Trump’s version of his own campaign fits in with the rest of his false American meritocratic narrative: benefit from every unearned advantage imaginable, and pretend as though your success was due to your hard work. Now, by virtue of his job, the nation suffers the consequences.
So the president threatened armed conflict with our southern neighbor this morning and it will get no attention because everyone knows the president is crazy and no one follows his orders anyway. Seems healthy.
Just seeing this now. Wowzers! Didn’t even know that this happened. Just shows how crazy things are that these kinds of stories fall through the cracks and don’t get any attention.
Former president Barack Obama will be in Ottawa May 31 for an event hosted by think tank Canada 2020. … “President Obama is a generation-defining political leader, and an inspiration to millions around the world. Canada 2020 is thrilled to help spread his message of civic engagement, community leadership and tolerance.” …

TRUMP’S TWITTER PROBLEM? HE GAS LESS FOLLOWERS THAN OBAMA
Trump has just under 60 million Twitter followers. … Barack Obama has over 106 million. … The discrepancy is precisely the type of thing that would infuriate the current occupant of the White House and, according to the Daily Beast, it does. … https://rol.st/2ZthPLL
Last night on Don Lemon show – he showed a clip where a PP supporter was being interviewd because she had shared a FB post … and when the reporter asked her if she knew that, She said that she doesn’t follow Russian posts (something to that effect). How many of the ‘very fine ppl’ are tools of foreign powers?
Somebody give PP a Nobel prize for managing to fool half (ok, less than) a nation! That is quite a feat.
Can you just imagine how all of the “courageous, committed young leaders” mentioned in President Obama’s tweets will be even MORE INSPIRED to go forward in their lives, and do great things? What a role model he is. Love him.
Eugene Robinson:
“The constitutional case for impeaching President Trump was best made two decades ago by one of his most servile Republican enablers,
Lindsey O. Graham…“You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body [the Senate] determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role . . . because impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.”
The political case for moving deliberately but fearlessly toward impeachment is even clearer: If timorous Democrats do not seize and define this moment, Trump surely will.”
“First, the House of Representatives needs to pass articles of impeachment – a list of charges –by a majority vote. At that point the president has been impeached but he has not yet been removed from office: his case then goes to the Senate, which convenes itself as a court and hears evidence on both sides. Only if the Senate then votes to convict by a two-thirds majority does the president then have to leave office.” (https://www.historyextra.com/period/modern/history-impeachment-president-trump-nixon-clinton-explained/)
-Trump is a danger to the Republic, to liberty.
-History shows that regardless of outcome, the day-in day-out process and evidence roll-out exposure is extremely damaging.
Does the investigations end in the house when they call it an impeachment hearing? The problem I see if the house moves to impeachment right away is then it moves to McConnell in the senate. I don’t trust him to run the Senate hearing fairly.
President Clinton’s transgressions by comparison were less than nothing, even so it ended with Gore losing.
Putting the ‘mark of impeachment’ on Trump: Exposing him, getting after him day after day until the Election has its own proven rewards.
accusing the Obama Aministration of all kinds of nefarious things (not going to post it here)…
My first inclination was to be outraged at the lie…or to ask why isn’t Speaker Pelosi outraged…
despite all the things that Trump tweets and the media cosigns…many of the house members are holding Town Halls and meetings back home in their districts…taking care of business
besides my neighbors and coworkers…they are not into every tweet that comes out of the mouth of Trump…or Nancy for that matter…they are not what Pres Obama called Active Citizens….
sometimes things get thru the noise and the chatter….and America wakes up for a moment…
i do feel a bit dismayed at time…at the prospect of Dark Times coming to our country…that those on the margins would feel the impact first…as always…i do not want to sound like the purveyor of Doom…when i begin to feel the walls closing in…i think of Thurgood Marshall…and the NAACP Defense Fund…and how despite the ever present life threatening danger he was in…he persisted…and so i too must persist
hi Sheila, no not imagining it! The entire globe is under a cloud manufactured by power-mad (especially oil) far-right corporates including Putin, working to move us all towards Authoritarianism. For the United States, imo the first step in addressing this is to go after Trump/would-be Emperor without mercy = with hammer and tongs by every possible path and mechanism and remove him forthwith.
If Joe Biden enters the presidential race, John McCain‘s family will reportedly be among the first Republicans to endorse him. Sources said that Cindy and Meghan McCain will both endorse Biden at some point, as he seeks to take on Trump. https://t.co/zyKKeofrQd
Chinese-born American citizen Xinyue 'Daniel' Lou, a U.S.-based promoter for the Chinese Communist Party with ties to Cindy Yang, signed a contract last year with the RNC to become an official fundraiser for Trump's reelection, the Miami Herald reports. https://t.co/Tw6cwp5TnI
“If Attorney General Bill Barr had led his press conference last Thursday morning by saying,
“The Mueller report reveals that, among other things, on multiple occasions,
President Donald Trump ordered Corey Lewandowski and Don McGahn to obstruct justice,”
the House of Representatives would be planning Trump’s impeachment hearings, with probably even some Republicans in the House and the Senate putting out statements in support of the hearings.
Spoiler alert: The Mueller report revealed that Donald Trump (actually) gave those orders, along with no fewer than 11 other instances of the president attempting to obstruct justice.”

