This #SundayMorning we're scratching our heads trying to figure out why both Pompeo & Barr are going abroad next week.

It seems like a terrible time to be out of the country as the White House faces credible accusations that could lead to impeachment.

What's going on?
(THREAD)
(2) First, let's match up schedules. Pompeo's first stop next week is Italy to see the pope, then onto Montenegro and North Macedonia, then Greece.

He says he's there to reassure the Balkans and encourage them to resist Russian influence.

(3) What about Barr? He's in Italy right now and I don't think it's because he ran there to avoid subpoenas involved in the whistleblower scandal.

The last-minute trip was kept quiet until wheels were up and there haven't been many details about Barr's business in Italy.
(4) The right speculates Barr is interviewing Joseph Mifsud about Clinton's emails and Spygate, which may or may not be true.

But news yesterday indicates this has become a focus for the administration, likely to distract from looming impeachment.

(5) The left speculates Pompeo & Barr are there to chat with Russian oligarchs hanging out in Greece and Italy. It's unlikely to be something Barr has time to do at least. He should be back stateside shortly.

And walking into a storm of controversy.

cnn.com/2019/09/27/pol…
(6) Here's where I get to the point of all this.
DON'T GET DISTRACTED.

I'm not exactly sure what spurred this spontaneous trip by Barr, but I guarantee he'd rather have you talking about it than focusing on his involvement in the whistleblower scandal.

nymag.com/intelligencer/…
(7) It's reasonable to assume Pompeo is in the Balkans to smooth ruffled feathers in the wake of what happened in Ukraine.

I don't know that we need to make anything nefarious out of a mea culpa tour to mend fences with allies at a time like this.

rferl.org/a/pompeo-to-di…
(8) And frankly, we have got MUCH MUCH bigger fish to fry. For the first time cracks are starting to show in GOP support for Trump and public support for impeachment has reached a critical mass.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL, AMERICA.

It’s been almost 7 months since we adopted a senior rescue. Foxx is literally not the same dog he was in March.

After treatment for thyroid problems and what I suspect have been lifelong allergies, his fur grew back and we discovered coloring we never knew he had.
(THREAD)
After he was adopted, Foxx didn’t bark for a week & slept much of the time.

Daily walks have slimmed Foxx down. And lord does he run. It’s hard to believe he’s 8 years old sometimes.

And as you can see, Foxx is fully recovered from bladder stone surgery thank you very much.
Lately, Foxx has actually started to play. It’s something he wasn’t interested in much at first. I find myself kind of tearing up watching him rediscover a sillier, more playful side.

Such a good boy.

I hear we’re recounting episodes of “harmless fun” according to the @nytimes so I’ll add mine.

My hs class president & his bestie trapping me between them on a bed, groping me & trying to force their way into a locked bathroom to finish the assault.

Anyone who views these assaults as “harmless fun” is part of the problem.
You can share your episodes of #harmlessfun in the comments. I imagine many of these incidents don’t make it onto the radar of the perpetrator but they remain indelible in the hippocampus to the rest of us.

This is what it means to live in the patriarchy.

This is my daughter’s public elementary school dress code. Notice they have the section on “modesty” bolded. 🙄

It hasn’t really been an issue until this year when her new teacher decided to start becoming the modesty police.
Suddenly sleeveless shirts she’d worn last year and her favorite romper cause anxiety. She’s begun to carefully choose clothes to avoid comments from her new teacher.

All the clothes she’s wearing in these pics she doesn’t dare wear anymore. 💔
Could we please stop sexualizing our little girls? She just wants to run and play and wear sleeveless shirts and comfy shorts without worrying about religious standards of modesty and chastity. I mean seriously @canyonsdistrict . She’s seven. SEVEN. It’s a public school.

@CinarKiper In 1982, Oden Yinon published his "Greater Israel Plan" - this was a strategy document outlining the path of least resistance for Israel to achieve what was defined by the Israeli flag a long time ago.

Pay attention to the Star of David IN BETWEEN the two blue lines of the flag
@CinarKiper The two blue lines represent something of significance. They represent the Nile (Nil) River & The Euphrates (Tigris) River meaning, they want the land in between these two geostrategically natural defense barriers as per the map outlined in the Oded Yinon plan here:
@CinarKiper This takes Hatay & Iskenderun as well. Of course, the Atlanticist alliance is pro-"The Greater Israel" plan because a Judeo-Christian nation which has overlapping interests w/ the Atlantic will always be a better fit as an ally than (say) a country like Turkey.

#Epstein

“The Democrats are scared of what Epstein has revealed in the last few days prior to his death. He was killed but not in the way people think and it was not suicide. The Democrats are trying to link this death to Trump & Barr...” AnonDC9 8/14/19

@POTUS @GenFlynn
“while at the same time discounting any evidence. Barr & DOJ had made inquiries & changed things in the prison prior to his death. There was a heavy DOJ presence in the prison and in the courts up there prior to his death. The Democrats intend to twist it...
“around against Barr and Trump. They are going to do this by claiming that Trump and Barr were so eager to get information from Epstein to take down Hillary and everyone connected to them prior to the election, that Trump had ordered chemical interrogation on Epstein.”

this is what every journalist in DC knows. and this is what most journalists in DC know they can never express
so we get kind of an ongoing charade w/ reports abt how aides are privately upset by his actions, and reporters scratching their heads trying to figure out what he means when he lies abt a new tax cut before midterms....
'We just can't figure this guy out!'
