If #DonaldTrump had his way this would indeed be coming to a USA near you, and the #GOP would gladly go down that hole with him. Luckily the Democrats have a say. In #TrumpNation if the president does it it must be presidential.

I've said it multiple times and I'll say it again: #TrumpNation is the culmination of 40 years of conservative ideology run amok. If nothing else, Trump’s election has disclosed some home truths to a group of Americans who “were asleep, but now maybe are awake”, he says. Among these truths are “that America is not over its racism. That we still have a lot of work to do. That we still have a long way to go to become an equitable and fair nation that lives up to the values that it proclaims to the rest of the world. #DonaldTrump Originally shared by Michael o'donnell A very interesting read on what has happened in the US over the last few decades. ‘We've dug ourselves a really deep hole’ – David Neiwert on the rise of the far right https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/27/american-exceptionalism-has-to-die-david-neiwert-on-the-rise-of-the-far-right?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Google%2B https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/27/american-exceptionalism-has-to-die-david-ne...

We all knew #DonaldTrump was bad for business and we knew #TrumpNation is nothing more than a kakistocracy, but what happens when the fools start following other fools? Even if Trump and his ship of fools and knaves do not start a war in Venezuela, they could just as easily trigger new conflicts in the Middle East or with China, without even meaning to. And Venezuela’s Juan Guaidó should be aware – these people do not make reliable allies. With Trump’s “team of morons” in charge, there is no safety net, no room for error – and no telling what happens next. Originally shared by Joseph Milan This is not getting the attention it deserves.

In #TrumpNation the conservative wing of the Republican party is not conservative enough: One of them, Connie Hair, was identified by Ms. Thomas’s group as a conservative columnist when the meeting was being assembled, according to the people. In reality, she is the chief of staff to Representative Louie Gohmert, Republican of Texas. During the campaign, she had posted several comments on Twitter describing Mr. Trump as unfit for office, including calling him “certifiable” and saying he would “never be elected president.” In the meeting, Ms. Hair described herself as a strong Trump supporter, according to those familiar with the events. Ms. Hair did not respond to an email seeking comment. A central focus for Ms. Hair and Ms. Thomas was administration appointments that they wanted made and that they accused the president’s aides of blocking. People familiar with the situation indicated that the people Ms. Hair and Ms. Thomas wanted hired were rejected for a range of reasons, and in at ...

Can we print this out, make it a post card and send it to #DonaldTrump? Originally shared by Ed Christian

Oh look, the #DonaldTrump administration is looking to skip over the separation clause and dive headfirst into picking winners and losers based on nothing but religion. You're welcome #TrumpNation, we know you have been wanting this: Wednesday’s decision purports to apply only to Miracle Hill, but its reasoning extends to every other foster and adoption agency that asserts a religious mission. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has already requested an exemption from the federal rule for all the state’s agencies; Wagner will presumably grant it. Once he does, other conservative states may begin to demand exemptions from the HHS policy, opening the floodgates to widespread discrimination. Non-Christian families and same-sex couples will be turned away from state-subsidized child welfare agencies because of their identity or religious beliefs—discrimination that the Trump administration views as “religious liberty.” With Hobby Lobby, the Supreme Court turned RFRA into a dangerous new ...

This should terrify you. Or scar you for life. Whatever. #DonaldTrump #TrumpNation

Holy ... ! "In January 2014, Mr. Cohen asked Mr. Gauger to help Mr. Trump score well in a CNBC online poll to identify the country's top business leaders by writing a computer script to repeatedly vote for him. Mr. Gauger was unable to get Mr. Trump into the top 100 candidates. In February 2015, as Mr. Trump prepared to enter the presidential race, Mr. Cohen asked him to do the same for a Drudge Report poll of potential Republican candidates, Mr. Gauger said. Mr. Trump ranked fifth, with about 24,000 votes, or 5% of the total." There is more in the article, but this is amazing and could spur the House into a full-blown #DonaldTrump investigation. #TrumpNation https://www.npr.org/2019/01/17/686182230/trumps-ex-lawyer-cohen-acknowledges-scheme-to-rig-polls-in-presidential-race

