The KKK has turned into the RRR: Russian Racist Republicans

Trump says he'll meet with 'inner city pastors' amid racial controversies
President Trump said Monday he will meet with a group of “Inner City Pastors” amid a series of racial controversies he has stoked with his attacks on black lawmakers.
Trump tweeted the meeting, which was not previously on his schedule, will take place at 2 p.m.


Cabinet Unanimously Votes That Trump Is Not Racist. - Andy Borowitz

Call The Saudis What They Are: Barbarians
The assassination of Jamal Khashoggi was no aberration. A Vanity Fair investigation reveals how Saudi Arabia attempts to abduct, repatriate—and sometimes murder—citizens it regards as enemies of the state.


Gilroy police said they engaged the shooter within one minute. In that time, he shot 16 people, killing a 6-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl. That's the power of automatic weapons. There is NO scenario where a troubled 19-yr-old should be able to buy a weapon of war. - Jennifer Hayden tweet




Republican Shenanigans

Trump says I’m a troublemaker & con man. I do make trouble for bigots. If he really thought I was a con man he would want me in his cabinet. - Rev. Al Sharpton





Trump on cities

Atlanta: "falling apart"

Baltimore: "a filthy place"

Chicago: "totally out of control"

Philadelphia: "struggling"

San Francisco: "disgusting," "not even recognizable"

Moscow, Russia: "a great city" and "an amazing place"

Perhaps he should move. - Brandon Friedman



Republicans Running For Away From Office
GOP Rep. Rob Bishop (Utah) on Monday confirmed that he will not seek another term in the House, the Deseret News reported.
Bishop, who serves as the top Republican on the House Natural Resources Committee, was first elected to the lower chamber in 2002.





Robert Mueller has done a service to our country by shedding light on Trump’s criminality. 
I don’t ever want to hear about optics again. 
And I really wish, rather than one more word from Trump, we’d only hear the clang of a jail cell. - Stephen Beschloss

The President and Senate Majority Leader are willing to spend $2.5 billion to build a wall to keep Latin American asylum seekers from “invading” our country, but NOT $1  to keep Russian cyber terrorists from invading our elections!THAT’S EITHER INSANE OR IT’S TREASON. - Ken Olin






The Baltimore Sun Eviscerates Trump 
In case anyone missed it, the president of the United States had some choice words to describe Maryland’s 7th congressional district on Saturday morning. Here are the key phrases: “no human being would want to live there,” it is a “very dangerous & filthy place,” “Worst in the USA” and, our personal favorite: It is a “rat and rodent infested mess.” 






Hillary was wrong to call Trump's supporters a basket of deplorables. she should have called them a f*cktangle of hateful racist sh*tweasels. - Jeff Tiedrich

“I made my way about a mile or so into Badwater Basin around 7:00 p.m., looking for these interesting salt polygons. The temperatures were still well over 100 degrees and the winds were blowing like crazy. Clouds had been hanging around Death Valley all day so I knew there was a good chance for a nice sunset, but I wasn’t expecting anything like this. As the sun started to set behind the distant mountains the sky exploded with colors I’ve never seen at sunset. I was so beautiful that I was having a hard time even taking pictures. Eventually I just had to stop, smile and take it all in.” Photo courtesy of Brandon Moore.

Trump calls for probe of Obama book deal

Trump calls for probe of Obama book deal
President Trump on Friday lashed out at Democrats over their ongoing investigations into his administration, suggesting there should instead be probes into former President Obama's book deal and other activities under his predecessor.



What in the world is Trump going to probe about Obama's book deal? The font size?


Imagine Obama, while running for President, was secretly working to build a hotel in Iran that would make him millions. And imagine Obama repeatedly lied to the American people & denied he had any business deals with Iran.

Imagine how pissed off Republicans would be. - Joe Walsh, Former Republican Congressman

Louisiana Schools Data Held Ransom
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) declared a state-wide emergency this week following cyberattacks on several school districts.
The declaration comes after three local school districts were hit by what local media have described as ransomware attacks, where hackers take over and encrypt vital cyber systems and demand a ransom to release the data.


Those attacking Robert Mueller’s style rather than the substance of his report are doing so for a reason. - Josh Campbell




Republican Shenanigans

Mitch McConnell Blocks Legislation That Would Make It Harder For Russians To Vote. - Andy Borowitz






The Russians Had The Ability To Change Voter Data in 2016. Do You Think They Did? 
A Senate Intelligence Committee report on Thursday indicated that Russian hackers “were in a position to delete or change voter data” in Illinois in 2016, but found no evidence that such a thing happened.
The report also found that Russia targeted election systems in all 50 states.






If you're wondering how batsh*t-crazy Trump's 2020 campaign is going to get, please keep in mind that he is running for re-election with full knowledge that losing means he'll likely be prosecuted for crimes he committed as the sitting president of the United States. - Jon Zal

I was not disappointed by Mueller. He was very clear about  this whole nightmare. I don’t need him to wow me with his delivery. That report stands for itself it is stunning and shows clearly our country is in incredible peril under Trumps leadership. #impeach - Patricia Arquette

HE SOLD OUT HIS COUNTRY FOR A BUILDING IN MOSCOW.  Take that in, America.  Let it sink in, that you have elected a mobster who doesn’t give a flying f*ck about you. - Bette Midler


Trump Gets Pranked 
As Donald Trump addressed a rightwing crowd in Washington on Tuesday, the audience roared in support – but it was a doctored onscreen display that ultimately took center stage...First, the eagle has not one but two heads – making it look a lot like Russia’s coat of arms. And instead of holding arrows, as the bird does in the US seal, it’s holding golf clubs.






Mueller: I wrote a detailed, 400-page report explaining an attack on our country.  I spent years on it.  See also: indictments + people in prison.

Pundits: yes, but can you do it with jazz hands?  A table flip?  A racist tweet?  Otherwise, we'll be bored. - Sara Danner Dukic




Republican Shenanigans

Republicans Defend Trump’s Decision To Give Putin Office Space At White House. - Andy Borowitz


Russian Ties To Maryland's Voter Info
Maryland’s Democratic senators want a Senate committee to require disclosures of foreign investments in U.S. election systems, an alarm bell set off by a Russian oligarch’s connection to their state’s voter registration system. 





On the same day Mueller warned Russia is interfering in the 2020 election “as we sit here” & that accepting foreign assistance has become the “new normal”, Senate GOP blocked two election security bills, including one requiring campaigns inform FBI of offers of foreign help. - Jim Sciutto, CNN




This is simple. McConnell does not think Trump can win without Russia’s help.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blocked two election security measures on Thursday, arguing Democrats are trying to give themselves a "political benefit."
The move comes a day after former special counsel Robert Mueller warned about election meddling in 2020, saying Russia was laying the groundwork to interfere in the 2020 election "as we sit here."
