1. Yesterday, my assistant told me about Green books which are books that used to let African Americans know which towns they are allowed to to travel to without issue on road trips. It led me to this phenomenal book about that very subject. Apparently a lot of towns still choose to be white and guess what none are in the South. They are mostly all in the Midwest.

Celebrities Are Trying to Get Ivanka Trump’s Attention by Flooding Her Instagram Again http://time.com/5359627/celebrities-ivanka-trump-instagram-feed/ Last night, celebrities flooded Ivanka Trump’s feed with letters about child separation. Let’s get some facts out of the way: The Trump admin has been separating children from their parents who illegally came here. Trump eventually supposedly reversed this practice. Ivanka recently did an interview where she stated this policy was a low point for her and the administration. The Instagram letter basically said the practice of separating children is still happening. There really wasn’t more to it. The comments in response were as you can … Continue reading This Wednesday Political Thread Wonders Where Logic Went

After Trump deferred to the Russians in #treasonsummit or #summeroftreason or #summitofftherails, someone must have reached out and told him he went too far…it could be anyone at this point. So we are left wondering if he would double down on too far or backtrack. He backtracked right in front of speeding train. It was the worst backtrack I have ever witnessed. He stated that he misspoke and meant wouldn’t instead of would. So it’s clear now, it could the Russians or anyone else. http://time.com/5341620/donald-trump-behavior-history/ Also MGM is the worst and I am completely done with them http://fortune.com/2018/07/17/mgm-sues-las-vegas-shooting-victims/ Continue reading The Wednesday Political Post Misspoke

Let’s start with this …mess… U.S. Announces Its Withdrawal From U.N. Human Rights Council “I want to make it crystal clear that this step is not a retreat from human rights commitments,” Haley told the media. “On the contrary, we take this step because our commitment does not allow us to remain a part of a hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights.” https://www.npr.org/2018/06/19/621435225/u-s-announces-its-withdrawal-from-u-n-s-human-rights-council I mean are they actually serious? The only people who believe this at this point are delusional or Trump supporters trying to hold on to some shred of false humanity. Welcome to … Continue reading This Wednesday Political Thread is ;:)&$@“?!

Ironically the “blue lives” party has some issues with law enforcement. President Trump has fired two high ranking FBI employees and taken numerous shots at their and the agency’s credibility. The FBI has fired right back at both the President and the GOP. Part of the reason, Trump detests Sessions is because despite Session’s faults he does not want to tangle with law enforcement. Session’s firm boundary with law enforcement is at the crux of his issues with the president. https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/12/politics/rod-rosenstein-house-investigation/index.html There is now a new chapter to this open animosity: “Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s ongoing battle with House … Continue reading This Wednesday Political Post Presents the FBI versus the GOP

Republican voters rallied behind candidates aligned with President Trump and party leaders in a trio of pivotal Senate primaries Tuesday, reinvigorating the GOP’s bid to hold and possibly expand on its majority in midterm elections.
