This is not acceptable. I cannot even think of America under 500 more days of Trump..
I can't even imagine the hell in the dead period after he is voted out and the inauguration. I fear trump will to try and rally his racist base and stage a coup.

America is already beyond recognizable
The lawlessness and Hate this man is responsible for ...
Two songs scenes from Pink Floyd The Wall that keep going through my mind at times lately
The rail cars filled with humans being shipped to death camps.. Now when I have to wait for a train I almost expect one of those filled with Latinos to go by
And ...
Just exchange sylbology with MAGA

Thought ya
Might like to
Go to the show.
To feel that warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.
I've got some bad news for you sunshine,
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you fans* really stand.
Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish!
And that one's a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way,
I'd have all of you shot!

That's around 11 weeks. IF Trumps voted out and that's a big IF, it will be similar to the havoc the administration has already wreaked. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

In vying to be the worst Republican, currently with Trump with a good lead and about 50M right on his heals, we see Steve King making a run down the stretch:
The Dow recorded its worst day of the year on Wednesday, plunging about 800 points, after a key recession indicator flashed in the bond market and economic data from Germany and China intensified slowdown fears.
Investors poured into the bond market, triggering a dire sign: The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell below the yield on the two-year.
That hasn't happened since 2007 and, historically, an inverted yield curve signals an economic slowdown is coming.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 3.05% to finish at 25,479, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped 86 points, or 2.93%, to end at around 2,841.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite plunged 242 points, or 3.02%, to 7,774.
And simultaneously, Trump is tweeting about how great everything is and he has China right where he wants them.
AT least the budget isn't over One Trillion Dollars so we have some stimulus monies to help..
(bleep) Trump Voters are the dumbest generation America ever produced
He did this on purpose... And, I believe the numbers MUST be 10x worse than anything we will hear about it until its way too (bleep) late
A point, it appears, that only progressives get: Spend when there is a recession; pay back when there is prosperity. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"
Police are reportedly scrambling to find the 57-year-old British socialite—and accused madam of deceased sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein—as she faces a new lawsuit from one victim who alleges Maxwell gave “organizational support to Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring” and procured “underage girls for Epstein’s sexual pleasure.”
Since Epstein’s apparent jail-cell suicide on Saturday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said their sex-trafficking and conspiracy probe into the multimillionaire’s orbit is ongoing. (In a July court filing, prosecutors said they were investigating “uncharged individuals” in Epstein’s case.)
Attorney General William Barr has vowed that authorities are coming for Epstein’s alleged accomplices. “Let me assure you that case will continue on against anyone who was complicit with Epstein," Barr said Monday. “Any co-conspirators should not rest easy. Victims deserve justice and will get it.”
Maxwell hasn’t been charged with any crimes in connection to Epstein. And for years, she has denied any wrongdoing, in particular after accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre claimed that Maxwell and Epstein groomed her for sex with Britain’s Prince Andrew. (Buckingham Palace and Andrew also deny that anything improper happened.)
Send The Daily Beast a Tip
Epstein Had His Own Lodge at Interlochen’s Prestigious Arts Camp for Kids
But last Friday, a tranche of unsealed documents in a defamation lawsuit filed by Giuffre spelled out how Maxwell allegedly drove around seeking teen “masseuses” for Epstein to abuse, and how she allegedly participated in the sexual abuse herself and kept a “sex slave” of her own.
David Boies, a lawyer for Giuffre and other Epstein victims, said Maxwell should be prosecutors’ next logical focus after Epstein’s demise.
“Maxwell is not gonna be able to hide,” Boies told The Daily Beast. “There’s no place in the civilized world where she can go and not be found. And unlike Epstein, she does not have the massive resources that would be required to carve out a new life in some obscure place where she cannot be extradited from.”
“I think it’s interesting to speculate as to where she is. I also think the more important issue is: where do the prosecutors stand in bringing a case and is she cooperating?”
It’s unclear if Maxwell has spoken to authorities after Epstein’s arrest. Multiple lawyers of Maxwell’s didn’t return messages seeking comment.
Friends of Maxwell tell The Daily Beast that she is laying low in France, where she has been known to stay at Epstein’s residence on Paris’s exclusive Avenue Foch near the Arc de Triomphe. “She isn’t responding to even her closest friends’ calls,” said one person who had tried reaching her in recent weeks.
Epstein purchased multiple properties within a building at 22 Avenue Foch for about 1.5 million euros in 2002, and officials in France have called for a police probe into his activities there.
Maxwell’s sister Christine also owns property in France.
Yet on Wednesday, the Daily Mail reported that Maxwell wasn’t holed up somewhere in Europe—but in the secluded mansion of tech CEO and maritime expert Scott Borgerson in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts. The British tabloid snapped photos of Borgerson, 43, walking a dog it claims is Maxwell’s.
“She's become a real homebody, rarely ventures out,” a source told the Mail. “She’s the antithesis of the woman who traveled extensively and partied constantly with Epstein.

Hickenlooper to end presidential bid, but he's expected to announce that he'll run for the Senate, where he's up 13 points in polls over incumbent Republican Senator Cory Gardner. As one of the more moderate Dems, it's not like Gardner can paint him as a lefty-loony liberal in a state that is leaning more and more left. Good chance for a Democratic pickup in the Senate here.

Autopsy finds broken bones in Jeffrey Epstein’s neck, deepening questions around his death
Among the bones broken in Epstein’s neck was the hyoid bone, which in men is near the Adam’s apple. Such breaks can occur in those who hang themselves, particularly if they are older, according to forensics experts and studies on the subject. But they are more common in victims of homicide by strangulation, the experts said.
The two guards falling asleep. The reassigned warden. Only the 2nd suicide in the whole facility in 21 years. No camera footage inside his cell but enough camera footage for them to know the guards didn't check the cell. It's tough to avoid going down this rabbit hole.
We'll see if Ghislaine Maxwell survives to 2020. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-cop cellmate says he saved multimillionaire sex offender from hanging: source
Link
Jeffrey Epstein’s cellmate — a former cop charged with quadruple murder —told authorities he came to the perverted multimillionaire’s rescue after he attempted to hang himself, alerting correction officers and possibly saving his life, a source told the Daily News Friday.
A law enforcement source confirmed the cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, claimed to have helped Epstein after finding him unconscious. Investigators were still trying to determine if an assault had occurred or if the sex offender facing up to 45 years in prison had in fact tried to take his own life, the law enforcement source said.
Middletown, NY — In a case that sounds like the makings of a Hollywood film, a retired crooked cop has been arrested after authorities discovered the bodies of four missing men on buried on his property. Link
^^^^That was his cellmate..nice work keeping him safe AG Barr/Trump

Issuing a statement might be all Speaker Pelosi does. She has always gone out of here way to be on great terms with Israel. But if her response to Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar Israel ban is just a statement (likely the case). That could cause some upset within the party. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

If Dems take the WH and/or Congress, I hope they come down hard on Netanyahu for supporting Trump. I'd be in favor of cutting the Israeli welfare all together. No more $4 Billion hand outs.
