Just let this have been 44 getting $2 from ANY foreign government, and Fox News would have been doing an EMOLUMENTS CLAUSE course in every segment.
And, let’s be clear – this is about the EMOLUMENTS CLAUSE…
The Constitution was ready for someone like Dolt45. What the Founding Fathers never saw coming was that one political party would throw their lot in with TRAITORS and betray their Oath of Office.
But, these foreign governments want SOMETHING from Dolt45, and we have a right to know what American policies have been affected because of these BRIBES.
Reps of 22 foreign governments have spent money at Trump properties
The number of foreign governments hints at a significant foreign cash flow to the U.S. president that critics say violates the Constitution.
June 12, 2019, 3:30 AM CDT
By Shelby Hanssen and Ken Dilanian
WASHINGTON — Representatives of at least 22 foreign governments appear to have spent money at Trump Organization properties, an NBC News review has found, hinting at a significant foreign cash flow to the American president that critics say violates the U.S. Constitution.
The extent and amount of foreign spending at Trump’s hotels, golf clubs and restaurants is not known, because the Trump Organization is a private company and declines to disclose that information. Trump promised to donate any profits from foreign governments, and the Trump Organization has sent $343,000 to the U.S. Treasury for 2017 and 2018. The company did not release underlying numbers to support that figure.
Amid two lawsuits accusing Trump of accepting illegal foreign payments, NBC News sought to compile the most comprehensive possible list of foreign spending at Trump properties based on information in the public record. In June 2018, a report by the watchdog group Public Citizen came up with 10 foreign governments that had spent money at Trump venues. More information has since become public.
A spokeswoman for the Trump Organization did not respond to a request for comment by NBC News.

Ta-Nehisi Coates dismantles Mitch McConnell’s excuse for opposing reparations on live TV
“For a century after the Civil War, black people were subjected to a relentless campaign of terror, a campaign that extended well into the lifetime of Mitch McConnell.”

Connie Schultz (wife of formerly aspiring presidential hopeful Sherrod Brown) …Pfffft..
Connie Schultz was one of the most hostile, spiteful, malicious and racist against my historic FLOTUS… But suddenly she now wants to pretend to care about ‘racism’..
Ha!
Can’t make some of this stuff up..
Hey Chicas! Your thoughts? Help me out here, y’all.
I asked someone yesterday, do you think there’d be police reform if Joe Biden becomes president? I asked because Joe Biden is an old white man who still have hang ups about crimes committed is mostly done by black people. I’m trying to sort this thing out & it’s troubling for me.
I dunno SG2, but, it’s more than fair for people to press this issue. This is an absolute REAL issue. And, if he wants for people to get past the ‘history’ of the 1994 Crime Bill, then he’s going to have to act like he understands the anger and real demands that we expect in 2019. Without a clear cut plan, and verbalization of said plan, this is an issue. And, it’s real. And, it’s called vetting. And, it’s something that WE have the right to demand from a Democratic Party Nominee.
Same as Rikyrah. But I would say that if he goes for too long without addressing it, then there is reason for concern.
Also, Julian Castro is rapidly becoming my favorite candidate (possibly a curse because my favorites never seem to win).
But here’s the thing. He’s willing to step up and speak to controversial issues, the kinds of issues (such as police brutality) that Democrats are terrified to make a stand on because of the “white working class”.
So what does that say about Julian Castro? It says a lot more than he’s willing to take on controversial issues. It says something about his character, judgement, compassion, and ability to lead.
I am sick of spineless wimps. How many people are supposed to die or be maimed by cops until we collectively decide it’s too many? How many videos do we need? How much evidence must be collected? How many graves have to be dug? How many families devastated?
Castro realizes that the time has come for this to be put front and center.
For the love of God! Stop messing things up, Joe Biden. He just won’t stop!

Forgiveness Is a White Privilege
Michael Harriot
Yesterday 5:30pm
If only black people would accept personal responsibility for their actions and teach their children how to behave better, then we wouldn’t have all this controversy. Geraldo Rivera even explained that the children killed by police brutality were actually committing “urban suicide” and proposed that—instead of protesting by wearing an “I Can’t Breathe” t-shirt—Lebron James could help solve the problem by wearing a “Raise Your Children” tee.
Yes, he actually said that.
On television.
They believe this, too. After all, the religion of right can see God’s grace in America’s spacious skies, her purple mountains’ majesty and her liberty and justice for all. This is a country that gives everyone what they deserve, and if you fall short, then it must be your fault.
Unless you are white.
If you are white, then America is the land of “second chances”—especially if you are a white child. Simply by being born with white skin, this sweet land of liberty a bequeaths you an endless supply of mulligans.
Take, for instance, the case of Kyle Kashuv, who survived the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman-Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., became a conservative, pro-gun advocate and was subsequently accepted to Harvard University.
The Root’s Dara Sharif writes:
The news immediately riled up the entire class of conservative punditry. The New York Times’ Caucasian apologist editorial staff rang the alarm and dispatched columnist David Brooks to explain why this innocent little sayer-of-racist-shit should be excused from his actions.
Yes…keep pressing.
THIS is vetting. And, it needs to be done.
This isn’t a cheap shot.

Dunno if you saw Maddow last night. She went through all the problems in Shanahan’s private life concerning domestic violence.
some were slamming Maddow for being so specific about what the problems were with Shanahan.
Her point..is WHY would we ever have a SECRETARY OF DEFENSE that could be blackmailable!
I was like, THANK YOU RACHEL for asking the damn question.
These people have all this ridiculousness in their lives, and STILL think that they’re ‘ ENTITLED’ to a high government position.
No, you’re not.
I wanna know how the muthaphucka GOT A SECURITY CLEARANCE, because he wouldn’t have made it through the process in any previous Administration.
And, then, marinate on that. I’m asking how the ACTING SECRETARY OF DEFENSE GOT A SECURITY CLEARANCE!
WHAT.THE.PHUCK.

Rachel Maddow reads highlights from a scathing editorial in the Orlando Sentinel in which the paper explains that while it is not yet ready to make a 2020 presidential endorsement, it is more than ready to make an anti-endorsement: not Donald Trump.
Trump vetting carelessness missed high level security risk
Aaron Davis, investigative reporter for the Washington Post, talks with Rachel Maddow about the tragic family story that now-former Donald Trump acting secretary of defense, Patrick Shanahan had hoped to keep secret but still became public even as the White House failed to do vetting that would have discovered it.
Another Trump W.H. vetting failure ends in scandal, resignation
Rachel Maddow reports on the resignation of Donald Trump’s acting secretary of defense, Patrick Shanahan, and the disturbing trend of domestic violence-related scandals in the Trump White House as apparently no vetting is done of nominees to high level positions.

Media needs to also stop with the stole/shoplifted rubbish..
4 year old babies do not ‘steal’ or ‘shoplift’..
We all know very well that had this been a family of another race, the media would’ve reported it as harmlessly and cutely as ‘baby left the store with a toy they were playing with’..
