Congrats, OG. Couldn’t agree more! I think that smile has healing powers.
.@realDonaldTrump is delusional if he thinks an executive order can override #SCOTUS. His motives are nakedly partisan. He wants an undercount of Latinos and other people of color because he knows that would help his re-election chances as well as continued GOP #Gerrymanderingpic.twitter.com/n9E7L2j16W
I remember reading on our blog something about the team planning to go to a BBQ with the Obama’s, but I thought it was a joke post. I still think that, but maybe…
“May I stress the need for courageous, intelligent and dedicated leadership…Leaders of sound integrity. Leaders not in love with publicity, but in love with justice. Leaders not in love with money, but in love with humanity.”
Thank you, J’OB. So miss people of exquisite character. These charlatans are trying to exhaust all that’s good in We The People. Keep up the good fighr, exhaust their rancid arses instead, & boot these raggedy arseholics out. ✊
My smiling Forever President:) Love 💕 and miss him. Every single minute of every single day.
We cannot continue as a democracy w/ this level of criminality in a POTUS (past & present) & every corner of his administration. Passing impeachment responsibilities onto voters tells every corrupt pol that they can run amok if getting enough votes. THIS STRATEGY WILL DESTROY US.
I know that everyone wants impeachment proceedings to begin. But no one talks about the Senate. This is the real reason that no impeachment has begun. And just yesterday they confirmed another unqualified person for lifetime judgeship. If we cannot remove these folks from office. Doesn’t that leave them in a stronger place. Just yesterday an appeals court struck down the omuluments case.
Sometimes I think about it like watching the house burn down and not even grabbing a hose. Maybe you can’t save the entire structure but maybe you’ll save some rooms and some of your most important and valuable mementos. Maybe what you save can be the foundation upon which you rebuild. But to just stand by and watch your life’s investment and the place that represents your home burn down to the ground and not call 911 and not lift a finger to stop it feels incomprehensible. AND if the rationale for not beginning impeachment hearings because we don’t have a majority in the Senate is the ultimate justification for standing by, then why are the House Democrats passing so much great legislation only to see it die in the Senate??? It’s the same principle! It reminds me of the power Mitch McConnell levied to stop our country from being informed about the Russian incursion into our election. Would we let that happen again, knowing what we know now???
What I fear most is not only Trump being enabled and emboldened to continue his brazen criminality but the historic precedent it sets for future presidents to do the same. There are no longer any guard rails. In my opinion, impeachment hearings gets the evidence and the facts of the case, WHICH ARE DAMNING, into the public record and the public eye not only for now but for the history of our country. In my mind, it should not be a political calculation. It should be a moral one, one based on whether Trump broke the law. HE HAS AND HE CONTINUES TO BREAK IT DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY. And the best we can do is write sternly worded tweets of disappointment and just sit there while subpoenas and document requests are ignored and more lies are the result? Launching impeachment hearings would make the accountability for all that more real and the lack of cooperation and brazen defiance MORE PUNISHABLE. It’s a whole different legal process. I don’t care how the GOP reacts. I feel it must be done for the citizens of our country. We know they’ll lie and distort because they do that NO MATTER WHAT. How can impeachment hearings where the truth is exposed leave us in a worse place in 2020 than we are now? I don’t see how it can, no matter what the Senate does. I want to see us FIGHT for our democracy.
I don’t feel like I worked to elect a blue wave to be an innocent bystander. I am disappointed that with so much evidence of wrong doing, we are helpless to even appear to be fixing it. Instead, we get bizarre statements about “he’s not worth it” or he’ll “self-impeach” which make zero sense to me. I believe our country is worth fighting for and I would rather fight with every tool in the tool box expressly designed for this purpose instead of leaving all the tools in the shed and locking them up.
I feel exactly the same, which is why I have been working via Indivisible to persuade House Democrats to sign on. Nancy is usually politically savvy, but this should not be a political calculation. This is nothing like the GOP impeaching Clinton.
Meta, may I have your permission to copy this and post it to Facebook? Do you want credit? If you are on Facebook yourself, how can I find you? I will just share from your page if you have already posted this compelling argument.
Judith, if you feel my words will appeal to your fellow travelers, please go ahead and post by all means. I’m not on Facebook nor is it necessary to give credit. I’m grateful to know my struggle with all this resonates.
It pains me to witness our Congress right now. Nancy Pelosi is not only my Speaker but she has been my rep for years and years. I have supported her in the strongest terms all this time. But now I really do not understand what she’s doing. I just don’t get it.
