Thanks to you, our dedicated supporters, writing hundreds of thousands of letters, postcards & emails to your MPs, we have defeated the Gov's Brexit deal.
yes, what I said earlier: PM May should have be open with the people the day she realized that she was going to lead the nation.
She should have told them that :
(a) she would not trigger the Article to initiate a countdown by the EU but would ask a pause in taking further action;
(b) Instead all the people of UK would have to participate in another referendum once a significant amount of time had elapsed and more debates had been heard about the pros and cons;
the wait would be worth it because the Brexit vote was :
(a) dominated by a campaign hate mongering that was tearing the UK apart,
(b) a decision that would have huge implications for the future of the nation and yet it was opposed by close to half of UK with potential for the numbers to rise
(c) one that required a buy-in from the people once the preliminary draft had been negotiated;
(d) followed by actions that revealed that the Brexit leaders knew how to lie, destroy and run away from the carnage but did not know how to build
So does this mean May (the Windrush & anti immigrants face of Britain) is out? Vote of no confidence for her govt. And that Brexit referendum is up for another people’s vote?
Despite they voted against her Brexit deal, it is very unlikey that members of May’s party will vote against her in a “Vote of Confidence”. She will remain the PM & Brexit will remain a mess. May dos not want another referendum, so that option is not guaranteed – and what happens if they now vote NO. The yes voters will scream to do it over again.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., joined the growing 2020 presidential field, announcing in a taped appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" that she’s forming an exploratory committee to run for president. https://t.co/Q3mkhWo8jN
As I was watching the Barr confirmation hearing today it struck me, Barr and his ilk will gladly seek employment from trump, a man devoid of morality. Why would someone choose to work for someone like that, why would you choose to defend and or promulgate anything that comes out of trump’s mouth?
The divine right to rule – RW supporters believe any other form of government is illegal. They want trump to succeed in stacking the judiciary so democrats will never get any “people” legislation into permanent law.
*2035* "Dad, I'm doing a research paper for school and I'm supposed to ask you questions about historical events." "Go ahead." "In Mid-January 2019 were you more infuriated by hamburgers or Gillette razors?"
I had to look into this Gillette razor thing earlier today and I’m shocked that some people are so bent out of shape all because Gillette told men to be more cognizant of who they are. I guess a hit dog will holler.
If this person starts pulling strings and calling in favors to try to undermine and even end your investigation, if he gets top people fired for asking too many hard questions, if he gives away secrets to the bad guys, do you figure that hey, he's probably just innocent?

