Donald Trump is doing king stuff. He is investigating the investigators, his Justice Department is setting the First Amendment aflame, and we might be prepping for war in Iran. The authoritarian flirtation is over. But everyone calm down, right? My latest. https://t.co/6wj0gNeeBs
For those who have read Timothy Synder or otherwise know of how an obscure minor oligarch became President of Russia, watching Speaker Pelosi not move with alacrity to Impeach Trump, is agonizing.
He is on a path to ensuring, one way or another, he will be America’s first dictator and that is so far from hyperbole as to be boring – for those paying attention.
If you think this dude won't pull a Putin-a-la-1999 & declare a Nat'l Emergency or otherwise compromise the 2020 Election, you aren't paying attention.
I watched every step of #Watergate unfold at 3032 O St, Georgetown, DC.
I watched from an especially unique vantage beginning with being in the Pentagon Office that held the confiscated contents of the Rand Safe the day after #Ellsberg published.
Given his coordination during the past few days with #AGBarr to amplify his attacks on US institutions & specific leaders of those instituions, do you consider it now likely that Trump is going to do whatever he possibly can to destroy the validity of the 2020 Election?
Impeachment advocates worried all along that the Democrats’ dithering and self-doubt would create a number of perverse consequences: that the public would interpret their irresolution as a sign that Trump’s presidency is not a crisis; that Trump himself would fill the void of inaction with propaganda and defamation and selective prosecution, exacerbating public confusion, when the truth is actually quite simple. These fears are all rapidly materializing, and the fact that the Democratic approach is failing has yet to dawn on anyone who has the power to change course.
Former DNI James Clapper makes it clear that Trump would not have won without Russia’s help.
“When Donald Trump produced the first list of names for his death list this week, he didn’t include that of former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. But Clapper appears to be out to remedy this oversight by pointing out the fact that the Trump campaign didn’t just cooperate with Russia—it’s extremely unlikely Trump would have been elected without Russian support.
As Newsweek reports, Clapper’s just-released memoirs don’t shy away from drawing the obvious conclusion about the impact of the Russian interference and the benefits to Trump.
As Clapper writes, “Surprising even themselves, [Russia] swung the election to a Trump win. To conclude otherwise stretches logic, common sense and credulity to the breaking point. Less than eighty thousand votes in three key states swung the election. I have no doubt that more votes than that were influenced by this massive effort by the Russians.” https://theobamadiary.com/2019/05/25/presidential-touchdown/
“Not only did the intelligence community have the information they needed to see that Russian interference was more than sufficient to cover Trump’s narrow margin of electoral victory—Trump knows it. Because the information Clapper is referencing was included in the first presentation that the intelligence community gave to Trump in January 2017.”

