Trump puts kids in cages because he wants his wall. How low can he go? The authoritarian shitshow continues ...

Just seen your Eric Garland/ Kennedy tweet, MissMarples. Now the timing of retirement makes more sense.

Sorry, can't face watching T. today, or hearing his voice, Lweji

That's why I wrote the time from where you can listen to our president only (or mostly).

Good thinking, Batman! Not at my most alert today. Will give it a go.

'It’s hard for some of us to imagine what it must be like to be someone who can promote and defend a policy like that of the Trump administration towards migrant children. It’s hard to imagine that such people are Christians, too, and not just because the Bible says we should welcome the stranger at our door. It also says that Jesus Christ was born a refugee child.

What brutal choir sings for this congregation?'

Babies as young as 2 months old are detained.

We want to know what will happen to these babies if they have no one to advocate for them.

It’s finally happened, the moment the Trump family has been waiting for all year: a serious speaker on North Korea - at the #jejuforum - suggested we may soon see a Trump Tower in Pyongyang & ‘The Apprentice’ on NK state television. I figure I’m now living in a parallel universe

@RobertEKelly
since people are asking, no, I’m not joking. Was just said about 10 minutes ago

I'm not surprised. There were talks about McDonalds in NK. That was code for Trump hotels, which was clear even at that time.

O'Donnell on the latest judicial ruling on separations. Reporter Cal Perry's piece from the Texas border, including an encounter with a local rancher, around 5.15 mins in, is disturbing (but, in these times, not the least surprising.)

Mimi oh my fucking God. That link.
Show trials for terrified three year olds. This is child cruelty and madness. What the fuck do they think they doing?! It makes my blood run cold.

Making America Great Again, Net , it's Trumpland now, unless the Dems. can turn it around. Judging by what Pelosi said about Ocasio Cortez's win, they still don't get it.

Trumpland:

The North Korean national anthem was played at a Virginia Women for Trump gala.

It was to pay tribute to the Trump-Kim Summit. '

Trumpland, where spite and casual cruelty are badges of honour:

This is an open invitation to Russia to keep meddling in our elections -- to help the Republican Party in the midterms and Trump in his re-election.

@realDonaldTrump
Russia continues to say they had nothing to do with Meddling in our Election! Where is the DNC Server, and why didn’t Shady James Comey and the now disgraced FBI agents take and closely examine it? Why isn’t Hillary/Russia being looked at? So many questions, so much corruption!

This thing with the children, it's just so hard to believe it can be happening, like this is a nightmare and we'll wake up but we won't :(

This is what they do to vulnerable people. A warning to everyone in the US.

If they could, they'd let people die from hunger and illness, and non-white people would be safely tucked away in ghettos, only getting out to work in factories or in housekeeping.

'The Supreme Court Isn’t Going to Restrain Trump'

'From voting rights to the travel ban, Republican-appointed justices rubber-stamped the GOP’s agenda this term. Anthony Kennedy’s retirement will only further boost the party’s prospects.'

How do we stop this NOW? How can we resist? How can we do more than the Germans did, and turn back Trump's tide? It feels as if resistance is futile, there is, as I have said before, no coherent opposition and a feeling of helplessness in the face of the steam-roller of the orange-faced white supremacist "leader of the free world" - not that you can call the US that these days. I keep expecting someone in the US to take the lead and say Basta, like Avenatti but more so..
OMG, coincidentally, just seen this!

@MichaelAvenatti

Off topic – the candidate in 2020 better be a take no prisoners street fighter who is prepared to go 15 rounds in a VERY brutal campaign. It will be a cage match like no other in modern times. The future of the republic may depend on it.

'A North Carolina state House of Representatives candidate who recently won the Republican primary has claimed Jews are Satanic, U.S. soldiers are being poisoned by the government and that God is a white supremacist.

Russell Walker, the Republican candidate for House District 48’s Scotland and Hoke counties, lost the support of the North Carolina Republican Party this week after being tied to several racist and bizarre claims. Walker’s personal campaign website and Facebook pages tied to him espouse his belief in white supremacy and what he sees as the Christian Bible’s support for the white race above all others. Walker has filed lawsuits to keep Confederate symbols in public places as well as against the Hoke County News-Journal for refusing to publish his conspiratorial letters to the editor.'
