11,000 Kurds died fighting for Aleppo (for the U.S.) so Americans didn't have to die.
Kurds are the guys who "defeated" ISIS for us.
Kurds are holding 10,000 ISIS prisoners of war.
Kurds fought in Iraq for the same reasons.
Kurds fought for us in the 70's Iranian Shaw period.
I just started reading the IG report (whistleblower re: non-use of generic drugs) in Trump’s White House that uncovered a prescription drug ring.
I am blown away that this isn’t the number one story in the country!
Screenshots from just the first two pages. Laws were broken.
Trump owed NJ $30 million in back taxes. Then Chris Christy was elected governor and dropped it to $5 million.
Christy gave Trump $25 million dollars and worked Trump's campaign, then Trump told him to f*ck off and didn't give him an appointment.
Trump standing at border: "20...30 Navy Seals couldn't climb this wall! It's unclimbable even to a pole vaulter..."
Desperate refugees: "Hold my Horchata..."
@realDonaldTrump
Billions in taxpayers’ hard earned money....for Trump’s phallic symbol. This will stop women and children...not the young criminals.
PS; the wall won’t be hot at night and there’s this awesome new discovery called GLOVES 🙄
Biden should start saying that if SCOTUS says presidents have immunity he will
*void all student loans
*raise minimum wage to $25 and
*declare elections null and void the next day.
That’ll do it.
Reporter: What are you going to talk to the president about? Do you think you can help get something on Ukraine..
Johnson: We have a lot of things to discuss, talk to him frequently. So I look forward to seeing him in person.
They sent my granddaughter home from school out of state bc one on the staff tested positive. “She doesn’t have it, though.”
Home 1 day w parents/brother/sister and granddad w very real pre-existing respiratory illness. Within 24 hours she had stuffy nose, tested positive in 48.
I'm starting to become nauseous whenever I hear the president's voice.
HE lied on the WH lawn again this morning. A lot.
He's making up a bizarre narrative with false timelines and outright fantasy.
Why do I watch? Somebody has to write the history books.
Now the entire family who has been carefully locked down is in various states of quarantine, based on contact with my granddaughter over the last 48 hours.
She kept clear of granddad, but what does that really mean inside an old house?
Fuck all these Republican motherfuckers.
Trump when asked to address his closing down the CDC'S Pandemic preparation unit: "I just think it's a nasty question."
Guess what gender and color the journalist was?
True story: I’ve aspired to own a Tesla for years, since I bought my first hybrid (Prius) in 2003. Still drive a Prius, not my first.
I am currently electric vehicle shopping. Musk has proven to be such an asshole that Tesla is the only vehicle I absolutely will not consider.
Popadopoulos Congressional campaign lasted as long as it took for a clerk to look at the form as he handed it over. “Checkbox 6 says you’re a felon and to stop filling out the form...”
Zuck met with Trump 2 weeks ago. Facebook changed their policy "enforcement" to allow more outright lies in Trump's political ads.
Trump reportedly spends $1.6 million/week on misinformation psyops "advertisement."
$1,600,000 per week on disinformation propaganda .
RNC is down
Paul Manafort brought Pence into the Trump campaign. Manafort owed oligarch $17 million, asked what to do to get ‘whole’...erase the debt.
Now he is in jail.
Pence is going down.
Cash to Republican Senators weeks before trial.
Death threats to Republican Senators during trial.
By the President of the United States. "Heads on pikes" means something.
"Take her out" means something.
They are well-known phrases to the American people.
#ImpeachedForLife
BREAKING: EVERYONE SAW THIS COMING:
"Crimson Contagion" was the code name for a Federal Government war-gamed training operation last year...UNDER TRUMP...that proved nobody here is ready for a big pandemic event.
They classified and buried the results.
@markhendy
Fun story: I worked with the guy who discovered chlorofluorocarbons destroy ozone. DuPont worked tirelessly to discredit him/the science for decades until they invented an alternative.
That alternative has slowed things down for decades.
My co-worker won a Nobel Prize for it.
This has always been a giant question, and it’s a real one.
Kavanaugh was more that $200,000 in debt right up until he was “nominated” to replace Trump’s Duetschbanker’s dad Justice Kennedy. All settled magically. Not the first time!!
Dead serious.
Who paid off Brett Kavanaugh’s $92,000 country club fees plus his $200,000 credit card debt plus his $1.2 million mortgage, and purchased themselves a SCOTUS seat?

