Evening everyone:) wonder what mother has to say….
Manafort lied to Trump, claiming airplane trouble was forcing them to stay, then brought in Pence to meet with him. Did Pence know Manafort lied to Trump to get Pence the meeting? Did Pence know Trump already offered VP spot to Chris Christie? Someone should ask him.
For those who wondered why I was being so secretive about my whereabouts and plans for this weekend, it looks like the facts have somehow leaked. The NY Times has sources everywhere, it seems . . . https://t.co/XXcEuI7Hh6
This tells me Russian military troops and military intel are embedded with U.S. troops on U.S. military bases inside the United States of America. Let that sink in. That means Trump is planning a military coup when he loses the 2020 election. @madddow
No Democrat should sit through any “briefing” by Giuliani. This is outrageous.
The FBI has agents and legal attaches for this purpose. Treaties permit them to work with their authorized law enforcement counterparts to obtain evidence. No legitimate reason to send a private lawyer like Giuliani to Ukraine to investigate crime. https://t.co/8SlCmG6RFj
The Framers worst nightmare is what we are facing in this very moment. President Trump abused his power, betrayed our national security, and corrupted our elections, all for personal gain. The Constitution details only one remedy for this misconduct: impeachment.
the War with Russia…is not conventional…they attacked our elections…they ran a very successful disinformation campaign…using America’s weakness namely racism…white supremacy…white nationalism…and throw in misogyny….against The American people..they helped to install a Russian asset by the name of Donald Trump….
But the GOP has been engaged in voter suppression and their own brand of disinformation using the memes of racism…white supremacy.. white nationalism….they are becoming as close as 2 peas in a pod
one wonder what Russia has on the GOP…to get them to sprout Russian Talking points
Wow. Because of the on the ground activism. I was encouraged but Nothing is ever easy. A resistance is hard to sustain. But then I think about the ordinary, unnamed people of the civil rights movement. Their strength and courage always inspire me. How they kept on keeping on. May the folks trying to keep on …today….. be blessed
The Obamas are among the most successful black people in recent history & fools are out there upset that they're living about as well as your average white Tech executive.
It's one thing for broke-ass white folks in Dumpwater, Florida to hate on the Obamas for living in a house with heat and a paved driveway. But I totally notice when it's trust-fund socialists whose parents have vacation homes.
I know it's weird to feel nostalgia on #PearlHarborRemembranceDay, but I do kind of long for the time when people bent on destroying America were from other countries and not living in the White House and meeting in GOP office suites on Capitol Hill.
77 yrears ago: My grandmother, Alice Virginia Robinson Nelson, was the first Black woman on the east coast, and the second in the US, to launch a ship when she christened the SS Vincennes at the Sun Ship Dry Dock and Shipyard in Chester, Pennsylvania, on December 7, 1942. pic.twitter.com/vKFeoS6CGD
The first Black woman in the US, was singer Marian Anderson, who christened the SS Booker T. Washington, the first Liberty ship named for an African American, at the California Shipbuilding Corporation shipyard in Wilmington, California, on September 29, 1942.

Today I will be focusing my anger on boy-wonder Buttigieg. He’s an empty suit, all shine and no substance. He’s a useless app that somehow crowdfunded his way out of South Bend Indiana pop: 101,000. And why am I disgusted with Butts? Because he’s a know-nothing that never knew nothing. And the sad part is that he doesn’t even know that he knows nothing. This guy is a light-weight with no political heft, he hasn’t been through any political wars, I mean as far as South Bend goes. It is not a place like Chicago or New York where politics is a brutal contact sport. When I look in this guy’s eyes I see nothing, he’s an empty vessel taking up space. I can’t tell you a thing about his political positions and usually I can tell a person’s position through osmosis alone, but with Butts I can’t. And that’s because he does not have a footprint.
Happy Sunday Everyone!
I ran across this great rendition of Joan Osborne’s One of Us by a collegiate acapella group from the Univ of Pennsylvania from 1997. The lead is this terrific young singer named John Stephens. We know him these days as EGOT-winning, all-around cool dude, and current People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” John Legend. Enjoy! 😁

tell endless preposterous lies,
put the lives of thousands of sequestered and gagged children at risk, many (how many?) are already dead.

Just today….
Trump rushed to exonerate Saudia Arabia before the FBI could investigate…he is more concerned about the Saudis that he is Americans…This is not how Pres Obama would have handled this
– Meltdown about impeachment – Meltdown about Kim Jong Un – Linda Ronstadt destroys Mike Pompeo – Ted Cruz goes berserk – Trump’s allies throw Rudy Giuliani under the bus – Team Trump is in chaos – Trump is going to prison – It’s still only 2pm
Some contacts sent me this photo – Former US President Barack Obama arrived in Tan Son Nhat airport a few hours ago. Agenda unclear. His wife Michelle’s believed to be with him #Vietnampic.twitter.com/kNSDToEfN6
The FBI is treating Friday's Navy base shooting in Pensacola as an act of terrorism, the special agent in charge Rachel Rojas said. 80 agents are on the case, she said.
When we look at Auschwitz we see the end of the process. It's important to remember that the Holocaust actually did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed from words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanisation & escalating violence. https://t.co/eUhNnGu981
He doesn’t give a shit about anything or anyone that doesn’t directly benefit him.
"That says it all," Schiff said. "The President doesn't give a shit about what's good for our country, what's good for Ukraine. It's all about what's in it for him personally & for his reëlection campaign." "That is a perfect summary of this whole scheme." https://t.co/e5rYD9RtaM
Today, I simply say, “Thank you, Senator Kamala Harris.” For steppin’ out there. For taking all the crap thrown at you, and giving back joy, and inspiration. Just like Shirley Chisholm inspired me.https://t.co/TOwLWWBAUD

