I'd tweeted the transcript from a 2016 Chuck Todd interview with @BernieSanders where he claimed @TimKaine was "more conservative" than he was. They vote in agreement 75% of the time. projects.propublica.org/represent/memb…
Yes, he is in agreement 93% of the time with @SenWarren but Kaine's figure doesn't qualify, to me, as making him "more conservative." That was a very loaded word to use during the campaign and Sanders knew it.
"Moderate" Republican Susan Collins of Maine -- just 5 hours north of Sanders in Vermont -- votes in agreement with him just 27% of the time. projects.propublica.org/represent/memb…

Cruz (and Rubio) lost the primary to @realDonaldTrump when the Trump didn't have the advantage of hyper partisanship. Cruz lost to Trump when either candidate would've given Republicans what they wanted (ACA repeal, conservative judges).
Because the GOP establishment mostly rallied behind @realDonaldTrump the election became @HillaryClinton vs Paul Ryan's domestic policy and Federalist Society-approved SCOTUS justices.
Ignoring that Trump didn't have all that in his favor (plus the fundamentals of the race and the precedent against a party winning the WH three times in a row, oh and Russia attacking our elections) is ... odd.

I remember an interview with Robert Downey Jr after he’d gotten out prison (yeah, the pre-Iron Man days). He was asked what the worst thing was that happened to him there. He said, “I’ll never tell you the worst thing that happened to me in prison.”
I don’t know that he meant rape but most guys would think that was what he meant. We would never want to admit to rape, to the her powerlessness and violation. Why do we think women are in a hurry to do this? Or that they enjoy broadcasting that they were a victim?
It’s brave that women come forward and there’s nothing to be ashamed of. But women don’t enjoy revealing this.

Isn't this also more an employment issue than a legal one? This came up with Franken, who I also thought should've resigned. "Due process" and "presumption of innocence" are important when talking about putting someone in jail. Here we're talking abt not putting someone on SCOTUS
Roy Moore and Al Franken weren't deprived of a natural right (their "freedom"). They lost Senate seats, which are obviously privileges that a rare number of people enjoy.
When a former teacher or coworker comments on your past performance, they aren't treated like witnesses at a trial. They don't testify under oath nor are their cross examined.

In light of polling data shared by Manafort to Kilimnik, this is VERY INTERESTING.

@berniesanders campaign took voter data- was it shared via Mulvey, Devine and Kilimnik?

Who told them to do this?

@BernieSanders I have many questions @SenSanders

1. Which 4 staffers did this?
2. They were available together for a 40 min interval?
3. Time of day?
4. Their connection to Mulvey & Devine?
5. Did they sexually harrass fellow staffers?

THREAD: #TheGreatAwakening

1) What does the Great Awakening mean to you, to me, to the world? Let's talk about it. I think this movement means many different things to all of us. But the root of the movement is all the same in my opinion & it can be explained in 1 word: UNITY
2) I know for myself the last 10+ months I have seen more people come together from more different walks of life than I could have ever dreamed possible who have ALL chosen to ignore the LIES & Deceit from the #MSM.
3) So many who have woken from their sleep, myself included. We have woken up and we have woken up together as one cohesive UNIT(y).

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Opinion: The Death Of Hope And Why It Is Crucial For An American Awakening

disobedientmedia.com/2018/08/opinio…
"The death of hope can push us into a very dark place, but that darkness is the birth canal of real change."
"For some people, hope came in the form of a red hat, with stenciled letters embracing their foreheads promising to Make America Great Again. My hopes were pinned instead on #BernieSanders."