Many of the Freshman women are on powerful committees …even the ones who bash her…i get email from my Congresswoman..and others from PA….all the time…talking about substantive issues…i think two of the 4 have joined the chorus for Impeachment…my Congress Woman…Madeline Dean…has…she is on the Judiciary and Oversight Committee…
i think that some see the DEMS as the last line of DEFENSE for our Democracy…when it actually is #WeThePeople…
Impeachment has always been a political process…Even Mueller could not bring himself top say that Trump committed a crime……. Mueller who saw all of Trump’s criminality up close and personal……
the DOJ memo about not indicting a sitting President is a political memo…all this is political…
While all of us are clamoriing for Trump’s head…Pelosi is worried about protecting the Dem Majority…and to expand that majority…in 2020..
Justice Dems bashing Pelosi…Never Trumpers bashing Pelosi and the Dems…Indivisble calling to replace Pelosi…the press pressing their DEMS in Disarry mantra…
Things are rather Fragile….
TRump has us all topsy turvy…he throws out one bombshell distraction right after another bombshell distraction…it feels like we are going from pillar to post….
but we have to remain focused…
what are our goals…what do we wish to achieve…what is our agenda…we have to be about more than putting out TRUMP’s fires…
Your words echo exactly what’s my heart, meta! I hope you write Speaker Pelosi and tell her all of this. Every brilliant word.
(((((((((((((((((((( meta ))))))))))))))))))))
I don’t know about you guys, but on the issue between Pelosi and the 4 extra liberals women (Bless their hearts!), I side with Pelosi because she is a mature politician and very savvy at what she does. These 4 young women, some of whom remind me of a Bernie Sanders wannabe, are way above their heads sometimes.
When I find two things that seem to contradict each other yet are both true I try to settle myself with the idea that paradoxes exist. For myself I want Nancy Pelosi to get all the backup she needs and I understand she is trying not to fall into Trump’s plan having yet another effort to hold him accountable fail before the election so he can say he was exonerated. At the same time I am wanting to support the four freshman women who are so gifted and who are needed in our efforts to right this ship of state.
We are going to have to learn that we are not choosing sides but trying to be a part of the discernment needed to hold up our end as citizens/voters. Dealing with the level of corruption and sociopathology we have in our GOP at this time is going to be like walking through a field of land mines.
Oh, I so totally agree with you! In this case, I honestly do not fully support and trust Pelosi. Yes, she is experienced and maybe the best ever at counting votes. However, this situation is not about counting votes. Just like the rest of us, she has NEVER had to deal with something like this and frankly, I think she is “doing what she’s always done.” This mess calls for something more. I agree with the tweet from Lincoln’s Bible and what our Bob says.
She made a big mistake of saying what she said about the four. Then, she did the talk to her caucus about “we must stay together.” Well, she wasn’t modeling that behavior in treating these four promising young women the way she did. My two cents………….
Catrst and TNMTNGirl1, I couldn’t agree more. I simply wish that Dems wouldn’t fall into “my way or the highway” freedom caucus attitude who chased its old leader, John Boehner. Besides, anyone that disparage a fellow Dem because s/he is “old” as oppose of s/he being younger with all these great new ideas is being silly. I tend to recognize wisdom in seasoned politicians and Pelosi certainly is one well rounded Speaker.
1/ When researchers discovered evidence of the true intent behind Trump's demand for a wildly inaccurate census count, what they had uncovered was a conspiracy to defraud American voters by corrupting a constitutionally mandated government function.
Psst, Congress! No one is coming to save us! It’s YOUR job!!
One of the most enduring things about Trump, dating back to the Republican primary, is everyone hoping someone else will save us from him. https://t.co/3ufzODHlYv
To withhold voting rights from certain people… to slant elections towards his party, and HIM!!
Jeez!! Who fucking could’ve guessed THAT was the plan!!???
At first blush a citizenship question might not seem like a big deal. But we’ve learned the administration claimed it would help enforce voting rights, which SCOTUS rejected & new evidence suggests it will be used to deny voting rights to some citizens. https://t.co/Qb7YA5yTJi
Whoever told Trump he can refute a Supreme Court decision with an EO is a real idiot. I guess their plan is to go to court and make this an extended battle. But that’s stupid, too, because it’s stipulated in the Constitution and in this cycle it must by law be carried out by April 1, 2020. Are they taking that to the Supreme Court as well? This is really a CF of gargantuan proportions.
And even this will not create a sense of URGENCY from Pelosi and Schumer or any other Democrat! And, of course the Rs who just love and live by the Constitution 😳🥺😫😤😖😱😂 will be silent. Sorry, as I said above, Pelosi is working with an “in the past/way we’ve always done it” mentality. This has to STOP!
