I love him so much. He is a person who should truly be celebrated and held up as a role model.

I'm generally grouchy and hating people this week so I'm ready. Well I opened Twitter to see morning joe whining about how bad it looks for people to chant lock him up at a baseball game, so I’m right there with you.

Before this week's crazy tricks, here's a treat - Jose Andres' pitch last night: My gosh, I love him. And his food.

Trump has been super-shitty to DC. Of course he is going to get booed at public events here. I’m going to focus on actual pumpkins, costumes, and candy this week. Halloween is my second favorite holiday and I’m not going to let the wannabe bilious pumpkin in the WH spoil it.

President Trump was booed loudly by the fans at Nats Park when he was shown on the big screen. Then came a loud chant: “Lock him up.”

Ughhhh Trump is in my area today. I'm commuting in now (late) so we'll see how fucked up all the traffic and congestion is. Why he would want to come to Chicago, I'll never know.

Twitter is losing its mind bc Trump did not bring Barron last night.
They need to calm down. There are plenty of reasons to think that Barron may be a child with autism, sensory challenges, or something else. I can tell you that a World Series game would be a *miserable* place for my sensory kid.
Trump is a terrible person but obsessing over his 13 year old's absence from a baseball game is absurd and is unfair to the kid. Leave the kids out of it, full stop.

His face when he realized what they were shouting was fucking priceless.
I semi-took a break over the last 4 days but I'm refreshed and here now.

I hate those obnoxious rally lock-up chants. Always have.
Buuuuuuut I'll admit to smiling like the Grinch hearing them directed at him. Petty, party of one.

I didnt see Bevis Butthead or their sister there
My 27 year old doesnt do well in crowds like that either.

I look at it as what you put out there comes back threefold to you. So I see a lot of it continuing in the future.

Yeah there is plenty to criticize Trump about. We don't need to bring Barron into it. Leave the kid alone.

I don't have time to criticize people chanting about locking up an actual criminal who, himself, has routinely driven the incarceration of children and CALLED FOR THE DEATH PENALTY FOR FIVE INNOCENT BLACK MEN

I don't watch Morning Joe but based on what I see or hear about on Twitter it seems like Joe never lets an opportunity go by to demonstrate his rich white guy privilege

I just spewed a bunch of facts and vitriol at Rep Fulcher. Somehow I got on his 'newsletter' mailing list sent to my email account that I DONT use for political everything. So he has soiled that inbox. this was the beginning of it It has been quite a week in Washington, D.C. The so-called "impeachment inquiry" is stumbling ahead. This week I sent a letter to Chairman Adam Schiff requesting documents and records related to the work being undertaken by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. I want Chairman Schiff to explain to the American people why he has chosen to ignore precedent and bar non-committee members from being present in the committee, even though those members would be voting on whether or not to impeach the President. This process needs to be opened up. You can read more about the closed door hearing here and my thoughts on Chairman Schiff's actions. House Republican Whip, Steve Scalise, also held a press conference detailing the actions of Chairman Schiff and why this process needs to be transparent. Click on the letter below to learn more. He then went on to talk about the letter he sent to CNN because they were limiting free speech. I asked if he sent the same letter to Fox & Friends Finally he was really REALLY proud of the speech he gave about the 'Global persecution of Christians'
Its been a morning.

Wow. This is certainly an effective way to run a woman out of office. (Not to excuse the mistakes she made and rules she possibly broke - just jeesh, this is sick)

That first pitch video kicked me square in the feelings teeth this morning. Goosebumps all over. It was the feel good start to the day I needed.
Now go ahead and ramp up that impeachment stuff, please. I am ready.

jaygee, a good friend of mine lives in PGH and sent a picture this morning. She said there were only the driver and one passenger on board. How f'ing scary.
