one of the wildest things abt white supremacy is how white people's feelings abt racism are always the terrain being contested and always presented as The Stakes.https://t.co/CdmC0pNaA8
Look. At. His. Face. He went from smug racist to thrilled racist. The sheer scope of privilege afforded white boys and men is astonishing. https://t.co/VdKlPXIMuI
That is absolutely disgusting. So, of course, they’re turning the MAGA thugs into the victims instead of talking with Nathan Phillips who was the victim of bigotry and bullying. How about respecting your elders? How about respecting the Indigenous peoples? How about turning the other cheek if you are being taunted by Black Israelites instead of trading barbs with them?
I bet that Guthrie is going to ask this jerk a few softball questions and not challenge his conduct. This is truly outrageous.
JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCHOOL’S RALLIES..ETC…SPEAKS VOLUMES..SHAME ON THESE PARENTS WHO HAVE DONE NOTHING TO DISCIPLINE THESE CHILDREN BUT GIVE THEM RED HATS AND TRUMPIAN BULLHORNS!
One good thing (minor) is that Chris Cuomo totally apologized via twitter for his crap choices this week, without the usual walk-back. Hope he learned something.
A second good thing I spotted tonight (also minor) is the chyron at the bottom of the screen on Anderson Cooper’s show, which read:
SHUT-SHOW, Day 32
I plan to borrow that one.
Other than that, we must keep speaking up and not allowing these fools to get away with repeating the birtherism stuff; or giving that racistly-harvested kid a break (turns out the WH Counsel went to the same high school – no wonder trump invited “the boys” to the WH), or all the other barbaric, non-human stuff that’s being spewed before us every damn day.
Also, tomorrow is Indivisible National Call Day. Just a reminder, for those of us interested, to call our Senators and Congressional Rep to “end the shutdown – with no wall funding.” Luckily, all three of mine are Democrats, but I’ll be calling them.
All cleaned up, that non threatening white bread look. Should he not be wearing his MAGA hat?
So will the Today show have Nathan Phillips on their show too?
Sandmann get smarted up. How many federally recognized tribes are there in the U.S.A.?
Pope Francis apologized in 2015 for the “grave sins” of colonialism against Indigenous Peoples of America.

PLEASE donate to the @FoodDepository And let those who are government workers/ been impacted by the shutdown know that they’re delivering boxes to government workers impacted by the #TrumpShutdownhttps://t.co/soT5buSM7a
YOU & @CNN most definitely needed to apologize not just to Senator @KamalaHarris but to everyone for providing even a scintilla of recognition of #JacobWohl other than to indicate he is a treacherous, hate-filled, racist grifter. #BabyHitler deserves nothing but derision.

Nights like this, I sit and listen to Sam Cooke’s “A change Is Gonna Come” over and over. I listen to it because it rejuvenates me and it gives me strength to keep on keeping on.
Support of what? Intimidating a veteran in prayer? Loud and obnoxious disrespecting of national monuments? Violent catcalling women? Chaperones who looked the other way? MAGA merchandise? https://t.co/7CMKO1pGmg
What she’s saying is the absolute truth – but do you think the media will cover it? Do you think Kamala Harris’ statement will make the front page of the NYT or the Washington Post or any other major newspaper? That’s the problem. Only those of us paying very close attention ever hear the truth.
Pretty sure we can start calling the 22 Republicans that voted AGAINST withdrawing from NATO the #TreasonCaucus. Please feel free to make it trend. https://t.co/Mg2XtOaQJc

What was the news value of covering a New York real estate developer and reality television personality saying the first African American President was born in Africa? Has anyone credibly answered that question? And here we are….