Yes. I’ve called numerous times over the past few months. Called yesterday. You have to press 1. Do your message. Keep it short. Then press 1 if you are satisfied with message, then 1 to send.
In other words… STFU Donny Dickhead! Not your call!
Here's that #Census2020 clause in the constitution: "The actual Enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of ten years, in such manner as they shall by law direct." They=Congress
One of the most revealing things about our current political moment is how indifferent so many ppl are to suffering that doesn't impede their own lives. This has always been true, but it has been illuminated in new & unsettling ways. There are a lot of ppl who simply don't care.
Luckily, America's robust diplomacy, regional alliances and strong international leadership will help mitigate or stop the creation of a Russia-China (Iran) axis in the world.
is the NYPD fine with all those convicted of crimes never checking in with them or is it just the white billionaire pedophiles who get a pass https://t.co/Xti9xR6RsE
The fastest way he can do something. A bunch of clowns
Trump is expected to sign an executive order to attempt to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, a move that would prompt immediate court challenges.
“An executive order is the fastest way he can do something,” an administration official said.https://t.co/fe8jxkXxN5
We have in plain view the evidence of how GOP treat women and girls in their mansions, at the border, at their workplace, in the doctor's office: they kidnap children, sexually abuse them, rape them, traffic them, deny their rights, legislate their bodies, never believe them.
Thread. As was posted the other day, he now confers with alt right trolls for memes to send out. This is who’s ‘ in charge’. ( And Nancy thinks we can just do things as usual and all will work out. I.Don’t.Think.So.
The point of Trump’s tweets this morning is solely to provoke. He’s meeting w/ professional trolls at his social media “summit”. So these tweets were designed, & likely written, by trolls in the White House (there are several) – so that they have fresh content to discuss. (cont)
1. Here’s my take: this represents the first actual constitutional crisis – the Supreme Court said Trump can’t do something, Trump says to SCOTUS, “screw you, I’m doing it anyway.” This might sound strange but I welcome this. Why? Because … https://t.co/YpThWMdkt0
This goddamn food vendor that services where I work at opens mouth a big mouth about how great trump is, I almost lost it. This fucking guy is probably struggling to make ends meet, there hasn’t been a policy that trump came up with that has actually helped this guy.
Just like the infant isolated in another room and left to “cry it out” by stinking parents,
Americans are left to wait it out till the next rigged election,
With hands tied and sane voices ignored.
Dear media friends: please don’t fall for Trump’s bogus drama on census “executive action”! The admin already took action. That’s what went to court. That’s what SCOTUS blocked. Any new step lands right back in court. An “action” is likely little more than a press release.
thought that i would post this conversation for thought
pelosi's interview was wide ranging, even praising aoc in it. dowd posted edited comments as a tease and ppl who should be intelligent enough to know better than trust maureen based on excerpts, fell for it. aoc knew the truth but saw airtime in keeping a false narrative going
— Bob … there's a bathroom on the right. … Berry (@monsoon2112) July 11, 2019
Nancy Pelosi told The Loose Cannon Caucus to talk to her instead of airing their grievances on social media or in the media. As soon as the meeting ends, the Loose Cannons run straight to the media to whine about being corrected by their Leader. And y'all keep gassing them up.
Judicial Estoppel:
“The problem this creates for Trump arises out of a doctrine known as “judicial estoppel.”
Estoppel doctrines generally prohibit a party from making one claim, and then contradicting their own assertion when that assertion becomes disadvantageous.” (https://thinkprogress.org/why-trumps-new-attempt-to-rig-the-census-must-fail-in-just-two-words-257e1a9af281/)
-Also the Trumpskies blew their chance when they lied to the Supreme Court – 5 justices called them out.
-Plus Trump administration lawyers claimed many times that June 2019 was the deadline.
Plus Rep José Seranno (D-NY) Chairman of Commerce, Justice, Science:
says he will block funding for a reprint of the Census.
–Trumpsky will drag this on to intimidate and also set up the parameters for the next attempt.

The citizenship question sounds benign if you are unaware of the context, which is the Trump administration plan to use it to institute a nationwide racial gerrymander. Networks have dutifully ignored that context. https://t.co/0XrMZscAXS

Yes, years from now you’ll laugh about it. Like when I was a kid I fell off of a fence and broke my arm, the bone broke through the skin, I don’t remember the pain. I was told that the pain was so great that the mind couldn’t comprehend it that’s why I couldn’t remember the pain. You’ll be okay, marleysperson.
Music and earphones? Obviously I’ve been going to the wrong dentist, my guy doesn’t do music or earphones. He wants you to hear everything. As soon as I walk in the office I give him a gift or a tribute, just to make sure he’s in the right frame of mind.
