So if a man in NY gets drunk and I steal his wallet, because he was voluntarily intoxicated does that mean no crime was committed? Of course it doesn’t and it’s the same thing with Jane Doe at Cornell Getting intoxicated doesn’t mean you consent to rape, or theft #IStandWithJaneDoe

Senior leaders at Customs and Border Protection were left out of the decision to use their agency’s funds for a national ad campaign featuring Trump. They found out from a news report. Trump isn’t smart enough to come up with this himself. Our guess? Stephen Miller.

“Trump is trying to tell you, you live in an authoritarian society now, and that he is the state,” Jason Stanley, ex-Yale professor now at the University of Toronto partly because of a far-right shift in the U.S., said of Trump's TV ads. “This is pure, pure state propaganda,” he told the LATimes.

The objective of Republicans has always been trolling liberals, not achieving any helpful goals. The simpleton Ronald Reagan is a good example. He blathered on about how much he was in favor of smaller government. Well, guess what? The federal government was *larger* when he left office.

SAVE was built to verify federal benefits. Trump’s administration scanned at least 67 million voter registrations through it, and in one Texas county up to 21% of flagged voters were citizens. Voting shouldn’t hinge on a system that can’t tell who you are. #PayToPlayPresident
