Rachel Maddow............... It’s crazy that they’re ok with sacrificing American lives just so you can stick it to a few more brown people. i wonder how those in the path of these hurricanes feel about this?

Just edited that the transfer was completed. Rachel Maddow has copies of he papers. ETA: Dem senator releases documents appearing to show DHS diverted $10M from FEMA to ICEBY JOHN BOWDEN - 09/11/18 10:28 PM EDT Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) on Tuesday night released documents appearing to show the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) diverted nearly $10 million from the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The documents, first reported by MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, detail the agency's funding redirections for fiscal year 2018 and show that millions of dollars were diverted to ICE from several agencies. Those diverted funds, totaling $33.1 million, "will provide funding in support of higher priority detention and removal requirements than those for which originally appropriated," according to the documents.
According to MSNBC, Merkely believes the transfer from FEMA to ICE was made this summer. He told Maddow that "it means that just as hurricane season is starting...the administration is working hard to find funds for child detention camps."
"So $10 million dollars comes out of FEMA when we're facing hurricane season, knowing what happened last year, and look what's happened since?" Merkley said, referring to a recent hurricane in the Pacific that largely missed Hawaii, and another, Florence, currently threatening North Carolina and the East Coast. "I find it extraordinary," he added. "It says that money came from response and recovery, right on it."A request for comment to DHS from The Hill was not immediately answered. MSNBC reported that DHS did not dispute the accuracy of the documents when contacted. The Trump administration faced widespread criticism earlier this year for forced separations and detentions of families caused by the administration's zero tolerance immigration policy. News of diverted funds from FEMA also follows a revision of Puerto Rico's official death total from two hurricanes last year from just a few dozen to more than 1,400. thehill.com/homenews/administration/406199-dhs-diverted-nearly-10-million-from-fema-to-ice-ahead-of-hurricane

You know these are the tweets of a person losing their perspective...
trump.
You know who’s at fault for this more than anyone else, Comey, because he leaked information and laundered it through a professor at Columbia Law School. Shame on that professor, and shame on Comey. He snuck the information to a law professor who collaborated with him in........
”giving the information, and causing the appointment of a Special C without having the courage of his own convictions.....” Alan Dershowitz @tuckercarlson In other words, the whole thing was illegally and very unfairly set up?”
Or losing control. Or unhinged. Take your choice.

Trump's actions and words today pisses me off so much. I read and saw and hear and I could feel my body tense. I have never felt such hatred for a person, even someone I actually know as I do him. He is a horrible person. He wasn't at Ground Zero helping and to say he was...I can't even. And then smiling and fist pumping and thumbs upping at memorials...today of all days? When I was in 9th grade we took a trip to DC, being the daughter of a Vietnam Vet it pissed me off the lack of reverence some on our trip showed at the Vietnam Memorial, so much that I threatened them if they didn't shown some decorum. Those were jr high aged girls. You shouldn't have to tell the fucking president that.

You have to go see this thread.. Every week this guy takes a photo for the #photoshop challenge on twitter...Trumps photo was taken today... The corn one had me rolling..even DH laughed. My favorite suggestion so far was to put him in a photo walking into the surf off Cape Fear.

“ I vote every time,” Trump said confidently. “I’ve voted every time since I was 18, 20 years old.”
Something that jumped out at me: 18? 20? But the 26th amendment, lowering the voting age to 18, wasn’t ratified until 1971, seven years after Donald Trump turned 18, five years after he turned 20. Okay, muddy waters; maybe he first voted in 1967 at age 21.... ...but I googled: He first registered to vote in 19 87 when he was 41 years old. What a ding dong he is. I thought the same thing. I registered to vote on my 18th birthday, and it was literally just weeks or maybe a couple of months after the amendment took effect. He’s at least seven years older than I am. He most certainly did not start voting at 18 or 20. SOB has to lie about every freakin’ thing.

Axios...
“The U.S. deficit grew by $222 billion from this time last year — reaching a total of $895 billion, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
Why it matters: This increase was due mostly to the new Republican tax law and Congress' routine decision to increase spending, which grew by 7% compared to revenue growth of only 1%. The CBO now says the deficit will approach $1 trillion by the end of this fiscal year, but in April the agency didn’t expect the deficit to reach $1 trillion until 2020.”

