I will give up this first and all others to have the guarantee that comes November, we will have a change in the White House, with God’s help.
I refuse to give in to cynicism, but by Zeus, I am beginning to panic. I may have to put my running shoes and get to the polls to vote for a serial socialist whose dream has been to destroy the democratic party. And. I. Will. Gladly. Do. It. because there is no other choice.
To a large extend, much of the population has decided to tune out Trump. Which is understandable. But the stuff he's saying here is still genuinely shocking. https://t.co/tHt9FmFM8j
i know how you feel…i have days when i feel this way too..but then i think of Thurgood Marshall…Mandela.. Harriet Tubman…and i gather myself..so on this day i will take your weight…my day will come and i need you to take mine..
Since I stepped on the #DemDebate stage, our grassroots campaign has raised more than $5 million. We’ve not only reached our critical goal of raising $7 million before the Nevada caucuses—we're now raising it to $12 million. I'm so grateful. Keep it up! https://t.co/9kjAWYs2zq
A record 33.5 million viewers watched Warren put on a show at the debate. As a result, she's raised over $5 million since 9 PM last night. Anybody who has written her off is nuts. In a large, fragmented field, she has a solid chance to pull off a Clinton '92 style comeback. https://t.co/iOzXalR79k

Forces of fascism and corruption can't win in a fair fight. That's why enemies of democracy, foreign AND domestic, are spreading demoralizing messages on social media. Every time you post a demoralizing tweet, you are working for their side. Join our side. Fight for democracy!
Because of "Watchmen." Decades of historians have been trying to let the world know about this massacre, and it took an alternate history comic book drama to break the wall of racism. IDK whether to laugh or cry, but let no one say fiction has no power in the real world. https://t.co/l7ixJN5JlQ
This is really important news. The Republican Party is now directly litigating to block voting rights. Not legislatures or Secretaries of State. The Republican Party is on record that it will spend $10 million in legal fees to block people from voting. https://t.co/cJ0YYFexUn
We had to say good by to our beloved Toby “The Tobes” a couple of years ago. He almost made it 14, so that wasn’t too bad. He was a heckuva a gosh darn good babydog. We need to spread his ashes. But his favorite place was our bed……
This truly looks like TREASON in all but the narrowest possible sense. If confirmed, it’s utterly devastating. It points to an enemy of the nation sitting in the White House. This cannot stand if we are to survive as a sovereign constitutional republic. https://t.co/oWexilPnao
Until you answer Senator @ewarren's request that you release any woman who has signed an #NDA with you, you are #BLACKMAIL bait. #Putin & #Trump know it & so do you.
No escaping that your actions on this matter will define you, forever.
We are now in a full-blown national security crisis. By trying to prevent the flow of intelligence to Congress, Trump is abetting a Russian covert operation to keep him in office for Moscow’s interests, not America’s. https://t.co/Vj6lUV5ZNu
Over three decades, the United States has extended its military deployments and commitments to the breaking point, and its poor stewardship of globalization has left ordinary Americans and the earth’s climate in a similar place, @stephenwertheim writes.https://t.co/av2Ak64v1w

