In Private Prisons and making money off of taxpayers. Now this. 🤬#DemCast #DemCastFL #OneVoice1 #HelptheImmigrants

Detained children in American prisons are being charged for food, underwear, even for seeing their families. This has to stop. https://t.co/qqdx2DEDTT

Russians interfering again and Trump’s covering it up

February 21, 2020February 20, 2020 ~ susie ~ 1 Comment

Breaking via NYT: Intel officials warned House lawmakers last week that Russia was interfering in the 2020 campaign to try to get Trump re-elected, five people familiar with the matter said. That angered Trump, who complained Dems would use it against him. https://t.co/OxTKMY3WPs

It just keeps getting worse and worse:

So the sequence here appears to be.

1. DNI gets intel that Russia is interfering again in the election

2. Acting DNI briefs lawmakers about the threat.

3. Trump finds out

4. Trump berates acting DNI

5. Trump replaces acting DNI with political stooge/ally

The fish rots from the head of the Toddler wearing an adult Depends:

NEW — The son of one of Trump’s pardon recipients gave $85k to Trump victory this August. His wife gave $50k that same month. On top of that, they made an in-kind contribution for $75k in air travel. https://t.co/M585LiH6Bu

The pardons are a distraction to take the focus off of Trump and Barr’s corruption of DOJ and off of @davidenrich’s blockbuster Dark Towers book about Trump’s money laundering and other ties to the Russian mob facilitated by Deutsche Bank. Ignore it and stay focused.

Maddow Blog: Trump insisted his actions in the Ukraine scandal were motivated by his concerns about corruption.

With Trump's new pardons and commutations, "the whole idea of Trump as some kind of corruption-fighter has become a punch-line to a sad joke."https://t.co/wy9AigYxtB

Trump, who promised to drain the swamp, pardons Milken at the recommendation, among others, of a billionaire who threw a $10 million fundraiser for the president on Saturday. @shearm @maggieNYT https://t.co/nbb3qx6Fnp

Among Trump's pardons: A woman who stole $205 million from Medicare, a man who paid a $400,000 bribe and Bernard Kerik, who committed tax fraud and recently lobbied Trump to pardon Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher for killing civilians. #LetsCleanHouse https://t.co/R2fPrcoUNC
