   THREAD

   The Kremlin's push to elect Trump had the removal of sanctions as a key goal, and the motivation for the GOP Senators visit was the same — aiming at extending the mutually beneficial kleptocracy that the Trump team, the Kremlin, and its mobbed-up interlopers have consolidated.

    OOPS! Straight humiliates Trump and Pompeo

    Trump, June 13: “There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea."

    North Korea, today: “US is fundamentally mistaken to think that the demands that reflect their ‘robber mentality’ are acceptable to our patience”.

    Donald Trump’s day so far:

    – Kim Jong Un deal implodes
    – North Korea humiliates Pompeo
    – Trump wants newspapers banned from Twitter
    – Immigrant kids still locked in cages
    – No clue how to reunite families
    – Put this Trump bastard on trial
    – Lock him up!
    – It’s still only 3:45pm

    If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a bad back, acne, are pregnant, or have another pre-existing condition – this isn’t politics. This is your life and your health. R’s want to make it expensive or impossible to be insured. You gotta vote, and pass it on! Please!

    One thing we must find out is who issued the order to ICE to destroy records linking children to parents. That person is guilty of a crime against humanity, as are all who followed the order.

    Today, I had a call with HHS and am extremely disappointed with the lack of information they gave to Members of Congress. They refuse to answer our questions. They do not have a concrete plan to reunite these families. I am growing more concerned for the future of these children.

    1. 60% of people being deported right now are Haitian
    2. There are black Mexicans
    3. Even if black people weren’t being deported there’s nothing wrong with standing up for what’s right

      You stop them in their tracks because every violation of human rights that you tolerate leads to another more horrific violation. These things escalate, they do not recede until the abusers are stripped of power.