All of our candidates have weaknesses. “SOCIALISM TAG” is a giant albatross for Bernie. I love Joe! But Joe has a BUMBLING problem. (I’m SORRY!) Mayor Pete is brilliant and fresh. But he’S ALSO very INEXPERIENCED and programmed (plus the “problem” that should NOT be a problem.) Amy can be IRRITATING. But she’s also smart and capable as hell. Elizabeth is smart and capable x 100 – Oh? She’s so smart she’s un-likable? (b*tch like Hillary)
I’m sorry. I’m just REALLY worried now. I wasn’t before because fuckface is so horrible I thought……But today I saw that in polling he’s WAY ahead in Wisconsin and ahead in Michigan. How? HOW!?? How is that possible with such a f*cking disgusting destructive piece of sh*t?
Magapie, you’ll be OK with a response, I feel that!
Warren was standing up for all women – we cannot have another Trump. She has been a uniter all along and ‘above the fray’ in debates until Nevada. Thank heavens she roasted Bloomberg good and proper, who has at least 40 accusations by women against him. The POD Save America crew was remarking how polite the Warren campaign is, and how her staff are 100% set on voting for whoever is the nominee. Women candidates are always trashed or forgotten by the media. Women are ready for a woman president. Ms. Warren has repeated her basic points and it is time to show her intellect and experience, legal & other.
–imo Ms Warren can talk rings around the lot of them….and must now must be willing to show it.
At its essense, @realDonaldTrump fired his intelligence chief because he reported that Russia is -again- trying to help Trump win. The new DNI has no experience in the intel field and is regarded as a political stooge. Bottom line: national security and fair elections are harmed

I want to tell you something I hardly ever share. My husband was killed in war, a lie by Dick Cheney. I didn’t know if I could hold myself up to receive his body at the base. But when I got there, it was Joe Biden who was there to help me to receive him. Thank you, Joe.🙏🏼
To our IC:
Please come out and tell what you know. Mr. Maguire, just fired by Trump, what do you know?
There are countless patriots,who have long-protected America regardless of party, in our Intelligence community.
Imagine the boss of the Gambino family running the country….
Trump is no different. He has brought his NY Mafia scene and its vast corruption openly to the White House.
The WH is now an organized crime ring.
The difference here is that Putin is running Trump.
O’Donnell opened his show with “Trump is a Russian operative”.
Thank you. Yes Trump is a Russian operative.
Barr didn’t like his dirty work being exposed by Trump’s tweets…awww…shame.
What say you now Barr, now that Trump is brazenly exposing his (and your) ties to Putin?
Where does that leave you?
Get them OUT.
Impeach.Barr.
Impeach.Trump.Again.
“Before long, Hitler claimed more power.
The fire in the Reichstag, the parliament building, was a key moment in this development.
On 27 February 1933, guards noticed the flames blazing through the roof. They overpowered the suspected arsonist, a Dutch communist named Marinus van der Lubbe. He was executed after a show trial in 1934.
Evidence of any accomplices was never found.The Nazi leadership was quick to arrive at the scene.
An eyewitness said that upon seeing the fire, Göring called out: ‘This is the beginning of the Communist revolt, they will start their attack now! Not a moment must be lost!’
Before he could go on, Hitler shouted: ‘There will be no mercy now. Anyone who stands in our way will
be cut down.’
The next morning, President Von Hindenburg promulgated the Reichstag Fire Decree.
It formed the basis for the dictatorship. The civil rights of the German people were curtailed. Freedom of expression was no longer a matter of course and the police could arbitrarily search houses and arrest people. The political opponents of the Nazis were essentially outlawed.
…On 23 March 1933, the Reichstag met in Berlin. The main item on the agenda was a new law, the ‘Enabling Act’. It allowed Hitler to enact new laws without interference from the president or Reichstag for a period of four years.”
Gleichschaltung =
The standardization of political, economic, and social institutions as carried out in authoritarian states.
“Now that Hitler had become so powerful, it was time for the Nazis to bring society in line with
the Nazi ideal.
The process was known as Gleichschaltung.
Many politically-suspect and Jewish civil servants were dismissed. Trade unions were forcibly replaced by the Deutsche Arbeitsfront. This allowed the Nazis to prevent workers from organising any opposition.All existing political parties were banned. From mid-July 1933 onwards, Germany was a single-party state. Cultural and scientific ‘cleansings’ were carried out as well.According to the Nazis, everything ‘un-German’ had to disappear. Books written by Jewish, left-wing, or pacifist writers were burned.”
Trump is an illegitimate president and he knows it.
He scraped a win thanks to Putin, MoscowMitch intervention, and other corporate finagling.
Is why Trump just put in 2 new ignorant yes-men puppets at the head of the our National Intelligence community,
after firing now-former Acting DNI Maguire for delivering the factual IC briefing:
Russia is interfering once again in our general election and our Democratic primary.
= Once again.
= Illegitimate.

