    There is a fake creator that uses photoshop to create tweets that look real - Likely the case here (I haven’t checked Twitter to verify).

    That's possible. It does appear the font is wonky.

    He must have gotten a lucky panel. I'm sure there will be an en banc rehearing (or what the 9th Circuit calls en banc that isn't actually en banc).

    "The media savaged Trump when he claimed Puerto Rico officials were mismanaging disaster aid. But he was right"

    Remember when President Trump claimed in April that "corrupt or incompetent" Puerto Rico officials had badly bungled relief efforts following 2017's Hurricane Maria?

    Remember how poorly politicos and journalists reacted to the president’s allegation, claiming that he was lying or being plain racist?

    Well, it looks like the president was right. Puerto Rican officials were arrested this week on charges that they stole aid money, the Washington Examiner’s Tim Pearce reported:

    The FBI has arrested two former Puerto Rico officials for funneling disaster aid payments to politically connected contractors.

    The Wednesday arrests have prompted concern on Capitol Hill that the island’s corruption will blunt the effectiveness of a recently passed disaster aid bill. Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., has called for Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló's resignation, according to the Washington Post.

    The FBI indictment charges Puerto Rico's former Education Secretary Julia Keleher, former Health Insurance Agency Chief Ángela Ávila-Marrero, and four others with crimes related to grifting U.S. disaster aid. Keleher and Ávila-Marrero both served in Rosselló's administration before leaving in April and June, respectively. Rosselló himself is not under investigation. Grijalva is the chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, which is overseeing the recovery effort on the island from Hurricane Maria in 2017

    The arrests come weeks after Congress passed a $19 billion disaster aid bill to the island that is still struggling after the September 2017 hurricane severely damaged the island's infrastructure and power grid.
    .
    Weirdly enough, Trump sort of called this in April when he went on a mini-Twitter rant accusing Democratic lawmakers of playing games with a funding bill...."

    Yet more corruption uncovered in Puerto Rico--

    "Leaked chat between Puerto Rico’s governor and his executive team shakes the island"
    -- Contents in the 889-page document reveal efforts to manipulate polls and operate a “troll network” to discredit negative press coverage

    The question is undignified almost as much as Trump's tweets that prompted the PC.

    If a news organization as dense and biased as NBC gets it but you still dont, then maybe its time to reassess?

    Obama and Hillary gave weapons to Al Qaeda, so Omar is just following their lead.

    This is first federal Circuit Court flip of the Trump presidency.
    Soon, the 2nd Circuit will also have flipped.
    The 11th Circuit is already something of a de facto flip because one of the Bill Clinton judges is actually more of a conservative
    It matters

    Today he called them the "The Four Horsewomen Of The Apocalypse" and "left wing cranks"
    Adding "they're the reason there are directions on a shampoo bottle" -- all indirectly via a quote from Louisiana Senator John Kennedy

    This should quiet things down

    Al Green’s Articles of Impeachment failed 332-95
    137 Democrats voted to set it aside along with all Rs (except for 3 not voting) + 1 "Independent" (Amash).
    Not sure why Pelosi let it go to a vote and further expose the division

    Impeachment should be the result of a legal infraction. Trump being a horrible human being is not enough.

    The Swedish leader said Saturday he was aware Pres. Trump “has a personal interest in the case.”

    Lofven called Pres. Trump’s desire for a conversation “certainly positive” and said: “I will explain that the Swedish judicial system is independent. In Sweden, everyone is equal before the law, and this includes visitors from other countries.”

    Well that guy is obviously racist too, just look at him
    But possibly a bit of a quandary for you since he is probably at least a closet socialist too

    This proves Trump isn't racist. He's speaking up for an African American. /s

    Almost as if Trump is trying to counter his earlier racist comment.
