While there are protests going on across the country in regards to the separation of migrant children, the Supreme Court gave Donald J. Trump a victory. The Court sided with the Trump executive order. The Muslim travel ban abetted a watered down version was upheld and it grants the inept leader powers to declare anything a threat.
The Democrats blame majority leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for the decision. Back in 2016, McConnell literally denied Barack Obama his third Supreme Court nominee. It set the precedent. The partisan divide will be even deeper now. The party in power can deny a current or future president a nominee to the Court.
Former presidential nominee Mitt Romney wins the Republican nomination for the open seat being vacated by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT).
Romney, a perennial loser was a former governor of Massachusetts. He is an opportunist. He is a carpetbagger. He is an inconsistent politician. He is the clear favorite in this race. Hopefully, Jenny Wilson, the Democratic candidate can shock the country by defeating this worthless pile of stupid.
Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY) loses to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a newcomer who won backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Trump threw his support to Romney despite the two having a minor feud.
Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY) was defeated in a brutal primary. His opponent is a 28 year old woman who got the blessing of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sent the 20 year politician to the showers.
Many Republicans are hoping the upcoming Court decisions will rollback many progressive rulings.
Democrats hope that long term lawmakers get the messsage. They have nearly handed primary defeats to Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-IL) and Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY).
So a 5-4 decision throws out the First Amendment and Fourth Amendment.
This could make world leaders implement bans on certain people or all Americans traveling to their countries.
Expect worldwide condemnation and potential backlash from world leaders.
The Muslim (travel) ban, abet a watered down version stands. The five justices that upheld the decision proved to the world that their bigotry, xenophobia and apathy will doom us all.
This decision gives Donald J. Trump and future presidents the power to restrict religion and nationality on the grounds of immigration.
The third version is watered down. In order to make this "not a Muslim ban," the travel ban added people from Venezuela in North Korea.
So to those traveling to the United States to visit families, it might be delayed indefinitely. If you want to study here or see the sights and sounds, plan somewhere else.
The five justices that upheld the decision are bigots.
That decision gave the power to turn away travelers who want to visit the country.
This could also initiate a boycott of the United States.
Where mass shootings by mostly White people are now likely gonna be acts committed by either American inspired Muslims.
The Islamic State, al-Qaeda and other international extremists will use this as a rally cry to Muslims or anti-globalists to commit acts of violence against Americans overseas or domestically.
The death of Thurman Blevins, Jr. got the nation talking.
I am reminded that cops are required to save lives by sacrificing theirs. Are these cops afraid to take one for the communities they swore to protect?
Once again the Minneapolis Police are facing controversy. Another police shooting of a suspect.
Protesters take to the streets after the fatal police shooting of Thurman Blevins, Jr., another Black man who was fleeing.
New mayor Jacob Frey attended a vigil nearing the shooting scene that drew hundreds of people.
The 31 year old man was chased by the police. The man was shot multiple times and died as a result of those gunshot wounds, according to a report released Monday by a medical examiner.
The police claimed that got a 911 call of a mans who was firing a handgun outside. Officers arrived to find Blevins and a woman on a curb. As officers got out their vehicle, Blevins ran. Officers chased him for several blocks.
The cops were wearing body cameras. It wasn't shared with the public. Of course, it wasn't. It would probably show that the suspect fled and the shot him regardless.
The police union is jumping to the defense.. Of course, we are reminded that police unions leaders are racists.
Bob Kroll, head of the Minneapolis police union, said "good job" to the cops who fired upon him.
Minneapolis Police are investigation an officer involved shooting of a fleeing suspect.
He claims that Blevins pulled a gun out and officers were threatened. The body camera footage (which wasn't publicly release) will "dispel all the false narratives that are out there and it will corroborate that the officers had no other alternative."
I have an alternative. Call for backup.
Police officers often chasing after fleeing suspects will risk their lives to apprehend. Often times, cops don't know if the suspect is armed or not. Regardless, chasing after fleeing suspects is more of risk to everyone including the cop.
Witnesses often dispute the cop's version.
Many high profile shootings happened in the Twin Cities. The fatal shootings of Jamar Clark and Justine Ruszczyk Damond were notable. What got the most attention was the fatal shooting of Philando Castile in Falcon Heights.
Each of these shootings were done by cops who claimed they feared for their lives.
Of the three, the ones who shot Clark weren't charged. The one who shot Damond was charged. The one who shot Castile was charged but not convicted of the murder.
