@brianrayguitar
Potus and the GOP have been trying to own weekend twitter by stirring shit and baiting the left. Were all too willing to be Charlie Brown. Screw Donald. #ignoretheignorant

About 20 minutes before this morning's grotesque Trump rant, Fox & Friends ran a segment about "the Squad" and aired comments Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley (both born in the U.S.) made at Netroots Nation.

Stephen King: "The armbands come next, right?"
Stephen King
@StephenKing
First, you stoke hatred and fear of minorities. Then you round them up and put them in camps. Next, you send out raiding parties to get those who have been driven into hiding. The armbands come next right?

Rick Wilson: "The only rules of the game are this: Win the Electoral College."
Rick Wilson
@TheRickWilson
1/ There's a very passionate reaction to @realDonaldTrump's racisty racism this morning. It's justified, but pointless.
Let me remind you: there is no bottom. There is no better Trump. It's never a joke, or 87-dimensional chess, or some clever strategery.
https://twitter.com/TheRickWilson/status/1150475290411438081
2/ The point you're missing is that he cannot be shamed. He is immune to moral suasion. He really *is* that much of a monstrous ass.
It should stand as a reminder that he's going to play to the white nat alt-reich base and you're going to scream about it while you should...
3/ ...be blasting his message to suburban women voters who broke from the GOP in 2016 and 2018, and ONLY in the swing states
They don't want socialism. (Sorry, Squad)
They want decency and sanity.
They oppose cruelty and brutality.
Make this race a referendum on Trump.
4/ I do not care if you get 103% turnout in California. I care that you understand the rules of the game, and the only rules of the game are this:
Win the Electoral College.
His racist shitbag act helps you win the swing states if you can just not step on your genitals.

@margbrennan: Trump suggested that foreign-born members of Congress need to go back to 'the places from which they came.' How's that helpful?
CBP BOSS MARK MORGAN: You're going to have to ask POTUS
MB: You don't know who he's talking about?
MM: I think you need to talk to him

Trump: "Great reviews!" on the "clean but crowded men" and the "clean children's detention centers"
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Fridays tour showed vividly, to politicians and the media, how well run and clean the childrens detention centers are. Great reviews! Failing @nytimes story was FAKE! The adult single men areas were clean but crowded - also loaded up with a big percentage of criminals......

BREAKING: Rush claims what you say about Tom Sawyer's company no longer adequately covers society
TORONTO - Members of the Canadian Progressive Rock band Rush claim that the lyrics to their 1980 hit "Tom Sawyer" no longer reflect reality.
"What you said about Tom Sawyer in 1991 doesn't really reflect society in 2019," said bassist and vocalist Geddy Lee.
Guitarist Alex Lifeson added "That thing about his mind is not for rent to any God or government, don't put him down as arrogant" pretty much died in November 2016."
Although the band has retired from recording and performing, their record label has issued a recall of all copies of "Tom Sawyer."
"We recommend that our fans listen to "La Villa Strangiato" instead," said Lee. "It's an instrumental. That shit never changes."

Trump: "Weak, ineffective & stupid are not exactly the qualities that Republicans were looking for"
Donald J. Trump

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is a far superior leader than was Lame Duck Speaker Paul Ryan. Tougher, smarter and a far better fundraiser, Kevin is already closing in on 44 Million Dollars. Pauls final year numbers were, according to Breitbart, abysmal. People like.....
