Kellyanne Conway blaming an anti-Semitic massacre on people who think anti-discrimination laws should be enforced is a level of evil that is shocking even from this White House.

@ddale8
Man. Kellyanne Conway suggests the white supremacist Pittsburgh synagogue massacre of Jews and the white supremacist Charleston massacre of Black people happened because of "the anti-religiosity in this country," as demonstrated by late-night comedians.

@atrupar
Conway tries to frame Pittsburgh shooting as really being about "anti-religiosity" writ large.

"The anti-religiosity in this country that is somehow in vogue... making fun of people who express religion, the late night comedians,.. It's always anti-religious."

This is a very important indictment of Trump and his Propaganda machine. Make no mistake. This was Trumps Reichstag fire . A manufactured crisis built on lies, incitement and scapegoating for political power.

This is insidious propaganda. Its’ purpose is to incite fear. The refugees are systematically dehumanized. They are portrayed as a disease carrying Army of invaders, infected vermin surging towards the Border. It is Radicalizing political fanatics who are turning into terrorists

With blood already on its hands, the right wing propaganda ministry has decided to maximize the risk of mass murder if the caravan ever reaches a port of entry. (link: twitter.com/mmfa/status/1056876558219165696 twitter.com/mmfa/status/10…

'Trump campaign manager explains new unprecedented ad, defends President's rhetoric'

@kaitlancollins
As @johndickerson pointed out this morning, the president does not appear in the campaign’s new ad ahead of the midterm elections next week, which targets suburban women.
@parscale

Czechoslovakia was basically an outpost for KGB espionage. As well as Western agencies.

Having said that, it's interesting that the recently poisoned spy Skripal seems to have been in contact with Prague and Spain...

Once a hub of espionage...

BREAKING: A civil RICO suit has been brought against The Trump Organization, Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump in United States District Court for their participation in a pyramid scheme

  1. The stories of the alleged victims of this fraud are absolutely heartbreaking
  1. This is the pyramid scheme Trump said he didn't get paid to endorse. (He was actually paid millions.)
  1. Trump featured the pyramid scheme, which he was paid to endorse, on The Celebrity Apprentice, without disclosing his financial ties to the company

ohmymimi · 29/10/2018 18:26

Beauregard again:
'I don't believe there is anything in my theology'
His theology? Does he make it up as convenient to his prejudices?
'If a stranger sojourn he in your land, he shall not vex him'
‘Cursed be anyone who perverts the justice due to the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow.’
'For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,'

Jeff Sessions responds to protesters: "I don't believe there's anything in my theology that says a secular nationstate cannot have lawful laws to control immigration ... not immoral, not indecent and not unkind to state what your laws are and then set about to enforce them"