Man, there was just no way I could watch the Barr confirmation hearing today. I’m so completely sick of toxic old white men whose sole purpose in life is protecting their own but who claim to be the arbiters of justice. Sick of the promotion of white privilege when our country is drowning from their stupidity. I can’t do it anymore.
The financial crisis was Obama’s moment of truth, and he sided with the establishment. Now, the 2020 field must contend with an uncomfortable question: was Obama a bad president? https://t.co/WY6JExdxoI
It is so disheartening to see people lapping this junk up. There were no laws in place to punish most of the banking people (after the Glass-Steagall legislation was repealed during Pres Clinton’s term) and Pres Obama and the Democrats sought to remedy this with Dodd-Frank .
I like to believe that Democrats have some sense. The block of voters they know they can count on are the Black voters, but a warning for them is disrespect our President and you are disrespecting us.. Just remember that Democrats.
So let’s consider:
Predicated on a fake wall dispute, the real goal is to reduce the size and effectiveness of the federal government.
Trump is creating a situation where federal employees will want to quit. He’s making these jobs look less appealing, less secure.
Weakness, chaos, dysfunction, and internal instability all play into the hands of Putin and his mafia corporates.
–The longer this goes on the clearer it is that Donald Trump and the GOP are engaged in dismantling America before our very eyes.
I got a call from a coworker today, said she was going to go to a food pantry that was providing assistance to federal workers. This is a proud black woman that I’m talking about, a very proud woman, I felt so bad for her. I told her if she needed anything please let me know. But she’s too proud that she won’t take anything from me. She’s worked for the feds for over twenty-years, and one missed paycheck is doing this type of damage. I fear that a lot more of my coworkers are going to be devastated if they miss another paycheck.
Some of my coworkers aren’t even showing up for work anymore. At least I can say that the executive staff aren’t really pushing the issue, they are trying to keep the operation going as best they can.
Sorry Don. And don’t you think this could be a long game. Doing national security work on an empty stomach? Your coworker already struggling. Trump is devoid of feeling for others and imo we need words from Mueller now. Will see Rachel’s show much later on tonight,
am hoping for news. Seems Trump + minions are willing to starve blameless employees and their children in order to break up our Government. We need food pantries Everywhere. And protests. And inviting families over for dinner…what else? Please what can be done?
Federal unions suing Trump administration to get paid so far not much traction: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/01/15/essence-involuntary-servitude-federal-unions-sue-trump-administration-get-paid-shutdown-work/?noredirect=on
I think the first week of the shutdown I told a coworker that it should be over in a couple of days. Now I’m now so sure when the shutdown will end. We have no choice but to keep fighting.
Rachel and Lawrence covered the shutdown. Senator Tester talked about how many Americans live paycheck to paycheck including
our federal workers. To me it is just common sense that TSA employees forced to work without pay is not good for our national security. Tester is focused on McConnell actually doing his job = put the bills on the floor, get them on Trump’s desk and go through due process, do the job the Senate is there to do, and that Congress is there to do.
Some facts from Tester on the Senate floor Jan 9th: https://www.c-span.org/video/?456789-14/senator-tester-government-shutdown
I missed the hearings. Did any senator read our loud Individuals 1’s many attacks, insults and false accusations directed at justice department professionals and intelligence agency professionals and ask Barr how he FEELS about them? Are they APPROPRIATE statements from a high ranking U.S. Government Official??
Today you will not be receiving your regularly scheduled paycheck. To the best of my knowledge, this marks the first time in our Nation’s history that servicemembers in a U.S. Armed Force have not been paid during a lapse in appropriations. Read more: https://t.co/5tLzGhK2ntpic.twitter.com/J2o00zWm0k
No way trump knew they wouldn’t be getting paid, nor does he care. He also wouldn’t know that (although they normally used to be under the Transportation Department and are now under Homeland Security) during times of “war or conflict,” the U.S. Coast Guard is transferred under the U.S. Navy. I think the military are still getting paid, and if he OR ANYBODY WHO WORKS FOR HIM knew the regs, they could have administratively transferred them to the Navy in the short term of this “emergency,” assuring they’d get paid. I’M SO LIVID ABOUT ALL OF THIS, I COULD SPIT.
During the 2016 campaign Trump had trouble remembering that there was a US Coast Guard and he also, once he learned it existed, thought the country didn’t need it. Well, he never gets in a boat so I guess . . . . But we live in a Coast Guard City and are very proud of their service to all. A few nights ago we heard their helicopters over the East Arm of Grand Traverse Bay in Lake Michigan where they practice rescue maneuvers in all kinds of weather, including January’s very cold weather. I am frankly disgusted. The Coast Guard should be as protected from GOP temper tantrum shutdowns as the other US military members are.
https://t.co/Q7YSpBak9j American LifeLike Page October 28, 2016 · We asked Sara Bareilles to imagine what President Obama might be thinking about this election and Donald Trump. She wrote this song, which Leslie Odom Jr. sings. (Stunning! I hope you dont miss it)
I remember first hearing that beautiful song at the time. We, as a nation, made great strides forward while President Obama was in office. My heart breaks to see what is happening now – especially the cowardice of the Republicans in Congress who have a chance to help dig us out of this cavernous hole we’re now in.
They weren't "partying on the beach," you lying asshole. They were holding a fundraiser for Puerto Rico recovery efforts. Something that wouldn't be necessary if Trump and the GOP Congress had given Puerto Rico the same humanitarian aid that was given to Florida and Texas. https://t.co/hLLhfvyVPs
These corrupt arses are making me run out of my lifetime MoFo’s, Effs, etcetera. I’m now a proud owner of words that have yet to make it into Dictionary.com or Webster’s. 😔 😂😎
@senatemajldr@GOP The Red Cross is now helping the families of the members of the United States Coast Guard who are not being paid due to YOUR government shutdown. Think about that tonight.
Has anyone told @realDonaldTrump that the shutdown costs the government money? Big money. And that government workers are not the only victims. https://t.co/YCj6E3zBCp
To be honest, the fact that Clemson showed up to the White House means that they’re not good people. I wouldn’t go anywhere Trump was unless I absolutely had to do so. They seemed happy with the hamburgers so who cares?
BREAKING: Court docs say: “in 2017 Manafort told Gates that he was using intermediaries, including [redacted] to get people appointed in the Administration.” Translation: Putin chose Trump’s cabinet, via Manafort. Makes sense. Almost everyone appointed was linked to Putin.
Good morning from the chilly Caribbean its in the low 60s, that’s real cold for some folks. I do believe that the Orange One is being played by the Russkie. Close down the govt and kill the economy slowly, by the time the citizens notice what’s happening its too late.
Smart move from our Speaker of the House!
—————-
In a letter to President Trump, the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said, “Sadly, given the security concerns and unless government re-opens this week, I suggest that we work together to determine another suitable date after government has reopened for this address or for you to consider delivering your State of the Union address in writing to the Congress on January 29th
No Democrat should attend the SOTU if the shutdown is still going on at that time. This is outrageous and hundreds of thousands of Americans are suffering because of Trump’s shutdown. Stop normalizing this nonsense.
NEW: Deripaska's company Rusal has retooled its leadership to try to get out from US sanctions. Their new board chairman is a French investor who has pushed conspiracy theories on Syria's chemical weapons and started a group called "Friends of Crimea"https://t.co/K3b8HD3DsX
Sue the MF’er and take him to court if need be. He is not upholding the Constitution that he took an oath to protect
Or
HAS NOBODY NOTICED? By keeping government shut down and not paying military, TSA & other “essential” fed workers, Trump violates spirit of the 13th Amendment, banning forced labor, and of Sec 4 of the 14th, demanding that the US pay all its legally authorized debts. Just sayin.
BREAKING: Suicide bomber in a market in the Syrian city of Manbij has hit coalition forces, including Americans, and civilians, a senior Kurdish security official in the city tells @NBCNews – @RichardEngelhttps://t.co/0NSVQp5OEE
ISIS taking credit for suicide bombing and U.S troops maybe killed, remember Trump said ISIS was destroyed and he would be bring troops home. Looks like ISIS is not destroy.

