Bernie and Trump (and their supporters) are two sides of the same coin. I have said before that I wouldn't be at all shocked if Bernie's campaign had some Russian influence, given Tad Devine's past working relationship with Manafort. Agreed, not shocked. It would be more shocked at this point if it didn't.

Bernie is stumping for a candidate from my state. When a campaign volunteer texted me to promote the event I wanted to write back “Bernie.... AYFKM?” Realistically, I know this guy needs all the help & attention his campaign can get (he would’ve had a shot at winning a recent special election if the DNC had given him a single iota of help) but I just don’t see associating with Bernie as positive attention. 🤷🏻♀️

Paulette Jordan HAS to win guys. Brad Little is heinous. And I posted earlier this week what the GOP Lt Gov had on her page, just as heinous.

Republicans refuse to renew election security funding:
I thought election fraud was a serious problem, guys?! Or is it only a concern when it's immigrants with darker skin or a different religion?

I'm picking up pieces of my brain
SHS has tweeted that Putin is coming to the White House in the fall
Dan Coates was in the middle of an interview in Aspen, the moderator just told him. He had no clue

He had no clue I think my head just exploded. For real. I don’t know why they bother to backtrack on any statements supporting Russia. Even their followers have dropped all pretense and have gone pro-Russia. Only some GOP politicians are still tweeting with their faux shock and condemnation.

I hate everything.
Not really, but I do feel like my head might explode at any moment with horror at the state of our nation. It is just all so wrong that I am struggling to make sense of it rationally. I've been quiet here lately because I don't feel like I have much to add beyond that.
We need to stop the GOP in 2018. No holds barred. No progressive purity tests. Just vote them out and vote dems in.

No holds barred. No progressive purity tests. Just vote them out and vote dems in. I agree with you completely. 2018 is not the year for third parties, single issue voting, or purity tests. Also 2020 is not the year for Bernie Sanders. I feel like that needs to be my closing sentence for everything until then., like an email signature.

I need to clarify, when i say single issue voting, I don’t mean the big stuff like social issues and women’s rights. But like my parents who think someone will give them a 2% tax break.

I have a middle school right behind my house and hear it over the intercom every day. I was so confused at first. Reminds me, I went to an evangelical school growing up and we said the pledge of allegiance and the pledge to the Bible. I’m destined to be surrounded by excessive pledging. 😒

I should clarify the person/moderator that gave Dan the news was Andrea Mitchell. I was watching on my phone and didn’t see originally
I still can’t believe that a) the DNI still doesn’t know what was said and b) they throw out invitations to the White House to dictatorships like it’s a fucking spur of the moment backyard bbq and 3) I hope all the former ambassadors stay far far awsy

DH did not do it nearly as often up north
