Reporting is that Trump has now arrived in Seoul, and is awaiting word from Kim Jong-un @ whether or not KJu will meet with him @ the DMZ for an impromptu summit. BIG drama, as usual. And I can't shake the thought that it may not be spontaneous at all. #SaturdayThoughts
2- per Politico:"North Korea said it had not received an “official proposal” but a meeting “would serve as another meaningful occasion.” Earlier this wk, NK’s state news agency posted a photo of Kim reading a letter from Trump, which it described as “interesting content."
3-It's just so bizarre that Trump would pop in to say 'hi' to one of the most notorious, vicious dictators in the world...

Yesterday, Reddit dealt a major blow to the pro-Trump troll channel 'r/The_Donald' subreddit, by quarantining it so it won't show up in a search or carry ads anymore-among other things. Poor, forlorn little trolls... #ThursdayThoughts politico.com/story/2019/06/…
2-"Reddit has used the quarantine process in the past as a half-step toward banning controversial communities. "The reason for the quarantine is that over the last few months we have observed repeated rule-breaking behavior in your community," the social networking site wrote in
3-"note to r/The_Donald moderators. The company cited content that "encourages or incites violence," including recent posts expressing "encouragement of violence towards police officers and public officials in Oregon."

This is reporting that members of the GOP considered subpoenaing Mueller themselves in order to place Dem leadership off guard. It shouldn't be lost on us that the GOP legislators are a BIG part of the obstruction problem. #WednesdayWisdom thehill.com/policy/nationa…
2-"..a subpoena resolution from a Republican several weeks ago would have undoubtedly caught Judiciary Democrats off-guard, putting them in a tight spot where they would be on record either for or against subpoenaing Mueller, a move Democrats at the time had yet to make amid some
3-"divisions. But the GOP sources say McCarthy worried such a move would backfire. “I think McCarthy thought it was the wrong move and would play against the effort at large,”

#Biden slumps, #Buttigieg soars, tied with #Sanders and #Warren, #Harris next in benchmark #Iowa poll thehill.com/homenews/campa…
Critical point here is that the MSM is claiming that #Sanders "came within a handful of votes" of #HillaryClinton, when he lost in a landslide of 4M votes, 1k pledged delegates (not SDs) and a dozen states.
2/
This false narrative harms #Sanders--it's meant to highlight how badly he's doing in 2020 and prop up #Biden. But Sanders is actually doing better than in 2016. There are just more players. And Biden is being replaced by a younger centrist, #Buttigieg.

#Warren, #Harris and #Castro had previously called for #impeachment weeks ago.

More Democrats Are Calling For Impeachment After #Mueller Said He Could Not Clear Trump buzzfeednews.com/article/paulmc…
A week ago both #Beto and #Buttigieg had joined the impeachment calls.Today #Booker, #Gillibrand and others added their voices for impeachment and #Sanders said he would support whatever Pelosi chooses to do, but said it seems time to examine the issue.
The outlier among the frontrunners is #Biden, who took a wait-and-see attitude. In his
statement, #Mueller declaratively punted the ball to Congress.

Correct. There shld be some clear threshold. But it’s way too low with this many candidates. There are really five candidates at this point: Biden, Sanders, Warren, Harris, Buttigieg.
2/ And I say this w no disrespect to the excluded. Beto or Booker or Gillibrand et al. But for now they clearly lack substantial support. Also, maybe the metric shld be a bit looser and bring in 8 or 10. But more than that is not fair to voters.
3/ If you’re a elected official with access to nontrivial amounts of money, the status of elected official and you’ve been campaigning for months and you’re literally polling zero you just don’t have any standing to demand to be in a debate.

So we seem to have stopped discussing electability when #Bernie started slipping below #Warren and #Harris's favorables topped #Biden's.
Huh.
Maybe women ARE the ticket for 2020.
#Campaign2020
A month from now when the main debate stage is Biden, Bernie, Warren, Harris, Buttigieg, Beto, Klobuchar, Booker, Inslee, Castro and maybe Yang & Williamson, there will be more shifts in the polls.
One issue that will be raised is age.
No one will need to say it--we'll see it.

Biden finally announced & people are freaking out because he might be a threat to their preferred candidate.

Look. Biden isn’t my guy & I don’t know anyone who is ride or die for him but it would be insane for the guy who’s 20 points up from the nearest competitor not to run.
Social media is not the real world. Just because me & my friends aren’t Biden fans means little when every single poll shows tons of people are, & have been, consistently. That cannot be ignored or dismissed because we need every vote.

Social media skews young. Voting doesn’t.
I find it extremely frustrating that so many people are all-out attacking Biden right now.

Do you know why Republicans win, when there are far less of them?

They’re a team. They vote & they as a unit. They don’t tear apart their own. That gets them over the finish line.

Biden, Sanders, Warren, Harris, Gillibrand, Booker, O'Malley - who I figure will run, probably left off quite a few and that goofball Delaney who's already running
Oh yeah I'm betting Castro runs
I don't think the nominee will be a white guy but who knows
