Trump demands Iran return drone pilot unharmed
Tensions continued to flare this morning after Iran revealed that it had downed a US surveillance drone that was allegedly within Iranian airspace.
Acting president Donald Trump took to the nation’s twitter to decry the attack as “an total douche move.”
Trump continued to add that consequences would follow if Iran failed to return the drone pilot safely.
The liberal media was quick to pounce on the president’s misfortune, with MSNBC host Chris Hayes poignantly tweeting that “President 👏 Obama 👏 didn’t 👏 lose 👏 a 👏 drone 👏 pilot 👏 in 👏 eight 👏 years.”

Very helpful ,well put together of the same list of questions asked of each candidate, very short replies, about 2 minutes max.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/us/politics/2020-candidate-interviews.html
IMHO...Warren and Buttigieg both are extremely intelligent, very on top of the issues, have plans they have thought thru, give specific answers to questions. Buttigieg answers and succinct yet clear, Warren's more detailed.
they would make a hell of a team.
and why did Biden not participate, wonder.
I am watching the NYT interactive of the Pres. Candidates

A cell with a maximum capacity of 12 held 76 detainees
a cell with a maximum capacity of 8 held 41 detainees
a cell with a maximum capacity of 35 held 155 detainees
Border Patrol agents told us some of the detainees had been held in standing-room-only conditions for days or weeks.
We also observed staff discarding all other detainee property, such as backpacks, suitcases, and handbags, in the nearby dumpster.
We are concerned that overcrowding and prolonged detention represent an immediate risk to the health and safety not just of the detainees, but also DHS agents and officers.
With limited access to showers and clean clothing, detainees were wearing soiled clothing for days or weeks.
We also observed detainees standing on toilets in the cells to make room and gain breathing space, thus limiting access to the toilets.
Border Patrol agents told us some single adults had been held in standing-room-only conditions for days or weeks
Although CBP headquarters management has been aware of the situation at PDT for months and detailed staff to assist with custody management, DHS has not identified a process to alleviate issues with overcrowding.

Report on the condition of the refugees in the camps..it's horrifying
this Jonathan Katz's thread about conditions in the camps.He also links to the May 30th Homeland seciurity Report which covers actual conditions. Free down load.

There are an incredible number of lies people are trying to sell today to get people to look away from Trump's concentration camps. Let's dispense with one of the big ones: the idea that they can't be camps because the conditions inside are fine. That's a lie. People are dying.
You need cattle cars to fit your definition? How about this IG report from May that found detainees are packed so tightly into rooms that they have to stand on toilets to breathe. One cell with a capacity of 8 held 41 detainees. A cell built for 35 held 155.

Here's the Craigs List ad paying 100.00 for people to attend the rally
guys, I posted the wrong pic. I meant to click on this one, which I thought was a clever parody of the known craigslist rally ads of the past.

And I think it actually makes sense...
Using the "tell the FBI" issue as an example...
His response to that question has changed several times, including what he said to G.P. during various parts of the interview..
He wouldn't tell the FBI
or
He "might tell the FBI
Or
maybe he would, maybe he wouldn't
or
he'd have to see the information before deciding maybe to tell the FBI
or
No point in telling the FBI, they are incompetent
or
It didn't matter because any information is "oppo research" ( we all know someone gave him that phrase in between interview settings)
He does this a lot..different versions of something he sez...
because he is "reading the room", so he gives one answer to a question or makes a statement, if it gets blow back he changes the statement a bit, tests the water again, then again if necessary.
Note that he hasn't strayed from the main issue of "telling the FBI", he has just changed his answer several times, and seems to be sticking...now...to "oppo research".
I've been shoving a lot of reading on the web into my brain and now cannot recall where I got the "reading the room" idea, but it seems to fit.
Dunno...whadda think?

It begins...a call for impeachment in the House
He would not tweet this unless Pelosi had approved. On a Saturday night yet. The number of likes will tell them how strong support is for impeachment, so if you are on twitter, ....