Hello Pences:
The “I” represents Intersex. The current nomenclature for some human beings is LGBTQI.
Due to human biological variation, some babies are born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t fit socially constructed definitions of female or male. Baby may have atypical male and female genitals, or have the insides of one sex and outsides of another, or other. Parents are advised to let be, and allow their child to grow up and decide if and when he/she/they chooses to make any body changes.
Or not.
See: http://www.isna.org/faq/what_is_intersex
And Pences – it’s good to keep up.
There’s also the issue of identifying as male or female. One can look like the “usual” boy or girl – yet not identify as male or female.
See this cute little book: “A Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns” by Bongiovianni and Jimerson. Enjoy!
BREAKING NEWS ALERT
Congressman Seth Moulton, a Salem Democrat, will travel to New Hampshire in two weeks to explore a run for president, sources tell The Boston Globe.
Pelosi’s letter effectively cancelling the State of the Union is a reminder: a) she has tons of leverage b) she knows pressure points C) she can snap her fingers and seek Trump’s tax returns.
Great points:
TV SOU not now, nor ever was mandated by Constitution. In-person is a courtesy extended by the Speaker. For most of U.S. history it has been delivered in writing. Fab Pelosi says she will not invite Trump while he drags on his shutdown. Further, the SOU has never before been delivered during a shutdown. The russian cardboard cutout likes to do firsts…but not this time.
Economy has lost nearly half-a-percentage point of growth from the 4-week shutdown. That's not a small number. Last year, economic growth for the first quarter totaled 2.2 percent. The Trump shutdown is threatening the 10-year Obama expansion. https://t.co/3LQqcns7Wx
With Speaker Pelosi telling trump that the SOTU Address be postponed or send it in a letter, she’s effectively taken away all of his oxygen. Pelosi has made trump react to her as opposed to him making her react, he doesn’t know what to do. Shortly I suspect a series of tweets from trump stating that he wasn’t interested in giving a SOTU Address anyway and that these addresses are a waste of time.
I wish the media would do the same. Just a couple of days without Trump standing outside the White House or even inside it prattling on and telling the same lies over and over again. The American people need a rest. Thank God Nancy Pelosi is saving us from a SOTU address on all the networks, chatted over for days and days. Give us some peace, Media, and stop implying that the shutdown is equally the fault of the Democrats and the Republicans. It belongs to the GOP, from Trump on down to the least GOP member of the House.
Please wait a bit.
“federal workers and contractors who are making tough choices about whether or not to look for other jobs, or stay in the federal government even if they are able to get back to work soon.” (think progress) Living paycheck to paycheck is a fkn nightmare in a shutdown.
–Getting government employees to resign and give up on their jobs and careers.