linkBuzzFeed.. Suspicious Transactions Followed The Trump Tower Meeting From the article.. Investigators are focused on two bursts of banking activity — one shortly after the June 2016 meeting, the other immediately after the presidential election. The June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower has become one of the most famous gatherings in American political history: a flashpoint for allegations of collusion, the subject of shifting explanations by the president and his son, countless hair-on-fire tweets, and boundless speculation by the press. But secret documents reviewed by BuzzFeed News reveal a previously undisclosed aspect of the meeting: a complex web of financial transactions among some of the planners and participants who moved money from Russia and Switzerland to the British Virgin Islands, Bangkok, and a small office park in New Jersey. The documents show Aras Agalarov, a billionaire real estate developer close to both Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, at the center of this vast network and how he used accounts overseas to filter money to himself, his son, and at least two people who attended the Trump Tower meeting. The records also offer new insight into the murky financial world inhabited by many of Trump’s associates, who use shell companies and secret bank accounts to quickly and quietly move money across the globe. Now, four federal law enforcement officials told BuzzFeed News, investigators are focused on two bursts of transactions that bank examiners deemed suspicious: one a short time after the meeting and another immediately after the November 2016 presidential election. The first set came just 11 days after the June 9 meeting, when an offshore company controlled by Agalarov wired more than $19.5 million to his account at a bank in New York. The second flurry began shortly after Trump was elected. The Agalarov family started sending what would amount to $1.2 million from their bank in Russia to an account in New Jersey controlled by the billionaire’s son, pop singer Emin Agalarov, and two of his friends. The account had been virtually dormant since the summer of 2015, according to records reviewed by BuzzFeed News, and bankers found it strange that activity in Emin Agalarov’s checking account surged after Trump’s victory. After the election, that New Jersey account sent money to a company controlled by Irakly “Ike” Kaveladze, a longtime business associate of the Agalarovs and their representative at the Trump Tower meeting. Kaveladze’s company, meanwhile, had long funded a music business set up by the person who first proposed the meeting to the Trump camp, Emin Agalarov’s brash British publicist, Rob Goldstone.” There is a lot more to the article but you can see where this is going. I swear a successful author of spy novels would have a hard time matching any of this in his or her books.

“Stormy Daniels tells 'The View' that she will release a book Oct. 2 entitled 'Full Disclosure', which she says she has been working on for about 10 years, but will include details about her interactions with President Trump.”
I’m so tired of the circus trump brought to town, especially the clowns performing in it.

Does that mean that black, Hispanic, Asian, indigenous people & Pacific Islander voters with no college degree can see that the emperor has no clothes but white voters without college degrees can not? That differentiation is fascinating, makes one wonder the reason

Far be it from me to agree with lindas about almost anything, but giving credit and not selling content are no protection against abuse of copyright. I don’t know exactly how much you can safely quote before trouble kicks in, but don’t count on the fact that you’re giving it out for free to protect you.

Bannon assured Trump, I have “metaphysical certitude “you will win here if you stick to this script and compare and contrast” with Hillary Clinton. “Every underlying number is with us.” “I realized,” Bannon said later, “I’m the director, he’s the actor.” “Metaphysical certitude?” Seriously? Could have just as easily said, “I am very sure that...”, but no, he had to invoke the philosophy of being? Woodward’s thickets of details always leave me all scratched up and crabby, but that gem was totally worth it. Steve Bannon, self-styled intellectual - and wearing a French film director’s beret in his mind! He’s just a rumpled, racist poser. Poseur.

Just an FYI—- “There is no legal rule stipulating what quantity (of quoting a book) is OK to use without seeking permission from the owner or creator of the material. Major legal battles have been fought over this question, but there is still no black-and-white rule.” And...facts cannot be copyrighted.

Here is a little bit more on what can copied without permission from a Jane Friedman who writes books like “The Business of Being a Writer”.
“Whenever you decide to directly quote, excerpt, or reproduce someone else’s work in your own—whether that’s a book, blog, magazine article, or something else—you have to consider, for each use, whether or not it’s necessary to seek explicit, legal permission from the work’s creator or owner.
Unfortunately, quoting or excerpting someone else’s work falls into one of the grayest areas of copyright law. There is no legal rule stipulating what quantity is OK to use without seeking permission from the owner or creator of the material. Major legal battles have been fought over this question, but there is still no black-and-white rule.
For understandable reasons, you might be seeking a “rule” to apply to reduce your risk or reduce time spent worrying about it. Probably the biggest “rule” that you’ll find—if you’re searching online or asking around—is: “Ask explicit permission for everything beyond X.”
What constitutes “X” depends on whom you ask. Some people say 300 words. Some say one line. Some say 10% of the word count.
But any rules you find are based on a general institutional guideline or a person’s experience, as well as their overall comfort level with the risk involved in directly quoting and excerpting work. That’s why opinions and guidelines vary so much. Furthermore, each and every instance of quoting/excerpting the same work may have a different answer as to whether you need permission.
So there is no one rule you can apply, only principles. So I hope to provide some clarity on those principles in this post.”
That “something else” in the first paragraph would be someplace like this public forum.
