This is misleading stuff. As a Justice Dept. terrorism official explained this week, terroristic acts by American white people usually don't qualify as terrorism under the law, because terrorism law is focused on foreigners: huffingtonpost.com/entry/white-te…
In summary: 1) A senior Justice Department official just explained last week that domestic extremists often aren't charged with terrorism because terrorism laws are targeted at foreigners. 2) The Justice Department just issued a statement purposefully omitting that context.
US government report from April 2017: Of 85 deadly US terror attacks since 9/11, far-right-wing extremists were responsible for 62, Islamic extremists 23. gao.gov/assets/690/683…

Pretty remarkable quote.
Trump said "a number of Democrats" came out this morning and endorsed border security that includes a wall, but the media won't report it because it is "the opposition party." Not personally sure if he is referring to a real thing.
Trump's fuller quote on Mexico paying: "Obviously I never said this, and I never meant, they're going to write out a check. I said they're going to pay for it. They are. They are paying for it with the incredible deal we made with the...USMCA deal. It's a trade deal." 1/2

Off to a strong start! Trump made 78 false claims in the first week of 2019, including 24 at his first press conference of the year and a rally-level 32 at his first Cabinet meeting of the year: thestar.com/news/world/ana…
It was non-fun catching up on five weeks of Trump fact-checking, but he actually had a relatively quiet December by his recent lie-standards: before last week's 78, weeks of 41, 22, 32 and 21 false claims. That was more like his 2017 level. (He didn't do as many speaking events.)
Trump is now up to 4,122 false claims for his presidency, an average of 5.7 per day. He averaged 8.3 per day in 2018, nearly triple his 2017 average of 2.9 per day. Here's the comprehensive database: projects.thestar.com/donald-trump-f…

Most of the heroin Trump is talking about comes through legal ports of entry, not through unwalled areas.
Trump has never personally presented detailed data about how many children are being fraudulently used for border-crossing purposes, merely implying it's common. The evidence suggests it's a small minority of the families who cross.
Democrats have not made a "request" for a steel barrier, as far as anyone knows. They don't want any of this.

Indian law protects women from all kinds of domestic abuse. To know more about the provisions of Protection of Women Against Domestic Violence Act, 2005 read our explainer: bit.ly/2CMVlfS
PWDV Act, 2005, gives a broad definition of what qualifies as ‘domestic abuse’. It includes physical, sexual, verbal, emotional and economic abuse. Section 3 reads:
The Act provides for a ‘Protection Officer’ to help you through various processes under the law. This Officer can help you file the complaint, tell you about your rights, make an application to the Magistrate for you, etc.

Two Individuals Charged for Acting as Illegal Agents of the Government of Iran justice.gov/opa/pr/two-ind… "collecting identifying information about American citizens and U.S. nationals who are members of the group Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK)" #terrorism #IranProtests #IranTerrorism
Lots of details in the affidavits; how well-trained the Iranian agents were & how they tried to conceal their entire spying operation. Unfortunately many years of appeasement policy has emboldened the regime to extend its #terrorism to the American soil documentcloud.org/documents/4777…
And here is the statement by the NCRI which has been the main target of the Iranian regime's spying and terror plot. It’s time to expel the agents of Iran’s MOIS and Quds Force operating under various covers in the U.S. & Europe. ncrius.org/two-intelligen…

It's already #4thofJuly2018 here in #NewZealand and the #antifa uprising has started. A bunch of them came to my house to take my guns. When I didn't have any they got mad. They took away my wife and made me gay marry an immigrant gang instead. Don't ignore the warnings.
In the street #antifa mobs are pouring biodiesel on piles of flags and using them to like giant scented-oil burners but with drums full of estrogen. I never knew people had so many flags. I guess they were keeping them in hiding. #4thofJuly2018
Instead of the flag we now pledge allegiance the Mann hockey stick climate change graph. We all have to kneel in front of it and sing the anthem five times a day. The anthem now is "Girls & Boys" by Blur but with the words rewritten so it's communism. #antifa #4thofJuly2018

"Ordinary Americans carried out inhumane acts for Trump" - this article pisses me off. Not for the acts it describes but for the fact that it acts like this hasn't always been 'ordinary Americans' baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/o…
Dear White America: It was "Ordinary Americans" who had slaves. It was "Ordinary Americans" who ran native Americans off their lands and put them on reservations. it was "Ordinary Americans" that locked up Japanese Americans in internment camps
This shit ain't "new" under Trump. its the DNA of America. it was build off "Ordinary Americans" either 1. giving the orders 2. doing the deeds 3. sitting around and watching 1 & 2 and doing absolutely fucking nothing about it

1.)

Eric, I'm going to be straight with you. You are not known as the smart Trump, so I am going to have to do multiple Tweets (a thread) to TRY to educate you. It turned out to be 15 tweets.

Yes, we know that all he cares about is "green".
2.)

He proved that with the #TaxScamBill. Got a lot for you guys with that one. #InheritanceTax

You got the "Green Thing" right, so let us talk about the #Racist thing. I know you believe what you say, but your problem is you do not know what #Racism or #Racist means.
3.)

Tell me what you think after you learn what it means, ok.

rac·ist

ˈrāsəst/

noun

a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
