Trump National Archives deleting evidence of immigrant death and sexual abuse.
“Vital information is actually being deleted or destroyed,
so that no one—neither the press and government watchdogs today, nor historians tomorrow—will have a chance to see it.” (Dr. Matthew Connelly)
(https://www.colorlines.com/articles/read-why-history-may-never-tell-truth-about-ice)
Why History May Never Tell The Truth About ICE.”
Connelly says that archivists at The National Archives have allowed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to delete evidence of immigrant deaths and sexual abuse at the southern border
The Trump administration, along with The National Archives,
poses a threat “to our nation’s capacity to protect and learn from history.”
–so predictable.
Not only ICE history is being deleted:
“Connelly notes that ICE isn’t the only agency given a green light from the National Archives to delete parts of history: The U.S. Department of the Interior and the National Archives have decided to delete files on endangered species, offshore drilling inspections and the safety of drinking water. The department even claimed that papers from a case where it mismanaged Native American land and assets—resulting in a multibillion-dollar legal settlement—would be of no interest to future historians (or anyone else).”
–FASCISM: Erasing and re-writng the past.
We must keep remembering:
Trump brownshirts have not kept records of the identities of all the children stolen, right from the beginning
of the illegal separations. They’ve continued to separate children despite the court orders to desist.
Girls were shipped off around the country, some by plane until airlines starting objecting. We saw photos of lines of girls traipsing across NY in the dark of the night to shelters without explanation.

Trump is RIDDLED with financial scandals and crimes….
It will be Trump’s turn soon enough.
“There was no doubt that Deutsche Bank had extensive business dealings with Russia, and those dealings included acting as a conduit for dirty money to get out of Russia and into the western financial system,” David Enrich writes in “Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump, and an Epic Trail of Destruction.”
Really hard to think of a collection of individuals less deserving of presidential intervention than Joe Arpaio, Scooter Libby, Dinesh D’Souza, Conrad Black, Bernie Kerik, Rod Blagojevich, and Michael Milken, plus a handful of right wing arsonists and war criminals.

Yes Trump and Barr are krapping on us and endangering us:
imo our “pre-fascist moment” is being used by Doom’s handlers, and corporations foreign & domestic
who are OK with giving Trump total control…as long he gives them a free pass.
“The issue of fascism,
whether in its classic or current form, thus goes beyond right-wing politics…
the question of “the “jumping (off) place” that marks the qualitative break between liberal democracy and
fascism (and today neoliberalism and fascism).
The complete development of a fascist state, understood as a historical process,
requires a seizure of the state apparatus in its totality; and therefore the elimination of any real separation of powers between the various parts,
in the interest of a larger struggle for national as well as world dominance.
Hence, upon securing a beachhead in the government, particularly the executive, fascist interests have historically employed semi-legal means, brutality, propaganda, and intimidation as a means of integration,
with big capital looking to the other way or even providing direct support.”
(John Bellamy Foster)
“Here it is vital to understand that fascism is not in any sense a more political aberration or anomaly,
but has historically been one of two major made of political management adopted by ruling classes to advance capitalist states.” (John Bellamy Foster)
“In a complete fascist takeover, the already incomplete protections to individuals offered by liberal democracy are more or less eliminated, along with the various forces of political opposition.”
“”The political forces in power aim at what Nazi ideology called a “totalitarian state” organized around the executive, while the basic structure remains untouched.”
“The aim of the state in these circumstance is to repress and discipline the population white protecting and promoting capitalist property relations, profits and accumulation, and laying the basis for imperial expansion.”

