Donald knows all about "shitholes".

He made the White House one when he walked through the door. He built that. A "shithole" and the cesspool runs through it. The sewer rats he appointed wallow and thrive in the filth.



Our House, built by slaves, taken over by a foreign government, to install a white nationalist and wanna be dictator

This White House has an infestation of rats that will take years to clean. Fact is? I am not sure we will ever be able to clean out the stench.

Why the sudden vicious 'dogwhistle' attacks on Cummings?

Here is something to digest:

Wendy Siegelman tells us why the sudden viscious 'dogwhistle' attacks on Cummings.

🔥 Jared Kushner used WhatsApp to do all his dirty deals.
Cummings just secured that right to open those deals.

Cummings is sick of his constituent's illegal treatment by slumlord Kushner.

*Then there's this..

Cummings securs the right to look into Jared & Ivanka's WhatsApp, Emails,.. which is the method Jared used to do his billion $$$ Maryland real estate deals via Trump's mobster creditors.

Kinda makes you go, hmmm.

This!

Trump calls for probe of Obama book deal



Trump calls for probe of Obama book deal
President Trump on Friday lashed out at Democrats over their ongoing investigations into his administration, suggesting there should instead be probes into former President Obama's book deal and other activities under his predecessor.


snip

"It’s a disgrace," he continued. "We want to find out what happened the last Democrat president. Let’s look into Obama the way they’ve looked into me. From day one they’ve looked into everything we’ve done."

"They could look into the book deal that President Obama made. Let’s subpoena all of his records," Trump continued. "Let’s subpoena all of the records having to do with Hillary Clinton and all of the nonsense that went on with Clinton and her foundation and everything else."

BOOM! The gears are grinding

by Liberal Librarian

snip

Why is this important? Because an impeachment inquiry is a different kettle of fish than regular oversight. Donald Trump and his minions can stall and obfuscate and refuse to respond to subpoenas and tie the process up in the courts. With an official inquiry, that goes out the window. Unless judges want to upend completely our system of governance, Judiciary subpoenas will now be enforced by the courts because they’re part of an impeachment inquiry. This move by chairman Jerry Nadler relates specifically to grand jury records. Those will now be provided to the committee.

In one fell swoop, Democrats have kneecapped the Trump regime. It was always bound to come down to this, because this regime cares nothing for constitutional norms. Now we’ll see if conservative judges do. My guess is that most of them won’t want to go down in infamy.


Strap in, kids. We’re getting there.

Oh, FFS!

The hearing was a shit show, yet not the one some of the media wants to portray it. The Democrats are in disarray, I think not. The GOP made fools of themselves with their theatrics. You wanted a show, the GOP obliged. Louie takes the cake with a 5 minute tirade, screaming, red faced and spittle flying. Dayum, Jack Nicholson should step aside. Lou wins the Oscar hands down.

Then you had Turner with more theatrics slamming one law book after another on his desk , to make his point on exoneration. Dayum that was an impressive stack of books! Bet as a kid he surpassed in building blocks.

You wanted a show and the GOP surpassed expectations. Everyone of them proved beyond a shadow of a doubt who's side they are on, Trump/Russia, the USA be damned. THIS is the biggest takeaway from that hearing.

As for MR Mueller, a fair and precise man with a sharp legal mind. He is a by the books kind of guy and follows the word of law as he as done his entire life. He is a war hero and a leader.

The pundits and others called him frail, bumbling and disheveled. Unable to answer the questions instantly without asking the page that was being quoted. Fact. That was a 400 page report that took two years to compile. Fact. Mueller had dozens of legal minds working on that report. Their were other investigations that were handed over to the proper authorities and are still under investigation. Who here has instant recall? Who here has memorized a 400 page legal report and has no need to check their notes. As for the questions he refused to answer? It is a fact that the investigations are far from over and he can not comment on an ongoing investigation.

Whoa, then their is the ageism. Mueller is 75 and said to be to old and frail and failed at the job he was hired for. I think some here should rethink that...considering our candidates.

