What does the US Constitution say about that?

Ah. The First Amendment

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances

Ooo what deleted naughtiness did I miss?

Wow can't believe Trump tweeted that new trans policy - though I guess that's his favourite way to let people know about new policies and things

An interesting thread...

THREAD: Remember: Trump is Putin's "Useful Idiot." When idiots are no longer useful, they become liabilities to their masters. 1/

That's when the idiot is "dealt with."

The House and Senate overwhelmingly passed a Russia sanctions bill 2/
...which allows lawmakers to block Trump from any attempt to roll back those sanctions against Moscow.

Master Putin is not pleased. 3/
His idiot is between a rock & a hard place. Trump is compromised. Putin wants to create chaos in the US. Brace yourselves for what comes. 4/
Additionally, Trump thinks by firing Sessions, he can get Mueller fired and that pesky FBI investigation will go away. 5/
It will not go away. Neither will the Schneiderman (NYAG) investigation (RICO and, sex trafficking) - see @TrueFactsStated's timeline. 6/
which will be just as, if not more, damning for Trump, his family and his aides.

The Sessions exit will happen soon and when it does, 7/
Pandora's Box will open & the demons from hell will be flying over our heads.

I know I sound dramatic - but these are dramatic times. 8/
Where this country goes will be up to us. We need to acknowledge what's happening, resist it and most importantly, DO NOT LET PUTIN WIN. 9/
Putin wants to destroy us. We're the deciders. Not him.
Stay strong. #RESIST #Solidarity. End.

The sex trafficing bit is very interesting. Which is why Mueller is looking into Trump Model Agency which was going to be closed down in May after 18 years, but is still trading.

"Trump’s modeling agency had a history of employing foreign models who said they violated immigration rules by working in the United States without work visas. That investigation also detailed how Trump Models forced its recruits to pay sky-high rent to live in crammed living quarters, while levying a dizzying number of fees and expenses on its talent that left some models in deep debt to the agency"

Apparently some of these girls were as young as 13 or 14.

Does the agency tie in with that Dutch documentary that we talked about a few threads back? Or the rape cases?

I'm not sure when it's due to start.

Thanks cozie.

Thanks cozie.

lionheart there's a lot about that on Louise Mensch' s Twitter feed in the last few days if you can stand to look!!

I only understand about a quarter of what she says.

Hmm.

I'll bet they didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Again.

cozie I fear you underestimate the power of people to disregard what they don't want to believe (re people's thought about sessions leaving)
Depressing article alert:

thehill.com/homenews/administration/343833-poll-nearly-half-of-trump-voters-think-he-won-the-popular-vote?amp

But of course trump voters does not mean everybody. It just amazes me that people are persuaded by his words over what they can see and hear with their own eyes and ears!

I hope you aren't right, Pain, but you may well be. After all, I think that's true of all of us?

I have just one word for you, Pain.

Lizards.

Sanders doing letters from kids praising Trump.

It gives me comfort

Ill timed cross post orlantina, that does not give me comfort

Lizard Rulers

Now 12 people would be interesting - but 12 million?
