Mr President, have pity on a working man! ( Randy Newman cover)
YouTube video by Jonathan Moremi
youtu.be
For 106 days, Trump has wrecked the lives of Americans who got laid off, can't afford the groceries or the rent or mortgage any more. Time to revive Randy Newman's classic "Mr. President". Written in 1974 and as relevant as ever before. Here's my visualised cover of the song.

It's wrong to call this "the Justice Department." He wants $230 million from the US taxpayer. Federal dollars. DOJ isn't some private company or NGO.
Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

Trump is head of the DOJ and demanding we pay him $230 million because, though guilty, he forced DOJ to drop the case, and now he is AGAIN a pathetic, whiney VICTIM. L

ICE has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.
You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT.
Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

If the survey is of congressional Republicans? All of it, clearly
Thought experiment, how much of the White House could the president tear down before anyone in power did anything meaningful to stop it? Like if he just kept going?

No better way to encourage South Korea to invest $350 billion in the U.S. than by arresting over 500 people at a #Hyundai plant in Georgia, many of whom were South Koreans on business travel and just visiting. Can't beat the #ICE to vileness plus stupidity.

Another indication that the ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to Egypt is a completely realistic scenario.

CBS News is giving up the power it has to hold “Face the Nation” interviewees to account. Following pressure from Trump, it has agreed not to edit interviews, even to remove false statements or propaganda uttered by political operatives and officials, or add explanatory context.
