Other mammals share our same emotions. Their brains work differently, but they FEEL the same as us…possibly more intensely, as they don’t have reason or denial to dilute them. Higher primates “think” more like us, & feel twice as deeply. This is such a powerful example. https://t.co/Gxj3Lt2pb6
“Donald Trump is not the CUSTOMER of Rudy Giuliani he is the PRODUCT. That should be pretty disturbing.” – @lopezlinette on @davidgura was spot on! That Rudy is being paid by Russian mobsters, not by his “client,” the president, raises this question: to whom is Trump being SOLD?
McConnell…the the Evangelicals…Putin…The Federalist Society…etc…..all in exchange for money to line Trump’s pockets…he is not driving the bus…not sure if he knows this…but he does not seem to care..as long as he continues to fill his pockets..

@DISCOVER.HUMANITY
– Hasn’t tweeted in 26 hours – Maybe he fled to Moscow – House impeachment hearings resume this week – Trump-Sondland Sept 9th phone call never happened – The coverup is unraveling in real time – Trump is going to prison – It’s still only 10:30am
We began this "call to action" on 23 August. Our account had 343k followers. In a little over 3 months, you all helped us grow this virtual community of remembrance by almost 400k. Now, we have less than 10,000 left to go.
Thread. We have to vote in numbers not seen before. We must eradicate this from the Earth. There is no place for any of this. Anywhere. Ever.
We can shrug it off. We can say, "What else is new?" We can rationalize that it is only a small minority of Americans who are driving this despicable behavior. But such complacency only opens the door wider to those who seek to dehumanize, to demonize, to target "the other."
Namaste, you can read it here: Thread by @djrothkopf: Just got this via text: "You are a retarded kike. You dont want to win 2020. You enjoy… https://t.co/G3AmO5TEiJ. See you soon. 🤖
There are no by-standers in America today. You either are actively fighting to save the country from Trump and Trumpism or you are supporting both either directly or via your passivity in the face of their racism, misogyny, nativism, religious intolerance, corruption and abuses.
Trump has institutionalized & weaponized hate. He’s made it ok to be openly racist, antisemitic, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim & misogynistic. He empowers & fuels it. But he’s also awakened a coalition that is fighting back. Sorry you got this, my friend. But, we’ve got your back. https://t.co/c32LMs2O5L
THREAD: Remember the Curtis Flowers case? The man prosecuted 6 times by the same D.A. for a brutal murder in MS? This yr the SCOTUS found that the D.A. illegally removed Black jurors from serving in the case. Now we’ve sued the D.A. on behalf of all Black jurors in that district. https://t.co/eozaU1nt2o
Yeah,no. They aren’t THAT concerned. Don’t want to dirty themselves. They all need to get voted out. They are putting themselves above a country. Cowards all.
If you're a Republican and you're still off the record, you're not *that* "concerned" https://t.co/9Od4EweHoE
Trump’s goal in the Mazars subpoena cases was to kill the clock, but that effort has failed. Both cases have been fast-tracked by SCOTUS. This article by @marty_lederman does a great job of explaining why I am so confident that Trump will lose both cases at SCOTUS. Read it. https://t.co/UUAhIVPEnu
We have the goods on the Trump Crime Family.
Now it’s defeating the relentless Cohn and Putin strategies, while GOP buys time to save their back sides. Trump’s early brainwashing (via guru Norman Vincent Peale) means he continues to believe whatever words come out of his mouth will materialize.
But no matter the spin…nutter in the WH is guilty as all get out.
–going..going…gone.
Six years ago, at night the first Euromaidan protest was violently dispersed by Berkuthe riot police. Later, the Euromaidan movement became much bigger https://t.co/pVqMxBEtG8
“Now Charlotte, a student at the School of American Ballet, is breaking a barrier herself: She is the first black Marie, the young heroine of “George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker,” at NYC Ballet. It’s a milestone for the production, which dates to 1954.” https://t.co/3omDff1NCj
The late congresswoman was born on November 30, 1924 in Brooklyn, NY.