I took a fresh look at the sales figures for @MichelleObama's "Becoming." Amazon has been around for 25 years, and no memoir has ranked No. 1 on Amazon for as long as Obama's has https://t.co/Lk0lHtPTDR
And the book truly deserves its place as the top seller. I am savoring it slowly. I’m a generation older than Michelle Obama and a white woman but the stories of her childhood resonate with my own. Her honesty and the depth of her recollections are just wonderful.
I can duplicate your comment, Beaglemom. I too am savoring it slowly, and am a white woman a generation older than FLOTUS. It is a wonderful book, and she is a wonderful woman. The book has also given me a deeper appreciation of President Obama.

Excellent advice, from a lady who knows.
I just love her advice.
And not us.
Idiot … and also very dangerous ….
So, they get a re-do Brexit vote?
yes, what I said earlier: PM May should have be open with the people the day she realized that she was going to lead the nation.
She should have told them that :
(a) she would not trigger the Article to initiate a countdown by the EU but would ask a pause in taking further action;
(b) Instead all the people of UK would have to participate in another referendum once a significant amount of time had elapsed and more debates had been heard about the pros and cons;
the wait would be worth it because the Brexit vote was :
(a) dominated by a campaign hate mongering that was tearing the UK apart,
(b) a decision that would have huge implications for the future of the nation and yet it was opposed by close to half of UK with potential for the numbers to rise
(c) one that required a buy-in from the people once the preliminary draft had been negotiated;
(d) followed by actions that revealed that the Brexit leaders knew how to lie, destroy and run away from the carnage but did not know how to build
So does this mean May (the Windrush & anti immigrants face of Britain) is out? Vote of no confidence for her govt. And that Brexit referendum is up for another people’s vote?

Surprise!
An anonymous op-ed out (probably another one from inside the WH) says that most federal workers should lose their jobs.
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/425377-Trump-shares-article-blasting-federal-workers-calling-for-long-shutdown
So let’s consider:
Predicated on a fake wall dispute, the real goal is to reduce the size and effectiveness of the federal government.
Trump is creating a situation where federal employees will want to quit. He’s making these jobs look less appealing, less secure.
Weakness, chaos, dysfunction, and internal instability all play into the hands of Putin and his mafia corporates.

