Trump is going ballistic about the @nytimes piece disclosing ramped-up cyberwar against Russia, calling it a “treasonous lie.” The reason he thinks it’s a lie is that his own NatSec team is **afraid of briefing him about it because they think he’s compromised, or a blabbermouth**
What self-respecting Republican can continue to support this monster? At what point will their fear for our country finally exceed their greed/racism/desire for religious authoritarianism?
The answer is that there are no longer any self-respecting Republicans

We had a blast. And this production—with mostly Filipino performers—did a remarkable job of interweaving the ethnicity of the actors into the characterizations, leaning into Pinoyness rather than circling around it. Stick dancing! Catholicism & Tagalog jokes! Men in barongs! 👍
It was an interesting decision because it led me to fill in the backstory of the characters in a way the original MAMMA MIA didn’t allow. There’s no real explanation for any of the characters’ narratives in the Broadway show, and it’s overlooked, because it’s just a lark.
But...a nightclub singer who gets pregnant while performing in Europe, is cut off by her family, and through sheer will goes from domestic care worker to business owner?

Given the context of Filipino guest workers on cruise ships and at resorts, it all starts to come together.

“Up to 30 penises”? They can’t do a proper penile census for this show?
“What’s the issue here?”
“Trying to decide if this guy here counts as a half penis”
Also just rename the show UP TO 30 REASONS WHY

I swear, if I were running I’d walk out to “I Punched Keanu Reeves” and then announce Keanu as my surprise running mate
I guess that’s my first campaign promise, it’s gonna be hella confusing with two candidates named Yang running
Ryan choosing to walk out to “Old Town Road” means he’s identified his key constituency as the underserved nine-year-old voter

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

2. In the 1960's two things happened. First - a blatant rejection of societal norms arose as the fringe "New Right" formed.
3. Next, Richard NIxon and the Conservative Movement deemed it more important to stop Soviet Communism than it was to prevent Fascism from rising again. To do this, they allied with various pseudo-fascist groups across the world.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