Comrade Trump circling the drain, thinking he could mess with your ability to maintain your household and it would really make him a hero. Ignorance + arrogance = toxic. https://t.co/sOQphgRAyx
Saudia Shuler, the owner of Country Cookin in Philadelphia, bought and distributed groceries to government employees who can't afford to buy them right now due to the government shutdown.
Trump could have gotten his wall anytime in the past two years when his party controlled all three branches.
His decision to shut down the government on the cusp of Mueller’s report and barrage of House subpoenas is proof the #TrumpShutdown has nothing to do with the wall.
Tim Kaine: "Democrats are not for the shutdown. Who said he would shut down the government? The president. Who said he would be proud of it? The president … Democrats are tying to get a vote to reopen government. Who's blocking it? The Republican Senate Majority Leader." @MSNBC
@CNN Alisyn sounds like a church lady to Rep Jeffries it’s really not a good look. White lady is so uncomfortable with him saying Trump is racist and pressing Hakeem on his choice of words (wizard!) is pretty tone deaf and it’s embarrassing to watch her. Trump is a racist.
Gavin Newsom has proposed transferring control of the state’s Juvenile Justice Division from corrections officials to government health and human services providers. He believes the move would help divert young people from a path to prison https://t.co/QpdKY0EpIY
“You see the toll that the shutdown is having on everybody…” @JoaquinCastrotx serves federal workers hot meals at @WCKitchen on day 32 of the shutdown.
Call both of your senators. Doesn’t matter what party they belong to. Call them every day until the govt. is opened. Let them know that not ONE CENT can go to that wall!!!! My tax dollars need to be put to good use! Like funding the Federal workers that keep us safe! We need to connect the fact that these workers, these AMERICANS, are THE GOVT! If they are working well and getting paid, we are safer and stronger for it! As a nation. Without them, without the govt. workers, we are in danger from all angles, and those that would do us harm, know this. GET THEM BACK TO WORK NOW!
All this blarb and blubbery about “wall security”.
Meanwhile Dicktraitor has opened us up to ALL kinds of attack and security problems by shutting down the government.
We want the government opened clean = NO strings.
Or next thing you know he’ll be shutting it down indefinitely because Putin wants U.S. sanctions lifted on Siberian oil fields.
I read last week that Putin was involved in picking Trump’s cabinet. For example, he didn’t want Romney as Secretary of State. Of course
Putin wanted his Exxon buddy Tillerson. And he got him installed. Tillerson is the Exxon boss who covered up fossil fuels and global warming starting in the mid-1970’s…so now the Siberian Arctic is melting. And I believe the entire gaggle of Putin sycophants are invested in Siberian Oil.
The Kremlin is overjoyed with the disaster Trump is creating while Trump and his criminal cronies are benefiting from it. Trump doesn’t give a shit about a wall. This was never about a wall. And for everyone who wasted our brain cells discussing fence vs wall I hope they learned
I don’t think that Little Jared is up to tackling the US Congress, especially the House. He’s messed up every project he’s been given since Trump became president. I think it’s long past time for Jared and Ivanka to move back to NYC. Oh, and they should take their bevy of Chinese nannies with them. Do the Chinese nannies all have green cards?
Moscow Trump Tower was to be built by local contractor Rozov:
“ACCORDING TO A FINALIZED LETTER OF INTENT signed by Donald Trump on Oct. 28, 2015, the tower would have “approximately 250 first class, luxury residential condominiums.” It would be located in Moscow City, a former industrial complex outside of the city center that has since been converted into an ambitious commercial district clustered with several of the tallest skyscrapers in Europe.Its hotel portion would feature “approximately 15 floors” and contain “not fewer than 150 hotel rooms,” the letter of intent stated. The building would feature a luxury spa and fitness center, a commercial component “consistent with the overall luxury level of the Property,” and an office space “consistent with Class A luxury office properties,” as well as “luxury” parking.”
-And a Putin penthouse atop. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/azeenghorayshi/here-are-the-trump-moscow-plans
Oh man. This is ‘impossible ‘!!! He said a zillion times that he had no deals in Russia! Fucking lying fraud. The only wall he needs to see is the one in the penitentiary
Manafort update! The docket indicates Manafort's sealed filling is in and the judge has ordered his lawyers to file a redacted version publicly. Manafort is set to dispute allegations by Mueller's team that he lied repeatedly to them about contacts with the administration et al
I am so glad to hear they will dig into this particular farce:
In a letter to WH Counsel, @RepCummings lays out security clearance violation by the WH & commences oversight proceedings. Each individual violation is egregious, but as a group, it’s clear the practice in Trump’s transition & WH was to ignore serious national security concerns. pic.twitter.com/6IqYlsQYBi
Iowa's "fetal heartbeat" law — the most restrictive abortion limit in the country — violates Iowa Constitution and may not be enforced, a state judge has ruled. https://t.co/n62MAFjNbf
But he was a “fixer” for trump for years and all of a sudden he’s backing out of testifying. The guy walked around New York city smoking cigars and smiling for the cameras with his associates AFTER he’s indicted, but now he’s not testifying. This isn’t about safety, this is about something else, Cohen has always known the score and he knows how this shit works.
That was my very first thought, too, meta. And I’m pretty sure she knows it and is frightened to death. They don’t want the spotlights on them, if she’s killed while imprisoned. But if a tree falls on her, on a city street, they’re “in for the kill.” Sad to even think about.
Trump has ZERO respect for the legislative branch of govt. By insisting on BILLIONS of dollars without any concrete data-driven justification, no actual plan, no impact studies OR floor debate, he's convinced he can circumvent regular order and just win. MSM also buys into this.
Please, someone, anyone: HOW can she stop this?!?!?! This is making me want to scream and throw something! Can she stop him? Please, talk me down. He cannot be allowed to do this. HELP!
On another note: I’ve called my senator’s offices twice today. Once this morning and after learning three more things (one from here), I called back few minutes ago. Also called my reps office because he was one of the 22 R’s that sided with 45 about withdrawing from NATO. I flat out said that is borderline, if not full, treasonous. OH, he’s also the rep that began his time in DC by appearing on Russian TV. Lord help us!
Speaker of the House, Controls EVERYTHING in the House Representative Chambers. She controls who gets in, the cameras, the lighting, EVERYTHING! The Sargent of Arms will block him from getting inside, NO camera’s will be allowed, NO sound will be allowed, if he tries to enter I pray she arrests his ass for treaspassing and I hope he brings Pence with him so Nancy will be President while the two criminals are in prison.
You know, in all this furor it would surprise me if at this point Idiot-45 has even (had) written the web of lies that he seems so gung-ho to share. This *admin* doesn’t generally plan ahead so while arguing for a SOTU I bet they’ve forgotten to research and prepare so they’d have something meanngful to share.
They claim they’re writing two versions of the SOTU – one if it’s in the chamber, and one if it isn’t. (I’m guessing that just covers the Intro, in line with what you intimated.)
That is, if they remember what day of the week it is. There’s so much chaos going on there, who knows. Ugh.
Pelosi shuts down Trump: "The House of Representatives will not consider a concurrent resolution authorizing the President's State of the Union address in the House Chamber until government has opened." https://t.co/TCN8JWMIsn
Optics, you say? Do they mean like TT meetings? Or Russians laughing it up in the Oval Office? Or not releasing tax returns? Or sucking up to dictators? Or siding with Putin over the US in front of the entire world??? THOSE FUCKING OPTICS!!!!????
What has to be bothering Trump the most about the SOTU showdown is not the schedule or the location. It's the fact that a woman is not only claiming to be his equal but proving she is.
The Obama Diary 
That is absolutely disgusting. So, of course, they’re turning the MAGA thugs into the victims instead of talking with Nathan Phillips who was the victim of bigotry and bullying. How about respecting your elders? How about respecting the Indigenous peoples? How about turning the other cheek if you are being taunted by Black Israelites instead of trading barbs with them?