When doctors stand behind Trump while he’s telling people to poison themselves and then refuse to speak honestly about how the human body reacts when caustic agents are introduced, are they DOING NO HARM?
@SenLouiseLucas
The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Democrats would include all veterans to a veterans center, not just the ones who said they will vote for them.
Driving along, listening to Trump's lawyer lawyers telling me "400,000 Americans are off SNAP, school lunches (blah blah)" when listing his accomplishments...
I heard them saying "We defunded/cancelled the programs that helped poor people a little bit because they are takers."
So everybody is going to just accept Trump saying $7.8 million* is very little money? Because it’s a shit-ton to me and everybody I’ve ever met.
*that he took from foreign governments while president:
Mass migration to Kentucky seems like our only chance to save us from McConnell’s criminal cabal and their Russian overlords. There’s only a 28|day residency to be able to vote.
A month long work party at somebody’s KY ranch would do it?
Collins announcing the quiet part out loud: “This was my price for Trump’s no-witness circus trial.”
Mainers aren’t moronic enough to fall for the bribe...hook, line and sinker...are they?
Great news! 19 Housing Authorities in Maine have been awarded more than $9.5 million to preserve & modernize affordable housing units that serve individuals with disabilities & low-income individuals and families.
Watch this straight-up checklist for journalistic integrity in democracies, for reals,
@sarahkendzior
’s a Ph.D. and her focus of study was former Soviet Union totalitarian states.
None of this is new, it’s all been seen a hundred times before. That’s why we need to be reminded.
So I guess it's good to point out that not all schools wld have a Summer Break and would be "going back" this month/next month in any case. "Returning in the Fall" isn't a thing anymore...it's a remnant from an earlier time.
"Returning after the pandemic" is the only thing now.
Only a Trump would feel they gave up their life for something while they are alive...let alone while making $125 million a year and getting Chinese patents...while not having a job other than sit in daddy's chair and awkward cocktail receptions at Davos.
Digital photographs contain hidden data called ‘exif’ data, aka “metadata.” THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN 10 MINUTES APART, staged to appear as if...and presented as proof...they were taken over a much longer period of time.
Exif data can be changed, they didn’t even bother or care.
@Nightmusics
It’s just so...disheartening. They’ve all ban locked down since dad lost his trucking/construction materials job in his family business along w the rest.
Americans are living in the stressful, painful, cruel and deadly bubble created by monsters who call themselves CONSERVATIVE
Mnuchin has great news, everybody! You *might* get a $1200 check, in "about three weeks."
Ppl have already been home 2 weeks. *Nobody* I know could survive 5 weeks with $1200...especially at the END of the 5 weeks.
And maybe no check at all.
$1200 is a weekend at a Trump hotel
If Baghdadi is dead, it happened a long time ago and not by US forces.
Don’t fall for Trump’s stagecraft bullshit.
This is to distract from the fact he’s sending heavy armored units to Syria. Tanks, mechanics, transport/helicopters and *those* mechanics, fuel and equipment...
@sarahchad_
Think about:
1) Watch for the scammer scumbags who will be coming after the money...offering to host events, etc. Don't trust people you don't know.
2) Hire a tax attorney to advise what to do with funding, and set up a SuperPAC.
3) Get a good attorney to review any contracts.
OK, ppl are being nice...the photo is...exaggerated.
To be fair and honest, here’s the photo this one was photoshopped from. The idol is real and at CPAC, though, and so are the evangelicals.
The Fed is printing money because no other country trusts us enough to give us loans at decent interest rates. And they would be morons to trust us ever again.
THIS IS SUPER SCARY. The USA is having trouble funding the USA $TRILLION deficit, because no one wants to buy USA Treasuries at low interest rates. So the Federal Reserve is having to buy them. They are doing it "secretly" through the repo market so not to cause a panic.
Wild applause as Schiff adjourned today's hearing and just got up amid Republicans "blah blah..." and the whole place exploded into a standing ovation! A long one.
I have never heard applause like that in Congressional testimony! I'm sure it happens, but it was perfect today.
I don’t understand why China gets upset bc we refer to the virus that originated there the ”Chinese virus” Spain never got upset when we referred to the Spanish flu in 1918&1919
Trump: "I don't know those guys I'm in photos with, I have pictures with *everybody*..."
For the record: There is no photo of Trump and me together at the same time.
Is that weird?
This is the Quantitative Easing (QE) thing I posted about last month. The reason “the market/economy is doing great” is Trump just keeps printing fake money to replace the real money the top 10% keep putting in their pockets.
Trump bk’s everything

@SenatorCollins
You personally ruined America for all future generations, hypocrite. It is IMPOSSIBLE to understate your personal politics of destruction, lady.
You did this, will be held accountable. Meet Ben Ferencz, who held people like you accountable the last time.

