Wilbur Ross [accused of systematically stealing – to the point of grifting – $123M from his former colleagues, who call him a pathological liar] thinks federal workers struggling to make ends meet because of Trump's shutdown should just take out loans. 🙄
Wilbur Ross [who while in office has been accused of stealing $123M from ex-colleagues, insider trading, and lying on his SF86 AND to Congress] is confused why federal workers not getting paid during Trump's shutdown are forced to go to food banks.

Longtime Trump advisor Roger Stone was indicted by Mueller and arrested on charges of lying to Congress about his contacts with WikiLeaks re Clinton emails stolen by Russian govt hackers during the 2016 campaign, obstruction, and witness tampering.
#Maddow on.wsj.com/2WlTRRl
After WikiLeaks July 22, 2016 release of stolen DNC emails, a senior Trump Campaign official was DIRECTED to contact Roger Stone re more releases & if WikiLeaks had other damaging Clinton Campaign info. Thereafter, Stone kept Trump's Campaign informed re future releases.
#Maddow
After WikiLeaks' Oct 7, 2016 release of stolen Podesta emails, an associate of Trump Campaign's Steve Bannon sent Roger Stone a text: “Well done.” In ensuing contacts with senior Trump Campaign officials, Stone took credit for having correctly predicted the Oct release.

SCOOP: Two career security specialists rejected Jared Kushner for a top secret clearance after an FBI background check raised concerns about potential foreign influence on him — but they were overruled.
by @KenDilanianNBC @strickdc @peteralexander #Maddow nbcnews.to/2UiLqEv
Jared Kushner's was one of at least 30 cases in which Trump appointed Kline overruled career security experts and approved a top secret clearance for Trump officials despite unfavorable information – an unprecedented number overruled rejections.
#Maddow
Even though Jared Kushner's FBI background check flagged concerns about his family's business, foreign contacts, foreign travel, and meetings he had during the campaign, Kline overruled two career security specialists and recommended Kushner for a top secret clearance.

Trump advisor Jared Kushner – whose advice to Trump has included hiring Manafort and Flynn and firing Comey – has inserted himself into the shutdown talks, urging Trump to "dig in," claiming that he can personally strike deal with Democrats. omfg 😂
wapo.st/2G0ubE7?tid=ss…
The real Jared Kushner "isn’t particularly bright or hard-working, doesn’t actually know anything, bought his way into everything ever (with money he got from his criminal father), is deeply insecure & obsessed with fame, and is basically a shithead."
"The White House's new appetite for a negotiated resolution came after the they managed to peel off just one Democratic vote [Manchin], a fact that came as a particular surprise to Jared Kushner, who has touted his relationships with Dem lawmakers..." 😂

@realDonaldTrump Speaker Pelosi is not requesting to do anything but immediately re-open the government without delay and pay the 800,000 federal employees who are struggling to make ends meet. Trump is the one holding everyone hostage for a racist, rusty scrap metal fence at the southern border.
@realDonaldTrump Plus, it’s not only Nancy Pelosi who thinks the racist wall is immoral. The hero of all Republicans, former President Ronald Reagan, told Mr. Gorbachev to “Tear down this wall!” You know, the one in Berlin.
@realDonaldTrump And this wall at the southern border would in fact divide Native American lands in two and separate families just like the Berlin Wall once did. The Tohono O’odham people have land on both sides of the United States and Mexico border because of the Gadsen Purchase of 1854.

Trump is threatening his shutdown could last “months” or even “years.”

If it continues even a few more weeks, we’ll see hunger in America skyrocket as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (aka food stamps) starts to run short on funds.

(THREAD.)

#HandsOffSNAP
1. SNAP, the nation’s largest food assistance program, helps nearly 40 million people in some 20 million households put food on the table.

Right now SNAP has enough federally appropriated funds to make it through January.
2. If the shutdown continues into February, millions of struggling Americans’ food assistance will be at risk as SNAP starts to run short on appropriated $.

I actually have his book on the desk behind me. Much like Machiavelli's The Prince, it's a manual on how to be a complete and utter bastard (and win). Many of the chapters point to why Leave won, others to why Remain lost. Based on its content, #FBPE need to get its hands dirty.
The article is very different, and it's Leavers that are the narcissists - they hold a belief in something and won't accept being called up on it, deny any facts they're shown as fake news and propaganda, while never questioning their own sources.
I have #FBPE in my bio, and it's because I value Freedom of Movement. I have benefited from it, as have my friends and family. I want to keep it, I want my fellow UK citizens to keep it, and I want EU residents in the UK to keep it too.

Putin, Manafort & Trump have ties to RU’s Mafia King Mogilevetch going back decades to the early 2000s & 1990s.

45 hired only the ‘best people’ FRAUDSTERS, TAX EVADERS & MONEY LAUNDERERS

Mueller plans to call IRS, FBI, FinCen witnesses at Manafort trial

Former Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen Under Investigation for Tax Fraud

TEY: Lordy, Lordy, we hope there are “scans”😎

Manafort needs to be understood as a symptom of a global epidemic of kleptocracy—a ‘Russian’ virus that he imported into the United States.
💰AssetSiezure3💰

@20committee told us TWO yrs ago Manafort’s sidekick was RU GRU agent Konstantin Kilimnik, spent a decade advising Yanukovych, lobbied for Pakistan’s ISI, & was a hired ‘fixer’ for rebels in Angola, Ferdinand Marcos, and Zaire’s dictator Mobutu Sese Seko.

Sugar daddy au with a twist where Yoongi is a producer just starting out, and while he's happy he took the risk, he's struggling to make ends meet, often having to rely on his friends for help. They really don't mind since it's never anything much, food mostly, and they love him.
But Yoongi's unhappy with it, doesn't like mooching off his friends, so one night when he's been sulky after having to share Hoseok's dinner instead of buying his own again, Hobi's trying to cheer him up and jokes about how Yoongi should just become a sugar baby.
And Yoongi laughs, because that's ridiculous, he doesn't feel comfortable sharing his body for money and honestly would prefer to be the daddy if he had the money to do something like that anyway.

Know how Social Security and Medicare are referred to as the “third rail” – because cutting them is understood to be political suicide?

Well, it turns out it’s not just Social Security & Medicare.

Follow along for details on a new poll the GOP should pay close attention to. 1/x
Trump and Congressional Republicans learned the hard way last year how immensely popular Medicaid is, when in many ways it saved the ACA.

New polling shows a whopping **80% of Americans** oppose cutting Medicaid.

2/x
And it’s not just Medicaid folks don’t want to see cut.

Americans overwhelmingly—and across party lines—oppose President Trump and Speaker Ryan’s proposals to slash nutrition assistance, affordable housing, disability benefits, energy assistance, and more.

3/x
