@NewsHour @TwitterMoments I spent the summers of '62 and '63 in Guatemala, aged 15 and 16. I met the Ugly Americans there--the ambassador who couldn't speak a word of Spanish, the United Fruit Americans who were CIA (even at 15 I knew the compound in Tiquisate wasn't about fruit). I went to school with
@NewsHour @TwitterMoments girls from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, the Dominican Republic. I knew back then what interference the Americans were up to. In '58 it was the Americans who assassinated the president of Guatemala when he wanted to restore the land stolen by United Fruit to the
@NewsHour @TwitterMoments rightful owners. During the two summers I was there the American Military was training in the Peten jungle to invade Cuba. The present violence in Central America has deep roots connected to the US government. Remember El Salvador? Ollie North? The mass graves? #Reagan 4/
1. I remember when you angry #Trumpkins stormed into #Republican Party; called #Conservatives “cucks”, “leftists”, “Killary voters”, “libtards”. You idolized #Trump in a cultic way. You fraternized with alt right #racists. You winked at #sexism. ->

2. You said #Conservative principles didn’t really matter, though you really couldn’t tell us what #Conservatism means. Of course, your leader didn’t know either; his attempts to articulate it were painful. You mocked our efforts to explain. ->

3. #Trump wild swings of rhetoric, positions, moods didn’t bother any of you. Whatever Trump said last was best & most true, no matter the word salad in which it was presented. His blatant self-contradictions were obvious to all but to you. ->

#Breaking badaboum majeur de @NBCNews ...et #déjàvu...Kelly le chief of staff (à la fois directeur et chef de cabinet) de #Trump à la Maison Blanche l'a traité d'idiot en réunion, et dit sauver les #EtatsUnis de lui...nbcnews.com/politics/white…
2) Essayer d'imaginer ce qu'est la relation entre 1 président US et son chief of staff, qui contrôle son agenda, les informations qui lui parviennent (#oupas) et organise la vie de l'administration...vous comprendrez qu'1 tel mépris de Kelly pour #Trump est 1 anomalie historique
3) Le seul exemple venant à l'esprit est Donald Regan, chief of staff de Ronald Reagan (eh oui) entre 1985 et 1987, qui finit par critiquer la santé mentale du patron et demanda à son successeur Howard Baker de vérifier si le 25e amendement section 4 ne s'appliquait pas...#Trump
Something happened this week that alarmed me. @senjudiciary voted on a #ProtectMueller bill. This was an important first step to avoid executive overreach and ensure the #RuleOfLaw survives as an American value. Unfortunately @senjohncornyn and @sentedcruz voted NO. /1
They seem to think suspects should direct the actions of law enforcement. I am old enough to remember when the #GOP said it would #BackTheBlue and suspects got their day in court, but weren't allowed to obstruct the cops chasing them. /2
Ronald #Reagan knew about the #RuleOfLaw and understood #Freedom relies on people following the law. /3
#Breaking BADABOUM puissance MILLE #Flynn l'ancien conseiller sécurité nationale de #Trump est inculpé pour parjure devant le FBI et mis en garde à vue par #Mueller. RT+1