Thurman Blevins, Sr. being consoled by family. His son was killed by the Minneapolis Police.
Minneapolis-St. Paul is a Democratic/progressive metroplex.
The two Democratic senators, Amy Klobucher and Tina Smith are both running for reelection. I haven't heard any comments about police reform. The governor race is also happening as well. Former governor Tim Pawlenty is considering a run as well as Rep. Tim Waltz (D-MN). Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) represents a majority of the metroplex. The lawmaker is running for Attorney General. Will he discuss police shootings in the metroplex?
I haven't heard no comments about this shooting. I haven't heard any comments about police reform.
Don't expect Jefferson Beauregard Magoo or Donald J. Trump to remark about it. They practically urge police abuse.
Long Beach Police discuss the tragic death of a fire captain.
Don't expect any legislation from Congress or the imbecile living in the White House. The National Rifle Association is pouring money into the Midterms to keep Republicans in charge. The Supreme Court is trying to keep people of color and young voters from the ballot box. The world is watching the United States slowly dwindle.
This is not normal. We cannot live in a country where mass shootings are a part of the daily routine.
Every life matters. It's unfortunate we pick and choose which life matters.
A mass shooting in the United States happens every week. Gun violence claims 93 people everyday.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
This may have been a revenge killing. A 77-year old man was arrested in this callous act of terrorism. It claimed the life of a Long Beach fire captain.
This terrorist killed fire captain Dave Rosa.
A mass shooting at a Long Beach retirement community.
On Monday, news outlets reported a shooting and possible explosion at a retiring home in the city.
Authorities confirm there's no active shooter situation and the suspect was apprehended. Two firefighters and one civilian were injured during the incident, officials said.
Rosa was a 17 year veteran of the Long Beach Fire Department.
Usually, you hear the Russian-bots who support the Blue Lives Matter movement offer sympathy to those who wore the badge or carried the firefighter ax.
No comments about it. No bot inspired hashtags. Nothing.
But if this was a Black or Latino suspect, guess what would happen? It would be driven by Russian bots, The Drudge Report, Fox News, Breitbart and a response from Donald J. Trump.
David Bossie in the freezer for using a racial slur on Fox News.
The man behind the infamous Supreme Court ruling Citizens United found himself in the freezer over at Fox News. During a Fox & Friends segment, Bossie got into a heated confrontation with Democratic strategist Joel Payne.
Bossie who is white, was placed in the freezer for a couple of weeks after he told Payne he was out of his "cotton-picking" mind.
They were debating over former NSA chief Michael Hayden's diss on Donald J. Trump when it comes to separation of children.
Criticism is coming from the left and the right. But for the folks over at Fox News, it's all about everyone ganging up on Trump and his minions.
Hayden compared family separation tot he Nazi death camp of Auschwitz.
This is Birkenau. Then Germany. Now Poland. NO ONE who now walks through that portal on that siding can casually believe that civilized behavior is guaranteed. pic.twitter.com/T1wLka18Vf
Fox News immediately distanced itself from Bossie and decided that he need time to cool off.
Ed Henry ends segment after Bossie called Payne a racial slur.
Ed Henry said in regards to the controversy, "David Bossie used a phrase that clearly offended Joel Payne and offended many others. But I want to make sure that Fox News and this show, myself, we don't agree with that particular phrase. It was obviously offensive and these debates get fiery, that's unfortunate. We like to have a honest and spirited debates, but not phrases like that, obviously."
Bossie responded to Twitter.
During a heated segment on Fox & Friends today, I should have chosen my words more carefully and never used the offensive phrase that I did. I apologize to Joel Payne, Fox News and its viewers.
So I can tell you that we're seeing Fox News embolden white extremism. To tell a respectable commentator of color he's out of his "cotton picking mind" kind of makes me think that Bossie had thought of other offensive terms to describe Payne.
Republican candidate seriously injured in car accident. Katie Arrington won a primary against the infamous lawmaker Mark Sanford.
I guess she gonna need the Affordable Care Act....
This Republican running for Congress promised to rip up Obamacare. Yeah, after she uses its advantages. It seems like a definition of irony moment.
South Carolina Republican congressional candidate Katie Arrington was involved in a serious car accident near Charleston. She and her aide were traveling on U.S. 17 when a wrong way driver struck the vehicle they were riding in.
The driver of the vehicle died upon impact. The aide and Arrington were badly injured. They were en route to Hilton Head Island.
