@glenn_tunes Money going to the Board of Peace (and it's chairman tRump) is not being sent to a World Bank account, it's being sent to a private JP Morgan account and the names of the owners of the account are being kept secret. Even Rubio is questioning who controls this account.

@JoyceWhiteVance @Mpolymer “When will the GOP have had enough?”. Not until Trump is no longer in power. Republicans fear Trump for his ability to damage them while their greed & self-interest makes them willing to disgrace themselves in support of him. This “sickness” is not going away anytime soon 👇

Republicans SCREAMED their stupid fucking heads off for weeks about how the ALLEGATIONS against Platner disqualified him, but now they’ve got a guy accused by his Republican Senator ex-father in law of ABUSING his wife and toddler daughter and suddenly they’re silent???

[Marc @Marc_Kenyon]

@AdamKinzinger I'm thinking the private conversations went something like Collins saying "I'm in a tough election and a yes vote here is going to kill me". Leadership saying "will do a head count and see if we need you". Later "all is clear for you to vote no".

This is INSANELY irresponsible, and will be used to promulgate disinformation

United & Delta donated $1M → Trump ended flight cancelation compensation rules.

TurboTax parent donated $1M → Trump killed free tax filing.

Toyota donated $1M → Trump canceled CFPB refund order for overcharged borrowers.

It’s a pattern of corruption that costs you money.

@Angry_Staffer Trump is remaking America is his own image. The 2nd Guilded Age is upon us. Everything is gold plated, fake, hollow, overvalued and corrupt.

This is the “golden age” they’ve promised.

Republicans are attacking the administration’s awful Iran deal.

The administration is attacking Israel.

Israel is attacking the administrations awful Iran deal.

The reflecting pool has leprosy.

I was told there would be winning.

Donald Trump ladies and gentlemen.
His first thought is always money, not the American soldiers who'd die in the process...
Such a piece of shit.

BREAKING: SOUNDS OF SILENCE — Senate hearing goes deadly quiet as Trump’s federal judicial nominees REFUSE to admit third term is illegal.
.
Donald Trump is nominating people to lifetime federal judgeships who won't confirm that he can't run for a third term when they come before the Senate for their approval hearings.

Let that sink in.

Senator Chris Coons of Delaware asked what should be the easiest constitutional law question in American history at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week. He asked Trump's judicial nominees about the 22nd Amendment.

The first nominee, John Marck, said that his career had been in criminal prosecution and that he hadn't had occasion to use that particular amendment.

A federal judicial nominee. Unfamiliar with the 22nd Amendment. Seeking a lifetime appointment to interpret the Constitution.

Another candidate eventually offered that it "deals with the two-term limitation." Correct. Gold star.

Coons then asked the simple follow-up: is President Trump eligible to run for president again in 2028?

Marck's response was a masterpiece of evasion: "Without considering all the facts and looking at everything, depending on what the situation is, this to me strikes as more of a hypothetical."

Coons was patient. He walked Marck through it like a kindergarten teacher explaining why you can't eat paste. Has Trump been elected president twice? "President Trump has been certified the President of the United States two times." Is he eligible to run for a third term? "I would have to review the actual wording of it."

A man seeking a lifetime federal judgeship needs to review the actual wording. Of the 22nd Amendment. Which is 61 words long.

Coons then turned to the full panel and asked if anyone — anyone — was willing to simply state that the Constitution of the United States bars Trump from seeking a third term.

A heartbreakingly long silence ensued.

He asked again. Anyone willing to apply the Constitution by its plain language?

More ominous silence.

Nobody. Not one of Trump's judicial nominees would say out loud, under oath, in a Senate hearing, that the 22nd Amendment means what it plainly says.

This isn't ignorance. These are lawyers. They know what the 22nd Amendment says. They know Trump has been talking openly about a third term. And they calculated — correctly, based on what happens to people who cross this president — that telling the constitutional truth was more dangerous than staying silent.

The frightening thing is that these are the people who will be interpreting your rights for the next 30 years.

Please like and share this post if you think federal judges should be willing to say the Constitution means what it says — even when the president doesn't want to hear it.

The Trumps are going after private citizens for mean jokes and seashells.

@EdKrassen ICE goons are bullies. They are like Biff, a hulking, belligerent, dim-witted bully, who torments George McFly in Back to the Future. Everyone who's been to school knows the type, the not very smart classmates who beat up other students for fun because they can.

[gbcomment @gbcomment]

@krassenstein @MalcolmNance It was designated by an act of Congress as a living memorial to President Kennedy following his assassination.

Only a malignant narcissist like Trump would even consider changing the name to put himself on it.

Trump is a real POS.

We're at the stage of fascism where they are threatening to harm states if they don't help them rig elections.
