… Stephen Colbert began Thursday’s Late Show monologue with “a fun story” for his audience. “There is a petition currently circulating here in New York City to rename the stretch of Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets ‘President Barack Obama Avenue,’” he said. “To make the honor complete, whenever a car tries to turn left it will be blocked by Mitch McConnell.” … https://theweek.com/speedreads/859371/stephen-colbert-endorses-placing-trump-tower-obama-avenue-explains-how-liberals-troll
Did any of you see Colbert on with Anderson Cooper last night? I always listen to Rachel, but a good friend texted me that he was on CNN so I changed and listened. About halfway through, they began talking about their mother’s, their childhood, things that shaped them. More or less drifted into a grief counseling session. Then, from there. Colbert began talking about his faith, which is remarkedly deep. Colbert ended up ministering/witnessing to A. Cooper on national TV. It was very interesting.
Then you missed Rachel’s piece on so-called “ethnographic-nationalism”:
“law journal article by Donald Trump federal court nominee Steven Menashi in which he argues democratic countries work better when everyone in the same ethnicity.”
As well as:
State Rep Kelly Flood explained how via sleight of hand, the Kentucky legislature put a new aluminum plant connected to (Putin’s) Deripaska into play in their state.
—imo the KY legislature was tricked by omission into signing off on $15 million for Deripaska.
—imo this and all similar economic treachery must be nipped in the bud.
—imo McConnell is openly corrupt and working for Russia. What do we do about it?
Got to admit… that would really be something special!!

My guess . . . Trump continues to unravel, his poll #s against Dem candidates continue to drop and the Republicans realize he can’t win in 2020. They begin abandoning him (out of self-preservation, not principle). Ultimately, he is not on the ticket in 2020.
Just saw this trailer this morning myself. Terrence Malick knows how to deliver cinematic masterpieces. I’m just not sure I could sit through it. I hope the people who need to see it do.

my grandfather made the local paper when he voted for the first time at the age of 32…it wasnot because of the 15th ammendment, which gave him the "right" but it was the 1965 voting rights act that truly gave him the right.I'm making the same argument re women & 19th ammendment pic.twitter.com/n0BSNqoE6a

If they have to be sucked up to after seeing all the shit Trump and his cronies have done so far, they aren’t voting for any Democrat. They’re gone. Let’s just get more people to out to the polls. We can win this thing without the weak ass GOPers who just happen to dislike Orange Hitler, but are fine with everything the GOP is doing. They don’t wanna be in out tent.
I keep wondering how much a part of that is him still thinking he can work with Mitch McConnell? Like he can reason with the GOP Senate? When the rest of us actually hear McConnell call himself “Grim Reaper”, “Darth Vader”, “Cocaine Mitch” and even John McCain vowing to never even allow a vote on anyone Hillary Clinton would nominate to SCOTUS. The GOP is TRASH.
Right? That ship has sailed. These aren’t honorable civil servants who just need a beer and a slap on the back to encourage them to do what’s right to everyday constituents, to protect rights and preserve democracy. They are actively, and gleefully hurting people to line their own pockets and those of their friends and benefactors. They don’t care about democracy and they don’t mind being owned by Putin. They are traitors.
Yes, exactly. I’m just so profoundly sickened at how GOP applauds while Trump the sexual predator scofflaw fraud cages children, spouts racism, steals from the Treasury, doesn’t do any work EVER, lies incessantly, trashes the environment and our food supply, busts up the healthcare system and ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.

Not middle of the road positions, so DON’T tack to the middle.

Absolutely correct
Also, I wish Joe Biden would stop trying to appease Trump voters. If they have to be sucked up to after seeing all the shit Trump and his cronies have done so far, they aren’t voting for any Democrat. They’re gone. Let’s just get more people to out to the polls. We can win this thing without the weak ass GOPers who just happen to dislike Orange Hitler, but are fine with everything the GOP is doing. They don’t wanna be in out tent.
I keep wondering how much a part of that is him still thinking he can work with Mitch McConnell? Like he can reason with the GOP Senate? When the rest of us actually hear McConnell call himself “Grim Reaper”, “Darth Vader”, “Cocaine Mitch” and even John McCain vowing to never even allow a vote on anyone Hillary Clinton would nominate to SCOTUS. The GOP is TRASH.
Right? That ship has sailed. These aren’t honorable civil servants who just need a beer and a slap on the back to encourage them to do what’s right to everyday constituents, to protect rights and preserve democracy. They are actively, and gleefully hurting people to line their own pockets and those of their friends and benefactors. They don’t care about democracy and they don’t mind being owned by Putin. They are traitors.
Yes, exactly. I’m just so profoundly sickened at how GOP applauds while Trump the sexual predator scofflaw fraud cages children, spouts racism, steals from the Treasury, doesn’t do any work EVER, lies incessantly, trashes the environment and our food supply, busts up the healthcare system and ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.
Woman who predicted the 2018 Dem House win,
Speaks with excellence to this:
“Does anyone understand the 2020 race? This scholar nailed the blue wave — here’s her forecast.”

To paraphrase she is saying you mobilize independent with STRONG liberal positions.
Not middle of the road positions, so DON’T tack to the middle.
(Am betting the REAL data shows that GOP is lockstep = Posing as a weak gop-er doesn’t get their vote.)
Good read. Thanks for sharing.
Yup
Just look at this imbecile KY Governor. Trolling Dems at the State Fair. JHC.

I went to a rally in Trenton, NJ for common sense gun laws. Call the Senate, and tell them to pass the laws the House passed that’s sitting on Moscow Mitch’s desk.

PP is saying “…dunno what happened there” … referring to the 138 judges he was able to fill. And the SC.
He should thank President Moscow Mitch. …( I am convinced even Satan would have a hard time letting Moscow Mitch in hell).