The state lawmaker ousted controversial Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) in bitterly fought primary may be on a slow path to recovery. Sanford was the infamous former governor who left his job to chase a hot Argentine reporter. He was on the Appalachian Trail.
Long shot Democratic candidate Joe Cunningham runs on this anti-Nancy Pelosi campaign. Foolish move. Sexism won't help you win, idiot. Candidate offered sympathy to Republican challenger. Bet you money, Katie Arrington would never show the same to Cunningham.
Arrington claimed that Sanford was never loyal to Donald J, Trump, the world's most idiotic leader. Trump loved the kind words and her assets (i.e. body).
He threw his support for her and she won.
Well she is recovering. Numerous people offered sympathy towards her.
"Katie’s family is extremely humbled and grateful for the outpouring of prayers and support, as they know the prayers have been an extremely important part of this healing," the statement read. "They respectfully ask for continued prayers, including that of support for the family of Helen White, prayers of thanksgiving for the medical staff treating Katie and Jackie Goff, and prayers for continued improvement for both Katie and Jackie."
Trump and Mike Pence went to social media to react.
My thoughts and prayers are with Representative Katie Arrington of South Carolina, including all of those involved in last nights car accident, and their families. https://t.co/rWYt2VBjxc
Landed in SC and spoke to Rob Arrington, husband of our great congressional candidate @karringtonsc. So many people are praying for Katie’s quick and full recovery. Today we remember all those affected in that accident.
I just spoke with Katie’s husband, Rob. We are shocked by the news of her accident and urge all South Carolinians to keep her in their prayers. She is a strong, determined woman. We need her, and she will pull through.
Embattled governor Henry McMaster and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) went to the local hospital to visit her. Republican and Democratic leaders in South Carolina offered funding for her medical expenses.
Her opponent, Joe Cunningham offered sympathy and wished her well on her journey. He suspended campaign activities for the time being.
I don't offer no sympathy to this woman. Shit happens.
When you support rolling back safety regulations, continue to allow guns in the hands of terrorists, support of draconian laws and throwing support to hate, maybe it could be "God's plan" or the definition of irony.
Cannabis saleswoman faces backlash after she called the law on a little girl.
Oh, there's Becky calling the police on us again!
A San Francisco woman is facing a backlash after she allegedly called the police on a little girl selling water bottles.
This is America, don't catch you slipping!
Allison Ettel aka #permitpatty has sparked global outrage after she got upset over an 8 year old girl yelling for her to buy a water near AT&T Park.
Ettel would be filmed by the Jordan Rodgers family.
So my little cousin was selling water and didn't have a permit so this lady decided to call the cops on an 8 year old. #PermitPattypic.twitter.com/SiL61pnAgl
The woman insist that race had nothing to do with it and says she had gotten death threats because of that. Her own company that specializes in cannabis-for-pets is being hit with criticism.
Ettel claims that she was pretending to call 911.
"It was wrong and I wish I could take it back," Ettel said to SFGate on Saturday. "Believe me, I wish I never had done that."
In interviews, Ettels said that she acted out of frustration after the girl and an adult woman had been "screaming" outside her window all day, and only pretended to call 911 in a desperate attempt to get them to pipe down.
The incident unfolded Saturday afternoon. A brief video was posted on social media showing the woman speaking on the phone and an unidentified woman accusing her of calling the law on a girl selling bottled water on the sidewalk.
Jordan Rodgers.
"So my little cousin was selling water and didn't have a permit so this lady decided to call the cops on an 8 year old," wrote Twitter user Raj alongside the video.
The little girl was shaken by the experience. Many people across the country have poured donations to the little girl. Musician Jonathon Brannon said that he will contribute her family a paid trip to Disneyland in Anaheim.
@_ethiopiangold says she is this young girl's cousin, and the young entrepreneur was only trying to earn money to be able to pay for a trip to Disneyland. This video is of the girl after someone heard what happened & is sending her tickets to go. pic.twitter.com/aDNJIR1FbY
Whoever reported bc I said white women like to call the cops on black people doing normal shit.. fuck you that's why twitter didn't find anything wrong with what I said 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾 pic.twitter.com/EXyALHQ9Xh
Some people compared Ettel to the infamous white woman who called the law on a Black family illegally barbecuing in a park.
Only a few months ago, a white woman called the law on a family who was grilling outside an Oakland park. Another woman filmed this woman on the phone and followed her for more than 25 minutes shaming her.
White people (particularly white women) have called the law on lawful people of color.