Holy shit. I’ve (we’ve) been thinking about this whole mess the wrong way!! The OPPOSITE way! It’s not that trump tried and didn’t get his Moscow Tower…. it’s that Putin helped him get elected, and if and only if, he carried out all of Putin’s wish list for the US/ world destabilizing, then and only then would he get his trump tower!!! After the US had been thrown into total chaos, after the world order had been turned on its head….after oligarchs had plundered more and the balance here had shifted, would he get his tower. Who sees this with me??
Oh my goodness! You may be onto something. There’s been so many times over the last 2+ years that I have been scared, but I am now on the edge of that cliff with fear that our democracy/republic will survive. If ‘something’ ?????? doesn’t happen soon, I think we are ‘down the drain’ as the America we have been able to keep alive for 244 years. Reading that article on Hitler only added to that fear because it truly is a mirror to 45 and hat is happening here. I think of how many times I have heard people say, “Oh, it will never happen in America.” Yeah, right?! It IS happening every.single.day., sometimes by the hour.
Thankful for this corner of ‘togetherness’ with like-minded people. We are a family and I care deeply for all of you. 🙂 Thank you, NW and Chips, we love you and miss you every day!
I fear that I may be onto something. Have no idea who I tell it to to make them listen. Grateful beyond words to have this place. Hope that all is well with you and family, tnmtngirl:)
Actually, not the best. Dave fell yesterday as he was trying to ‘rock hop’ across a creek in the Smokies. He was hiking alone which he seldom does. Had to walk back 8 miles to a campground. Went into the office and asked for some first aid. Young woman tried to clean his arm a bit, but realized quickly she needed to call the Rangers. They arrived and said, “Call EMT’s.” Trip from back in the Smokies through Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge on Memorial Day weekend—EEK! They used sirens and lights and still took awhile!!!! Finally to ER. One broken rib and a big hematoma on his right arm. ****He is on Plavix so bleeding is a huge concern. So grateful it’s only one rib. The whole things could have been much worse. He has a hiker friend (from FL) who owns a cabin in the area so I called her when I left here. She was at the hospital in 20 minutes. Stayed with us until he was almost ready to be discharged. She took his keys and she and her husband went to the campground to get his car and have it at their cabin. We will go get it tomorrow morning. This afternoon, we are going to northeast TN for a surprise 90th bday party for his brother-in-law. Am taking the fresh bandage supplies so his great niece, a RN, can look at his arm, then re-bandage it. He is asleep on the sofa now with ice on ribs. Hasn’t complained w/pain this morning and no Tylenol yet. Always something with this hiker hubby!!!
If in doubt,
Remember this:
“[W]hen Sessions told the president that a Special Counsel had been appointed, the President slumped back in his chair and said, “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fucked.”
Trump: “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fucked.”
Trump: “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fucked.”
Trump: “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fucked.”

I don’t understand Mueller, maybe he isn’t all that people make him out to be, Here’s why I said that. First he should had told Trump he need to talk to him face to face. This giving him questions to answer was stupid. Now he don’t want to testify in public, he ought to be ready to go public after what Barr done concerning that Mueller report..
Elected officials keep making casual, ignorant, idiotic accusations of “treason.” Trump does it. Just saw Liz Cheney do it. Read the Constitution and knock it the hell off.
Kim Jong Un, Trump's hero, reportedly has more than 50,000 Christians in concentration camps, which is something to keep in mind the next time a Republican gets upset by you saying "Happy Holidays."
The U.S. earlier this month accused China of detaining one million (possibly 3 million) Muslims subject to massive human rights violations

“”Trump blamed immigrants for German crime, but the far right is still responsible. Felix Klein, Germany’s commissioner on anti-Semitism…blamed “the lifting of inhibitions and the uncouthness which is on the rise in society” for the rise in anti-Semitism.”
Klein’s comments were made in response to new crime data that showed continued growth in anti-Semitic criminal acts, with the vast majority of perpetrators being members of the German far-right, and not new immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries — a common scapegoat. Germany’s national crime rate has actually fallen, dropping last year to the lowest level since 1992.”” https://thinkprogress.org/jews-germany-kippahs-anti-semitism-trump-blame-migrants-german-crime-european-parliament-a4a8f114116d/

Friends, I hope you will delete this tweet as it misleading. Clear gains for the Greens and Liberals (a centrist party) and no clear gains for the far right. You can do better.
how about organizing millions of Americans to liberate the #CagedChidren from #TrumpsConcentratonCamps before more of them die or become incurable PTSD victims.
If millions of Americans march on those camps the children can be liberated and nurtured and returned to their parents. It is a National Crime every single second those children are caged and denied their parents.
Dear Bob, I am your #1 fan from now on.
This Administration is all about the cruelty and how much we are willing to look away from, and in so doing share in their crimes.
Do we have genuine information? How many are missing, displaced, shipped across the country, escaped from temporary home, trafficked,
hungry, badly nourished, sick, pregnant, drugged, victimized, lacking friendship or nurturing, in solitary, without educational materials, suicidal or dead? How many have medical problems as yet undiagnosed or treated (as happened recently) until it is too late? How many are pre-verbal, without love and entirely without protections? When will Trump and his enabler$$ pay for what they have done?

