El Paso congresswoman to Trump: Don't come here

El Paso congresswoman to Trump: Don't come here
Rep. Veronica Escobar said Monday that President Donald Trump "is not welcome" in her hometown of El Paso, Texas, as the city recovers from a mass shooting that killed 21 people and wounded more than two dozen.

Maybe if we start calling mass shootings “mass late-term abortions” the GOP will try to prevent them. - OhNoSheTwint

USA: It's a mental health issue.

WORLD: We have those. We don't have mass shootings.

USA: Then it's a video game issue.

WORLD: We have those. We don't have mass shootings.

USA: It's very complex.

WORLD: No, it's gun laws.

USA: Prayer in school?

WORLD: God, you're stupid. - Mrs. Betty Bowers






Forget The Trade War With China, How About A War War?
China said Tuesday that it "will not stand idly by" and will take countermeasures if the U.S. deploys intermediate-range missiles in the Asia-Pacific region, which Washington has said it plans to do within months.


Trump knows he’s in deep sh*t right now politically. So everything he says & tweets these next few days is just to cover his big ass. - Joe Walsh tweet

SHOOTER: I was inspired by trump.

- Imani Gandy tweet




New York Times One Upped By The New York Daily News
The New York Times may have caused controversy for the soft-touch way in which it framed President Donald Trump’s comments about the weekend’s mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.
The New York Daily News, however, cut straight to the chase.
Trump’s hometown tabloid used its Tuesday cover to hammer the president for his “Empty Words.”


I canceled my subscription. I know a lot of folks will tell me I'm wrong. I will miss it. But I can't keep rewarding such awful news judgment. "Trump Urges Unity Against Racism" is almost as bad as their full-page Comey letter coverage just before 2016 election. Nobody learns. - Joan Walsh

It aint the left that's radical

When we condemn the racist venom coming from the President's mouth and point out the bigotry of his policies, it's not an academic question, it's not a political game, it's about life and death. The President regularly inspires killers. He is a part of the problem. - John Legend


Will More Of The Mueller Report Be Unredacted?
A federal judge signaled Monday he’s considering removing the Mueller report’s redactions.
During more than two hours of oral arguments in Washington, District Judge Reggie Walton appeared on several occasions to side with attorneys for BuzzFeed and the nonprofit Electronic Privacy Information Center, which are seeking to remove the black bars covering nearly 1,000 items in former special counsel Robert Mueller’s final 448-page final report.





When our children ask us what we did when innocents were massacred, the president fomented racism, and immigrants were caged and cast as sub-human, what will we tell them? Each of us owns our individual response. And our collective response answers who we are as a country. - Sally Yates, former Deputy Attorney General

What a difference one letter makes

'Too bad!': Trump seizes on Cummings robbery amid Baltimore attacks
President Donald Trump weighed in Friday on a burglary at Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings’ home last weekend in Baltimore, which the president has relentlessly attacked for several days as squalid and poorly managed.
“Really bad news! The Baltimore house of Elijah Cummings was robbed. Too bad!” he tweeted.



 It was a third rate burglary that brought a different President down

A memorandum, submitted by the committee on July 26 to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and signed by the general counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives, makes clear that such an inquiry has begun.

LOCK HIM UP!
After President Trump mentioned 2016 rival Hillary Clinton at a reelection campaign rally in Cincinnati, the crowd broke into a chant of "lock her up."
Trump mentioned his former opponent and her use of the term "deplorable" to describe a segment of Trump supporters.



The ad writes itself.

Corey Lewandowski for Senate?

A history of assault and violent outbursts.

Called angry. Hot headed. Abusive.

Now he's running against Jeanne Shaheen.

And if there's one thing we know about Corey Lewandowski, it's that he'll do anything to beat a woman. - Rick Wilson