- Please do investigations into Trump and the scapegoating of brown people, especially by putting them in cages where some die.
This guy knows what he's talking about and he's pretty upset.

I think readers will see this theme after a while from most Californians.
"Keep your ICE, and everything else, we'll keep and use the tax money right here, and become a leading world economy with more clout then the United States."
Just alluding to it should be enough…”Can you imagine the great things I will be able to get done to help the American people once SCOTUS says I’m immune from any retribution for doing so?!”
@washingtonpost
Jesus, people, can’t you add “which is impossible because only 12% of Texans are black.”
Or “At 31 PERCENT, Texas has the largest number of evangelical Protestants…the largest unvaccinated group in America”
It’s so easy to not be sh*tty.
This is the bobblehead doctor not bothering to hold back on her condescending smirk while speaking condescendingly to the American people about the contemporaneous pandemic just unfolding and the gov't coverup of same...not actually saying anything meaningful or helpful at all.
Trump: I was supposed to be in a different state this morning and the judge actually decided to call it early…. I’m not allowed to have anything to do with politics because I’m sitting in a very freezing cold courtroom. It’s very unfair
What Are Republicans running on in 2020? B/C it's not:
*Protecting children from gun violence
*Family Values
*Conservativism
*Fiscal responsibility
*Improving Health Care
*Western Values
*Moral High Ground
*Humanity
*Christianity
or a million other things.
It's just "TRUMP."
@RichardEngel
I am Destroyed.
Barr and Pompeo made ultra-right-wing over the top “It’s because people don’t love Jesus like Trump does” declarations today while green lighting the country he owns the most businesses in start heads rolling in Syria.
R Senators and congressmen sit and watch.
Florida got 100% of the supplies they asked for. Colorado got 0% a couple of others (Maine and another) got about 18% of what we need.
He sent 170 ventilators to California, all broken.
The president's lawyer blatantly lied, several times, while addressing a trial jury in a court under the authority of the Chief Justice of SCOTUS.
This could still go either way, but IF Justice Roberts lets multiple lies upon lies stand without even mentioning, the fix seems in.
I flipped to trial. 15 seconds of “Dems should have waited for a court to decide if Congress has the constitutional oversight and impeachment powers specifically laid out IN THE FIRST ARTICLE OF THE CONSTITUTION...”
Done and done. Can’t watch. What is the Republicans’ end game?
Growth is a "byproduct?" What, praytell, is the *product*?
I am not all that smart, but I know big words when they aren't in the right places.

Mnuchin said humans have to become more productive before any specific corporation could even *think* about paying them more. My jaw dropped.
So it looks like California can't stop felons from running to represent us. I'll assume Federal laws allow spies, pedophiles, rapists, rapists, homophobics and Russian assets are also A-OK for federal offices.
Some messed up stuff right there.
So now Republicans just stormed into the impeachment inquiry SCIF with their (prohibited) electronics and everything! Ghomert is yelling and this is really suddenly like Gestapo-level action *for real*.
Republicans don't think they are subject to laws anymore.
More than two dozen House conservatives rail on Schiff and the process outside the closed impeachment proceedings, and have now entered the SCIF - and they are bound to be kicked out bc they don’t serve on the three committees conducting the probe. It is being led by Matt Gaetz
1984 was about the year Reagan and Gingrich killed the ‘Fairness Doctrine’ that gave equal time to opposing voices on FCC airwaves.
“1984,” the title of George Orwell’s 1949 book about a dystopian world where the government run media is a well produced smokescreen.
Coincidence?
@MattGlassman312
We've been waiting for this day for *years*, dude. People can't go to work. Or theaters. Or restaurants. Or malls.
We're gonna vote like there's no tomorrow. To ensure there is a tomorrow.
Footage from the U.S. Embassy compound shows mob madness after "Iraqi Security Forces" didn't act to stop them from entering and personnel are hiding in safe-rooms while fires are burning all around them and Republicans are blaming Iran...this seems *SO* familiar...can't quite...
The Trump administration is accusing Democrats of being 'Bullies'.
The people who:
Steal and cage PoC children, killing some
Are suing to kill ACA
Banned Muslims
Put guns *into* classrooms
Take $30+ million from Russia via NRA
Are white as rice...
are calling people bullies.
