Hey, Congress.

It’s time formally censure Steve King.

desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
Back in January the GOP steering committee stripped Steve King of his committee assignments but the House efforts to censure him formally fizzled.

Iowa law doesn’t allow for recall elections so voters can’t take remove him from his seat, but Congress can

Unfortunately, King’s history of racist, sexist comments doesn’t meet any set precedent for expulsion.

20 members of Congress have been expelled in US history. 17 of those were expelled for joining the Confederacy.

Others were directly implicated in or charged with crimes.

This #SundayMorning it's time to debunk a few myths surrounding Epstein's suicide and answer this fundamental question.

Will co-conspirators like Epstein's madam Ghislaine Maxwell every be held accountable?

(2) First off, we need to put this particular conspiracy theory to bed for good. There is no evidence that Barr visited Epstein in jail. Both Snopes and Fact Check rate this internet rumor as false.

(3) The one quote from which all of this speculation originates comes from an informant who ratted out the Gotti family and has a reputation for sensational false claims. Kasman hasn't visited the jail Epstein was held in since 1992.

Dropping a rescue off for surgery is the hardest thing.

That moment when they take the collar off and he’s certain you’re leaving him for good and he tries to crawl into your lap and starts whimpering. 💔

I’ll just be over here crying for the rest of the day. 😭
Update: Foxx’s surgery went fairly well but he’s got to stay overnight for observation. I made the vet promise to release him first thing when they open at 7:30am tomorrow.

I’m going to be there like ...
She missed him so much she went to sleep with his collar clutched in her hands. 😢

I’ve been wondering this for a long long time but why does every fancy house in Utah look like an Olive Garden?

It’s like they went in for bottomless breadsticks and decided to never ever leave.
The general style is somewhere between Tuscan and Craftsman that somehow manages to come off as Olive Garden. Every. Damn. Time.
I feel like knocking on the door and asking to be seated.

“Table big enough to seat the entire celestial family. Kay thanks.”

I don't know about you, but this sure as hell seems to be more than just a dog whistle to white supremacists,

it seems like another call to action.

Seriously, this is beyond disgusting.

King's implication is that rape and incest are suitable paths to ensuring that the United States population remains majority white.
The assertion that "Plucking anyone out" of family trees that was conceived by rape or incest would have wiped out the human race is most certainly rhetorical bullshit aimed at promoting the above...

Once again, the worst thing Trump supporters can imagine is being known for what they are.

The worst offense they can imagine is accurate criticism.
They aren't being called 'animals' by the president.
No stadiums chanting "send them back"
No bathroom laws for them.
No travel ban.
No concentration camps.
No child separation.

Just that look in our eyes.

Just that look on our face.

Just an accurate appraisal.

The nerve.
No marriage nullified for them
No dishonorable discharge
No high executive calling them "enemy"
No years living without water
No dying without insulin
No dread of seeing a rapist in charge
No dread of seeing a sex criminal in the highest court

Just that look on our face.

okay, this needs more perspective, so hunker down for a thread.
Iowa was the home of the telemed abortion program, which launched in 2008. Because Planned Parenthood clinics could offer med abortion in clinics with a dr skyping in to consult, access expanded dramatically. Without the program, there were I think 3 clinics in state.
With the program, there were over a dozen. Understand that this is one state that had just one independent provider (waves at powerhouse @EmmaGoldmanIowa). So this was a huge expansion.

💥Steve King U.S. Congress IA-04 (please vote for J.D. Scholten @Scholten4Iowa) is a quadruple threat at the very least on some of the most prominent issues of the 2018 Election.

1⃣▶️He’s a racist, intensifying the pervasive polarization in the country

desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
2⃣▶️Steve King has voted for every repeal or bill to chip away at the Affordable Care Act

3⃣▶️He voted for the #GOPTaxScam, a series of tax breaks for corporations & wealthy passed by Republicans, now used as the excusing for cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid
4⃣▶️King is backed by Charles Koch, who has been funding a hybrid of Republican/Libertarian/"eccentric" billionaire causes & politicians for decades in order to promote his agenda: mainly to abolish EPA/all environmental regulations, bust employee unions & ease corporate taxes.