This is excruciating and profane. Trump is a white punk who is enjoying every minute of this.
And its going to get more excruciating and profane.
Trump has ZERO boundaries and loves loves loves inflicting pain, especially when he perceives he is hurting POC and/or Democrats. So, yeah.
And his fucking stupid ass base thinks he’s the best thing since sliced bread, he’s fucking them every which way but they are too stupid to realize.
WORD. Dumbest humans on the planet.
Some of my coworkers aren’t even showing up for work anymore. At least I can say that the executive staff aren’t really pushing the issue, they are trying to keep the operation going as best they can.
Sorry Don. And don’t you think this could be a long game. Doing national security work on an empty stomach? Your coworker already struggling. Trump is devoid of feeling for others and imo we need words from Mueller now. Will see Rachel’s show much later on tonight,
am hoping for news. Seems Trump + minions are willing to starve blameless employees and their children in order to break up our Government. We need food pantries Everywhere. And protests. And inviting families over for dinner…what else? Please what can be done?
Federal unions suing Trump administration to get paid so far not much traction:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/01/15/essence-involuntary-servitude-federal-unions-sue-trump-administration-get-paid-shutdown-work/?noredirect=on
I think the first week of the shutdown I told a coworker that it should be over in a couple of days. Now I’m now so sure when the shutdown will end. We have no choice but to keep fighting.
Rachel and Lawrence covered the shutdown. Senator Tester talked about how many Americans live paycheck to paycheck including
our federal workers. To me it is just common sense that TSA employees forced to work without pay is not good for our national security. Tester is focused on McConnell actually doing his job = put the bills on the floor, get them on Trump’s desk and go through due process, do the job the Senate is there to do, and that Congress is there to do.
Some facts from Tester on the Senate floor Jan 9th: https://www.c-span.org/video/?456789-14/senator-tester-government-shutdown
His comments were right on. McConnell is holding this up for Trump. Congress could get people back to work.
I missed the hearings. Did any senator read our loud Individuals 1’s many attacks, insults and false accusations directed at justice department professionals and intelligence agency professionals and ask Barr how he FEELS about them? Are they APPROPRIATE statements from a high ranking U.S. Government Official??
No, but Lindsey Graham did say that the justice department and by extension the F.B.I needs to be cleaned up.
Double Eff! Is Lindsey on “vacuum” duty for himself or Turtle or GOP? Feel free to exchange all the “or” with “and”. 😏
Wow. From the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard:
Isn’t the United States Coast Guard a VITAL part of our nations border security? WTF!!!
No way trump knew they wouldn’t be getting paid, nor does he care. He also wouldn’t know that (although they normally used to be under the Transportation Department and are now under Homeland Security) during times of “war or conflict,” the U.S. Coast Guard is transferred under the U.S. Navy. I think the military are still getting paid, and if he OR ANYBODY WHO WORKS FOR HIM knew the regs, they could have administratively transferred them to the Navy in the short term of this “emergency,” assuring they’d get paid. I’M SO LIVID ABOUT ALL OF THIS, I COULD SPIT.
That’s a helluva statement to make to a service member.
Exactly. It’s clear as a bell and pretty amazing!
During the 2016 campaign Trump had trouble remembering that there was a US Coast Guard and he also, once he learned it existed, thought the country didn’t need it. Well, he never gets in a boat so I guess . . . . But we live in a Coast Guard City and are very proud of their service to all.

Low 60s sounds balmy to my ears. We’re about to have another snow storm this weekend so I’d give anything for temperature in the 60s!!
Shame on T Mobile. Shame on them
Is anyone surprised? Trump views the US government as a means to get richer.
People don’t/ won’t allow themselves to think it could ever happen here. To us. Yes it can and it is.
In plain sight ….

Not sure if this has even been mentioned in MSM.

Shaken. Jaysus, that was too close.
very sorry to learn about the close call your niece had. extremely glad that she is okay.
the event also made me consider the times I been in these types of hotels in Kenya and Uganda …. one never knows what is bound to happen
a lot of terror, many injuries and a significant loss of life resulted from this terrorist attack.
I have been following it online and other international media platforms.

