wow we've been so starved to see anyone in government directly, angrily, intelligently and emphatically stand up to the GOP
a crowd would have already formed on Capitol Hill just to chant Strzok's name if anyone could pronounce it
bracing for "Strzok for President" takes like the sober person whose drunk friend just saw a guy put a coaster under his drink and decide she's going to marry him

This past year I started having to drive 7-14hrs every work and I also learned how to listen to podcasts so I can now say, I really like:
@thedollop
@CHAPOTRAPHOUSE
@BillCorbett's Funhouse billcorbettsfunhouse.libsyn.com
@johnlevenstein's Retirement Party itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/joh…

and
most of all (ok yes also it's the only one I've been invited to be a guest on)
@WGladstone's Intangible Quarter patreon.com/wgladstone
@WGladstone Also just realized @wgladstone listened to all 5 of these first and told me I'd like them and should listen to them and made fun of me until I learned how to download podcasts.

Future Presidents should be allowed to rule in totality without any oversight, as the Constitution intended!
If they'd lived during the Revolutionary War, every single modern-day Republican would have fought on the side of the British.
[EDITOR'S NOTE: The tweet above is an exaggerated joke to underline the point made in the sarcastic quote RT it is linked to. It is not, in fact, a thesis statement nor doctoral candidate paper and therefore, does not need to be evaluated nor argued as such. You absolute losers]

"You ordered food?!! But there are so many leftovers!!! It will go to waste!!" -mom, aghast at the idea we aren't all making a meal of 6 brussel sprouts, the worst bits of a turkey carcass and ok yes a giant bag (?) of stuffing
I regret to inform you I have eaten too much take out

1. The founders believed that the synergy of free, informed individuals with three independent branches of government would make democracy thrive. They didn't consider that the synergy of a campaign, a foreign power and a complicit majority party could destroy democracy.
2. The knew a free press was integral to our success, but they couldn't have envisioned the mass spread of propaganda - spawned and disseminated by foreign entities - through social media. Nor could they anticipate a major news network becoming a propaganda arm of the WH.
3. Further, they didn't likely imagine that our country would become so powerful that the choices of a rogue administration could inflict significant and lasting damage on a global scale - impacting economies, alliances and stability. Yet, here we are.

@davidfrum @TheAtlantic This has nothing to do with enforcement. The president is claimig the immigrants coming to our country are some kind of ‘liberal plot’ or somehow associated with the Democratic party - this is a lie. Democrats want border enforcement too - we just don’t think a wall makes sense.
@davidfrum @TheAtlantic You of all people should recognize that this entire story is a propaganda piece being used by the President & his alt-reich pals to create a kind of xenophobic fury in order to get more votes for the midterms. There’s a discussion re enforcement but this is a false narrative.
@davidfrum @TheAtlantic The majority of Dem voters are in favor of border enforcement- it’s just not high on the list of priorities given the current state of our country/ politics. Democratic leaders have voted for stronger border enforcement very recently & have been pushing for immigration reforms.

(1 of 12) Here’s another GREAT take on the Putin-Trump summit! I just love the points made in this article. Here are a few excerpts:
(2 of 12) “It really is quite simple. Everyone is smart except Donald J. Trump. That’s why they all are billionaires and all got elected President. Only Trump does not know what he is doing. Only Trump does not know how to negotiate with Vladimir Putin.”
(3 of 12) “Anderson Cooper knows how to stand up to Putin. The whole crowd at MSNBC does. All the journalists do. They could not stand up to Matt Lauer at NBC. They could not stand up to Charlie Rose at CBS. They could not stand up to Mark Halperin at NBC.”

FARCE 101: Trump's captured House GOP are pretending they're having an oversight hearing when in fact they brought FBI agent Peter Strzok to badger & hold him in contempt. @RepGoodlatte just had a fit, made up rules, yelled at Dems, told Strzok he couldn't talk w his lawyer.
"At no time did my personal beliefs enter the realm of my work"—FBI #Strzok defends his negative texts about Trump. He said he wrote them late at night after he heard Trump's attacks on a Gold Star family and he was "disgusted" that someone running for president would do that.
Behold an incompetent witch hunt: Benghazi bulldog Gowdy’s mic drop really belongs to Strzok. In recounting his disgust at Trump insulting a GoldStar family, Strzok exposed just how morally bankrupt these disgraceful corrupt lapdog Republicans have become🎤

1. Listen up @GOP @HouseGOP @SenateGOP! My entire life, every time #GOP takes control they break the economy. Every. Time. Clearly you don't learn from your mistakes, or just cave to the disgusting 'party over country' battle cries. Pay attention - this is why you fail.
2. Two consistent platform features push diametrically against each other. An adherence to the failed 'Trickle Down Economics' model & Deregulation. Your core desire for small government will result in failure of your economic plan every time. The #GOPTaxScam will be disasterous.
3. Your model fails because you stack the deck for those at the top and then sit back touting your laissez-faire foundation, just hoping your 'plan' is going to magically happen in a socially beneficial way - and, repeatedly, it doesn't. Why not?
