And another day of Trump insulting one of our closest allies while saying we have an excellent relationship with one of the world’s foremost dictators, combined with America saying “screw you” to women fleeing domestic abuse, comes to a painful close:
“What if the democracy we thought we were serving no longer exists, and the Republic has become the very evil we have been fighting to destroy?” -- Padme Skywalker
Notice how Trump has been alienating the US from our closest allies (G-7) while at the same time cozying up to the world’s most dangerous dictators. That’s by design, folks. It’s who he is. And they are who he aspires to be.
Trump administration moves to block victims of gang violence, domestic abuse from claiming asylum. Jeff Sessions has ordered immigration judges to stop granting asylum to most victims of domestic abuse and gang violence, a move that would block tens of thousands of people, especially women, from seeking refuge in America. Jeff Sessions -is a horrible person.
Trump hails "excellent relationship" with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, turning a historic corner.
U.S. Supreme Court Backs States’ Voter-Purge Efforts. Republicans rejoice because...well, they don’t believe in actual democracy.
The Supreme Court has upheld a controversial Ohio law known as the "use-it-or-lose-it" law, which is among the most aggressive laws in the country aimed at removing voters from the registration rolls. And minorities will be the main victims.
Trump administration launches denaturalization effort to strip citizenship from those suspected of irregularities. The slippery slope gets slippier.

And another day of beating up on Canada--Canada!--while continuing to give a smile, a wink, and a nod to Russia comes to a close:
“Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.” -- Marcus Aurelius
The Trump administration’s policy of splitting up families is creating a burgeoning population of dislocated and frightened children. And this needs to end. It’s all Trump’s doing. Americans should be in the street protesting this treatment of children. The GOP is not the party of “family values.” It’s a hate-filled organization that only benefits a few very wealthy individuals. All other GOP supporters are being used and played.
“If people don’t want to be separated from their children, they should not bring them with them.” -- AG Jeff Sessions
Jeff Sessions is a horrible person.
U.S. officials have not released exact numbers on children being held or whether parents are being deported without their children.
Fox News host apologizes after referring to upcoming summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as meeting of 'two dictators.' Oh look! Fox News told the truth!
White House trade council director says 'there's a special place in hell' for Justin Trudeau. These people are batshit crazy.
What an arrogant fuck:
Germany's Merkel says Europe has prepared counter-measures against U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum.
Germany, France blast Trump over Group of Seven U-turn.
There are people tasked with taping Trump’s papers back together after he rips them. “It was the craziest thing ever. He ripped papers into tiny pieces.” Because that’s a good use of our tax dollars. In addition, Trump was repeatedly told that shredding presidential documents is against the law, but he kept doing it anyway. Ah, the ‘law and order’ president doesn’t follow, um, the law.
A new generation of women running for office is still running into dated rules about what they should be wearing.
Female activists continue to be arrested in Saudi Arabia.
The White House launches a multimillion dollar ad campaign to combat opioid addiction. An ad campaign? They can’t do better than that?...Or they won’t do better than that?
The end of net neutrality is here. It ends Monday.
The type of trolls that helped Trump win continue to flood Twitter and Facebook ahead of the midterms.
Colorado wildfire doubles in size, hundreds more evacuations underway.
California cannabis vendors are collecting lots of sensitive data on their customers. Legal protections are needed to stop them from selling it to data brokers.
Will we ever fly like the Jetsons? This company just unveiled its first commercial flying car, Flyer. If we don’t destroy ourselves, then yeah, we’ll get there.

And another day where we say to our allies “Americans stand with you, even if our President doesn’t” comes to a close:
“There MUST be a pee tape. Or worse.” -- Kurt Eichenwald
Trump pulls U.S. out of G-7 statement, accuses Trudeau of being 'dishonest'. On behalf of sane Americans, I apologize to our dear friend to the north, the great country of Canada. He does not represent who we really are.
At the G7 meeting, President Trump called for an end to tariffs and scolded other countries for using the United States as a 'piggy bank’ that everyone’s robbing.
McCain to US allies: “Americans stand with you, even if our President doesn’t.”
For more than a year, Florida failed to do national background checks that could have disqualified people from gaining a permit to carry a concealed weapon, a new report says.
A Hawaii volcano evacuee describes watching one neighbor open fire on another as they checked on the lava flow. More guns is not the answer. Yes, she took a video of the incident.
27% of Americans say they have decided not to post something online after witnessing the harassment of others.
'I have definitely hit the jackpot.' Advanced breast cancer disappears after new immunotherapy.
Polio has been reported in Venezuela, where the disease had been eradicated decades ago, according to the Pan-American Health Organization.

