to be investigated.
