Found an interesting opinion piece on NYT co-written by KellyAnn Conway's husband positing that Whitaker's appt is not Constitutional: https://nyti.ms/2OxSB8w Definitely worth the read. My question: who will enforce the Constitution?
As I reviewed the election map here in CA this morning, I am struck once again by the vast differences living on the Coast makes. Blue v Red maps are so discouraging. How can things be that cut and dried when we all share the same air and water? Elections are bad for my heart. Nunes winning his district by 11 points is beyond understanding. At least Rohrabacher is running behind Rouda. No winner yet, tho. Fingers crossed.
@michaelredmond Your toots this morning are like a fall into arctic waters. Just what I needed, BTW!
Good Morning #CounterSocial and all #COSO members
I want to thank everyone for taking the time to read the article I wrote about this great platform.
It was my honor to write it, and I can't thank @th3j35t3r enough for not only creating it, but taking time out of his crazy busy schedule to sit down (so to speak 🙂 ) with me for the awesome Q & A session.
Its not often we get to see an "idea" born from a simple concept, be there for it's inception, and watch it evolve and grow
Thanks J

Welcome to CoSo https://counter.social/media/0NPZe6AWGx8Gav8dzm0
Just finished reading Woodward's Fear. This book certainly struck FEAR in my heart as I read case after case of sensible people trying educate DJT on everything from tariffs to nuclear bombs. To NO avail: he stubbornly refuses to learn - no one on the planet knows anything, except him. Also, we are all delusional if we think he will be impeached, only one remedy: GOTV!!!!! Pretty bad when your own lawyer thinks you are a "f**king liar"
I never thought I'd see a speech that was roundly applauded by both the civil liberties community and national security types. Progressives, centrists, never-trumpers... everyone except the crazies at the far ends of the spectrum.
To give you an idea of how well this speech was received, both Jester and Glenn f***ing Greenwald like it. And those two are mortal foes.
Wow, today has been really distracting me.. Do I actually do my job and some work, or do I follow all the things going on, ripping apart the Senate / White House.
Twice I've had to shut down Counter.Social, so I actually get some work done!
Got some tests running in the background, so I thought I'd come peek to see if SCROTUS's head had exploded yet
SCROTUS == So Called Ruler Of The United States
@willrsimpson as I've already pointed out:
There comes a point in time when you are not correcting the damage done by the Alcoholic, you are instead enabling their destructive behavior to continue
This insider has gone from being an Adult in the Room, to an enabling family member. He is willing to accept the destruction of the Presidency in order to make more money and keep non-white people out of his country.
He is as guilty for what happens as Trump is.

The thing about civil disobedience is that you act *and* you accept the consequences.
As a life-long registered Democrat whose beliefs are left of left, I was always proud of the one election in my life I voted Republican, in 1998, for Senator John McCain. His principled dedication to this nation superseded any difference of political beliefs for me, in that moment. I carry that vote in my conscience with deep gratitude and pride.
oh that was record time @ed209
nice
@th3j35t3r how much do i need to up my donation to get a splat counter in the header???
:P
carry on my friend
👍
@th3j35t3r well, I can tell you how to get a Lego man's head out of someone else's nose. This is official and straight from er doc. First, it's got to be your own kid. You block the clear nostril, then start like you were doing mouth to mouth and blow as hard as you can, and the toy (and everything else that's in there) comes out and hits you on the side of the face.
Can't help you with the glue though.
@catlynne333 Jones still has free speech. He can get a big old box, put it on any street corner, stand up on it, and speak about whatever he pleases, until he drops. Fully protected.
"Aides said that Mr. Trump is aware that his actions could once again be tied up in lengthy court battles. But the president and his allies believe that taking action would put pressure on Democrats by eliminating the criticism that Mr. Trump is separating children from their parents."
From NYT breaking news article. Only motivation: get the heat off DJT and on to Dems.
https://www.bethany.org/blog/every-child-podcast-with-dr-lyn-westman TRUTH TIME Director of Bethany Christian services, Federally contracted foster care provider receiving most of the little ones is Brian DeVos. Brother of Betsy. listen to this 2015 interview. because "well scripturally versed" is a requirement to foster the kids. They are paid by adoption. There are 5 indigenous languages of Honduras, 21 Indigenous languages of Guatemala. Idk how many of Mexico. There is NO PLAN TO REUNITE. US GOV is CHILD TRAFFICKING.
As much as I bitch moan scream and cry over what is happening. In a couple ways trump is for the best. Had HRC won the GOP trump and Putin would have been able to continue their HRC narrative and even escalated it. The GOP crimes would have been swamped under 50 more pointless HRC investigations. The gop have been unmasked for all to see their true evil hate and glaring hypocrisy. Just maybe (not likely) there may be a pinch of justice coming