Right wrist has a slight rise; left wrist no (my results). While the overall thesis is fun pseudo-science, I can see various haters trying to say that some are less evolved than others and less human = dehumanization= marginalization=abuse.
We are all a work in progress. Ignore haters.
She worked for this school previously for 12yrs. Only in a so-called “Christian” school this would happen.
Hello Pences:
The “I” represents Intersex. The current nomenclature for some human beings is LGBTQI.
Due to human biological variation, some babies are born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t fit socially constructed definitions of female or male. Baby may have atypical male and female genitals, or have the insides of one sex and outsides of another, or other. Parents are advised to let be, and allow their child to grow up and decide if and when he/she/they chooses to make any body changes.
Or not.
See: http://www.isna.org/faq/what_is_intersex
And Pences – it’s good to keep up.
There’s also the issue of identifying as male or female. One can look like the “usual” boy or girl – yet not identify as male or female.
See this cute little book: “A Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns” by Bongiovianni and Jimerson. Enjoy!

BWA HA HA HA HAH A HA HA HA AHH A
isn’t he the one who was “leading” (or very vocal) about not allowing Speaker Pelosi to regain her gavel????
The same one who failed to preventing Speaker Pelosi by hiding behind a woman.
And a Black woman at that (Mud) who was allowing the 5 white guys to use her as a front until someone had a come to Jesus moment with her.
Nancy SMASH Pelosi…..Speaker of House of Representatives…
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..snap 👏🏽
Great points:
TV SOU not now, nor ever was mandated by Constitution. In-person is a courtesy extended by the Speaker. For most of U.S. history it has been delivered in writing. Fab Pelosi says she will not invite Trump while he drags on his shutdown. Further, the SOU has never before been delivered during a shutdown. The russian cardboard cutout likes to do firsts…but not this time.
Speaker. Nancy. Pelosi …… !!!!
I love her!
Or, as her daughter said, “She’ll cut your head off and you won’t even know you’re bleeding.” #Love
Drip, drip, drip, drip…right before the flood!
With Speaker Pelosi telling trump that the SOTU Address be postponed or send it in a letter, she’s effectively taken away all of his oxygen. Pelosi has made trump react to her as opposed to him making her react, he doesn’t know what to do. Shortly I suspect a series of tweets from trump stating that he wasn’t interested in giving a SOTU Address anyway and that these addresses are a waste of time.
True statements …. and I have heard a smirk on my face since I heard (read) this “Time out …. Go to the corner” note from Speaker Pelosi
I wish the media would do the same. Just a couple of days without Trump standing outside the White House or even inside it prattling on and telling the same lies over and over again. The American people need a rest. Thank God Nancy Pelosi is saving us from a SOTU address on all the networks, chatted over for days and days. Give us some peace, Media, and stop implying that the shutdown is equally the fault of the Democrats and the Republicans. It belongs to the GOP, from Trump on down to the least GOP member of the House.
Please wait a bit.
“federal workers and contractors who are making tough choices about whether or not to look for other jobs, or stay in the federal government even if they are able to get back to work soon.” (think progress) Living paycheck to paycheck is a fkn nightmare in a shutdown.
–Getting government employees to resign and give up on their jobs and careers.
–THE PUTIN/KOCH STRATEGY TO SHRINK OUR GOVERNMENT IS EXACTLY THIS.
–Pls ask your friends, do not hesitate reach out for help and Hold On.
MEDIA PLEASE CONVEY THIS MESSAGE.
And the book truly deserves its place as the top seller. I am savoring it slowly. I’m a generation older than Michelle Obama and a white woman but the stories of her childhood resonate with my own. Her honesty and the depth of her recollections are just wonderful.
I can duplicate your comment, Beaglemom. I too am savoring it slowly, and am a white woman a generation older than FLOTUS. It is a wonderful book, and she is a wonderful woman. The book has also given me a deeper appreciation of President Obama.
New post.
