OMG this week isn't bad enough: JUSTICE KENNEDY JUST ANNOUNCED HE IS RETIRING. A president whose legitimacy is under question for a rigged election, who attacks the US constitution and American values—gets to appoint yet ANOTHER Supreme Court Justice. Things are very very wrong.
So much for an independent judiciary. Justice Kennedy retiring now assures his political party—a Republican—gets to appoint his successor AND puts the Supreme Court on Nov ballot. Which should also put more pressure on every last American to stand up to Trump dismantling America.
.@SteveSchmidtSES: Trump lost popular vote by 3 million yet GOP controls all branches of govt. A minority rules the majority of a country opposed to the president. That's extremely unhealthy for democracy. Dems must block any Supreme Court nom before Nov election.#Kennedy #SCOTUS
.@SenWhitehouse nails GOP extremism & tactics: Republicans don't look at principle, precedent or process in approaching the Supreme Court. It's all about power: The desire to seize control of the Supreme Ct for right-wing & big corporate special interests.

>> BOOM >> Mueller has evidence Manafort shared polling data about the 2016 presidential election with Russian intel asset Kilimnik. And lied about it. His lawyers bungled redactions in filing and here we are. #TrumpRussia #Conspiracy #Collusion #RussiaGate #MuellerInvestigation
My favorite part so far (paraphrasing): OK, so Manafort shared [presidential polling data] with Kilimnik. But why assume he lied when he failed to tell Mueller? He just forgot! He was so busy! After all, he was running a US presidential campaign. He can't remember EVerything. lol
Not only is NO COLLUSION a big lie. There’s so damn much collusion, it’s more like TREASON. We learned today 1) Manafort met Russian agent Kilimnik in Madrid during campaign, 2) Paulie shared polling data w/ him, & 3) They discussed “Ukrainian peace plan.” While Russia attacked.

Wall shutdown showdown’s next act: Trump goes to southern border Thursday “to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.” He’s not negotiating a deal. He’s putting on shows to keep his propaganda on TV/media. Maybe he’ll bring a caravan😒
Trump to visit southern border after telling aides on Sunday he wanted them to come up with a resolution to the shutdown fight that would reopen the government—without him appearing to have capitulated to Democrats. via @WSJ wsj.com/articles/trump…
TV networks agreeing to air Trump's far-right wall propaganda address as if a real national security emergency is pretty despicable. An ominous sign that they haven't learned much about how propagandists use media to elevate bullshit in ways that undermine our country & the press

The Suffocation of Democracy

By: Christopher R. Browning

THREAD✔
1/
As a historian specializing in the #Holocaust, #Nazi Germany, and #Europe in the era of the world wars, I have been repeatedly asked about the degree to which the current situation in the United States resembles the interwar period and the rise of #fascism in Europe.
2/
I would note several troubling similarities and one important but equally troubling difference.

In the 1920s, the US pursued #isolationism in foreign #policy and rejected participation in international organizations like the League of Nations.

Unknown author - if you can help give credit, please do:
Justice Kennedy was not planning to resign next term. We know, because he had already appointed his clerks for that term. He suddenly resigned BECAUSE his son, worked for Deutsche Bank... /1
...indicted in the EU for being a conduit for money laundering for Russian Oligarchs. He resigned because his son's client - had been Donald Trump, for whom, he had arranged up to $1 billion in Deutsche Bank "loans." These funds likely, were monies originating from... /2
...Russian oligarchs connected to Putin - being laundered through the bank, with the knowledge of #Kennedy's son. In other words - Kennedy's son could be esnared in the #Mueller investigation - perhaps, vulnerable to indictment himself. In this eventuality, you can be certain- /3

The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. #Kennedy
Yeah, and how did that conversation go over with Obama? #SCOTUS
Well if that is the new precedent we are going to make I guess we should stick to it.

1) There are so many things at play that will shift expectations for November. The Left and Democrats think they are winning and it’s just a matter of time until PDJT is out of office. Once the IG report drops and the indictments
2) start getting handed out like candy, they will be demoralized.

Justice Kennedy is more than likely retiring on June 30th. Hold off his replacement until after the election. Republicans will come out in droves especially if our President nominates Judge Hardiman
3) (runner up to Neil Gorsuch) who is pro 2nd Amendment. The turnout will be even greater.

North Korea will be close to being taken care of by then.

The Economy will still be booming and in overdrive.

Money talks and BS walks!