Scary, @JuliaDavisNews. Likely the same predictions Putin has been whispering in Trump's ear –– and exactly the kind of things Trump loves to hear.https://t.co/uEchtbPbo3
More on the Neo-fascist strategy of Gleichschaltung:
(see above on this thread)
Bannon, one of Trumputin’s architects, is a strong promoter of ‘palingenetic ultra-nationalism’
and he argued from the beginning that Judeo-Christians should bring back (ethno)nationalism.
He is a supporter of Julius Evola who said:
“Fascism is too little. We would have wanted a fascism that is more radical, more intrepid, a fascism that is
truly absolute, made of pure force…unavailable for any compromise.”
“But first there had to be a deconstruction of the political “governing class”
and of the state in its current form.” (John Foster)
“We have seen “an assault not the major branches of the state and the ideological state apparatus, transgressing legal and political norms and seeking to vastly increase the power of he presidency.”
All the major sectors of the state have come under attack,
st.arting on January 27 2017 when Trump banned immigrants from 7 basically Muslim countries by executive order. When it was overturned, he made personal attacks on the judges in an attempt to deligitimse them.
We’ve seen Trump and Barr’s (and McConnell’s) relentless attempts to bring the U.S. judiciary to heel.
Now they’re focused on destabilizing the Intelligence Community that protects us all.
They are openly undermining U.S. national security in tandem with the Kremlin.
–What is our response?
Democrats are trying their best to win against republicans in the elections.
But this challenge is not the focus of the AOC-led PAC that is determined to run against incumbents.
I have tried my best not to say much about Sanders. But if this is what his supporters, led by AOC are focused on, then this may challenge my promise to keep my peace.
Why would Democrats elect Bernie given the destructive actions of his supporters like AOC.
Lord, help me to remain calm because this is really perplexing
Rachel Maddow:
“It has sort of gone without much mention that it’s not just the president’s friend here who’s getting this intervention. This is a case where the president is intervening to help himself, because the person who benefitted from what Roger stone did, the person who Roger stone’s crimes were designed to protect was the president.
So when the president is trying to intervene in Stone’s case to make sure he doesn’t get in trouble, he is trying to reward someone and protect someone who broke the law and committed multiple felonies in order to cover up the president’s behavior.”
(https://www.politicususa.com/2020/02/20/rachel-maddow-reveals-the-real-reason-trump-intervened-in-the-roger-stone-case.html
He surrounds himself with inept, stupid people so he can feel better about himself and be controlling.
K.T. McFarland on Fox this AM on Trump's transition into the White House: "I was the only one that even had actually been in the White House … I had to draw on a yellow legal pad for Reince Priebus this is how the West Wing works and this is who reports to who."

While we're not mincing words, let's not forget Trump has been inviting and abetting an attack on our country from the time he was a candidate to this very day. The House should have public hearings exposing this massive betrayal and grave threat until we can remove him. https://t.co/WqE73Esgqb
We need to hear on every stage how your vision addresses poverty by name. Poverty & systemic racism together—not just criminal justice reform, but also voting rights, resegregation of schools, destruction of Native American lands, ecological devastation & the war economy.
Hey TOD. Just a few minutes ago, I called Pelosi, Schiff and Nadler with the same message: Impeachment proceedings MUST begin ‘yesterday’ on trump and barr. “We are losing our democracy by the hour.” ACT!!!
Um
We are the little people paying the little people taxes, and navigating the little people’s politics.
Meanwhile the owners of the planet are making all the cash they want, e.g. Amazon is free of taxes.
Regardless of the nature of politics,
democratic or fascist,
global corporations and the owner class get richer and richer at our expense.
–The top Democratic candidates are not our enemy,
–But they must free themselves from corporate control.
