Please take a few minutes to read this.
This key point: Trump wants Americans fighting each other on the basis of race and religion -- the uglier the better -- while he and his friends rob the bank.
Trump seems to genuinely enjoy inflicting social pain and encouraging racial and religious hate because it feeds into his own ego, neediness, resentments and prejudices. But ask his biographers: the kleptocracy -- along with the cruelty -- is the point.

This "moderate congressman" just said on @hardball that Trump saying he can do anything he wants as president and getting away with getting foreign help to win is "not the point." He said the important thing is to "do stuff with the other side" and not be "attacking them."
These "moderates" think they can protect Trump, treat him like a normal president and do deals with him, ignore his increasingly blatant autocratic behavior and focus on mild tinkering with healthcare like it's the 1990s. They are kinder to Trump than to the constitution. Lord...
What was it that Dr King said about the moderate, who prefers "order” to justice; and "a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice...?"

All of the theater criticism on Twitter aside, this is what most Americans will read in their morning papers. This is literally all the Democrats needed. Most Americans will never see Mueller's total performance, because they are are not home right now. This is the headline. Fin.
Robert Mueller did not have to actually be Robert Deniro. He just needed to make clear that the only reason Trump was not indicted is because he is president. He did that. Be blessed.
Here you have it:

Make no mistake, any voter who says "I don't want to vote for Trump again but I'll have to if the Democrats [fill in the blanks]..." is already planning to vote for Trump again. They are simply looking for a polite society excuse or a way to blame Democrats for it.
As @cornellbelcher has said a million times, the truly convertible, accessible voters are Obama 2008 and 2012 voters who declined to vote in 2016. If Dems get even a fraction of those voters to turn out in the key states like MI, WS and PA in 2020 they win.
Chasing and pandering to and begging people who have converted to Trumpism to please come back is a fool's errand, a waste of campaign resources and an insult to those who genuinely support Democratic goals but felt unheard or disaffected or were disenfranchised in 2016.

Though we all want our kids to be safe, the moment someone mentions Sex Education, we shrink into a ball.

Conventional sex education limits itself to half baked scientific knowledge of anatomy, pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
This is still a Victorian model where ultimate aim is to drive people away from notion of sex by making it as uninteresting and scary as possible.

But imparting of real knowledge, information about pleasure, eroticism etc to adolescents brings you in conflict with law.
And the biggest parental fear - if they know about all this, they WILL start using this knowledge.!

Fair enough.

So most kids end up learning about sex from friends and sex videos aka pornography.

There is almost nothing to stop them from their curiosity.

Great example of elite globalists leveraging political & intelligence networks to infiltrate public discourse.

If you'd like to see the "big picture" just take a look at the MAP.

What do they do at MAP?

They organize round-table discussions called "Global Conversations."

They share insights (leaks & propaganda) with journalists and political operatives.

NYT Thomas Friedman must be really insightful.
Here is what Friedman wrote in the NYT last year. "Muh Russia" propaganda.

Since the targeted attack against Michael Jackson was broadcast to hide real predators in Hollywood, to damage his legacy and to fund two broke perjurers, many misconceptions about him still remain. I wanted to bring light to who he really was so here is: The REAL MJ, a thread.
It’s no secret that Michael made a huge impact on the world with his charitable efforts, he received many humanitarian awards and even a world record for his donations of over $300M in life and $200M+ in his name since his passing.
In this thread I’ll be sharing a handful of the many wonderful and selfless things he did for others, not just his monetary contributions so please take a few minutes to read this list of most of his humanitarian work up to 2003: michaeljacksonslegacy.org/index.php/his-…

Many adjunct professors earn less than minimum wage while the presidents of their universities rake in 6 or even 7 figure salaries. Meanwhile, adjunct labor runs the university--for example, Columbia is 60% adjuncts and the New School is a whopping 91% theatlantic.com/education/arch…
just to note: this data is from several years ago--it may well have gotten worse. I'd like to say it might've gotten better, but I'd be surprised if that were the case.
If these stats disturb you, please also take a few minutes to read this heart rending essay about the human face of this crisis (disproportionately black, queer, & women) and what results when workers are not given the protections they should have by law:

Each day I go to the gym, Lakesha asks me about the Second Date Update. From her smile when I walk in the door, and her eagerness in asking about the show, I can tell that she enjoys me telling her about them. As the days go on, she seems to enjoy them more and more.
Each day you have a choice. You can live in your own world and ignore those you interact with. Or you can take a few minutes to talk to them and put a smile on their face. If we all did this, the world would be a much better place. There would be less anger and hatred.
It’s only a few minutes, but I’m certain it’s made a difference in her life. She seems cheerier and more upbeat than she was when we first began talking. Who knows what impact it’s had on her life? One thing is certain. It costs me nothing to do this.
