Rick: Do you believe the story about the rain?
Sarah Kendzior: NO! This is all crap. Trump golfs in the rain. He's taken the water bucket challenge. He's afraid of things like stairs. He is actively hostile & trying to undermine the stability of western order.
@sarahkendzior

Sarah Kendzior: What Trump did was insulting, cruel, a stab at the dignity of the countries involved, and then to do it again by stabbing at France on the 3rd anniversary of the terrorist attack...

Sarah Kendzior: Trump doesn't smile. He doesn't laugh. He sneers, he smirks. The only time you see anything close to a smile is when he's with Cohen or with various members of Russian mafia or Kremlin officials. That's disturbing.

Rick: It's one thing to snub the French but it's a whole 'nother level of insult to snub We, the People and veterans by not going to Arlington.
Sarah Kendzior: He hasn't visited any troops abroad on active duty; he's denying VA benefits
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation

Sarah Kendzior: I think he looks down on the military, looks at them like a bunch of suckers; he can't believe anyone would make this level of sacrifice because he weaseled his way out of it.

Rick: Every vet should be upset by the plan to privatize & profitize the VA.
Sarah Kendzior: It's not covered in the media. The people who've fought in Iraq, Afghanistan don't get the services they need. They struggle, their families struggle.

Sarah Kendzior: Now there's such class stratification in who joins the military--some are looking for help paying bills, for aid with college education.

Rick: So, Kelly might be leaving the White House?
Sarah Kendzior: Kelly was terrible to veterans & widows; he's a bigot. I won't mourn his leaving the White House. At the heart of alleged departures is shaking things up, filling void with loyalists.

Sarah Kendzior: Sarah Sanders is good at her job, if her job is being terrible.
Rick: I think "soulless" is one of the qualifications for that job.
Sarah: She's good at getting the media to go along with her & she compulsively lies.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation

Sarah Kendzior: It's a waste of time to have to spend time debunking Sarah Sanders' lies. Analyzing the nature of it, why did they lie in this particular way--that's never how the press treats it.

Rick: The GOP is crying election fraud because they're doing it.
Sarah Kendzior: They've been working on this in GA for a long time, since 2016. A year ago I wrote they need to investigate what's going on in GA before midterms & I was right.

Sarah Kendzior: Stacey Abrams is doing a good job of holding her ground & demanding a recount.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation

Sarah Kendzior: Trump is trying to get military votes thrown out in FL--just another in a long line of injustices aimed at the military.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation

Sarah Kendzior: What happens here sets a precedent for future elections. We all remember unresolved issues from 2000, 2016 elections.