Stellar idea. Better use of his time and $$$… throw Steyer in there, too. The two together could really make a dent and do some REAL good!
He could buy Fox News, Sinclair and Breitbart and either shut them down or repurpose their platforms to deradicalize their viewership. https://t.co/NA0W3jdJUA
There were two reasons the spineless coward went to Bagram. First, he wanted to detract from his meddling in the military justice system. That didn’t work. Next he will use that footage as a campaign ad. Something no other President has ever done to my knowledge
Three proposed rule changes by the #Trumpadministration could cause millions of poor people to lose access to food stamps and decrease the size of the benefit for millions more. https://t.co/nUgtG7Bzn5 via @nbcnews
Merely a manifestation of the subconscious awareness of the implications of an ever shrinking Y Chromosome coupled with the very conscious reality that women – globally – are really, really, really done with male dominance.
Anyone want to know why the students in Baltimore were booing Melania Trump, when she is talking about someone being their best, her husband is the biggest nastiest bully there is. Maybe she should put the sign Be Best in the White House before she try to tell someone else what to do. Now her husband is tweeting about Jerry Nalder’s weight. A 74 ten year old bully, funny how he can be nasty to everyone except Putin.
A lot is being made of a poll finding a majority of Republicans think Trump is a better president than Lincoln. Maybe it’s because Honest Abe had a weak Twitter game.
Good guys with sincere intentions and good ideas don’t steal South Carolina voter data from @KamalaHarris. Steyer doesn’t respect Black voters enough to meet us where we are and earn our votes, nothing about that feels good to me. https://t.co/gpgxSCo75y
Bill Barr lied to Congress. He falsely accused the FBI of spying that did not occur. That's a felony. He needs to be impeached, removed from office and prosecuted.https://t.co/jxatU1tmZp
I thought this old bat apologized for saying this last week!! Did he forget he said that?? Vote them ALL out!!
Put Sen John Kennedy in the Russia Controlled category. He parroted Putin's fake Hillary/Ukraine 2016 election interference crap while defending Trump this am. Good job by Chuck Todd tying his words to Putin. We have to call a spade a spade- Kennedy is a Russia controlled traitor https://t.co/yJqJWlZYOI
Former Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak is dropping his 2020 presidential bid after failing to gain traction in the crowded Democratic field https://t.co/Sp3bFkkB25
And then there's Bolton, who would rather write a book for profit than fulfill his duty to his country by testifying before Congress. Please make a pledge to yourself that you won't buy his book either.
The Administration’s proposals would disproportionately affect Pennsylvania with a 19.4% reduction in benefits. PA children, families, seniors and individuals with disabilities WILL skip meals and WILL experience hunger. This is a blatant attack on our Nation’s most vulnerable.
Your daily reminder that Trump is the first president elected since Nixon to refuse to release his tax returns, and any payments from Russia remain secret.
Billionaires in this race not targeting the top 4 but going after both Kamala's data as well as intellectual property and paying former staff to write disparaging resignation letter speaks volumes. pic.twitter.com/XZiouOL8sK
Are people aware that John Aravosis @aravosis has rigged google search results so that "Kamala donate" comes up with his Actblue link first which splits donations 50/50 between him and Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris?https://t.co/ggLwuYJ3s9

If we’re being fair, a lot of the criticism of @KamalaHarris’s campaign is because people still have trouble picturing a black woman as president. But this ad looks like a president to me. No matter who your candidate is, let’s be smart enough to shed old stereotypes in 2020. https://t.co/aG72xJysTj

"On Dec. 9, the Justice Dept Inspector General report into Trump’s charges that the FBI spied on his 2016 campaign will come out.

Trump has had decades of legal run-ins with him in NY.
And my understanding is he has therefore been insulting Chairman Nadler for decades.

