Trent Franks is resigning from Congress after asking female staffers to be a surrogate for his child. Here are some stories we have covered on him in the past. @RepTrentFranks 1/
Reminder that Trent Franks once said there weren't THAT many rapes that result in pregnancies. 2/ phoenixnewtimes.com/news/trent-fra…
Trent Franks also famously said that black people had it better under slavery, because there weren’t so many children being aborted back then. 3/

Other scorching hot takes from Trent Franks: Female soldiers shouldn't be in combat, because they might get pregnant. 4/ phoenixnewtimes.com/news/congressm…
He also wanted to impeach Barack Obama over gay marriage. 5/ phoenixnewtimes.com/news/congressm…
His obsession with sponsoring anti-abortion legislation won him the honor of being named one of the weirdest members of Congress. None of his bills passed, though. 6/ phoenixnewtimes.com/news/trent-fra…
"All of us have baggage, but Jesus is not on the ballot." - Trent Franks, 2012. 7/ phoenixnewtimes.com/news/congressm…
Oh also... while the rest of the country weathered a recession, he got even richer. 8/

Please take the time to read: The Five-Year-Old Who Was Detained at the Border and Persuaded to Sign Away Her Rights, by Sarah Stillman - a few thoughts from me to follow... newyorker.com/news/news-desk… via @NewYorker
The first thing to note is that the separation from a child from her grandmother upon arrival to the U.S. is that it appears to have taken place after the president supposedly ordered the forceful separations stopped...
A second thing to note is that the implementation of these separation policies requires the joint cooperation of both DHS & HHS - Secretaries Nielsen and Azar at the top, and the many deputies who work under their chain of command...

Blame-aportioning was not intended purpose. I have pointed out the missing link in the chain that #Congress #BJP and #MSM seem strangely unaware of or are wilfully suppressing. It is for #CBI and Govt to explain why 'Look-Out Notice' was downgraded. Not my job. #MallyaLies 1/n
As far as I am concerned available evidence shows Vijay Mallya planned his exit meticulously. He travelled abroad in October and returned in November 2015. He travelled abroad twice in December 2015. He travelled abroad in January 2016. And then fled in March. #MallyaLies 2/n
Mallya showed up for CBI interrogation. Travelled abroad and returned. All this was to create the false impression that he was not going to flee. It was a criminal mind's work. That #CBI fell for it is amazing. Does not speak highly of its leadership. 3/n

Doing a #stories and Q&A session with @consonanceng, an amazing community of designers and engineers in Nigeria and across Africa.

Here’s a thread on how I got into design and building products👇 Feel free to ask questions 🙏

#ConsonanceIsOne
I got into programming late. My first experience with it was in high school, AP Computer Science. Funny enough, it made me feel discouraged about programming. 😫
The class was confusing. I had a hard time grasping what classes and objects were. Needless to say, I got a 2 out of 5 on the exam 😬

I was pondering about why #Congress was so quick to abandon #DACA. After years of #Dreamers protection, literally without a battle. Wouldn't they want the votes? Now we have a #CaravanOfIllegalls approaching the #BorderWall. No fear though @POTUS has activated the #USMC.
If they don't care about the votes it further confirms for me that if #HRC won, the plan would have been to eventually flood the country with immigration and destroy the #USA like the #UK.
(Follow me now)....
We would lose the 2A then the 1A.
We the People would no longer exist. Disarm the people then you can do anything you want to them. Control is the name of the GAME and DATA feeds control. Once we lose America we have an easy shift to a global government under the guise of ultimate freedom of the earth. New tech!

Somos hijos del barro, del Mikasa y de las duchas con agua fría!!!!
Somos del fútbol de antes, sin gominas, celebraciones absurdas ni peinados de última moda! ⤵️⤵️👇🏻Hilo⤵️⤵️
De los tiempos en los que los padres apenas si acudían a ver a sus hijos. De ir apretujados en el coche de un padre porque no había suficientes para ir todo el equipo a los partidos de fuera 🚐⤵️⤵️👇🏻
De cuando la camiseta del equipo era un tesoro; había una equipación que se heredaba temporada tras temporada, desteñidas después de tanto partido; de cuando se jugaba con petos fuera si coincidían colores, porque se segunda equipación, ni hablamos...⚽⚽⤵️👇🏻
