Two more reasons attacking Biden for not entering a family separation executive order is absolute fraudulent BS. First, Trump signed an executive order ending the policy of family separation in 2018
Here is that order. It was Trump, so of course he managed to inflict cruelty even so --- which is all the more reason to appreciate all that Biden has done. npr.org/2018/06/20/622…
Second, the DOJ has been under order of the federal courts since 2018 to reunite children. Mitch and the Rs, however, have so far been preventing Merrick Garland from taking over as AG. cnn.com/2018/06/26/pol…
OK, third, of course Trump has been lying all along about how terrible the program actually was, and I can only imagine what it has been like for Biden transition people to try to get a handle on what is going on.
As a first #DemsDoGood thread, I want to push back on this utterly bad faith. It is false, and intended to divide good people against each other and lead to another demagogue. We won't let it work.
Ms. McEvoy lies about "executive order" when actually Biden said "I will immediately reverse the Trump administration's cruel and senseless policies that separate children at our border." Politifact has ALREADY deemed that true politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
A bit of background on child separation. Until Jeff Sessions stuck his dirty fingers into things, many prosecutors voluntarily declined prosecuting adults traveling with children. That policy was not in the US Code, it was prosecutors' discretion. politico.com/news/2021/01/1…
My next #DemsDoGood policy will be on energy policy and why true enemies of Russia like @LouiseMensch should LOVE Biden's decision to cancel the Keystone Pipeline. Please stand by (or check back in the AM, snoozy East Coasters).
In a "coincidence" Sec Miller's changes reached DC Natl Guard Commander on Jan 5.
Also deeply frustrating, the justification for the new restrictions was the lawless March to the bible photo op and related improper Guard responses. The evils are SO cynical it's breathtaking
ROSIE AS HELL. (for those of you new here, sure I may be full of shit but at least I'm not Dark Dirk). Proud Boys, Boogaloos and Oathkeepers done f'xd up. A thread.
Before I get to what pathetic asses the Proud Boys are, let's look at some science of human physiology, eh? (Tough shit I had to look at their stupid asses, so you can too).
I have a life-long commitment to exercise and have spend hundreds of hours lifting weights. I have always struggled with staying lean, but let's just say I have a GOOD idea of what lifting does versus what steroids do
I HAVE QUESTIONS. And we all need answers. What really happened leading up to Jan. 6. A thread.
Sometimes I try to post useful information based on reliable sources. This is not one of those times. We don't know ANYTHING about the events that could have led to the killing of almost everyone in the chain of succession. We need to know.
On Jan 6, 2021, the presidential line of succession was VP Pence, N Pelosi (speaker of the house), Chuck Grassley (President pro Tempore Senate) ... then Pompeo (State), Mnuchin (Treasury). The first three were in the Capitol when it was attacked. The rest are Trump/RU toadies.