Over and over, the President has sided with murderous tyrants over the people he sees as his political enemies: Democrats, journalists, intelligence officials, law enforcement, and others. He’s betrayed his oath, he’s betrayed his country, and he should be removed from office.
As a retired federal employee after 30 years of working UNDER AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH the Hatch Act, as my co-workers were, I find this totally despicable, too.

This Memorial Day, Trump is claiming credit for passing the Veterans Choice program, which allows vets to seek care from a private, non-VA health provider at taxpayer expense.
Guardian: “Support for pro-remain parties eclipsed pro-leave parties, despite the Brexit party’s overall victory
Lying “Nigel Farage’s Brexit party may have triumphed in the European election by a significant margin, but there is enough data for remain supporters to argue that their side was victorious on the night – and that they could win any second referendum.” https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/may/27/remain-hard-brexit-what-uk-european-election-results-tell-us
Bolllocks to Brexit:
“There are several ways to make plausible comparisons.
The simplest is to compare the Brexit party’s 5.2m votes across Great Britain (Northern Ireland is not due to declare until Tuesday) with the “Bollocks to Brexit” Lib Dems and the pro-remain Greens, who attracted 3.4m and 2m. Taken together, they come out 132,000 votes higher at 5.4m.
A second method is to take all the pro-Brexit parties – Farage’s party and Ukip – and compare that against the pro-remain parties, taking in Change UK and the Scottish and Welsh nationalists. That gives you 5.8 million voting unambiguously pro-Brexit – or 34.9% – and 6.7 million voting for remain parties, including 753,000 from the Scottish and Welsh nationalists, or 40.4%.”
As in the U.S. where the will of the people is clear on guns, health care, comprehensive immigration, equal rights, etc:
The British have marched and petitioned for a new referendum that they’d very likely win. Evidence shows that most want to Remain. But the overlords (oil oligarchs and big money players) in both countries repeatedly and brazenly block action on legislation.

It’s not that trump tried and didn’t get his Moscow Tower…. it’s that Putin helped him get elected, and if and only if, he carried out all of Putin’s wish list for the US/ world destabilizing, then and only then would he get his trump tower!!! After the US had been thrown into total chaos, after the world order had been turned on its head….after oligarchs had plundered more and the balance here had shifted, would he get his tower. Who sees this with me??
Oh my goodness! You may be onto something. There’s been so many times over the last 2+ years that I have been scared, but I am now on the edge of that cliff with fear that our democracy/republic will survive. If ‘something’ ?????? doesn’t happen soon, I think we are ‘down the drain’ as the America we have been able to keep alive for 244 years. Reading that article on Hitler only added to that fear because it truly is a mirror to 45 and hat is happening here. I think of how many times I have heard people say, “Oh, it will never happen in America.” Yeah, right?! It IS happening every.single.day., sometimes by the hour.
Thankful for this corner of ‘togetherness’ with like-minded people. We are a family and I care deeply for all of you. 🙂 Thank you, NW and Chips, we love you and miss you every day!
I fear that I may be onto something. Have no idea who I tell it to to make them listen. Grateful beyond words to have this place. Hope that all is well with you and family, tnmtngirl:)
Actually, not the best. Dave fell yesterday as he was trying to ‘rock hop’ across a creek in the Smokies. He was hiking alone which he seldom does. Had to walk back 8 miles to a campground. Went into the office and asked for some first aid. Young woman tried to clean his arm a bit, but realized quickly she needed to call the Rangers. They arrived and said, “Call EMT’s.” Trip from back in the Smokies through Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge on Memorial Day weekend—EEK! They used sirens and lights and still took awhile!!!! Finally to ER. One broken rib and a big hematoma on his right arm. ****He is on Plavix so bleeding is a huge concern. So grateful it’s only one rib. The whole things could have been much worse. He has a hiker friend (from FL) who owns a cabin in the area so I called her when I left here. She was at the hospital in 20 minutes. Stayed with us until he was almost ready to be discharged. She took his keys and she and her husband went to the campground to get his car and have it at their cabin. We will go get it tomorrow morning. This afternoon, we are going to northeast TN for a surprise 90th bday party for his brother-in-law. Am taking the fresh bandage supplies so his great niece, a RN, can look at his arm, then re-bandage it. He is asleep on the sofa now with ice on ribs. Hasn’t complained w/pain this morning and no Tylenol yet. Always something with this hiker hubby!!!
Good grief, my dear!! Can’t keep a good hiker down:) Hope he’s feeling better soon… next time I might insist on hiking with a friend.. or 2!
Tnmtngirl, I’m so sorry about Dave. Hope and pray he feels better soon.
So sorry, very scarey tnmt. Hope youse can get some sleep tonight. All my best.