Thank you, Nerdy, for calling them out. This is horrible and sickening.
Savannah Guthrie was trash all through Obama’s tenure and continues to be so.
I am not watching one second of this bullshit.
Me, neither.
One good thing (minor) is that Chris Cuomo totally apologized via twitter for his crap choices this week, without the usual walk-back. Hope he learned something.

Good for her! Unfortunately, that’s the best news of the day. What would this country do if creepy Paul Ryan were still Speaker of the House?
those who did not yet know about Speaker NDP should have listened very carefully to what one of her daughters said;
…… she tried to warn the scumbags;
…. but they did not listen;
…. now they will keep paying for their evil corrupt ideas and actions;
…. and I just keep smiling;
… what else is a member of Team Pelosi expected to do but smile???? … #SatisfiedCustomer aka #SatisifiedVoter

I bet you a video of Bernie Sanders listening to Public Enemy is going to “mysteriously” pop up somewhere.
Bwahahaha!
You see, Kamala knows joy. Kamala works hard AND she likes to have a good time. Kamala likes to smile and laugh.
I’m sorry but I don’t think Warren or Kirsten Gillibrand can flow like this, LOL.

Goodnight, TODville – and all the ships at sea!

That is bad and can only get worse as the negative impact of Trump’s shutdown continues to reverberate and grow.
You know what day it is! 🐪🐫🐪

Which was my point with my little mini rant. He is making us much less safe
oh df yes of course. I meant that Trump is barfing and blubbering about wall security. Not thee.
😎 It’s all connected and people need to wake up. Now! There is no ‘do over’
I read last week that Putin was involved in picking Trump’s cabinet. For example, he didn’t want Romney as Secretary of State. Of course

MSM is schlepping along with Trump-Russia, why?
MSM only ever has one motivation: MONEY. It’s not about news or honest reporting per se. It’s about the circus and rewarding the carnival barkers.
America is bleeding…#WeThePeople…must find a way to stop the bleeding …or we will die!
Not that Nancy needs my advice.
Please, someone, anyone: HOW can she stop this?!?!?! This is making me want to scream and throw something! Can she stop him? Please, talk me down. He cannot be allowed to do this. HELP!