And yet another “Sorry, not sorry” BS story. Ahem! Let’s settle myself properly in my chair before I fall off laughing. Ahem! So, Nielson is busy trying to scrub the scum off her front & back with a ratty complicit loofah. Y’all, she’s now trying to say, “I tried to point out to my boss (iQ45) about these nefarious acts regarding protecting voters & Russian interference, but I was told to shut it.” (Paraphrasing here) Ahem! So the kids in cages, separation of families, total BS racist shit was that you had an iQ45 Smirnoff & KFC Bucket moment? M-kay! Your ratty loofah just went AWOL. 👀
Love the “total control” you used, but it was nevertheless easy to read between the lines of your description of her scummy BS actions and find your rage.
Extremely proper choice of words, if ya ask me. Ha!
WOW, Joe doesn’t linger on policy, just goes STRAIGHT FOR THE RACISM. Very different approach. And in order to counter it, the GOP will have to open that Charlottesville wound again. VERY SMART.
This makes me so happy. Now I can relax, enjoy all the reporting on the other candidates, campaign for VeepJoe and celebrate his and our 2020 victory for the RULE OF LAW and the values that have always made America great.
Like the Logo, the sentiment and the person, but hate the old time background scare music. Trump called him “Sleepy Joe” this morning. Does he have a photo of Joe nodding off at a meeting or something? The Biden campaign should go for comparing Joe enthusiastically running across parade routes shaking hands to Trump’s hard time getting away with Secret Service men or climbing a golf hill. That might answer the ageism potential smear. You might say how could Trump use that against Biden when he himself is old? My answer to that is when has Trump ever let projecting his own faults on others stop him?
I don’t think Joe should get caught up in responding to every idiotic thing Trump says. Joe is obviously fit and leads a pretty vigorous life. Trump sits in front of the TV all day and maintains a very unhealthy diet. And I think that’s pretty obvious to most people who are paying attention.
Glad you mentioned that. I agree, Meta. Bernie is older than Joe and Trump is close in age. A one time snappy answer that makes it obvious that age = experience and experience is a good thing might shut the question down. Give me Prez Biden along with VP Kamala Harris.

Joe Biden JUST announced he's running for President. And the amount he raises in the first 24 hours will be an indicator of how strong our campaign is. Can you chip in $5 to become a Founding Member and show everyone the strength of our movement?
One way is to click on the words “secure.actblue.com” which are at the left-hand bottom of this tweet you are responding to (the one he is walking with PBO). I hope this helps.
William Jeffress the lawyer who represented Nixon after he left the White House:
“The way the statute reads is if the president causes any harm to an individual in retaliation for his testimony, that’s a criminal offense
carrying a prison sentence of up to ten years. And, yes, I think if you caused the firing of a law firm that caused harm to the witness and you did that specifically with intent to retaliate against the witness’ testimony, that would unquestionably be a crime.”

We must fearlessly hold the Crime King and his made man Barr to account.
Hard to see how we save Democracy here (and around the world) from Putin and co-conspirators if we do otherwise.
Neal Katyal:
Who wrote the special counsel rules in the 1990’s was on ‘The Beat’ two days ago:
“And I think the most important thing for all Americans to understand is what Mueller actually said and on the first two pages of his report where he has two rules. Rule number one, I, Mueller can`t indict a sitting president and I won`t tar and feather a sitting president because I can`t indict him and he won`t have an opportunity to defend himself. And what that means he says, is that even if the president is guilty as sin, I`m not going to tell you. It`s not going to be in the report. That`s rule one.”
Katyal: “Number two is if the evidence shows that Trump did nothing wrong, I`ll exonerate him, I`ll clear him. And Mueller does not do that. So when we think about what are – what are the next steps, we have to understand the Mueller report in its context. And as you just said so helpfully for the last few minutes, the report actually when you look at the evidence on obstruction is devastating.”
Katyal: “I mean, Mueller points to example after example in which all the elements of obstruction of justice are met, criminal intent, an obstructive act, and a nexus to a proceeding. So when you`ll add all that together, I think I`m where the congresswoman was just a few minutes ago with you, Ari, which isTrump is going to have a day with destiny. There isn`t a way to avoid it. Congress is going to have
to do something.”
To be the fairest nation, we have to reform and reimagine our justice system. We're going to keep saying the names of people of color who were victims of state violence.

So angry about trump’s decision that I didn’t fully investigate the content of the story, but if I read the headlines right, this is appalling.
So, unlike our long-time history of NOT paying a ransom for hostages – which used to be a model for other countries – trump now paid a ransom? I am so glad Mr. Warmbier was brought home, but paying a ransom puts potential FUTURE hostages in great jeopardy and this is alarming.