If in doubt,
Remember this:
“[W]hen Sessions told the president that a Special Counsel had been appointed, the President slumped back in his chair and said, “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fucked.”
-from the Mueller Report .
-what more?
Trump: “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fucked.”
Trump: “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fucked.”
Trump: “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fucked.”
-imo last chance or game over….wake up!
-The CIA and our Intelligence forces MUST SAY NO.
-NOW.
Seriously! Balls to the wall! Used to OUR advantage!

@Kris_Sacrebleu I agree. And I’m starting a group where we call for the intel agencies of Australia, Canada, France, Germany, UK, and the Dutch to help us win back the White House. Steal emails, rig vote tabulating machines…the WORKS.
It’s a ufcking free for all now so.

df/marleysperson, Don’t miss my reply to you. Update on Dave.

Lordy, I hope the Dems running for POTUS point this out every damn day
“CRAZY” Facts Do Matter (@WilDonnelly) Tweeted:
Trump, the corporate socialist, is set to provide more govt welfare to farmers, including huge conglomerates and foreigners. Big government are issuing these subsidies to compensate for the incompetence of the administration’s trade and tariff policy.

Putin, Trump, and enablers want to commandeer our Intelligence Forces. This leads to (…fill in blank).
The pace of the take-down of American democracy, rule of law, and national security is being tailored to our non-reaction.
Congress must go on the OFFENSIVE and by whatever means commandeer the information and documents being concealed by Trump.
And fast or (…fill in blank).
In other words, the Republicans mantra:

This is why Mr. Mueller has to testify in person on your television:
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/445577-trumps-declassification-order-helps-barr-to-uncover-the-truth
I don’t understand Mueller, maybe he isn’t all that people make him out to be, Here’s why I said that. First he should had told Trump he need to talk to him face to face. This giving him questions to answer was stupid. Now he don’t want to testify in public, he ought to be ready to go public after what Barr done concerning that Mueller report..

YES!!!
Fabulous. ok well either Trumpsky or this cough is going go be death of me. So guess will have to take off! eh to Turronna. Last wish.
The U.S. earlier this month accused China of detaining one million (possibly 3 million) Muslims subject to massive human rights violations
in concentration camps. Meanwhile back at the ranch…
Jews in Germany advised not to wear kippahs everywhere in public.
“”Trump blamed immigrants for German crime, but the far right is still responsible. Felix Klein, Germany’s commissioner on anti-Semitism…blamed “the lifting of inhibitions and the uncouthness which is on the rise in society” for the rise in anti-Semitism.”
Klein’s comments were made in response to new crime data that showed continued growth in anti-Semitic criminal acts, with the vast majority of perpetrators being members of the German far-right, and not new immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries — a common scapegoat. Germany’s national crime rate has actually fallen, dropping last year to the lowest level since 1992.””

