One day we will find out what Putin has on Trump. I believe it's loaned Russian laundered money through Deutsche Bank that saved Trump's businesses after six bankruptcies in the '90s. It could be something more sinister but in any case Putin has Trump under his thumb, it's beyond obvious.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Anyone smear their feces on the Capitol walls today?

Beat up any cops with flag poles? Use mace or bear spray on them?

At least tell me someone constructed makeshift gallows and threatened to hang the vice president?

No?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news.

Yโ€™all suck at political discourse.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. Theyโ€™ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally โ€” almost certainly incomplete โ€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

The last time the government shut down was because Congress wouldn't pay for Trump's wall - you know, the one he said Mexico was going to pay for.

Trump Is The 'Born Criminal' He Claims Baltimore Children Are In this op-ed, Dr. Stacey Patton outlines the hypocrisy of Trump saying Baltimore children are "born to be criminals" as he ignores his family history.

Worth a read.
"Trump is the clearest proof youโ€™ll ever find of someone born into crime. Not โ€œself-made,โ€ not โ€œsuccessful,โ€ but the spoiled spawn of a pimp, a Klansman landlord, and a family tree fertilized with fraud. He didnโ€™t learn crime on the streets of Baltimore..."

I wrote about the groypers and the Fuentes-Kirk fight years ago, in Hate in the Homeland. Cautioning here that there is still a lot to know about the shooterโ€™s motivation, Iโ€™m sharing these two paragraphs here to set the history of this fight in context:

โ€œWe must do what they fearโ€”tell the truth, spread the truth. This is the most powerful weapon against this regime of liars, thieves, and hypocrites" - Alexei Navalny. He was talking about Putin, but draw your own conclusions.

Nothing says โ€œtough on Russiaโ€ like giving Putin a red carpet, an air show, and a bro hug.

Trump had been helping Putin since he returned.

Arms to Ukraine were stopped.

Voice of America was shutdown.

USAID was terminated.

US Anti Hacking and Counter Hacking operations against Russia were shutdown.

Trump publicly attacked Zelensky at the White House.

โ€ฆ

Trump works for Putin!

The Frail Scottish Widow Who Defeated Donald Trump's Bullying And Abuse - Dorset Eye As Donald Trump prepares yet another self-congratulatory visit to Scotlandโ€”no doubt to ramble about his imaginary Scottish roots and the supposed success of his golf developmentsโ€”itโ€™s time we remember...

Hannity 2019: I have zero doubt that Russia meddled in the 2016 electionโ€ฆIโ€™m certain they did. Devin Nunes was warning Obama in 2014