But, #DonaldTrump's shutdown and Judge Leon's decision made the courts political. The judge sympathized with the plaintiffs, but ultimately said he had to weigh the interests of the public as well as federal workers. He added that the judiciary branch is dealing with its own hardships as a result of the shutdown but said he did not want the courts to be a factor in the ongoing debate about funding the government. “The judiciary is not another source of leverage,” Leon said. By this decision the judge decided it doesn't matter if or how long a shutdown lasts, workers gotta work. In #TrumpNation indentured servitude is the new "deep state". https://www.foxnews.com/politics/federal-judge-denies-workers-ability-to-refuse-to-work-during-partial-shutdown.amp?ocid=st&__twitter_impression=true

When #DonaldTrump was still Candidate Trump one of my chief worries was him just shutting the government down. I, like many others, didn't think he'd actually win so I didn't make any predictions. My only surprise at this point is that it took so long. An unnamed “senior official in the Trump administration” wrote in an anonymous Daily Caller op-ed Monday that the record-breaking 24-day partial government shutdown “is an opportunity to strip wasteful government agencies for good.” #TrumpNation doesn't want a working government. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/senior-trump-official-anonymous-daily-caller-op-ed-shutdown-federal-workers?fbclid=IwAR1x1iJFQbn1PNcbH0Ze-IhDqjbXVEbuRkD-KjwwpOXjLZfLYUiOo55f-pI

#DonaldTrump's National Security Advisor, John Bolton, is a hardline anti-Islamic who believes foreign policy and American supremacy should be dictated by bombs and bullets. Now he wants to bomb Iran because ... it's the only place left in the Middle East where an American-made bomb hasn't gone off. #TrumpNation https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/01/13/john-bolton-iran-strike-plans/2563890002/

And in #TrumpNation no one wants to work for #DonaldTrump so he has to rely on family and sycophants. The president has already been accused of nepotism for appointing his daughter to the role of special adviser, and her White House role is unpaid in order to avoid accusations of ethics breaches. Since taking up this official role, Ivanka Trump has met with numerous heads of government and even appeared to replace her father at a G20 world leaders meeting, where she sat next to British Prime Minister Theresa May and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Many at the time noted that this move was unprecedented. https://www.newsweek.com/ivanka-trump-world-bank-president-1288815

Fox News - all conservative media - has been shielding #TrumpNation from reality, but we already knew that, did we? Fox News television viewers got almost no sense of this mounting crisis when watching prime-time programing on the night of December 20. Shows hosted by Martha MacCallum, Tucker Carlson, Dan Bongino (sitting in for Sean Hannity) and Laura Ingraham directed viewers’ attention to other matters. The programs focused on a subject that had already received extensive coverage on Fox in previous months and years: undocumented immigrants. Hosts and guests warned repeatedly that dangerous foreigners threatened to overrun American society. #DonaldTrump https://www.rawstory.com/2019/01/fox-news-viewers-literally-no-idea-bad-things-trump-historian/

#DonaldTrump, idiot. The impending reality of millions of Americans going hungry and homeless is just one aspect of the horrors that await us. At some point, the shutdown will impinge upon Trump’s C-suite constituency. Employees of the Transportation Security Administration have had to work without pay, but that cannot continue indefinitely. Already, employees at some airports have begun staging sick-outs. At some point, air travel will grind to a halt, and with it large segments of the economy. By next month, tax refunds will be in jeopardy. In #TrumpNation the magic talking box dictates policy because the president is too stupid to be a great deal-maker. http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/01/trump-shutdown-government-did-not-know.html?utm_source=undefined&utm_medium=undefined&utm_campaign=feed-part