Put another way: President finds out he can't just do something that is un-Constitutional just because he wants to. But he tried. He'll try again, with other things. https://t.co/e0ZNspCnjj
People are missing a big story. We're witnessing the formation of new Democratic Party doctrines and policies on asylum/the border that contrast sharply with Trump's vision.
There is a real developing consensus here that is bigger than the differences:https://t.co/OSIt5685JB
This is precisely the concern some expressed about impeaching but being unable to convict in the Senate minus a.) the impact of effectively making the case against him publicly, systematically, on television and b.) the benefit of showing the Senate's indifference to his crimes.
The ‘case’ for Impeaching Trump and several others has nothing to do with TV, Polls or all the other bullshit, as I’m sure you know all to well, meta.
Either the #RuleOfLaw is enforced or it’s dead.
I’m exhausted from cute tweets from Dems, as hopefully conveyed as succinctly as possible here ….
This is a Platinum Award Winning tweet, Rep @TedLieu.
Now, how about introducing a Platinum Award Winning set of #ArticlesOfImpeachment though you'd legitimately have to share the Award with SC #RobertMueller & his Patriotic Team of Prosecutors since they WROTE IT FOR YOU.

Estoppel doctrines generally prohibit a party from making one claim, and then contradicting their own assertion when that assertion becomes disadvantageous.” (https://thinkprogress.org/why-trumps-new-attempt-to-rig-the-census-must-fail-in-just-two-words-257e1a9af281/)
-Also the Trumpskies blew their chance when they lied to the Supreme Court – 5 justices called them out.
-Plus Trump administration lawyers claimed many times that June 2019 was the deadline.
Plus Rep José Seranno (D-NY) Chairman of Commerce, Justice, Science:
says he will block funding for a reprint of the Census.
–Trumpsky will drag this on to intimidate and also set up the parameters for the next attempt.
BOOM. And BOOM.
Ask the evangelical oligarchy pulling the strings what they think of Epstein, Trump and child rapists as colleagues. Um.
More of this narrative…

Q: Will Benito Trump ultimately fail in this, yet succeed in:
Distracting from his own serial rapist past and present connections?
Probability = Possibility squared.
The amplitude of a quantum wave is its possibility.
The square of possibility is a probability.
Never mind
the boll..cks.
WHAT exactly = What exactly are we doing to remove Trump?
California. Does.It.Right.

PLEASE SHARE! ICE will start their scare roundup this weekend and people need to know their rights!
They should all be thrown in jail if they refuse to show up
Oh.
Bill Clinton and Woody Allen, oh my.
PUKE.
Well this sure puts things all in perspective!!
Anyone ever had teeth pulled? I have to do that tomorrow morning and I have to say, I’m a little anxious 😟
Yes, years from now you’ll laugh about it. Like when I was a kid I fell off of a fence and broke my arm, the bone broke through the skin, I don’t remember the pain. I was told that the pain was so great that the mind couldn’t comprehend it that’s why I couldn’t remember the pain. You’ll be okay, marleysperson.
Is the pain going to be so great that I pass out from the shear pain… ???!!!! ( says the woman who birthed 2 babies with no drugs😂)
You know what it is that gives me the hebe jebbees? The SOUND of it all… thank you for your reply, Don. Keep good thoughts for me
I’m just kidding, you’ll be just fine, they’ll shoot you up and you won’t even fell the extraction taking place.
But I’ll HEAR it!!
Ask for music and earphones
Music and earphones? Obviously I’ve been going to the wrong dentist, my guy doesn’t do music or earphones. He wants you to hear everything. As soon as I walk in the office I give him a gift or a tribute, just to make sure he’s in the right frame of mind.
I actually love my dentist and dental hygienist. They’re super kind and super professional. Yes, COOKIES.
Trump participated.
Dumbass
is twitter down
It seems to be a mess right now:)
So glad to see Serena Williams is in the finals Saturday.

= Positive on Mueller testimony next week.
“Families belong together. Every person in the U.S. has rights.”
“Unity is our power. We have a big fight and we are in the arena.”
Btw:
Where is the “beautiful” baby jail that Trump touted?
Details please regarding mythical space/time.
Twitter is working, again.
The ‘case’ for Impeaching Trump and several others has nothing to do with TV, Polls or all the other bullshit, as I’m sure you know all to well, meta.
Either the #RuleOfLaw is enforced or it’s dead.
I’m exhausted from cute tweets from Dems, as hopefully conveyed as succinctly as possible here ….
New post.
