Today, I can't.
Author: Raine    Date: 06/20/2018 12:57:20

I can't write about it today.

I have not and will not give up, but today, please forgive me, I can't.

Mornin' all..

I heard they literally launched a manhunt for the guy who shouted that.

I was thinking about the protest on the 30th. You know he won't be in the WH, right. He'll be most likely golf in New Jersey.

I suspect there are people planning to be where he goes.

I hope so. They should be everywhere he is. And playing on loop the sound of crying children and babies wanting their mommy.

Corey Lewndowski has reserved a place in the Special Hell.

Corey on a girl with Downs Syndrome being separated from her mom:

Womp Womp
Of all the awful things this is the worst. Fuck Lewendowski with a chainsaw.

I have never been a person who wanted to perpetrate an act of violence on anyone but some people have some very punchable faces.

They're putting on the full propaganda blitz now too. I'm seeing promoted ads on Twitter from DHS and the Border Patrol.

Comment by Mondobubba on 06/20/2018 14:24:02
Kris Kobach can't lawyer good.

Robinson also detailed Kobach's many, many procedural fuckups in the course of the trial, especially his frequent attempts to bring in new evidence he hadn't provided to the plaintiffs during pre-trial discovery, which of course is just plain not allowed. There's a lot of "disingenuous" and "misleading" in the ruling, and Robinson's frustration with Kobach's bad lawyering is obvious. So he has to take some additional law classes in order to keep his law-talking license, neener-neener.

I am reminded of that time the wished everyone a happy Cinco de Mayo with a gddmn taco bowl.

Comment by Will in Chicago on 06/20/2018 14:29:07
Good morning, bloggers!!!

Raine, I understand. I am ashamed of my country today.

We are in a crisis, fighting for the soul of this nation. We are divided between those who support liberty, justice, and compassion and those who despise compassion, view law as a means of settling scores, and sees freedom as primarily an economic term for the wealthy. Everyone else is free to suffer in poverty while the benefits are to go to the 1 percent and will trickle down to the less deserving. However, they never do.

It is easy to despair. I am angry, yet I think that we need to move past despair into determination. We need to be as determined, in our own time, as those who opposed slavery, fought for the rights of minorities such as African-Americans and Native-Americans, the rights of women to vote and have equality, and fought for the rights of the LGBT community.

There must be no surrender and no retreat. We must pursue every legal means to oppose a policy that separates families and imprisons children. We are standing up for those who cannot stand for ourselves. I have never seen our nation so divided in our lifetime, and I have to wonder where we will go as a nation from here.

(I realized that I borrowed the line no surrender, no retreat from an episode of Babylon 5, where many people opposed a fascist regime that had taken over Earth. I pray that our situation does not become as desperate as the characters in this video. )

I am trying to take it easy on reading too many of these articles today. I really am feeling over whelmed this morning.

That said I am glad I am not alone with that thought , Mondo. They just awful people, the whole lot of them.

I'm trying to only read the ones that heap shame or mockery on Cheetolini and his minions.

It might, let me play with it. Mom suggested we move our "Our America" flag to the middle of the yard from by the rose bush. I think adding more too it might help too. Thinking about breaking out my sewing machine too, at the very least I can manage a straight line

Now can we secede? Never thought I’d say it, but if this is what we’ve become, fuck the United States. It’s time to leave.

Comment by livingonli on 06/20/2018 14:57:34
Considering both Rachel Maddow and Stephanie Rhule cried on air last night because of the latest revelations. It's easy to see how this is breaking a lot of us down.

Bill Kristol has been having broken clock moments a lot more frequently than the saying says he should lately.

Chinese investment in the US drops 90+% so far this year.

This brings up another awfully important point that NO ONE is even thinking about right now - ALL THE FEDERAL BONDS THAT CHINA HOLDS. What happens if & when they finally get sick of the tariff bullshit and just call in payment on those bonds?

We can hope, but we should never have been in this situation in the first place.

Maybe getting shamed as a side dish last night poked her in a better direction. Fingers crossed on that.

I've been wondering about that myself. Seems like so many have forgotten we owe them some serious cash.

Friend of mine (she's an elementary school art teacher who also does children's illustrations, and a totally sweetie) is working on some political stuff and I wanted to share.

The whole way this was handled speaks to the gross incompetence of Cheetolini's administration. It's like the Muslim ban. they went ahead with it without you know, asking for legal opinions, what the optic would be etc, all that stuff that people who know what they are doing would have done. Nope, not these fools. Let's just dump a terrible policy out there. Double or triple down on, try to shift the blame on a bed of lies and when the heat is too much to handle, back off on it a little. Then, when they think no one is looking, try it again. Repeat.

Those are really nice. Clean, simple and to the point.

So, I had to unfriend a former coworker today. For the first time I can remember she posted something political and it was in defense of kids in concentration camps. That is the hill that you are willing to die on? Bye!

Comment by livingonli on 06/20/2018 16:30:11
Did anyone catch Malcolm Nance on this morning? It does make me scared that if we don't win the mid-terms that democracy could be dead in this country. And how many people could be very well be under Russian control? Especially when you realize how much of the far right in both Europe and the United States is being bankrolled by Russia. He even used the Hydra analogy.

That's the thing, I want to know if they will donate it.

I really do.

Comment by livingonli on 06/20/2018 16:50:04
Like Trump ever actually donates to charity. Just see how his family runs the Trump Foundation. And while this is going on, congressional Republicans are trying to get a vote to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security to offset the deficits created by the tax cuts.