BREAKING NEWS: A NYT article, echoing claims made on this feed, has stated correctly—for the first time—what the Mueller Report found: that by the standard used in counterintelligence cases, Trump's campaign conspired with Russia. Please RETWEET this news. https://t.co/nxxTTqwKRF
if the hearings that the HOUSE are conducting leads to a vote on IMPEACHMENT….it will go to the Senate…The Republicans in the Senate will NOT Impeach Trump….This will make Trump Stronger…and more Authoritative….and with Barr…as his strong man…what will happen…next…he will feel unleashed and out for revenge
Joe will have to earn it, but sometimes I can’t take this s**t!
@CNN@MSNBC and fellow Democrats – Stop mentioning Joe Biden's "gaffes." Call out his record in Congress, stance on issues, but FFS if he gets the nomination he'll be running against a demon with no functioning brainpower who can't read and is destroying our country! #PetPeeve

“Barr had the analysis backward. [F]ailure to prove an underlying crime does not mean there was no obstruction. The obstruction made it impossible to know whether there was a conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt — and impeded the Russia investigation.”https://t.co/j3yDJeEVCr
Folks keep saying that Congress needs to Impeach Trump….but they continue to only focus on the DEMS as if they are the only ones…the Senate is Controlled by Repbulicans headed by Mitch McConnell who has shown that POWER is more important than Democracy…it is not a simple deed here….no one is talking about what will happen when the Senate says NO…how emboldened TRUMP will become…what a dangerous place we will be…..are we ready for that…
I don’t see how the public airing of the entirety of Trump’s criminality could wind up being a strike against Democrats. We all know McConnell won’t take any action to harm Trump but that doesn’t mean We the People don’t deserve thorough answers. So I fail to see how a full and complete history of the truth for the record could hurt Dems even if the Senate fails to convict. For me, it cannot be a political decision.
Yes destroying Rule of Law is on the Bannon-Putin list = McConnell is their man.
Yes the Delay, Distract and Run Out The Clock strategy is in effect.
1) We must stay absolutely focused and stop him from being re-elected.
2) Whether he is impeached or not the process itself is highly corrosive, revealing to the public, extremely damaging.
3) Six more years of Trump and the America we knew is gone, gone, gone and not coming back.
4) Congress has until the end of this session to start Impeachment hearings.
I agree with 2nd point but not 1st. I never saw #Barr as an honest unbiased broker. His audition letter and confirmation hearings proved that to me. His "summary" and press conference, replete with lies, showed he was way worse than my original opinion. https://t.co/DSm3p9FpuL

So when we think about what are – what are the next steps, we have to understand the Mueller report in its context. And as you just said so helpfully for the last few minutes, the report actually when you look at the evidence on obstruction is devastating.”
Katyal: “I mean, Mueller points to example after example in which all the elements of obstruction of justice are met, criminal intent, an obstructive act, and a nexus to a proceeding. So when you`ll add all that together, I think I`m where the congresswoman was just a few minutes ago with you, Ari, which isTrump is going to have a day with destiny. There isn`t a way to avoid it. Congress is going to have
to do something.”
I love this photo
So do I. All the photos of them! I sent a donation. 🙂
There are three great pics of them together. ❤
Julian is a fierce speaker:
He’s making it so hard to choose……always thought he should run.
So angry about trump’s decision that I didn’t fully investigate the content of the story, but if I read the headlines right, this is appalling.
Words cannot register my disgust for this horrible clown.
Can iQ45 go the way of Evilline in The Wiz, but down a “proper” latrine? 😏😎
Michelle Obama will be at UCLA May 1st for a college signing event for high school. I wonder if she and Sasha might be checking out UCLA for Sasha to maybe attend UCLA..
Thread
but this is my fear…
if the hearings that the HOUSE are conducting leads to a vote on IMPEACHMENT….it will go to the Senate…The Republicans in the Senate will NOT Impeach Trump….This will make Trump Stronger…and more Authoritative….and with Barr…as his strong man…what will happen…next…he will feel unleashed and out for revenge
Joe will have to earn it, but sometimes I can’t take this s**t!
Goodnight TOD ….

Folks keep saying that Congress needs to Impeach Trump….but they continue to only focus on the DEMS as if they are the only ones…the Senate is Controlled by Repbulicans headed by Mitch McConnell who has shown that POWER is more important than Democracy…it is not a simple deed here….no one is talking about what will happen when the Senate says NO…how emboldened TRUMP will become…what a dangerous place we will be…..are we ready for that…
I don’t see how the public airing of the entirety of Trump’s criminality could wind up being a strike against Democrats. We all know McConnell won’t take any action to harm Trump but that doesn’t mean We the People don’t deserve thorough answers. So I fail to see how a full and complete history of the truth for the record could hurt Dems even if the Senate fails to convict. For me, it cannot be a political decision.
Yes destroying Rule of Law is on the Bannon-Putin list = McConnell is their man.
Yes the Delay, Distract and Run Out The Clock strategy is in effect.
1) We must stay absolutely focused and stop him from being re-elected.
2) Whether he is impeached or not the process itself is highly corrosive, revealing to the public, extremely damaging.
3) Six more years of Trump and the America we knew is gone, gone, gone and not coming back.
4) Congress has until the end of this session to start Impeachment hearings.
New post.

Just now:
Maria Butina sentenced to 18 months in prison for conspiring to act as an agent for the Russian government. She’s already served 9 months so that’s just another 9 months for her part in ruining our election.
