It appears they have wiped their hands of dealing with his constant, blatant criminality
House Democrats could try to do some oversight or even attempt to halt this, but thanks to impeachmentphobia they’ve convinced themselves not to call attention to Trump’s criminality. https://t.co/aRmceBN3Zo
If you're a border patrol agent or ICE agent & you have documented proof of criminal behavior by @DHSgov ICE or The Border Patrol I will bring you & the evidence to the media.
I will help you get a lawyer, protection under USA whistleblower laws and a new job.
Maybe because they were not concerned with photo ops, but for national and global security.

Pence was on his way to an event in NH. Plane turned around midway and he headed back to the WH for “a meeting.” Apparently no health or plane issues. Just a meeting.
My second thought! In the meantime, VP Comms people put out a tweet in la la land saying all’s well … la la la. Then the WH tells press corps Pence was never actually in the air (that lie came from the NH event people) … blah blah blah.
Seeing your comment, I just broke out in that “nervous laughter” stuff. There’s an eclipse over So. America today and that popped in my mind, too, as a possible quick way out. Kidding, of course, because we will outlast this awful crowd.
So Trump introduced Jong-Un to his new business partners: Ivanka and Jared.
-Trump gave his fave murderous dictator a photo-op for free at the Dictator Welcoming Committee.
Q: Would you risk the chance of your daughter offending Jong-Un in a future business deal?
On Trump’s lie about PBO:
1) A photo-op with ANY American president had to be on NK’s wish list.
2) Instead: Trump gave Jong-Un two million dollars for the torturing and releasing the dying Mr. Wamblier.
“What you’re seeing and you’re reading is not what’s happening.” (Trump)
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of our eyes and ears. It was was their final, most essential command.” (1984, Orwell)
Watching Trump make a shithole out of America….
Who will trust America going forward?
So Congress what will do it for you? Trump shooting the jailed, shooting the journalists, shooting the protestors…what?
The video of Trump telling the PBO lie is being removed from various accounts.
Check out what Trump looks like when he knows he is telling a massive ugly lie.

As Democrats, we are fortunate to have such an impressive field. The strength of our candidates is good for our democracy and for us as a nation. Joe has spent his entire life fighting for hard working American families. That’s the kind of President we need now more than ever.

Remember how MSM “somehow” named folks devastated by Katrina as “refugees”? How is anyone defined as a refugee in their own country? That truly pissed me off. I was living in CA then, took a vacation from work, & on my dime went to volunteer in NOLA. It was one of the most amazing & poingnant moments of my life. I refused to allow anyone to be marginalized. The so-called 4th Estate is complicit in marginalization of the desparate of us all. Refugees are people fleeing atrocities from their own countries. Shame if it’s now become a word people in US use for refugees just by color of their skin. Becoming a refugee, fleeing all you know & loved ones, never knowing if you’ll survive the journey, & finally reaching a legit point of entry, does not make one undocumented. You are an asylum candidate, not “illegal”. Now, we have legit refugees, coming for asylum, & going through unimaginable tragedies. Why? Under this current iQ45 & Co. shitfest (not forgetting Meli w/ her “I don’t care, do you”) all these inhuman arses would be under half a foil blanket in an ungilded cage. Mirrors & kleig lights needed to shine a light on so called 4th Estate. Do yr job!
Thanks for allowing my vent! Hey, I kept my tattered Webster’s close. But, I tell ya, those alphabets are in rebellion, getting mighty close to A-Z combustion. Wot! 😂😏😇
{Note: Russian Source} If true, this could explain Pence returning to the White House (or not leaving it for Manchester, NH as planned). The submarine accident would be a basis for semi-urgent (ish) national security meetings in both Moscow and Washington. https://t.co/PhB4MSaAX8
I’m not even going to turn on the tv to find out what’s going on. I’m just going to sit back and listen to music on youtube, and if the end is near so be it.
After faux-ing last week,
That this Administration is not planning to limit SC Mueller’s testimony:
Benito Trump now says (private citizen) Mueller must limit himself to the report’s findings.
WTF is Trump and cohorts hiding?
As Chairman Nadler pointed out last night, Mr. Mueller never said no collusion.
Hoping Mr. Mueller will transcend saluting his military past:
Hoping Mr. Mueller will transcend any mental affiliation to what once was the Republican Party.
Hoping Mr. Mueller will not listen to an illegitimate, compromised, proto-fascist president who openly palls around, protects, covers for, and does business with dictators.
imo real patriotism would mean speaking up, speaking out, and revealing what is being hidden from Americans.
Not waiting 50 years to let us hear what is so fkn terrible = telling us Now while he still can, so we might actually have a future worth living in.

HUGE CENSUS NEWS — the Government just advised that the decision has been made to print the the census questionnaire WITHOUT the citizenship question. We won.
Wow. I get annoyed every time I hear the mispronunciation, too, but usually in private. Ha. This first reminded me of some of Bernie’s old supporters, after he lost. I guess telling anybody to “chill” nowadays will not work, mostly because we are ALL on edge.
I call this one “how not to win hearts and minds”:
My dream is no one shows up at all. He’d have to bus people in. One itsy bitsy tangle cos of his vanity project: street closures & that includes main bridges connecting VA & DC. Hello! 😂😏
Sorry for not responding to your tweet earlier, Mr. President. We were a little busy standing up for the true values of our nation, and fighting for liberty & justice for all.
We’re glad the #2020Census will begin printing without a citizenship question.

If you’re more outraged by Nike canceling a shoe than by your government locking babies, children, and adults up in cages and telling them to drink out of the toilet if they want water, then it’s time to worry less about your soles and more about your soul. #WalkAwayFromNike
I'm a bit confused by #WalkAwayFromNike. The same ppl who already boycotted Nike and burned their Nike gear would have had to purchase more Nike products in order to do this again. Also, the value of Nike skyrocketed after their last boycott, so… pic.twitter.com/qr59LuPo5G

Thank you,
thank you, thanks to protestors for caring so much, for exposing these abominable crimes, the heinous mistreatment of defenseless families, and all who are forced to travel alone to our border in search of safe haven. Thanks to members of Congress and our presidential candidates! Please keep going till we empty the jails!
Trump: No excuses. Killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, desire for cruelty, to inflict pain and sorrow on others. These are actions that come with seen/unseen costs to him and his brown shirts.
What of the babies and little ones on their own, the ones we have heard such terrible reports about? What are their names? Where are they right now? Are they still in cold cells on concrete floors in old diapers with nothing to do, little to eat, surrounded by strangers who ignore the childfren’s screams and calls for their loved ones?
(For Benito Trump…just more boring fake human lives.)
Again thanks, with love and best wishes to all.