And another day where “we have a world to run,” a new indictment is issued, and a high profile person suffering from depression commits suicide, comes to a close:
“My mom says some days are like that. Even in Australia.” -- Judith Viorst
The Trump regime has told a federal court that Obamacare shouldn't force insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions. I have so many versions of four-letter words I want to scream...so for now I’m saying nothing. Fucking bastard. Ooops, sorry, that one slipped out.
President Trump is calling on the Group of 7 to re-admit Russia to the group of leading economic powers, saying "we should have Russia at the negotiating table." More evidence of his love for, and commitment to, Russia.
A new indictment filed against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort names an ally with Russian intel ties. The charges are obstruction of justice.
'No Gays Allowed': Hardware store emboldened by Supreme Court cake ruling hangs discriminatory sign. Ah, the tried and true method of using the cover of religion to oppress groups of people you don’t like. If your religion requires you to oppress other human beings, then you need a different religion.
Trump said he doesn’t like having children separated from their parents who are detainees and that the action was the result of a Democratic bill. No law mandates this. So he’s once again lying.
Trump will ask athletes who kneel during the national anthem to recommend people for pardoning. That won’t help the dead, idiot. But he does love handing out ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ cards. Too bad he has no intention of understanding or trying to reform the criminal justice system.
Trump floats posthumous pardon for Muhammad Ali. Ali doesn’t need a pardon. The Supreme Court overturned his conviction in 1971. So it’s all bullshit Trump made up to...what?...make it look like he has empathy (something we know he doesn’t possess).
A majority of registered voters in America (58%) think that President Trump is intelligent, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll. 58% of Americans don’t know what the word “intelligent” means.
Anthony Bourdain, the gifted chef, storyteller and writer who took TV viewers around the world to explore culture, cuisine and the human condition for nearly two decades, has died. He was 61. Cause of death was suicide.
The number of school-age kids and adolescents hospitalized for suicidal thoughts or attempts from 2008 to 2015 more than doubled, the study found.
A record number of children died from influenza this past flu season, federal health officials say.
For Autistic Consumers, Pop Culture Can Be More Than an Escape. It Can Be a Lifeline.
Canada legalizing marijuana could pressure Congress to act on similar proposals for the United States. Legalize it and let’s get this shit over with already.
Trump Signals Possible Support For Marijuana Legislation.
Kia says it is recalling more than 507,000 vehicles in the U.S. because an electronic glitch may prevent airbags from deploying in the event of a crash. Hmmm. That can’t be good.

And another day of trying to kill the masses, bully the world, and continue viewing most humans as “lesser” comes to a god damn close:
“And there must be some way outta this. I was thinking you’d know how.” -- James McMurtry
Trump administration tells court it won't defend key provisions of the Affordable Care Act. So the DOJ won’t uphold the law. The DOJ. Yeah, the same DOJ that is responsible for, you know, actually upholding the law. Anyone who voted for this waste of human flesh and hasn’t repented for their horrendous mistake, should never be forgiven. This is fucking bullshit.
If any country can bully the world, America can. But it is hard to think of a president who has bullied as gleefully as Donald Trump. I don’t want my country to bully the world. That’s not leading, that’s making enemies. Fuck that shit. And fuck bullies.
Trump on North Korea summit: “I think I'm very well-prepared. I don't think I have to prepare very much. It's about attitude. It's about willingness to get things done.” That’s how an eighth grader prepares for a math test.
40 senators just demanded that Donald Trump stop separating families at the border. “We ask that your Administration rescind this unethical, ineffective, and inhumane policy.”
U.S. immigration authorities say they are temporarily transferring 1,600 detainees to federal prisons.
Stormy Daniels' lawyer says Trump lawyer Giuliani is a "disgusting pig" and "an absolute misogynist" after Giuliani says the adult film star is "a woman who sells her body for sexual exploitation."
"I respect all human beings. I even have to respect criminals. But I'm sorry, I don't respect a porn star the way I respect a career women." — Rudy Giuliani. Which means you view some people as “lesser.” Fuck you, Rudy. You’re not better than anyone else.
EPA chief Scott Pruitt enlisted his 24/7 security detail to run errands, such as picking up his dry cleaning. Once he had agents drive him around to find his favorite moisturizing lotion. Scott Pruitt is a horrible person.
The new chief of staff to US national security adviser John Bolton defended anti-Muslim and far-right activists in a pair of online columns. John Bolton is a horrible person.
An openly gay gubernatorial candidate in Maryland is airing what activists say is the nation's first-ever political ad showing a same-sex couple kissing and it includes a jab at President Trump. He kisses his husband and then says, “Take that, Trump!”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been accused of groping a female reporter at a music festival in 2000.
Suicide rates are up by 30 percent across the nation since 1999, federal health officials reported. Because everything’s spinning down the shithole.
Facebook says a software bug made some private posts public for as many as 14 million users over several days in May.
Lava has destroyed 600 homes on Hawaii's Big Island: mayor.
Rescue work at Guatemala volcano suspended, death toll hits 100.
There's a cure for hepatitis C, but insurance companies don't want to pay for it.

Aiming at Trump strongholds, Mexico hits back with trade tariffs.

All eighth graders at a Pennsylvania school were given a bulletproof Safe Shield insert for their backpacks as a graduation present. And this is the best we can do for our children? This is the acceptable lifestyle we have them growing up in? America, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Education Sec. Betsy DeVos: Federal school safety commission set up after Parkland school shooting will not examine the role of guns in school violence. Betsy DeVos is a horrible person.

Billionaire conservative icon David Koch stepping down from business and political activities.
NEW: 73% of white Americans feel worn out by the amount of news these days, much higher than both Hispanic (55%) and black Americans (55%). Republicans more so than Democrats. It’s amazing there are still people who identify as Republican. Amazing and sad.
Harvey Weinstein pleaded not guilty to rape in the first and third degree and criminal sexual act. He maintains, though, that these encounters he had with these women were consensual.
More than 100 members of Congress call on Jim Mattis to overturn transgender troop ban.
Miss America is “no longer a pageant. We are a competition.”
Student loan debt just hit $1.5 trillion. Women hold most of it. About 40% of people going to college have taken out loans to pay for school. But some people are taking on a lot more debt than others. That’s about $4500 for every person in America.
