I'm confident that the GOP is responsible for such a goddamn blowout of the Overton Window that we can all say " [Lindsey Graham AND/OR Mitch McConnell] just died. Good I'm glad he [they/it] are dead. He [they/it] can no longer hurt innocent people." Fuck all the way off w/ that sanctimonious shit.

If you file a motion to vacate a hearing, with the goal of having a judge grant your motion and vacate the hearing, but you entitle and file the motion as a "position paper", you're fucking dogshit at this occupation.

This is fucking insane. I called my Republican representative's office in DC this morning. "This is insane. The president is saying an entire civilization will die tonight. Impeach him immediately." Congressional Assistant: "I'll pass along your message." DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!

The Vice President and cabinet need to remove him under the 25th. This is not even Trump's normal. This man is not well. This is horrifying.

This is real It’s being done in our name Congressional Republicans are okay with this

Remember: on the rare occasions when you use cash in the future, and get a dollar bill with Trump's name on it, and the cashier refuses to swap it out for you, if you carry a wallet in your back pocket Trump's name will be mere inches from your butthole. Where it belongs.

Specifically this.

Lieu: "Undocumented immigrants want nothing to do with the govt! To vote, you have to first register. How many undocumented immigrants are gonna go, 'Yes, I'm gonna give all my information to the govt that's maybe trying to deport me. No way!' This is a problem that doesn't exist."

Any other defense attorneys ever seen a prosecuting agency issue a declaration with information they were legally obligated to disclose, stating "hey, we have to give up this shit, but seriously, don't put any stock in it. It's filled with non-credible accusations?" Yeah, didn't think so. JFC.

Call me cynical, but I'm not so confident that a man who has shown himself to give less than zero fucks about the law throughout his entire life is going to faithfully execute the legislation that he tried so aggressively to defeat.

Today I saw 2 women sitting in lawn chairs laughing in the shade, with Christianity signs & church brochures displayed, while only 15 ft away a homeless man laid unclean and certainly hungry & thirsty on a bus bench, in 100+ heat. I wonder which of those teachings I misunderstood when I was young.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
