Michael Cohen says he worked to silence two women ‘in coordination’ with Trump to influence 2016 election

“In a guilty plea entered in a Manhattan federal courthouse, former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen implicated Trump directly in some of his acts, saying he arranged to pay off two women to keep their stories of alleged affairs with Trump from becoming public before Election Day — in coordination with the then-candidate.”

have we come to the beginning of the end…?

“They should come here the right way!!”

Please explain the legal process of fleeing violence of one country to come here? in 1998? compared to now? Then, please explain how the US government for the past three decades or so has turned a blind eye to migrants going north is not effectively #amnesty. Also, how is culpability for the migrants coming here solely the fault of the migrant and not the businesses that recruit and hire these people that come here. People were allowed to come her, settle in, and make families at the behest of the agricultural, hospitality and construction lobbies. what do you suggest as a plan for the 10 or so million of people already living here, that is ethical, efficient and humane. The plan also must not be a burden on the tax payer or the economy.

Real change will only come when we allow for more legal immigration and stop criminalizing those who come to this country seeking refuge from civil war, violence and poverty. “Abolish ICE” is a snappy slogan, but abolishing the criminalization of immigration is what we should be demanding.

When NPR tweeted out sections of the Declaration of Independence last year, many people were outraged. They mistook Thomas Jefferson’s fighting words for anti-Trump propaganda.

Amid Deep Cuts, Trump Budget Increases Child Welfare Spending by $1 Billion

Trump's 2018 budget proposal includes deep cuts and eliminations of programs aimed at serving youth and families, but includes a $1B boost to child welfare.

...but her Emailz.... and Benghazi.... I will only concede ASFA, but even ASFA she wasn't a leader on it, as much as she likes to tout she was. She goes with the flow and she is moved by data. The flow and the data was going towards family preservation and kinship. The current administration is moved by photo ops and easy fixes. Those are often obtained by throwing more money at Foster Parents and Adoptive Parents.

I am not surprised by this budget in the least bit. I know that the religious and conservative movements are heavily into adoption and saving children. It was also the GOP that legalized For Profit Foster Care.

Elections have consequences.

Standing Rock Sioux Chairman responds to Press Secretary Spicer’s statements

“Spicer claimed that the Trump administration has been ‘constantly’ in contact with our Tribe. That claim is absolutely false,” Archambault said.

“We repeatedly asked for meetings with the Trump administration, but never received one until the day they notified Congress that they were issuing the easement. I was on a plane to Washington, D.C. when the easement was issued. It was an insult to me and to the Tribe. I cancelled the meeting upon hearing this news. We have since filed a lawsuit for the immoral and illegal issuance of the easement and suspension of the environmental impact study.”

On the other side of the dressy scale there was a 7 months pregnant lawyer sitting on the floor at IAD

[tami-taylors-hair]

At O’Hare there was a lawyer who was about five minutes away from giving birth sitting there in her sweatpants with a sign that said “I’m a lawyer and I speak Hindi/Urdu”. Just her and her sign and supersized tea from McDonalds.

I’ll say it again. MOSTLY WOMEN.

[themasculinevoice]

Why does their being mostly women matter?

[gwynerso]

Because, statistically speaking, 64% of lawyers in the United States are men, meaning that the majority of the demographic showing up should reflect this. It is also interesting to note that only 27% of American born lawyers are female- that means that a lot of these women are likely immigrants or foreign born. We have a majority of women showing up in a field where they are a minority; women who dropped everything to help defend human rights and the country. There’s no cis-male equivalency to pregnancy, but if you fail to see the importance and stength of a woman who might feasibly go into labour at any second still standing up for what is right and good whilst the majority of politicians are cowering, then I can’t help you.
