PROTEST LIKE OUR DEMOCRACIES DEPEND ON IT! THEY DO.
Republicans / Tories hate it when we look under the covers of their duplicity. GOOD. Whereas…“The only way to ensure democracy functions correctly is to question its governance constantly. Fail to do so and you may awake to find yourself living in a police state.” Stewart Stafford

I have a really horrible feeling about this...
No-deal Brexit was once a sick Tory joke. Now it's serious
No-deal Brexit has suddenly gone serious. It is no longer an exercise in bombast and biceps-flexing. Boris Johnson is about to impose a massive economic sanction on his own country. He is playing with fire: it is a political stunt that has gone horribly wrong.
It is clearly reckless to assume a sensible Brexit deal before the due date of 31 October. Politicians can twiddle their thumbs, others cannot. Since March, the Tories decided collectively to stop working in the nation’s interest and play a game of chicken with Brussels. It has not worked. The government is now planning for crisis.
The outlook is grim. The Institute for Government warns that there is no magic button, no “managed no deal”, to handle border chaos on 1 November. Emergency measures on trucks, plane flights, tourism and immigration will be entirely at the EU’s mercy – as the UK will, overnight, become legally a “foreign state”. We will need to be very nice to Brussels. Even current measures on financial services and aviation are strictly temporary. Rudimentary “technology checks” on truck movements will require a huge infrastructure of certificates, gantries and cameras, inspection depots and tariff collection points. None of this is remotely in place. Sixteen thousand officials will need to be set to work on it, and by October. This is impossible.

Trump hurls racist abuse at Rev. Al Sharpton: 'Hates Whites & Cops!'
“I have known Al for 25 years,” Trump tweeted. “Went to fights with him & Don King, always got along well. He ‘loved Trump!’ He would ask me for favors often. Al is a con man, a troublemaker, always looking for a score. Just doing his thing. Must have intimidated Comcast/NBC. Hates Whites & Cops!”
Trump was apparently angered that Sharpton was going to visit Baltimore, which Trump has insulted with racist language as part of his efforts to slur Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD).

#TrumpIsARat Hashtag Trends At #1 Nationwide
Newsweek reports:
President Donald Trump continued to use his Twitter platform Sunday to defend himself after he drew fire from critics for angry comments previously tweeted about Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings and the city of Baltimore.
The president’s insistence on insulting the metropolis ultimately resulted in the hashtag #TrumpIsARat trending on social media.

Donald Trump is now calling #ElijahCummings a “racist.”
This is what he does.
When he’s called out, he accuses the accuser of the same thing.
It’s called “gaslighting.”
Dems are racist.
Dems colluded with Russia.
Dems want to take healthcare.
Blah blah blah#TrumpIsARacist