Today NPR was all about Bloomberg who has not yet been in the trenches, has not been in a single debate.
While Warren – of course a woman who has more than paid her dues – was magically disappeared.
O’Donnell pointed out last night that a key poll left her name out entirely (and so he left the poll out).
Bloomberg represents big money, and big money gets to do whatever it wants apparently with the DNC.
–Is it a kind of gamble that Bloomberg loses…and then we get to fight on with his promised cash?
“Nominating Michael Bloomberg would be a disaster for public schools –
and for the Democrats’ chances at beating Donald Trump in 2020. Because when it comes to education policy, it is virtually impossible to tell the two billionaire politicians apart.
Like Trump and his inept Secretary of Education Betsy Devos, Bloomberg is a fervent backer of privatizing and dismantling public schools across the country.” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/feb/17/michael-bloomberg-education-reforms-public-schools)
“Education, in their view, should be run like a business.”
–and we know how successful Benito is at that.
Harry Reid tells me he has a message for Democratic candidates quietly worried that Bernie will run away the nomination: “If you don't like what Bernie's doing, speak up.” https://t.co/h0HciOdUCv via @BW
I agree with Harry Reid. I keep saying that Sanders has not been vetted as much as the other candidates, He definitely has baggage. Folks started vetted VP Biden before he even entered the race. Sanders has been in congress for a ton of years. How much has he accomplished. What is he hiding? Why won’t he show his medical records?
He also is spreading money around and hiring a ton of black consultants and organizers that these other campaigns overlooked or just refused to hire. Especially black male campaign staff. This is going to important down the stretch
Trump hands out get out of jail free cards, scholarships and envelopes filled with money to black voters. Bloomberg is hiring guys off of Craigslist for $6,500 a month so they can take care of their families and pay off debt. You cannot underestimate how much that matters
In the end, Bloomberg is terrible for many reasons, but his campaign, investing in black staff on the ground, media, and influencers, is actually a very good model for other Democrats to follow, and you don't have to be a billionaire to do it
The way Bernie Sanders lied about releasing his medical reports and the way his people are dodging the issue makes me think Bernie Sanders is a very sick man.
Prisoners are being let out of their cells by an unhinged man wearing clown paint, and a flawed billionaire may be our only hope of stopping him. We’re living in the worst Batman sequel of all time.
This is big. 11th circuit rules that Florida can't force released prisoners to pay fines to vote.

Trump post-impeachment is a threat to America…
Congresswomen Maxine Waters to Joy Reid:
“He is going to get revenge.
He is going to show you that there are no limits to the presidential power.
And you know while everybody’s talking about the commutations and the he pardons, the clemency and all of that…he is going to wreak revenge…and then he is going to put Putin right in our face.
He is going to bring him to the White House. He is gonna say ‘be damned!’ to Congress of the United States,
‘I’m gonna do whatever I want to do’.
So we’ve got to have to turn out people who understand that he’s dangerous, that he doesn’t care about the Constitution. We’ve got to organize, and we’ve got to turn out the vote.
We’ve got to vote him out of office.”
REP. MAXINE WATERS:
“He will pardon Manafort. He will lift all the sanctions from Russia.
He will be even more involved with the oligarchs of Russia. And he’s going bring Putin to the White House.
I believe that. IF he is re-elected. But we’ve got to make sure…those of us who really respect and care about the Constitution, and know that Russia has hacked into our Democratic National Committee,
and to our state election systems, and we are knowing very well that they are going to do it again in this election: We’ve got to work hard to make sure that they don’t get away with it, that we don’t have this president who will carry out that kind of agenda if he is elected.
We’ve got to make sure that the man is not elected again.”
Donald is being enabled by ‘AG’ Barr, a monarchist giving this illegitimate president Absolute power:
Trump:
“Just so you understand, I chose not to be involved. I am allowed to be totally involved. I am actually the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the country but I’ve chosen not be involved.”
(3 big doom lies)
REP. MAXINE WATERS:
“The American people should be focused on Barr,
and we should be joining with all of those federal prosecutors who have decided that he should step down, that he should resign. We should be supporting them. We should be backing them up.
And I’m anxious to see what all of these federal judges who have decided they can’t wait until their yearly association meeting, that they should pay attention to what’s going on now and review what has happened. I’m anxious to see what they’re going to come out with.
But the American public should get behind this if they care anything about our democracy.
You know for all of those people who say that they honor the flag, and say that they’re in support of our democracy being…where are you? Can’t they see what is happening?
We’re in a constitutional crisis in this country, with a president who is running amuck. He is out of control and we’ve got to make sure that he’s not re-elected.
We’ve got to speak up! We’ve got to resist!”
REP. MAXINE WATERS:
“I don’t hear enough voices!
It is not only the sycophants around him – it’s your average American who gets up every day, who is going to work, who is taking of their families, who is thinking somebody else is going to see to it
that this president is not re-elected.
But no, it’s got to be ALL of us out there working – and working very hard.
We have a constitutional crisis and we’ve got to deal with it, and this is what democracy is all about.
When you see a president out of control. When you see those who have been elected to office who are not acting responsibly and they’re endangering our democracy, you’ve got to speak out against them,
you’ve got to work against them and you’ve got to make sure that they’re not re-elected ever again.”
NEW from me: Bernie Sanders was so close to running a primary against Obama for re-election that Harry Reid had to step in to stop him https://t.co/rBLxC5WLqQ
STOP listening…watching the polls…they are like self-fulfilling prophesy…these are the same polls/pollsters who drove Kamala Harris out of the race…who erased Julian Castro…Pres Obama said never to pay attention to polls…just keep moving forward…
Bloomberg‘s strategy here is not dissimilar to the tactics used by autocrats like Bolsonaro in Brazil and Modi in India. I’m struggling to understand how anyone is comfortable with a candidate who is comfortable doing this. https://t.co/0O5FsJoShFhttps://t.co/9F0sexg4cJ
Unfortunately. Bloomberg’s money is already working for him. Could not believe that I saw Rep Rush on Joy’s show promoting Bloomberg. Also other Black Caucus members have endorsed him.
Please realize that candidates who choose not to receive all the Big Corporate cash
WILL be under attack of every possible kind
by those same
corporations.
These corporations can afford to pay Whatever the
smearing,
swift boating,
and lying costs.
Just pre-ordered. We need to take a hard look at how this happened, why it’s taking us so long to demand that the Trump administration end it & how we’re going to fix it. Glad @jacobsoboroff, whose coverage from the border was so instrumental in exposing it, has written this. https://t.co/ijkSmVVYWQ

