Mcdonalds presumably is an obvious one. But I suspect there are loads I don't know.

I would like to know who those FBI people were.

www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/clinton-emails-fbi-inspector-general-doj?utm_term=.xxgywEPeY#.njZqy3Q8e

The inspector general’s office found that the FBI’s policy limiting contact with reporters was “widely ignored during the period we reviewed.”

'Investigators found “numerous FBI employees” at all levels of the department who were in contact with the media “with no official reason.” The report also indicated that there is an ongoing investigation into instances where FBI employees “improperly received benefits from reporters, including tickets to sporting events, golfing outings, drinks and melas, and admittance to nonpublic social events.”'

Thanks Gump for new thread, we have to keep pushing through on this. For every single person that pops in and reads, there might be someone who can help someone somewhere, we can but hope and although I am based in Uk on the whole, it's just wanting to feel that I'm doing something. My next plan is London march in July when Trump dares to show his face here.

I've tweeted TMay to say where is your outrage on this. The NIreland Deputy PM has condemned it wholeheartedly, as has David Lammy MP for NLondon a particular favourite of mine.

It's official.

The fuckers have left the UN Human Rights Council.

Nikki Haley has announced it.

Can I just leave this here? slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/06/how-you-can-fight-family-separation-at-the-border.html
Expressing outrage on FB or MN isn't enough. Please folks, DO something real.

They don't care about HR abusers. They don't want to be called out.

NEW DETAILS: Rudy Giuliani tells @DanaBashCNN he was interviewed by the DOJ inspector general on February 28, 2018. He says he told investigators he did not get a leak about the Clinton investigation before the 2016 election, but was speculating about more shoes to drop.

This is the full audio with translation for anyone who hasn't heard it and can bear it.

Seven minutes of audio from inside a detention center last week.

Ten Central American children separated from their parents. A distraught but determined six-year-old Salvadoran girl pleads repeatedly for someone to call her aunt.

Just when you think he can't get any worse he proves everyone wrong.

He is quite the most dangerous and appalling bully. Real redneck politician.

This business with the children is absolutely heartbreaking. How anyone can condone this is beyond me. It fills me with revulsion that this dreadful individual is going to come here in a few weeks and be received by this country. He is beyond vile.

NEW: An associate of Michael Cohen reportedly told @CNN he's willing to cooperate with investigators: "He knows a lot about Trump ... If they want information on Trump, he [Cohen] is willing to give it."

This is actually all pretty scary and I am just sitting here feeling so so sad about the whole thing. Poor little muppets away from their mum and dad - my boys would not cope :(

Donald, Adolf, ... AngrySad

Really really scary ..

What can we do????

I DO NOT WANT him here on the 13th. He cans F*!k right off

Hellohellohelloagain · 19/06/2018 23:36

I actually think I'm going to physically vomit with fear and disgust. This man is terrifying. The rest of the word needs to do something. What the f*!k is going on.

AcrossthePond55 · 19/06/2018 23:41

Shit. Shitshitshit. Leaving the UNHRC under such a bullshit premise is ridiculous and obvious. In reality, it's probably more a 'quit before you get sacked' move.

PS Love the Doobies, mimi!! Takin' it to the Streets for sure!!! And for Scrotus' posse the encore will have to be "What a Fool Believes". The chorus is quite apropos.

I cant sleep as i keep thinking about the children 😔 im in uk so i cant really do anything

AcrossthePond55 · 20/06/2018 00:47

chicken, you can. Write Teresa May and your MP, ask demand that they make a statement denouncing the situation and condemning Scrotus for not ending it. Write the American consulate and express your condemnation. Attend rallies planned for when Scrotus is in the UK. Keep informed of any boycotts or actions or Acts that Parliament is considering.

You may feel you're just one small voice, but it only takes one small voice to create an uproar.
