2) If we want to change this country for the better and weaken Trump's hold on his followers w/in politics and outside, the media and other organizations need to employ proven deprogramming techniques. Take note @CNN, @FoxNews, @TheDemCoalition, @MSNBC
1) Let's call @realDonaldTrump what he is--a cult leader, & let's call his steadfast supporters what they are--followers. He's no different than Jim Jones and David Koresh, except that he found a much larger and powerful platform from which to spread his messages of fear & hate

This afternoon, a 15-year-old brought a gun to his Kentucky high school, killed two people, and shot at least 14 others. Violence is so common in America in 2018, that's apparently not even devastating enough to distract from Oscar noms.

Lara Trump tells Fox that women who marched are too dumb to know why they're anti-Trump "They just think that's the thing to do"
RT if you think Lara Trump is an utter disgrace to the human race.

If the US is serious about stopping a real danger from abroad, it should build a better firewall, not a bigger border wall. nitter.gq/usnews/status/95435653…

Democrats have managed to accede to Republican demands, demoralize their energized base, give a disengaged president a win, and look like they held a meaningless three day government shutdown — all at once.

Senate Dems are being asked to entrust the lives of 800,000 Dreamers to the "intention" of a man who said in 2009 his No. 1 goal was the defeat of Barack Obama and who imposed a yearlong blockade of Judge Garland

This is why Trump’s words and tweets, and his memes showing violence against the press, matter. thehill.com/media/370207-man…

The political and partisan phone message you get when you call the White House is wildly inappropriate. I also wonder about legality. You can’t use White House facilities for partisan political purposes, and there are limits on career employees doing explicitly partisan things.

I am deeply disappointed that today’s outcome fails to protect Dreamers. They deserve better from the elected leaders of the only country many of them have ever called home.

My read of this shutdown deal is that Mitch McConnell lost the right to be trusted by any Democrat in America when he stole a Supreme Court seat without shame or remorse. Any deal Democrats do with him they must assume he'll renege on.
On that basis, this looks like a bad deal.

Trump admin released a report claiming to show a link btw terrorism & immigration, based on data from "an analysis conducted by DHS."
...but DHS didn't conduct the analysis. They don't even have that data. They didn't contribute to the report at all.

Have some courage and just say that Stephen Miller is a Nazi dirtbag. nitter.gq/lindseygrahamsc/status…
President Trump has expressed a desire to have border security with compassion on immigration. #winningcombination.
General Kelly is tough but reasonable.
Some other staff in the White House hold extreme and unrealistic views.
They hold us back from getting a solution.

There's ALREADY a deal to fund the government. It included DACA & CHIP. Both sides made concessions. Trump was going to sign it.
He then backed out during his "shithole" rant in favor of an extremist position written by white nationalists
THAT is what caused the #TrumpShutdown.

Milk spilled on floor...
Paul Ryan- You did this Chuck!
Chuck Schumer- No you did this Mitch!
Mitch McConnell- No you did this Nancy!
Nancy Pelosi- No you did this Paul!
Average American- Why don’t you all compromise and clean it together.
Donald Trump- Nope! Leave it there
