We mustn't forget: Trump *aided the El Paso shooter* with *targeting*: he lied repeatedly about El Paso being dangerous—when it's one of the safest U.S. cities—thereby convincing America and the El Paso shooter that El Paso is the front line in the war on "dangerous" immigrants.
1/ Moreover, Trump lied about El Paso *purely to launch a political attack on Beto O'Rourke*, who he's angered by not just politically but personally: Beto is younger, fitter, cooler, better-looking, more eloquent, and draws bigger crowds. So Trump targeted his hometown: El Paso.
2/ Instead of covering how Trump (a racist) wants to re-brand himself as a nonracist while still being one, maybe @washingtonpost could write about how Trump's envy of Beto may well have contributed to the El Paso shooter driving 14 hours to kill immigrants *there*, specifically?

(QUESTION OF THE DAY) Can *anyone* explain the series of events below to me? Wexner just retained a criminal defense attorney; Rybolovlev is a former employer of Joel Zamel, the Israeli who says he [illegally] aided the Trump campaign with Saudi and Emirati money pre-election...
1/ It seems to me that if Epstein really did underwrite Mar-a-Lago/1125 S. Ocean Blvd.—as he's claimed—he'd have been livid if Trump's sister basically gave it back to him in 2004 to help him purchase a home (Wexner's old home) that *Epstein* wanted. That'd explain a falling out.
2/ Just so, if Epstein had some sort of a financial claim on Trump that he was liable to push after being cheated out of a home he wanted to live in in 2004, one could easily imagine Trump dropping a dime on Epstein regarding behaviors he'd long known about (and even spoken of).

(CROWDSOURCED THREAD) Per a well-known tech journalist who interviewed Epstein in '17, an Epstein agent said—in the lead-up to the December 26, 2017 interview—that Trump had visited Epstein's Florida home a "few days" earlier. Internet: what evidence can you find supporting this?
RULES/

1. No conspiracy theories.
2. No speculation.
3. No info from unreliable sources.
4. What's OK: citizen journalists have already—for instance—made a map of the distance from the Florida church Trump visited on one of the likely Trump-Epstein visit days and Epstein's home.
RULES2/

5. Other examples of good investigative work: citizen journalists uncovered pool reports and a partial itinerary from the trip Trump made to Mar-a-Lago—a property Epstein claimed, to the tech journalist, he co-underwrote in 1985—the week Trump allegedly visited Epstein.

If you understand that America is a nation governed by its minority party, the Republican Party, which stacks courts to ensure voter suppression and systemically uses disinformation to mislead voters and now uses immigration policy to keep America white and Republican, you get it
1/ Somewhere along the line, Republicans saw the same polls everyone else did, which confirmed that when asked about policy preferences a majority of Americans pick Democratic policies, and instead of changing their philosophy the GOP decided to eliminate their opponents' voters
2/ Because keeping America's *electorate* as white as possible benefits Republicans, GOP voters have been given a license to support all sorts of racist policies on the grounds that not supporting them would be detrimental to their party (which they belong to because of tax cuts)

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

Attention #America,
You have been subject to one of the biggest distractions in your recent history. It is but fair to make you aware that #Trump has been playing you for quite some time now, and he has been good at it.
With just one hand, that con man has been milking../1
the very last drop of your energy and attention. He has consumed you to death. The House is overwhelmed with "inventing" legal means just to keep in pace with Trump's maneuvering. The media is sniffing and digging after scoops to find out the worst of Trump, and the public../2
has been involved in heavily shelling one another. With his other hand, however, Trump has set aside a new way out that will render all of those efforts to strangle him useless. He is playing the book's old game – a war.
Dear America, your beloved, or most hated, president../3

2). A meme was flown across Twitter over the past few months, coming to my attention again yesterday. I saved it so I could do this little investigation!
3.) According to this meme:
A. U.S. Immigration passed laws in accordance with the passing of the McCarran Walters Act of 1952., Revised & Re-Affirmed in 1965.

Chapter 2, Sec.212: As the PROHIBITION OF THE ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES IF THE ALIEN BELONGS TO AN ORGANIZATION

#Trump said his Russian business efforts, including during the campaign were "Very legal" and "VERY COOL."

HAHAHAH....yep, I sure do agree with that. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, most of the media have no clue, though some of them do, b/c some have reported the truth.
Well, sommanab*tch! The link I saved from one of the media outlets that knew ...now seems to be gone. Of course I couldn't archive it because it was WaPo. They wouldn't let me archive it.
Well, here's another one, by Buzzfeed, no less. They KNEW that Trump worked WITH the FBI, yet they participated in the conspiracy against him to frame him as the guilty one.

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

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
