"We, the undersigned, write to express our full support for Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who has recently been unjustly attacked by Republicans and Democratic Party leadership for speaking truth to power in challenging the Trump Administration to do the right thing by ending a “Zero Tolerance” immigration policy.
Further, we write to share our profound indignation and deep disappointment over your recent failure to protect Congresswoman Waters from unwarranted attacks from the Trump Administration and others in the GOP. That failure was further compounded by your decision to unfairly deride her as being “uncivil” and “un-American.” In doing so, we believe this mischaracterizes her call to action for peaceful democratic assembly and the exercise of her constitutional rights to free speech...."Then putting on their best Al Sharpton suits, the angry group tried to put the fear in democratic leadership claiming shit's about to get real. Claiming disrespecting Maxine could cause the collapse of the party with an empty threat that if Pelosi and Schumer don’t kiss Waters’ ass they will abandoned the Democratic Party for good.
"Not supporting Congresswoman Waters hurts the party and threatens to erode an opportunity to continue to grow the Democratic Party with young leaders and voters. For Black women, who are the most loyal base of the Democratic Party and the Progressive Movement, Congresswoman Waters is our shero."This letter was signed by a hundred or so black women. I did recognize a couple of names, one was Brittney Cooper, who once freaked out because a white man sat next to her on a train. The dead giveaway is the letter is signed by so many males with Reverend before their name. One signer is none other than the shameless race-hustler Al Sharpton himself who I suspect is quietly and unofficially behind it the whole thing............
The head researcher at David Brock's multimillion-dollar opposition research firm 'American Bridge' is convinced of a Twitter-born conspiracy that Nazis at the Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security use numerical code to transmit white supremacist messages through its press releases.I'll pause while you finish laughing....
Pat Dennis is research director for American Bridge 21st Century's anti-Trump war room. The 47-person war room he leads, according to confidential documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon last year, was bolstered by a $7.8 million budget in 2017.
Dennis's interest in the conspiracy was piqued almost immediately after Twitter user Laurie Voss initially pointed out last Thursday that a DHS press release from February was filled with what Voss saw as Nazi code. Voss argued the release had both a 14-word headline and 14 bullet points (it actually has 13 bullet points), important because 14 is the number of words in "a famous white supremacist slogan" that, just like the DHS headline, starts with "we must secure."
Voss also noted the use in a statistic of the number 88, "a Nazi dog whistle for Heil Hitler." "There is absolutely no doubt now that this article is intentionally a signal to Nazis," Voss concluded. Dennis, just 40 minutes after the initial tweet, announced he would be filing a FOIA on the controversy. Dennis did not respond to inquiries into how serious he is about the Nazi code theory or what exactly he asked for in his FOIA. A spokesman for American Bridge didn't respond to a request for comment on Dennis's interest in the theory.
"This is a Twitter troll conspiracy theory that on its face is beneath any credible media outlet," a Trump administration spokesman told Buzzfeed News.
American Bridge deems itself as "the political research engine of the opposition" and has been embraced by the Democratic Party. The group brags that it has "became the heart of the party's research and communication's infrastructure." It has in the past been revealed to be behind opposition research used by mainstream outlets such as the New York Times to attack Republican candidates.

"It is truly a confounding time to be alive, to be an American.
We are watching as a president of the United States openly lies, fabricates and exaggerates while two-fifths of the population cheers him for it.
He spurns our allies and embraces our adversaries and people shrug.
He, his congressional allies and his propaganda arm are waging open warfare on the Federal Bureau of Investigation in an effort to tarnish it before its inquiry into connections between the Trump campaign, family and associates and Russia can be made public.
He is a racist who disparages black and brown people, whether they be immigrants, Muslims, people from Haiti and Africa, Barack Obama, the mayor of San Juan or Maxine Waters. People equivocate about it and excuse it.
He is attacking the press in the most aggressive of terms so that what they reveal about him will be viewed with skepticism.
He is attempting to weaken our institutions, our protocols and conventions, our faith in the truth, our sense of honor and our respect for the rule of law.
His unapologetic, unabashed crusade to fight off all efforts at racial and ethnic inclusion. They may not articulate it as such, but that is the nature of Trump’s policies: Promising to build a wall, disparaging Mexicans, separating immigrant families, the Muslim ban, decreasing even legal migration, denigrating protesting football players. Trump has vented an American racial anxiety, giving it power and a perch, giving it permission to be vocal and even violent...."You punched yourself in the face again Charles. You rage eloquently as you write about Rage Junkies. Week after week you and your paper stir racial animosity and encourage undue fear on the left. Real rage Junkies are an easy lot to spot. They lash out. They make lists. They attack people verbally and physically. As in the case of people like the shrill banshee Joy Behar and other emotional wrecks who fret day-in day-out in the media about DJT, anger and rage are their weapons and the only emotions they have left.