Jeez I wish I had a bank lend me money and not expect me to pay back.
Me too… AND keep doing it!!
Thank goodness
For real …
If millions of Americans march on those camps the children can be liberated and nurtured and returned to their parents. It is a National Crime every single second those children are caged and denied their parents.
Dear Bob, I am your #1 fan from now on.
This Administration is all about the cruelty and how much we are willing to look away from, and in so doing share in their crimes.
Do we have genuine information? How many are missing, displaced, shipped across the country, escaped from temporary home, trafficked,
hungry, badly nourished, sick, pregnant, drugged, victimized, lacking friendship or nurturing, in solitary, without educational materials, suicidal or dead? How many have medical problems as yet undiagnosed or treated (as happened recently) until it is too late? How many are pre-verbal, without love and entirely without protections? When will Trump and his enabler$$ pay for what they have done?

Standing shoulder to shoulder with you, bridge.
I’m doing more than tweeting on this topic. If I can find a way to mobilize others I’ll post it here.
Would THIS be treason?
Maybe he has, but I don’t recall Lawrence’s doing a town hall before, during this cycle. So glad he picked Kamala Harris!
I just watched PBS Online doc on the Supreme Court justice picks … just reconfirmed that McConnel is a POS. Not that I didint already know that …but I hope at some point, illegal PP’s SC picks can be overturned / reversed. God I sure hope Dems can retake the Senate as well as the Presidency next year.

Sorry I watched.

Guardian: “Support for pro-remain parties eclipsed pro-leave parties, despite the Brexit party’s overall victory
Lying “Nigel Farage’s Brexit party may have triumphed in the European election by a significant margin, but there is enough data for remain supporters to argue that their side was victorious on the night – and that they could win any second referendum.”
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/may/27/remain-hard-brexit-what-uk-european-election-results-tell-us
Bolllocks to Brexit:
“There are several ways to make plausible comparisons.
The simplest is to compare the Brexit party’s 5.2m votes across Great Britain (Northern Ireland is not due to declare until Tuesday) with the “Bollocks to Brexit” Lib Dems and the pro-remain Greens, who attracted 3.4m and 2m. Taken together, they come out 132,000 votes higher at 5.4m.
A second method is to take all the pro-Brexit parties – Farage’s party and Ukip – and compare that against the pro-remain parties, taking in Change UK and the Scottish and Welsh nationalists. That gives you 5.8 million voting unambiguously pro-Brexit – or 34.9% – and 6.7 million voting for remain parties, including 753,000 from the Scottish and Welsh nationalists, or 40.4%.”
As in the U.S. where the will of the people is clear on guns, health care, comprehensive immigration, equal rights, etc:
The British have marched and petitioned for a new referendum that they’d very likely win. Evidence shows that most want to Remain. But the overlords (oil oligarchs and big money players) in both countries repeatedly and brazenly block action on legislation.
= Not Democracy.
Exactly
Isn’t it the process that matters…obtaining and exposing the gory details to the public on tv.
Let’s be creative. How investigating McConnell? We’ve known for a very long time things are not right there. As well as Graham, what happened to him. Did Putin give him a brain transplant?
America should know who’s working for THE PEOPLE
These ignorant, dangerous people should never be in charge of making decisions that will impact your family. Never!
What kind of Jesus is this? Their version of (not Jewish) Jesus doesn’t believe in safety nets, so everyone that doesn’t go to their church can just do the right, convenient and responsible thing and please die.
That ‘Jesus stuff’ is just a ruse to them. They do not lead the life of his example
That long pass of PBO’s in the video up top….
Yes a million times!!! They need to be purg d completely from government . Forever
Purged. 😐
imo a lot of things mixed up together:
such as an empty showman in a manufactured reality media show who got votes by absolving the Christian Right of their nasty guilt. The way he got himself into this includes business incompetence, gross deception, corruption, zero conscience, uninformed, mafia crimes, sleaze of all kinds. Connected and supported by big oil, Bannon, and global neo-fascism.
-Fascination with Hitler (Ivana said so). He got caught in Putin’s jaws…soon to be chomped and crunched on by us.
Oh please, MSM, ask him !!!
