There was a moment a few weeks ago that went unnoticed.
Speaking about Special Counsel Mueller :
Trump murmured, “He is conflicted…..”
And imo therein lies Trump’s opportunity.
- 24 bridgeriverpass
  July 23, 2019 at 12:29 pm
  
  Mr. Mueller may well be conflicted by a career of honoring past presidents,
  a career of dutifully doing following military orders and decisions by his department bosses.
  Well he is a private citizen now. That was part of the Katyal supreme counsel co-design.
  What’s needed now is for Mueller to ignore ALL intimidation.
  We need Mueller to wear that Superman cape (Joy said it in passing).

  Most food stamp benefits go to low-income white people, but the Trump administration will also be cutting food assistance for low-income veterans. 1.4 million low-income vets receive food stamps. Additionally, millions of poor senior citizens receive SNAP benefits. 4.8 million seniors are on SNAP. SNAP also helps 20 million children a month eat.
  
  Republicans aren’t eliminating fraud waste and abuse. They are harming the elderly, disabled, and children.
  
  The Trump tax cuts for the wealthy haven’t paid for themselves, so kids in America will go hungry because corporations were given a tax cut.

“I owned the Miss Universe contests and pageants, and we had them in Puerto Rico twice.
And I’ll tell you, we had tremendous successes. In fact, they said literally 100 percent — this never happens — almost — I think it was close to 100 — but 100 percent of the island itself was watching. They liked those pageants.’

Dangerous idiot

It turns out that 10 million is the urban population of Afghanistan. Trump may be relying on an actual plan drawn up by some genocidal maniac that calls for the destruction of that nation in order to “save” it. This deserves further serious investigation. https://t.co/8KQvW5KkYF

The 1619 Project:

So, here it is. If you follow me on here, if you know me in real life, then you know I'm obsessed with the year 1619 & how the start of slavery in America has shaped everything in our society. So, in Feb. I pitched to @NYTmag a project to examine, in this 400th year, the legacy.

This is a pivotal moment in our nation’s history, and I believe President Trump presents an existential threat to our democracy. I am, therefore, calling for the immediate opening of an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. Watch my full statement below. pic.twitter.com/3PfEt0HCZN

Good night/morning TOD ….

How many millions will you terrorize, torture and murder, Don, in order to try and distract the few remaining #WhiteSupremacists who support you that you aren't a TRAITOR & absolutely SHITTY Biz dude?

Hope you realize when you're whimpering to #Putin you're being recorded.

NADLER: Under DOJ policy, the president could be prosecuted for obstruction of justice crimes after he leaves office, correct?
MUELLER: True.