Guilty verdict in three minutes flat…
CHAIRMAN NADLER “was asked on CNN’s State Of The Union if he felt comfortable that Democrats had proven their case against Trump. He answered,
“We have a very rock-solid case. I think the case we have if presented to a jury would be a guilty verdict in about three minutes flat, and you know all this nonsense about hearsay evidence there is considerable direct evidence, and it ill-behooves a president and his partisans to say you don’t have enough direct evidence, when the reason why we don’t have more direct evidence is that the president has ordered everyone in the Executive Branch
not to cooperate with Congress in the impeachment inquiry.”
(https://www.politicususa.com/2019/12/08/nadler-jury-convict-trump.html)
–the evidence is overwhelming–
I’m late I know-but finding out Kamala is making sure her staff is paid for a full month after…😭😭😭she could have kept going & ran everything dry…but didn’t…
Mike Pence walks across a field of murdered Kurdish children, passes caged babies at the Southern border, hopscotches over the lifeless bodies of kids shot at a school, side-steps some starving kids losing their food stamps, grabs a mic, and criticizes that unthinkable Baron pun.
The Mueller indictments clearly state Bernie was aided by the Russians in their campaign to weaken Hillary's bid for the presidency. In fact, by Bernie's own admission, when he found out Macedonians were aiding him he did nothing to warn the Clinton campaign or the FBI. https://t.co/on74n27Ix6
Why was Trump’s first instinct to cover for the Saudis? Does he think this was terrorism? Why didn’t he insist on a full investigation? This is a relationship that cries out for scrutiny. https://t.co/eK9nSagoPl
Both have the same goal: Avoid having Russia take the blame for helping Trump. Ukraine is an extension of the obstruction, and Trump’s attempt to divert blame from Russia proves beyond a doubt that he was acting with corrupt intent in the obstructive acts Mueller uncovered.
The U.S. ambassador to Denmark barred an American NATO expert critical of Trump from speaking at an international conference hosted by the American embassy and a Danish think tank, prompting the event's cancellation, organizers said. https://t.co/kBT3ywSvH6
NEW: In a remarkable letter sent to the White House today, @KamalaHarris leads 27 senators in calling for the “immediate removal” of white nationalist Stephen Miller https://t.co/EOLxA9rSPG
One part of the senators’ letter focuses on how Miller’s “demonstrable white nationalist ideology has been directly translated” into Trump administration policy. https://t.co/EOLxA9rSPGpic.twitter.com/e4VYUEWSBO
House Judiciary lawyer Barry Berke is going to make a 30-min presentation separate from House Intel lawyer Daniel Goldman. That is a strong sign that Dems will put forward an impeachment article on obstruction of justice (Mueller Rpt vol 2) in addition to Ukraine affair matters. pic.twitter.com/6GBpdlMW5h
Bribery, campaign finance fraud, obstruction of justice, witness intimidation, conspiracy, solicitation. All crimes codified in federal statutes. https://t.co/y8wtya6QwZ
Another way to think of Trump in the context of the Saudi terrorist is that Trump is not a would-be king, he's a courtier, reflexively groveling to those who give him money, hoping he will not alienate them. The Saudis, Russians, Turks. We've never had @Potus like that before. https://t.co/C46MpwgXRa

I got up at 5am this morning to continue with my watching all the House Impeachment Hearings. As before the GOP are working at interrupting and distracting and trying to stop this hearing. Shameful!
You would think that the Republicans would want to rush to present their evidence and not interrupt the hearings. But when you don’t have any evidence to present, you resort to these types of shenanigans.
1. The misleading Republican arguments are as tiring as they are transparently wrong. Let me take down one we're likely to hear today: that there was no bribery because President Zelensky did not feel pressured by Trump's ultimatum. There is no requirement …
Watch @MichelleObama speak exclusively with @jennabushhager in Vietnam about the importance of girls' education, post-White House life with @BarackObama and her thoughts on the current impeachment proceedings.
Hey @TiffanyDCross can we go further? Trump represents white entitlement. His supporters see his defense as protecting that entitlement. They are against equality, since for them, that means losing their superiority. They have framed everything as an attack on white entitlement. https://t.co/F0R6seqjSf

‘Cuz he’s full of shit!!!!

“I have a lot of poop in me”
In case any of you missed Chairman Nadler’s latest ….
Fact
Biz as usual doesn’t cut it when you’re drowning and surrounded by sharks ….