Agreed about Colint Eastwood … and I would add Susan Sarandon to the list and another right wing hack actor whose name I can’t recall – though I want to say it is Ed Woods (or something like that).
Hey Todjey, can’t wait to read yr random thoughts! 💞 The other nincumpoop I can’t stand is Jon Voight. He’s a piece of curdled custard. Ex Nay to his movies too! 😔😇
Good morning all. Good for him. Now some others need to drop out also!! ***Kamala Harris #ForthePeople
We had planned to return home today from our daughter’s (VA). Hubby woke up early Friday with an awful stomach virus. Finally, this morning he feels more normal. Know he is going to be weak. We may leave here around 5:00 and drive 3 hrs. That would leave little over 6 hrs. tomorrow.
among the chief Republican talking points was that the process was unfair because the White House could not participate and now, given the opportunity, the White House is choosing not to participate https://t.co/a2IMPwTtFF
Remember, as we head toward an impeachment trial, that the GOP has spent 50 years *rewarding* its scoundrels. Bork. Liddy. North. Harris. Blackwell. The list goes on and on. So GOP senators and Trump co-conspirators have every reason to believe their cowardice will be *honored*.
The same House Dems running the Ukraine impeachment inquiry have been running the lawsuits to get Trump’s financial information since April, and they are on the verge of winning those cases.
Do you really think they’re sending the case to the Senate before they get the goods?
I do believe this is correct. Shorter version, they have to cheat because the entire country has moved away from them
"This is of a piece with the general anti-democracy trend in the Republican Party, which justly fears that the majority of the country no longer supports its agenda, and that extreme measures must be taken to shield its grip on power from democratic accountability."
Did anyone notice, when Trump arrived in Austin Nov 20th, 2 days after his unscheduled visit to Walter Reed Hospital, that he walked down the smaller steps from the belly of the plane, did not do his normal clapping of his hands, and he did not move his left arm. What’s up?
Wish his London trip could land him at his rightful place: Moscow! Never to return. Then the rest of his GOP enablers could follow suit, pronto. And we’ll all live happily ever after, or close to it! 😂😂
Nancy Pelosi on climate change, at the opening of the U.N. conference on climate change: "This is a mission, this is a passion, this is a scientifically-based approach, to all.

Because the GOP has become the Antithesis of Democracy….they are willing to shred democracy to further their own end…or use our democracy (aka electoral college) if it cements their power…#SomethingToRemember
Every 70 years…we have to beat them back. Yeh we know America = the oligarchy model = a system of government where a small number of elites rule…means…big time corruption. Thus am unsuccessfully seeking an article that (apparently) mentioned how every 70 years or so American oligarchs have had to be pushed back.
So with that in mind…
Mid 19th century: Government controlled by cotton plantation owners led to civil war and reconstruction.
1920s: Mining and wall street corruption, stock market collapse….great depression…then Roosevelt, new deal. (WW2…..) Recent decades: Multinational O & G, hotel, entertainment and gun alliance, the Republican Party, and blue dogs like Manchin controlling Government. Gives rise to would-be autocrat Trump, corruptly elected president, self-enriching, compromised, directed by foreign government(s), willing to do bidding of O & G and major polluting industries, end EPA, end public education, end safety nets, deny climate crisis and risk future viability of our species.
—Once again we urgently need to smash down oligarchy, the plutocrats running U.S. government.
—This election is our chance to address America’s plight + specter of global corporate far right control.
—And address climate crisis, e.g. includes ending $billions in oil subsidies.
Which candidates can and will actually do this? Who is already demonstrating how they will perpetuate the
status quo?
Trump SNAP cuts will hurt people In states he needs in 2020. Specifically, they will hurt his base. And they will vote for him anyway. Because he hates who they hate.

I missed all that earlier. Ugh.
Thanks for this, Bobfr:)
INCREDIBLE…
he is the product of many folks…

Must say I hadn’t heard the term “gender fluid”. Apologies for my lack of knowledge, but what’s the difference between being GF & being bisexual?
Right ON!

Which is why I hit donate via her website…
Amen to that
I go to all their websites to donate. Did Kamala for first time last week. 😘
Smart rule of thumb
Indeed it isss

yup

one idea…
Escape artist skilled at deception may be setting up his exit.
I keep thinking the same … Will he run away to Russia along with other GOP’ers to avoid any form of indictments here.
To me he looks like he has had a stroke. Something the WH would never admit.