I’m trying to boost my sweetness intake today, so luckily I found this from a few days ago! Also love how the little boy knew exactly who President Barack Obama was!
Thanks for sharing this my friend Jacqueline.
You are welcome, my friend COS! ❤
Meanwhile….back in PA-BATTLEGROUND STATE….
Trump post-impeachment is a threat to America…
Congresswomen Maxine Waters to Joy Reid:
“He is going to get revenge.
He is going to show you that there are no limits to the presidential power.
And you know while everybody’s talking about the commutations and the he pardons, the clemency and all of that…he is going to wreak revenge…and then he is going to put Putin right in our face.
He is going to bring him to the White House. He is gonna say ‘be damned!’ to Congress of the United States,
‘I’m gonna do whatever I want to do’.
So we’ve got to have to turn out people who understand that he’s dangerous, that he doesn’t care about the Constitution. We’ve got to organize, and we’ve got to turn out the vote.
We’ve got to vote him out of office.”
REP. MAXINE WATERS:
“He will pardon Manafort. He will lift all the sanctions from Russia.
He will be even more involved with the oligarchs of Russia. And he’s going bring Putin to the White House.
I believe that. IF he is re-elected. But we’ve got to make sure…those of us who really respect and care about the Constitution, and know that Russia has hacked into our Democratic National Committee,
and to our state election systems, and we are knowing very well that they are going to do it again in this election: We’ve got to work hard to make sure that they don’t get away with it, that we don’t have this president who will carry out that kind of agenda if he is elected.
We’ve got to make sure that the man is not elected again.”
Donald is being enabled by ‘AG’ Barr, a monarchist giving this illegitimate president Absolute power:
Trump:
“Just so you understand, I chose not to be involved. I am allowed to be totally involved. I am actually the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the country but I’ve chosen not be involved.”
(3 big doom lies)
REP. MAXINE WATERS:
“The American people should be focused on Barr,
and we should be joining with all of those federal prosecutors who have decided that he should step down, that he should resign. We should be supporting them. We should be backing them up.
And I’m anxious to see what all of these federal judges who have decided they can’t wait until their yearly association meeting, that they should pay attention to what’s going on now and review what has happened. I’m anxious to see what they’re going to come out with.
But the American public should get behind this if they care anything about our democracy.
You know for all of those people who say that they honor the flag, and say that they’re in support of our democracy being…where are you? Can’t they see what is happening?
We’re in a constitutional crisis in this country, with a president who is running amuck. He is out of control and we’ve got to make sure that he’s not re-elected.
We’ve got to speak up! We’ve got to resist!”
REP. MAXINE WATERS:
“I don’t hear enough voices!
It is not only the sycophants around him – it’s your average American who gets up every day, who is going to work, who is taking of their families, who is thinking somebody else is going to see to it
that this president is not re-elected.
But no, it’s got to be ALL of us out there working – and working very hard.
We have a constitutional crisis and we’ve got to deal with it, and this is what democracy is all about.
When you see a president out of control. When you see those who have been elected to office who are not acting responsibly and they’re endangering our democracy, you’ve got to speak out against them,
you’ve got to work against them and you’ve got to make sure that they’re not re-elected ever again.”
THREAD…….
I sincerely HOPE and PRAY.🙏🏽🙏🏽..that Biden ,,,with our help is able to pull Out the nomination
Ms. Jean Carroll seeks DNA to prove Trump rape accusation:
“If Trump’s motion fails,
the president may be required
to submit a DNA sample,
most likely from a swab inside his cheek,
according to court filings.”

Disbar.The.Fixer.

Another one trying to buy a Presidency
Unfortunately. Bloomberg’s money is already working for him. Could not believe that I saw Rep Rush on Joy’s show promoting Bloomberg. Also other Black Caucus members have endorsed him.
Please realize that candidates who choose not to receive all the Big Corporate cash
WILL be under attack of every possible kind
by those same
corporations.
These corporations can afford to pay Whatever the
smearing,
swift boating,
and lying costs.
Heartbreaking
New post.
