Here for political sanity. Since we currently have no way to rein in the radical right media silos of propaganda & lies, this craziness is going to last way past Trump. So strap in. No DMs No Crypto

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

If this doesn't make every pro-democracy resident of Georgia, Republican/Democrat/Independent/Other, "get up on their hind legs" (as the Southern saying goes) and VOTE FOR OSSOF, there's something really broken about their ideas of right and wrong.

“You know there’s a big difference when a president likes the people representing a state. Like, Collins could call me any time he wants,” Trump said. 'I shouldn’t say that': Trump makes startling admission about Georgia if his pick loses. www.rawstory.com/trump-georgi...

Q: The typical practice is DOJ doesn't usually release charges this close to an election. Even though Ms Lucas isn't on the ballot, her daughter is. Can you speak to the timing?

According to the latest Washington Post/Ipsos poll, President Donald Trump’s approval rating sits at just 33% with weeks to go before the midterm elections. And a new poll from NBC News found that just 18% of Americans say their finances are better today than they were one year ago.

If you're still on speaking terms with any Trump supporters, and they still maintain there's nothing nefarious about Trump's relationship with Putin, they're either: 1 - too stupid to dress themselves 2 - living in a cave without internet 3 - thinks YOU'RE the useful idiot

The funny thing is Axelrod later on emphasizes how disgusted voters are with Washington corruption. So why shouldn't Jackson attack Collins, whose corruption @propublica has blown up? My bet is Axelrod and Collins are friendly and he can't get past that relationship.

Listening to David Axelrod tell @jonfavs that corruption arguments against Susan Collins are inadvisable demonstrates that a perpetual class of affluent consultants are ill-suited to a populist moment with widespread cynicism. Elites can't see each other's corruption!