Ettel's business lost three key endorsements and products. Her TreatWell website and social media profiles went dark. She made her profiles private.
Mike Huckabee slammed for posting some racist shit. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was kicked out of a restaurant. What a time to be alive.
Republicans are whipping up their base again. They are telling their supporters that if they don't come out to vote, then Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) could become the Speaker of the House and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) could be the Majority Leader of the Senate. They are fearing Democrats could impeach that imbecile, Donald J. Trump.
Mike Huckabee, a washed up politician who is a host on TBN and Fox News decided to put his two cents into the newest controversy started by Trump and his minions. His daughter is Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the current spox for Trump.
Huckabee is no stranger to controversy decided to post shit online to take a shot at Pelosi.
Nancy Pelosi introduces her campaign committee for the take back of the House. pic.twitter.com/yKDhkVubck
— Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) June 23, 2018
This was quickly condemned after it was shared on social media.
Reminder that Mike Huckabee isn’t just a despicable racist - he’s the father of the President’s Press Secretary. https://t.co/eWwwKh4ymp
This tweet is not “racially charged”. It’s not “racially divisive”. It's not “racialist”, or “sparking racial controversy.” This tweet is straight up racist and the media should call it so. https://t.co/RAaMQFt6sY
Dear Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee): I am a Vice Chair of the Campaign Committee to take back the House. It's going swell & Dems are way up in the polls. Also, I served on active duty to defend bigots like you that engage in raging, hateful, racist speech. In Christ, Ted https://t.co/KhqWJ0xpeq
The world is watching our inept leader promote this zero tolerance policy to illegal border crossings. The debate of separating children from their parents kind of knocked away the historical meeting.
Also his daughter was kicked out of a restaurant.
Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so
California woman lucky to be alive. She filmed an encounter with a cop while attending a festival. She was dragged out the vehicle after she and the cop exchanged words.
Count her blessings she wasn't shot by the cop. If it was a Black male, the chances of being shot is greater given the itchy finger of a bad cop.
A young woman who was a passenger in a vehicle was dragged out by the hair by a handful of cops. This incident went viral after a friend recorded the encounter and shared on social media.
Samantha Luna was with some of her friends at Oyster Fest in Acrata, California. They were pulled over by Humboldt State University Police on the allegations of a passenger sticking their body outside the sunroof.
While engaging with police, Luna encountered the sergeant Janelle Jackson.
Situation got heated after cop demanded Samantha Luna to provide identification.
While getting information for the passenger who stuck her head out the window, the cop was apparently acting in an unprofessional matter.
"Why are you being so rude?"
"Seriously? You're about two seconds from going to jail for public intoxication. Do you not understand that? So I would stop talking if I were you?"
The two get heated over the name. She has a nickname and it angered the cop.
Her legal name is Alanso Luna, but she goes by the name of Samantha. That back and forth irated the cop. She ordered her out of the car. Luna refused and that's when the drama occurred.
The dirty cop grabbed her by the hair and pulled her out while the backup officer dragged her out. They soon would need five cops to hold her down.
The cop worked for the local university. Luna is sharing her encounter with the cop on social media.
Luna was charged with resisting arrest, public intoxication, underage consumption of alcohol, providing false information to a police officer, and failure to comply to a peace officer. That could put her in the iron college for up to three years.
She is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
She started a GoFundMe account to pay for legal fees and demands police reform in the wake of this.
Makai Coleman and Katlyn Kovach are lucky to be alive. A dirty cop pulled them over on a bullshit charge. The dirty cop is Katlyn's father.
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), you running for reelection. What are your plans to curb police brutality and abuse of power?
Matter of fact, I heard Ohio state lawmakers pass the Reagan Tokes bill. The act is to keep better tracking of offenders who were let out the iron college.
Yet, no laws for people of color.
Tamir Rice never got that opportunity to get a law dedicated to him. His killer was a rookie who fired on him without an ounce of remorse. Jonathan Crawford or Sam DuBose never got a law passed. Their killers wore Blue Lives Matter and confederate bullshit while on duty.
But a white woman killed by a Black suspect and Ohio lawmakers quickly pass a law that could be a legal fight for offenders who are trying to stay out of the iron college.
Why don't Ohio pass reforms to stop police abuse?
Or at least a law for a person of color.
What the fuck is going on in Lorain, Ohio?
Last posting dealt with a councilman who went to throw bullshit online and throwing the nigger word around like it was apart of his white ebonics.
That city is a hot mess.
Dirty cop pulled a Black motorist and his own daughter in a fit of rage.
