What Trump posted was a unique new video that contained a (racist) clip from a "meme video" that was posted in October. Meaning, they didn't just download the meme and not see this and post that. The White House edited the racist clip into a new video that they made.

That's not an oopsie.

There are ZERO excuses for a racist video to be posted by the POTUS. He of course knew what it was. But on the hypothetical, a properly run White House would have had a team that caught it prior to posting it. Instead, they have a team that posted it and then said the outrage was fake. Impeach him.

If your religion was so fucking great, you wouldn't have to worry about forcing it on anyone. Everybody would be flocking to it.

Also, this is violation of Federal Law. There are no loopholes. It's either a public school or it isn't.
WATCH: “Where’s my kid gonna go, Gino? He’s in Kindergarten.”

Rep. Gino Bulso’s HB 1491 requires Tennessee public schools to teach the Bible in K-12 — he defends it by saying parents can “opt out”, but doesn’t seem to have thought through what that actually means for young kids.

Dads are important. But, I think Olympians are a bit like special forces operators in terms of determination and spirit. Dads may not have as much influence as they think.

We had Customs and Immigration officers prior to DHS and we shall have them after DHS. Without them, wildlife populations around the world would crash.

Maybe. My brother took lessons in the 8th grade after school from the school's choir teacher and after a few weeks he told my mom it was pointless and he'd never amount to anything. That was decades ago, today my brother can play just about anything he hears.

I call on Congress to firmly commit to informing the President that if he uses a pardon for personal gain or favor that they will file impeachment against him so many times the republicans just give up and they'll never agree to a dime and shut the government down until he resigns.

I bet they wont.
Ghislaine Maxwell pleaded the 5th Amendment today and refused to answer questions because the President is waving a pardon over her head.

In no way should she ever be pardoned. I call on the President to firmly commit to never pardoning her.

The victims deserve justice.

My kid wants a guitar. Here we go... plays it for a week and then he puts it in a closet forever, or ends up headlining a world tour? I'm going with the former. At least he's smart enough to not want drums.

How rare is the Strait of Hormuz for US vessels? I did 28 ocean crossings, including some with Sealift to upgrade my license to Master of unlimited tonnage. I've done several more as Master (captain) and I have never transited that Strait. In fairness, I didn't move oil. But it's low, < 15/month.

I'm not really satisfied with this. Iran has long been dangerous to merchant ships, but that danger has increased since Trump took office. There's not a lot of US flagged vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Better guidance would be to schedule the transit with US Navy and meet an escort ship.

This Tuckahoe home won a $1.26 billion contract for an ICE detention center. The owner isn't talking.

Maxwell says she'll clear Trump's name in exchange for clemency. Trump hasn't been charged with a crime related to Epstein (yet). But if he issues her a pardon in exchange for a personal favor, then he will be committing a crime. It'd also be a crime outside the scope of his Presidential Immunity.
