It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation.

But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

Omg. How are you putting up with Manchin’s nonsense?

He’s terrible at interviews.

He’s full of bunk.

“Fiscally responsible and socially compassionate”

He’s a damn Republican.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Join us in canceling Disney Plus. Let’s boycott ABC and Disney. If you’ve already canceled, drop a “done” in the comments.

I saw that LIVE on tv that morning, and my mouth dropped open; I think his folks knew how bad that looked.

3. Trump named Kimmel as “next” after Colbert.

This was NOT about anybody but Trump.

It’s Trump squashing HIS critics.

2. I think what REALLY pissed off Trump was Kimmel playing that clip when reporter asked how he was holding up after Kirk’s death, and Trump goes “I think pretty good, and right here is where they are building the most beautiful ballroom! It’s going to be….” *not exact words

@maddow.msnbc.com
Everybody is missing the point!
1. Kimmel clip—He didn’t say anything that Gov Cox of Utah didn’t say—“I was so hoping it wasn’t one of ours. Not the outcome I had hoped”—when they first learned it was Utah resident with Red R parents. So—the timing of K words was fine.

Hey!!! Did you NOT watch the press conference yesterday???? Both Gov of Illinois and Mayor of Chicago acknowledged problems and Mayor gave SPECIFICS on how federal gov SHOULD be helping and how TRUMP cut funding, etc.

STOP your “admit there’s crime” rant…. THEY DID!

@msnbc.com better start asking every Republican (like Kasich!) why Trump isn’t sending troops into RED states with higher crime!

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.
