If you are brown or black in America at a time when the president of the United States - as a core feature of his presidency AND HIS CAMPAIGN - is acting as an accelerant to violent white nationalists, why can't your congressman tell you that your grocer (4ex) is funding that?
Wouldn't you want to know who in your community is paying for the ads that call you and anyone who looks like you or speaks like you an invader, an infestation and an animal? Aren't you allowed to know who is paying to re-elect the man taking & caging kids who look like yours?

-Rich folks hire undocumented workers on the cheap
-Rich folks fund the election of other rich folks
-Rich folks fund fake populism to make low paid people hate the workers hired on the cheap
-Rich folks "enforce the law" but they only hurt the people who were hired on the cheap
Trump saying "the system is rigged" is just words designed to make you think it's rigged by & for workers who got hired on the cheap. In fact, it's rigged by & for the people like the guy who runs Koch Foods and by & for ppl like Donald Trump.

A lot of y'all are getting duped.
Oh, and if Koch Foods decides to stop hiring undocumented workers on the cheap, they won't be going to coal or steel country to hire you guys who lost your gigs. They're going to go to automation. So kicking out those chicken factory workers gets you literally nothing. Well done.

After the Aurora theater shooting, it was hard to get our kids (who were much younger then) to go to the movies. They just didn't want to go, even though I explained that in New York, people couldn't walk around with those giant guns. Even today when we do go, we watch the doors.
Years before, in Florida, a federal agent got into a road rage incident with another man and they pulled into the parking lot of our local post office to argue. The man shot the agent, in front of the agent's teen daughter. The kids quit going with me to the post office.
Our kids grew up having to do those drills where we gamed out where to meet if there was a mass shooting at their school. They've had cellphones since age 12 so we could reach them just in case; and I memorized their daily school outfits-just in case-and we lived in the suburbs.

Sad but true. We managed to come back after the Iraq invasion and occupation and torture and Gitmo w/ an historic election of a member of a long-beleaguered minority (something Europe hasn't done) who also repudiated that war. That THIS is the backlash will make recovery harder.
The Iraq war exposed the power, greed and cruelty of the military-industrial (and oil) complex that Eisenhower warned about, and that infects every western power. Trumpian backlash exposes that the U.S. is not immune from the neofascist, Putinite forces threatening the world.
And if we can fall so easily, and so quickly give up our status as "leader of the free world," and become the country that cages children and whose leader holds constant, screaming rallies denouncing immigrants and winking at violence and expulsion... well God help us all.

President Trump has been using the word treason a lot lately, I wonder if AG Barr gave him a heads up that the corrupt officials were spying on him while he was President. If something like that comes out, people need to go to prison for life.
I don't like it. Treason is a huge thing to accuse someone of with serious consequences. I don't know what else you would call corrupt unelected officials abusing their authority to spy on their political opponent, the President of the United States.

It's bad enough to spy on a Presidential campaign, that is insane and a huge threat to our country but to spy on the actual President would be beyond the pale.

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
