Sunday Reads: New Years Wish

Now that Trump's Transition Team is officially under the microscope of Robert Mueller, this is a good time to remind everyone that the head of the Transition Team was MIKE PENCE.

And if both Pence & Trump resign or are thrown from office at once, Nancy Pelosi becomes President!

Little end-of-the-year observation: we have a president who was illegally installed by our worst enemy, who hates democracy unless it benefits him, and who unceremoniously has a dead rat sitting on the top of his head. Happy New Year!

This is how the House Republican effort to undermine Mueller by “investigating the investigators” ends. Not with a bang, but with a Friday, buried-in-the-holidays whimper, and one foot out the door. https://t.co/oO0Nhkmg5a

House Republicans end their reign with a humiliating whimper

There it is. Trump has singlehandely destroyed the entire US Soybean commodity market. China has new suppliers so It’s not coming back. #Winning https://t.co/sbu8N3aroE

Remember: we're borrowing money from the Chinese to pay a subsidy to farmers who aren't selling their soy beans to the Chinese because Trump has a trade war with the Chinese.

Cue Inception music. https://t.co/mWeyk50HJI

Border agents took antibiotics away from her sick baby & detained them in a freezing cell called an icebox. When she asked for help, agents called her an “invader” who “wasn’t in a position to be asking for anything.” After 5 days, the baby had pneumonia.https://t.co/vv9kD65b8y

In which the President of the United States attacks the father of a dead child by falsely accusing him of being directly responsible for her death

Every day this entire nation hits a new low and there's *one man* responsible for it and he's not a migrant https://t.co/yg74kEsCqT

Maybe I’m old-fashioned but when children die while in the custody of the federal government I expect the president to not be a fucking asshole about it.

McConnell received $3.5M in campaign donations from Russian Oligarch-Linked Firm

Remember, this man blocked the President of the United States of America from letting the American people know about the act of war by Russia during the election.

Follow the money, always.

If the Steele Dossier is correct and Trump was offered 19% of the commissions from the brokerage of Russian oil giant Rosneft in exchange for him lifting sanctions, and Trump agreed, that would amount to TREASON.

That's not American First!
That's Trump & Russia First!

On Day 8 of the #TrumpShutdown, Trump chose to accelerate his assault on families during the holidays by freezing their pay.

Yet he gives his rich friends $2 trillion in tax cuts that are paid for by gutting Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.https://t.co/B2aQM4nUOR

The White House is starving out the island of Puerto Rico by denying the disaster recovery funds it needs.

First went the schools. Now, women are going missing across the island.

If we let this to happen to some Americans, what prevents it from happening to others?To all of us? https://t.co/6jhuOYQhao

John Kelly is a racist scumbag.

When you find yourselves dissing Kamala Harris as "inexperienced" while pushing Beto, maybe ask yourselves how the former AG of the most populous state is "inexperienced."

Having a vagina doesn't make you inexperienced.
