I’ll save you a click. The charges are all 40 years old & include driving without a license and underage drinking. They have nothing to do with how he was treated as an elder last week. But the ratio shows you that. This is pathetic. https://t.co/hG1GB6mkL1
Miss know it all savannah Guthrie my ex served in the navy during the Viet Nam conflict, stationed on Adak, Alaska, by orders from the US Navy, does not mean he would never be called up to go to Viet Nam. So to you I guess that means he had life easy since he wasn’t ordered to Viet Nam. Shame, shame, shame on you, your ignorance is disgusting.
My late husband was in the Air Force during the Vietnam Nam Years. He was stateside his entire five years in the military. I was with him except for two summers when he was in training. We were worried the entire time about him being deployed to Nam. We lucked out cuz the war was winding down and soldiers were being sent back at the time it was most likely for him to be sent over. It did not make my husband any less brave or a Veteran due to his status.
As a Native American I can say a large proportion of NAs serve in the military. My husband was not NA and I did not grow up on a reservation. I am proud to live on a reservation today and honor all that served in the military.
If you cannot acknowledge, recognize, respect our First Nations who continue to be marginalized, neglected, abducted, raped and disappeared with zero to no justice: Leave them the Hell alone. They don’t translate on your stupid TV Sinclair 3-ringed circus shows.
Stick to the liars and cheats who make your ca$$h for you. And Guthrie put your little white pointy teeth away.
…btw Paul Ryan also claimed to be Catholic while doing all he could to end food stamps. I think the Catholic right wing in America today is a threat, an ignorant burden and a stain on good society. I walked out of the church for good at 15 years while the priest lectured and railed against Unions. But whatever anyone else there thought about this doomed new priest, I did not doubt they’d go on looking for those
less fortunate.
Apparently AOC does not think that her constituents like ICE and the bill included funding for it. Someone should explain to AOC that there’s no way ICE is going to be completely eliminated. Serious reform is needed, certainly, but it’s not going to go away completely.
Someone also needs to explain to AOC that there are bigger issues and bigger concerns than those of her immediate constituents. Legislators have to explain these things to the people who voted for them. I’m sure they find that most people are reasonable and understand the reality of larger concerns. AOC is very impressive but she’s extremely young and inexperienced. She would do herself, her constituents and the Democrats a big favor if she cut down on the social media and on talking to every reporter in sight and listened a little more to Democratic colleagues with a lot more experience. She’ll find that they care about the American people as much as she does but have learned how to handle the ins and outs of legislation, especially in a toxic environment like the current administration.
The executive branch of our government is run by imbeciles. I cannot imagine two less worthy individuals to lead talks to end the shutdown than Pence and Little Jared. Neither one cares at all about 1) the federal government, 2) the United States of America, or 3) the plight of 800,000 or so families. They’re rich so what do they care?

Absolutely NOTHING Democratic about a bipartisan bill with a 52-44 margin being deemed insufficient to pass especially when it would relieve the suffering of MILLIONS of Americans & protect our NATIONAL SECURITY.

Congratulations to Sen. Bennet! I feel for the Democrats in Congress now. I cannot imagine how they can behave with even marginal civility when faced with the Republican/Putin opposition. At this point in time, the Republicans in office want to destroy the country, bring it to a shambles. I cannot imagine why.
Republicans think they’re slick. They want to get Cohen to testify in the Senate behind closed door so that they can find out what he knows before (and if) he testifies in public in the House. This would allow Trump to blunt the impact. Sneaky, but I have your number… https://t.co/H6GE20DRXD

Not only is this unconstitutional, but it would also reportedly pull billions from military construction that would negatively impact readiness, and crucial DOD civil works projects.

Julie Pace (@jpaceDC) is the DC Bureau Chief responsible for all of AP's reporting on the government. The AP coverage took an utter nosedive into bullshittery when she came on board in that role in mid 2017.
republicans’ support and votes on the shutdown demonstrate that those who hope that republicans can vote to impeach Individual 1 are probably hoping for too much —– too many evil corrupt treasonous cowards in the bunch
once again, I can’t help laughing at the irony of the republicans’ celebration of attacking and voting out the moderate Democratic senator last year.
it is this action that enabled the senate Democrats (minus manchin) to have a unified voice … otherwise, the media hype would now be on what “what will the ‘VULNERABLE’ Democrats from red states do???”

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Will you follow your own words and get interviewed by the FBI? You don't even need to take a oath. Just do the interview like everyone else.

Yep, Mueller usually allows you and your lawyer to walk into F.B.I headquarters and surrender. But this guy, Mueller told the F.B.I to go pick this guy up.
You want to know why law the F.B.I arrest people on Friday as opposed to any other day? They do it to give you the weekend to think about things, and by Monday morning you’ve either decided to play ball or not play ball.

Dayum! That was awesome!!! When Mueller gets done with your trifling ass, he sends the hounds to corner and drag your ass out. 12 armed up agents in a pre-dawn raid. No more polite come in on your own dressed in a suit with your lawyer in tow. I hope they took him out in his pajamas. Let’s see how arrogant he is now. This video is gold and I hope it plays everywhere.

Remember the day a Trump official texted Stone "well done" for Wikileaks' dump of Clinton emails, that was hours after the Access Hollywood tape released. Was Wikileaks dump coordinated to cover-up embarrassing tape?
traitor-in-chief, aka Individual 1, has inflicted a lot of pain on so many people during his life.

I think RS will have a cell next to Manafort. If he won’t talk maybe his trail of emails, tapes and others will be all Mueller will need to send his ass to jail. Your not a rat? then live with them in a prison cell.
White House @PressSec Sarah Sanders, when asked if the President directed someone to have Roger Stone reach out to Wikileaks, answers: “I’m not an attorney”

Roger Stone arrested & Indicted, BOOM! Just heard the NY Madame friends with Roger Stone was served a warrant to search her place. BOOM! McTurtle told this shut down is your fault, BOOM! I hope more crap comes out about Russian involvement before the SOTU that the WH occupant won’t want to have one.
CNN’s @SaraMurray just confirmed this and that the FBI called Kristin Davis who shares this duplex with Stone to let her know they’d be searching the apartment. Murray says the FBI did this because Davis has a young child. She told authorities that she moved a week ago. https://t.co/2q9ryoiLtv

G’Morning, TODville Community.
Woke up to this news, Woo Hooo!
O. M. G
roger stone has made public statements about how strong he is when he came against federal law enforcement ….. well, we are about to find out
Morning everyone
Arrested by FBI agents who have been working almost a month without pay. Let that sit for awhile and think of the irony and cosmic nature of it all.
Roger Stone wasn’t just arrested this morning, oh no. Roger Stone was dragged out of his house pre-dawn by the F.B.I.
NICE!! Mueller is taking them down one by one.
Yep, Mueller usually allows you and your lawyer to walk into F.B.I headquarters and surrender. But this guy, Mueller told the F.B.I to go pick this guy up.
You want to know why law the F.B.I arrest people on Friday as opposed to any other day? They do it to give you the weekend to think about things, and by Monday morning you’ve either decided to play ball or not play ball.
Well what do you know, Michael Cohen was decided to comply with the house issued subpoena and testify after all.
How did the news crew know ahead of time? That’s weird
A Tip would be my educated guess.
Those @FBI agents, none of them is getting paid.
Confirmed…..it was a tip-off
Dayum! That was awesome!!! When Mueller gets done with your trifling ass, he sends the hounds to corner and drag your ass out. 12 armed up agents in a pre-dawn raid. No more polite come in on your own dressed in a suit with your lawyer in tow. I hope they took him out in his pajamas. Let’s see how arrogant he is now.
