WOW. @HillaryClinton in 2016: "Turkey is at war with the Kurds... If Turkey cuts off the Org's cash flow from Istanbul, will Trump, who has shown many times how petty and impulsive he can be, allow that to influence how the U.S. juggles the interests of these 2 critical allies?"
The Trump org's*
@HillaryClinton Clarification/Correction: Clinton was reiterating a question in this Newsweek story: newsweek.com/2016/09/23/don…

My mom (a Democratic voter) and dad (a Republican voter) have both, at different points since 2016, asked me to get out of news/political reporting out of fear for my life in consideration. This video makes me sick.
in consideration of the climate in the Trump era
To be clear: I haven't really felt like I was in danger at any point recently. It bothers me more that there's now an atmosphere where my family worries about this, though.

WOW. Hillary Clinton, Sept 2016:
"Turkey's at war with the Kurds...If Turkey cuts off Trump Org's cash flow from Istanbul, will Trump, (as) petty & impulsive he can be, allow that to influence how the U.S. juggles the interests of these 2 critical allies?" #KurdsBetrayedByTrump
More context: Like Russia, Turkey was rooting for Trump in 2016. While Vladimir Putin feared a President Hillary Clinton would kill his dream of reuniting the Old Soviet Union (including Ukraine), Erdogan feared she would arm the Syrian Kurds.

Clarification/Correction: Clinton's tweet was quoting and reiterating questions and concerns about Trump's foreign ties posed in this @Newsweek story. These are concerns she had while the media breathlessly reporter, instead, on her pneumonia: newsweek.com/2016/09/23/don…

Makes ke sick to think the Supreme Court is deciding today whether or not I deserve the same civil rights protections against being fired for who I am as anyone else.

A married gay man is running for POTUS in 2019, but days like this remind me equal rights is still a fight. 🏳️‍🌈
The outcome of today's hearings could determine whether orgs like @SouthernEqual see a viable path in challenging Mississippi's #HB1523, which made it legal for businesses to refuse to serve LGBT people based on religious beliefs about marriage or gender.
jacksonfreepress.com/news/2019/oct/…
A federal judge struck down #HB1523 in 2016, but the conservative 5th Circuit overturned the ruling, saying the plaintiffs did not have standing because the law had not been invoked to discriminate against them (the law had not even gone into effect bc the judge had blocked it).

SHE WARNED US ABOUT EVERYTHING.

Hillary Clinton in 2016:

“Turkey is at war with the Kurds... If Turkey cuts off the Trump Organization’s cash flow from Istanbul, will Trump allow that to influence how the U.S. juggles the interests of these 2 critical allies?"
Today Trump said that it’s OK to abandon the Kurds because, “they didn’t help us at Normandy.”

Pretty fucking bold statement from a guy who didn’t help us in Vietnam.
Where’s the lie?

#Istanbul #Reelection Today- ~6 hrs left to polls closing. High stakes. Hoping for a smooth, Democratic & peaceful process. It will be an intense evening count. I’ll report updates periodically. Reporting on the ground from #Turkey @sibeledmonds
#IstanbulReelection- 39 Districts, 10,560,963 Votes. That’s a lot of votes to count! Down to 2 Mayoral candidates: Ruling Party #AKP candidate Yıldırım vs Main Opposition Party #CHP Candidate İmamoğlu. Polls will close at 5:00 pm here (in ~6 hours).
Over 1/3 of #Turkey’s population lives in #Istanbul. A good chunk of national GDP & many many billion dollars District budget for the elected #Mayor. #AKP lost in mayoral elections of biggest cities: #Ankara, #Izmir & #Antalya, with #Istanbul as the “hottest tamale” TBD today.

Trump's betrayal to Turkey is now resulting in Turkish moves on US military forces. Trump has committed treason. He has joined an enemy force in a declared war. @NancyPelosi you must impeach him. Put Syria on the floor over the Holidays. @DefenseIntel
Trump's betrayal to the Jihadists' first US service member in Turkey's (an ISIS affiliate) custody. Time to write a letter @POTUS? You traitor? @DoD_IG @CENTCOM @USSOCOM @robertburnsAP @barbarastarrcnn @foxandfriends @seanhannity @WSJ @nytimes @hogangidley45 @WHNSC @NSAGov
I warned @CENTCOM @StateDept @statedeptspox @StateDeptDSS @DoD_IG you have to evacuate all our people from #Turkey. Now they are being arrested by a country affiliated with ISIS that Trump does business with. @rabrowne75 @APDiploWriter

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