This maybe one of the most segregated cities in the state of Ohio. And I thought, Dayton, Cleveland, Toledo, Cambridge, Marietta, Cincinnati and Youngstown were segregated.
Nope, it's the city of 68,000 residents.
A dirty cop is out of a job and may have lost the respect of his daughter. It was all over a fit of rage and over protection. Maybe racism.
Nah, it was straight up racism.
John Kovach, Jr. is looking pretty stupid right now. He was caught on dash camera disobeying an order and using his badge to abuse a motorist.
Kovach pulled over Makai Coleman shortly after he passed his patrol vehicle. Soon as he activated his lights, he immediately pulled over Coleman. He ordered Coleman out and told him without even probable cause that he is going to jail.
When asked about why he is being pulled over, the dirty cop said, "We're make shit up along the way!"
The dirty cop was angered that his daughter decided to live with Coleman. She feared her father and the physical abuse that may follow.
One of the passenger's mother was none to happy about
Dirty cop abused his badge to harass Black motorist and his girlfriend.
So he did an illegal pull over, detained a motorist without probable cause, failed to file a report with his superiors and used his company equipment without proper authorization. He physically assualted a passenger. He abused his powers as a police officer.
The police chief immediately ordered an investigation into Kovach. He was placed in the freezer before eventually being fired out the cannon.
The city of Lorain had to apologize to Makai Coleman and passenger Katlyn Kovach.
All of Kovach's pullovers could be dismissed because of his disgraceful actions.
We can't make that shit up?
Apparently cops can.
Donald J. Trump gave law enforcement agencies the power to abuse suspects and get away with murder.
Controversial comedian Kathy Griffin poses with Stormy Daniels.
Controversial comedian Kathy Griffin doesn't give a fuck. She seen her future in comedy go up in flames because of her brutal image. Griffin was shamed out the industry after she held a doll of a beheaded Donald J. Trump.
CNN and her management team immediately fired her out the cannon. She got death threats and boycotts of her shows.
She was depressed. She sought counseling and a spiritual awakening. Then came Stormy Daniels.
Daniels, the famous adult film star is now working with Griffin and his previous accusers to hold him accountable.
The iconic photo of Kathy Griffin holding a beheaded dummy head that resembles Trump.
The two pose together. This was posted on social media. She gave her a big shout out after she appeared at a Boston show.
The infamous pee tape. You know the one about the Ritz-Carlson, Moscow, hookers urinating on Trump's bed. One comedian wants to prove to Sean "Softball" Hannity that the tape is real.
Comedian Tom Arnold speaks out on the Roseanne controversy and the interview with former Donald J. Trump attorney Michael Cohen.
The actor and comedian is doing some serious agitating. He blasted his former wife Roseanne Barr. He believes that ABC should have fired her ass long before the renewal. Barr who was briefly married to Arnold had a huge fallout during the 2000s. Barr was fired from ABC after she compared Valerie Jarrett, a former adviser to Barack Obama, a mixture of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes. She called it a joke. ABC called her cannon firing. Now she is a washed up celebrity and is still depressed that ABC severed ties with her.
The Conners is coming to ABC on short order. The spin off is coming and Barr is banned from it.
What drove the comedian to the spotlight? Its his disgust of Trump's unequivocal ignorance.
Arnold is on a mission to shed lights on tapes that would embarrass Trump.
Michael Cohen didn’t say Me & him were teaming up to take down Donald Trump! Michael has enough Trump on his plate. I’m the crazy person who said Me & Michael Cohen were teaming up to take down Trump of course. I meant it. Michael doesn’t get paid by Vice #thehuntforthetrumptapespic.twitter.com/af48aDZRvg
So you didn’t like me on @CNN either? That makes it unanimous. Get some rest brother. I won’t trouble you anymore. Last think you need is my nonsense. #done#ridiculous oh & whatever you do DO NOT watch @Lawrence@MSNBChttps://t.co/J0eAUsL3BU
Michael Cohen, the embattled attorney could be facing federal charges in regards to money laundering. He was doing some shady money transactions while working for Trump.
Cohen is also facing a lawsuit on behalf of Stormy Daniels. Her attorney Michael Avenatti has been hammering Cohen over his loyalty to Trump. The lawyer allegedly funneled money to Stormy to keep her quiet about an affair between Trump and her.
Arnold took a picture with Cohen and is working with HBO and Viceland to produce a series devoted to finding the Trump tapes.
