Senator @ChuckGrassley just nuked @SenSchumer and @SenFeinstein #GrassleyKO
Here's a speech @ChuckGrassley gave on the Senate floor a couple of days ago. Note: future Senate speeches are cancelled until the wrecked, burnt out husks of several Democrats are cleared away: judiciary.senate.gov/grassley-minor…
He might be 84 but he's still coming out swinging. The bell goes & BANG, right away @SenSchumer takes a crunching, "absolutely false" hook right to the body 💪🏻
Three devastating quote jabs taken from his own side, he's reeling already ref!
tries to counter by accusing @ChuckGrassley of deliberately not interviewing Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort. Is this the start of a fightback?
Nope. It's a swing and a miss.

Grassley counters with a one two combo:

👊He wanted to interview Manafort & had secured an interview. *The Dems withdrew the subpoena* & then Mueller raided his house

👊Feinstein unilaterally released Glenn Simpsons's testimony so Kushner bailed
At the end of the first round, @SenSchumer's corner advises him to throw a few "you're a Trump lackey for releasing documents" punches

No joy: a counter knocks him flat on his back. DEM Ranking Member Feinstein SUPPORTED the release of the documents by @ChuckGrassley! POW 💥
Do not try and put words in the mouth of @ChuckGrassley. He'll chew them up along with broken glass and enjoy it. Consider this your final warning @SenSchumer
What have you done for transparency @SenSchumer? Don't get back up!
💥What have you done Senator?

👊What help have you been Senator?

💪🏻Anything, Senator?

👊👊👊What is @SenSchumer good for? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
At this point it's not even a fair fight. But he still went there anyway:

💥TRUMP IS YOUR PRESIDENT💥

The ref intervenes: Are you alright @SenSchumer, do you want to carry on? How many fingers am I holding up?
Schumer, drenched in his own blood and sweat, sees an image of Stormy Daniels, thinking he's hallucinating. But it's just a TV ad break at the end of round 2. #CNN
It's time to finish this.

💪🏻 The Senate hasn't been able to carry out long transcribed Senate staff interviews with current or former DOJ/FBI officials, the very people it is supposed to be overseeing!

👊And you're complaining we didn't haul Kushner in here?

💥WHACK
Wasting taxpayer money to bludgeon political opponents isn't @ChuckGrassley's job

He does that for free 👊👊👊

He's going to keep fighting. @SenSchumer is on the ropes...
...@ChuckGrassley winds up a big right hand

INSPECTOR GENERAL NAME DROP 🚨🚨🚨🚑🚑🚑
THIS IS NOT OVER
But this fight is. Only one winner.

Announcement expected Friday —> Trump Bars Immigrants Who Cross Border Illegally From Seeking Asylum nyti.ms/2yZaV5e?smid=n…
Here is the DOJ/DHS interim rule

Reading this it suggests the President will issue a Proclamation barring asylum from any aliens that do not present themselves at a port of entry — bye bye Caravan

justice.gov/opa/pr/doj-and…
"The AG and DHS Secretary have determined [that] authority should be exercised to render ineligible for a grant of asylum any alien who is subject to a proclamation suspending or restricting entry along the southern border with Mexico but who nonetheless enters the US..."

So far Whitaker as Acting AG is opposed by all the right people. Shumer, Nadler, Schiff

Good pick @realDonaldTrump
Eric Swalwell and Ted Lieu too. The dream team of opposition
Add Feinstein to the list 💯

1⃣ Let's take a look at how the Senate works. I've spoken to a decent segment of certain political persuasions to warrant a fresh look. At first, specifically be concerning voting procedures. #Senate ⬇️

#SchumerShutdown #SchoolHouseRock #BuildTheWall @DNC #WeThePeople
2⃣ Aside from Revenue(tax) bills, bills can originate either in the House, the Senate or both simultaneously. When the bill has been polished it goes to a vote. There are two primary types of vote & one that is considered a countermeasure. #Senate ⬇️

#SchumerShutdown @DNC
3⃣ Out of Roll Call, Voice Vote & Division Vote, Voice is most used. The bill is brought to a vote & Senators verbally call off 'Yea' or 'Nay'. The presiding officer mentally tallies the verbal vote as best they can & announces the results. #Senate ⬇️

Watch Julian discuss the book The Wikileaks Files. It shows how there’s been little change between Bush & Obama. It reveals from files dated back to 2006 that it was never a humanitarian crisis. It has always been a regime change. #Unity4J
The Wikileaks Files shows how U.S. tried to get Brazil to join us in undermining Venezuela. They show how “the free market” comes into play with the U.S. acting as a sales agent, as well as, enacting sanctions when countries don’t adopt corporation friendly policy. #Unity4J
The U.S. Empire is a modern Empire. It functions through the 1,400 U.S. bases in over 200 countries and thru trade. These entities wield power for U.S. companies, not average Americans. American interest + what benefits the 1% #Unity4J

I was thinking about how bad USPS's delivery notifications are and joked to myself "The federal government? lying to the people? IMAGINE THAT" and then realized:

I used to work for the federal government. And one of the first things I did was build a system to lie about progress
see we had this website to let you download some 15 million old weather records, one at a time. but they were in a weird format so we had to convert them before letting you download them. the problem is that took like up to 25 seconds, worse if more than one person was doing it
so originally it just sat there at the "download" page waiting for it to load. but users were impatient and would refresh the page or try again, and that just made it worse.
cause now we'd have more copies of the converter running at the same time, so it'd get EVEN SLOWER

Yes, our government has been taken over by Russia using their agent trump, getting financial backing from far right libertarian Billionaires, propaganda by Fox, votes from radical religious and hate groups, enabled by a complicit corrupt Congress owned by those same billionaires!
Now it seems due to a major flaw in our Constitution we have only one option; vote! #BlueWave2018 Yes there is #Mueller who is making progress but it’s obviously going to take awhile. Our founders didn’t allow for politicians becoming so corrupt they would cede power to an enemy!
The problems however are too numerous for a few tweets, but you all know them already. trump designed a cabinet to help him destroy the country. He’s acting like s dictator and as each day goes by, those actions and statements are becoming more egregious. His goals are clear and
