Husband/girl dad with faith that democracy is the way to go; still idealistic enough to believe it's achievable. The only thing I'm selling is democracy. Banned (3x!) by the fowl site for calling out GOP lies.

Infuriating catch-22. They treat the report as if it ONLY matters as a part of the electoral horse-race, not as evidence of a crime in its own right, while also seeming to imply that the timing of its release during that horse-race is suspicious. Couldn’t make it clearer the victim doesn’t matter.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.

White House Officials: Sir, we're getting crushed. The polls are grim. The early voting data is even worse. What can we do to win over the American people in this final week? Trump: Charge Comey again!

Guys, We need to win next week to give Democrats the ability to investigate this. Fuck impeachment. Charge both him and Todd Blanche in state court. He had to have been in a state when at least one of these crimes took place. And preferably a state that has a blue governor #USDemocracy

🔥 BEN MEISELAS ERUPTS: The Cheesecake Factory faux outrage exposes the propaganda machine. They brainwash Americans into fighting each other while oligarchs steal our healthcare, send our kids to endless wars, and buy more yachts. Divide the people. Enrich the oligarchs.

Part of Trump's ego's self-image is that he's a builder of great buildings with classy taste. He doesn't care about the Saddam comparison, but implying his decor is tacky really hurts.

Incredible — Trump tries to self-soothe about Obama’s Cheesecake Factory Line clearly hurting his feelings… for 2 full minutes 😬

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

Donald Trump's deployment of California's National Guard in Los Angeles was an unlawful and unconstitutional abuse of power. It was done over California’s objection — all in an effort to intimidate peaceful protestors advocating for immigrant rights.
