Chris Sherman...
“US Border Patrol has just launched tear gas into Mexico. Breeze carrying it hundreds of yards. Parents running away with choking toddlers. #migrantcaravan”
Southpaw..
“Launching a chemical agent over an international border is, um... typically frowned upon.”

Symone D. Sanders...
“The United States government also just closed a major port of entry into the United States. Like if you’ve ever driven to Mexico from California you’ve probably gone through this border crossing. NO ONE CAN GET IN OR OUT. NOT EVEN US CITIZENS. IT IS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND.”

And then there is this from the AP...
“BREAKING: Ukraine says Russia opens fire on Ukrainian navy ships in Kerch Strait near Crimea, one of them damaged.”
”BREAKING: Ukraine's president to convene emergency meeting of the military's top brass amid Russia tensions near Crimea.”

“From June, when I argued that Trump’s ongoing appeasement of Putin and the Kremlin would cause them to take more risks in potentially dangerous ways. Seems to be what we are seeing with Ukraine today...”

trump...
“Clinton Foundation donations drop 42% - which shows that they illegally played the power game. They monetized their political influence through the Foundation. “During her tenure the State Department was put in the service of the Clinton Foundation.” Andrew McCarthy”
I don’t know if Hillary used her position in the State Department to get countries to donate to the Clinton Foundation. But if she did, the Foundation sure as hell did not use the Foundation money to buy portraits of Bill & Hillary nor to buy toys like the trump foundation did. But actually worked to get aids medicine and clean water to areas that needed it the most. Among other charitable work.
While CA turned a darker shade of blue this last election, they failed at getting rid of trump’s personal skittles source.

So just to be clear ...
We’re refusing to let people apply for asylum at a port of entry as our own laws say we must do, and then lobbing tear gas at them when they try to approach.
We’re ignoring shots fired from Russia on Ukraine because Trump wants to protect his buddy Putin.
We’re ignoring the fact that the Saudis murdered a journalist who was critical of the house of Saud and the Trump administration while working as a permanent resident of the US, because Trump likes all the money he makes off of the rich Saudis.
We’re ignoring that the Chinese have put almost a million people in re-education camps.
We’re ignoring the administration’s own report about the drastic effects climate change will have on all of us.
We’re ignoring the fact that Trump uses an unsecured phone and Ivanka uses personal email for government business, even though it was “lock her up” territory for Hillary.
Meanwhile, Trump is talking about how thankful he is for himself, how “explaining” that the news is “fake” is one of the greatest things he’s done for this country, and reiterated that the press is the enemy of the people. Oh and he’s demonstrated that he still fails to understand how NATO works, right before going out to spend several more hours on the golf course this afternoon.
Can we stop “winning” yet? It clearly doesn’t mean what he thinks it means.

60 Minutes. Fake News Before Fake News Was Even Cool.

60 Minutes. Fake News Before Fake News Was Even Cool. He's such a toddler. Trump is lying. Obama did not implement an across-the-board family separation policy. I watched a PBS Frontline documentary – Separated: Children at the Border – this past summer on Trump’s policy and Cecilia Munoz, Obama’s director of Domestic Policy Council said that the idea had been broached but they never even gave it any deliberation because they knew it was something they were never going to do. Here is the relevant portion from the transcript: NARRATION: To deter more immigrants, the Obama administration even considered separating children from their parents when they crossed. CECILIA MUÑOZ, Director, Obama Domestic Policy Council, 2012-2017: I do remember being struck that that was a pretty extreme proposal, and that it wasn't considered for very long because it was a terrible idea. MARTIN SMITH: And what was the idea exactly? CECILIA MUÑOZ: The idea is effectively what the Trump administration has enacted, which is to prosecute everybody who enters illegally, which would necessitate separating kids from their parents. And we didn't consider it for very long ’cause it was on its face a terrible idea. MARTIN SMITH, Correspondent: Who raised an objection to that idea? CECILIA MUÑOZ: It didn't need to be raised. We all kind of looked at each other and said, "We're not going to do that, are we?" And it was pretty clear we weren't. And that's pretty much as far as it went.

He's an idiot. If anyone has jumped the shark, it's him.

IMO some just pretend to to win the argument, so to speak. Which is probably worse in many ways.

All kinds of memes of Trump surrounded by clouds, lions and ordained by God bs on their facebook. My other sister and I are pretty sure we were adopted at this point.

trump..
“When Mueller does his final report, will he be covering all of his conflicts of interest in a preamble, will he be recommending action on all of the crimes of many kinds from those “on the other side”(whatever happened to Podesta?), and will he be putting in statements from.....”
“hundreds of people closely involved with my campaign who never met, saw or spoke to a Russian during this period? So many campaign workers, people inside from the beginning, ask me why they have not been called (they want to be). There was NO Collusion & Mueller knows it!”
Maybe not collusion, but how about money laundering and obstruction of justice to hid the money laundering?
Judd Legum...
“This is an awesome argument from Trump: Why is no one talking about the people on my campaign who DIDN’T communicate with Russians???”

Cost pressures have increased. GM also has said Trump-imposed tariffs on imported steel have cost it $1 billion”

And then there is this...
The Atlantic..
“Bernie Sanders is thinking he might be the best positioned to actually beat Donald Trump, writes @isaacdovere:”
Which prompted this from Matthew Chapman..
“Sanders had a chance this cycle to prove he was capable of bringing wins for Democrats. He didn't.
Nearly every candidate he endorsed either didn't get out of the primary or went down in the general election. Including some candidates I liked and really thought had a chance.”
And as a reminder, middle of the road Diane Feinstein’s opponent was a progressive. The CA Democratic Party would not endorse her. She won the election by a comfortable margin.
Yes the the party has shifted left but it’s no where being close to becoming “Bernie’s party”.
He should stay out of the race and take up knitting IMO.

“new Gallup poll on how Americans view Trump's performance as president: 38% approve, 60% disapprove”
Its that’s 60% that should bother trump. According to Harwood, it’s the first time it has hit 60% in 2018.

How about the huge tax cuts to corporations? “GM sees these benefits as being beneficial not only to its bottom line, but also the automotive industry as a whole.” Projected earnings for GM were at $145 BILLION. Ohio has 18 electoral votes. Michigan has 16. Trump told Ohioans not to sell their houses because manufacturing jobs are coming back. Let’s see if they remember this come 2020.
