#TBT to this past Tuesday's version of @JeffFlake, who said, "It does no good to have an [FBI] investigation that just gives us more cover, for example. We actually need to find out what we can find out." Will he reappear tomorrow? on.mktw.net/2Rj9O8n
"[A] lot of new reporting has now emerged that starkly illustrates just how much about the new allegations was not investigated by the FBI [as a] result of restrictions the White House placed on the probe."

OK, I did this. The best part about this, I realized, is that I have been sober long enough that I was sober during all of the years of this meme. #tbt
There wasn’t a picture to choose from where I was drinking or hungover. And this goes back SEVEN YEARS! That’s wild to me, still, and just makes me so grateful that I found this path to sobriety.
I am, however, still an alcoholic. And have my bipolar disorder to deal with on top of it. Those will always be a part of me. And they’ll make emotionally draining weeks like this tough.

#TBT did you know @SenGillibrand speaks fluent Mandarin and has a Chinese name It’s Lu Tianna! Anyway she always says she had no idea about Dads work with #NXIVM but isn’t it wild she visited the Dalai Lama’s House in India the exact same year he was paid $1mil by them? #MeToo
Her speaking fluent Chinese must’ve been very helpful when she was @HillaryClinton aide (?) assistant (?) who knows.

How do you not know what Daddy is doing when he’s the one that helped you raise so much money? Other people in the family have also spoken out but somehow her denial was suffice? Nah Lu Tianna knew all about #NXIVM maybe that’s the name she used🤷🏼‍♀️

late to #TBT but wanted to throw abt 12 months back to the inaugural @realDonaldTrump speech to the @UN GA 1) "Rogue regimes represented in this body not only support terrorists but threaten other nations and their own people with the most destructive weapons known to humanity."
2) That "rogue regime" is still represented @UN . is still sanctioned by @UN , Russia and China are still helping that rogue regime violate sanctions, and they STILL have the most destructive weapons known to humanity BUT
3) Am guessing this section in the @POTUS UNGA speech will focus on a currently non-nuclear power, Iran, instead of the rogue-ish of them all - Lil Kim.