What did I miss? Elijah Cummings is using a walker.

He is doing a fantastic job at the presser as are Nadler, Pelosi and Schiff.

For anyone that says Dems are doing nothing? You are dead wrong. They are making the case, the strongest case possible!

I love and support Democrats, ALWAYS!

This response, Wins The Internet.

First the question, then read the response. Thank you Ray, that take down was a thing of beauty. Sadly, Mark can only see white. You, Ray, you painted a beautiful portrait of color, magnificent, bold and beautiful colors and cultures. That is our America.

Democrats are consciously and deliberately destroying our nation as founded, its distinct culture, traditions, and heritage. They are also selling our birthright out from under us and rendering citizenship almost meaninglesss.

Hey Kennedy, Who was it that wanted to override the SCOTUS decision on the census question? What party did he belong to? Who said no one has the right to criticize America or the president while he's in office? Who shamed America by taking babies and kids away from their parents as a deterent?

You've got to be some sort of fanatical fascist idiot to write what you did, especially here. I don't know why Shaw didn't delete it.

What is our "distinct" culture? America is made up of ALL cultures not just White Anglo Saxon supremacists, okay? Our "traditions" are many and varied, not just ONE. We celebrate the 4th of July as our unique tradition. Other countries (Canada for one) have "Thanks giving" days. So even that isn't unique to America. Our traditions come from all over the world. The only truly American traditions come from our Native Americans. It's people like you who are destroying America by looking the other way while tRump breaks laws and embarrasses America with his stupidity every day.

You belong to a cult that can't see its own faults and errors.

The Democratic Congresswomen were not the first...

The Democratic Congresswomen were not the first nor will they last to be on the receiving end of vial racist hatred. It is being stoked by vicious lies and escalating fear that white people live in fear of becoming the minority.

Fact is it happened to Obama as well when Rudy said:

I do not believe that the president loves America," Giuliani is quoted as saying. "He doesn't love you. And he doesn't love me.



"I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America," Giuliani is quoted as saying. "He doesn't love you. And he doesn't love me. He wasn't brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country."

snip

"He's a patriot, I'm sure," the former mayor said. "What I'm saying is that, in his rhetoric, I very rarely hear him say the things that I used to hear Ronald Reagan say, the things I used to hear Bill Clinton say, about how much he loves America. I do hear him criticize America much more often than other American presidents."

The racist attacks against our First Black President and the newly elected women, WOC, need to stopped with your vote. The outrage for these four brave women should be lauded. It should. However where was the outrage when John Lewis and every member of the Black Caucus was booed and shouted down at the DNC convention. At OUR CONVENTION and it was not coming from the right, it came from the left.

Vote. Not a purity vote for today but a vote for a Democrat that will allow us a tomorrow. A future for ourselves and our children's future.

We are a rainbow Nation

The vast majority of Americans are disgusted by Trump’s descent into vile racism. The swing voters who gave Democrats the House will not be won back by calls to blood and soil. They voted Democratic in reaction to those calls for race purity.

The decades before the Civil War involved an argument between white people. Slaves weren’t given agency to determine their own fates. The situation is different now. We are a rainbow nation. And people of color aren’t waiting to be invited to the discussion. They are taking the reins and making sure their voices are heard. And many times what they say is painful to hear, especially if, as a white person, you consider yourself “woke”. Even though I’m Latino, I know I have white privilege because of the color of my skin, and I take in everything, even when it’s painful.

But this is good. We are way past the days when the conversation was just among the members of the dominant group. The formerly voiceless are not keeping quiet. What’s happening now is proof that our country has changed, and irrevocably. The frightened attendees at Trump’s rallies can rail and fulminate all they want, but they will have to adjust to a new reality, where people who don’t look like them or worship like them demand their seat at the table. And they won’t be able to stop the emerging majority.

Of course, part of the fear is that people of color will take revenge for the centuries of denigration. That indicates an awareness that they and their ancestors did, in fact, oppress others. And in their fear, they can’t imagine that they, in turn, will be oppressed.
