In response to one of Trump’s incoherent WITCH HUNT! tweets in the last 12 hours, Rep. Adam Schiff sent this:

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff 12 hrs

Adam Schiff Retweeted Donald J. Trump

Given all the secret meetings with the Russians, the denials, the false statements, and the guilty pleas, your attacks on the Republican, respected, decorated, Vietnam Veteran running the investigation could not be more false, or transparent.

'White House: Death of more than 60 Palestinians at Israeli hands is "a propaganda attempt” by Hamas and Palestinians.'
Raj Shah, Del. Press Sec. to the President of the United States of America.

Dep. Press Sec., that is.

'When we asked SecState Pompeo if he had anything to say anything on the violence in Israel right now... he turned his back, and walked away.'

Source of the $1m inauguration donation tracked down:
'One of the largest contributions to President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee in 2016 appears to have been orchestrated by a set of powerful conservative legal activists who have since been put in the driver’s seat of the administration’s push to select and nominate federal judges.'

Oh aye. So say we all.

Oh Well.

"President Donald Trump’s national security adviser wants North Korea to ship all of its nuclear weapons to a US lab in Tennessee, to make sure Kim Jong-un follows through on his promise to dismantle the program.
North Korea’s nuclear weapons should be dismantled and sent to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee if Kim wants to see a relaxation of sanctions, John Bolton said during an interview on ABC’s ‘This Week’ on Sunday.
“I think the implementation of this decision means getting rid of all the nuclear weapons, dismantling them, taking them to Oak Ridge”, said Bolton. “It means getting rid of the uranium enrichment and plutonium processing capabilities. It means addressing the ballistic missile issue. A lot of things like that.”

Oops!

Lweji · 15/05/2018 07:42

This I believe.

"Thae Yong Ho, North Korea's former deputy ambassador to the UK, said he did not believe Kim would agree to a US request of a "complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization" due to likelihood that it would "strike at the core of North Korea's power structure.""

Or he'd be found out as not having much to gloat about.

Love that headline.

Strangely, the deputy press secretary has mastered the exact sulky expression that is SHS's default. He must have been studying her performance or something because he resembles her in all the wrong ways. Unless that's the expression that settles on you once you've sold out.

Wow, things are closing in: Artemenko, who delivered the peace plan to Cohen and Flynn, is being interviewed by Mueller.
Also of note: Alex Orono, the Ukrainian businessman who arranged the meeting died suddenly in Week 15 of #TheList.

Another also: Alex Orono, the Ukrainian businessman who arranged the "peace plan" meeting (and died in Week 15 of #TheList), was the father-in-law to Michael Cohen's brother. It's such a small world.

'The Poor People’s campaign kicked off 40 days of nonviolent protest on Monday, reviving King’s anti-poverty efforts and demanding action.'

I read a John Bolton’s remarks also cozie. I think, the likelihood of that is less than my teenagers ever deciding of their own volition to put their phone down and go for a walk in the sun.

While trying to find out more about Pompeo's religious beliefs, I saw it mentioned he is a dominionist. I've yet to find anything to substantiate this, but I found the article linked below. Truly scary stuff.
'Dominionism is the theocratic idea that regardless of theological view, means, or timetable, Christians are called by God to exercise dominion over every aspect of society by taking control of political and cultural institutions.'

Well, we're at the seaside for a week, near Monterey. The RV park doesn't have MSNBC so I'll be missing Rachel and will be depending on you all to keep me updated Wink.

We got our ballots for the primary (next month). Will be marking and sending them in as soon as we get home!

Whatever happens in the end - these threads have been an amazing education! Thank you to all who have posted and led me in directions I never knew existed!
I thought I'd lived long enough to have got the measure of human depravity but I was mistaken... the scales have well and truly dropped from my eyes. (Having my 5 minutes of despair today)

Do you think that people are actually geared up to go and vote in the midterms, Across? (That's going to be critical.)
