Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the evil in our world, especially in light of our nation right now. But instead of focusing on that, I need to focus on the good that exists. And on how I can serve others and help them.

Jeffrey Sterling, ex CIA: The military is punishing Maj Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it. Art. 13 of the UCMJ says no one being held for trial may be punished, and that pretrial confinement may be no 'more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence'.

Was it Iran that pulled out of the JCPOA? Did Iran hit us with bunker buster bombs and declare-arrogantly and incorrectly-they had destroyed our nuclear capabilities? When that proved to be false, did they incompetently bomb a girl’s school? Yes-Iran is a malign nation. But Trump is a fascist

It is genuinely weird that Trump has spent his whole life surrounded by extraordinary wealth and still has the absolute trashiest, tackiest taste imaginable.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Oh my gosh. A local news source broke a story that Trumo is coming to my small town if 47k people. What a cluster this will be!

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

BASH: What's the crime? AG TODD BLANCHE: What's the crime? Well it depends. There *could* be a crime. But the real wrong here is that Alaskans are gonna be confused. BASH: The Alaskan Supreme Court ruled 4 months ago on this matter

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

Jess Herr reposted

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

Barack Obama doesn't need to lie about an uncle inventing radar to make us think he comes from a more intelligent family than Donald Trump's. He just needs to open his mouth and speak a complete sentence.
