Mississippi GOP nom for governor @TateReeves suggested that mental health is not a real "issue" and that Dem opponent Jim Hood is using it as a distraction.

When WJTV tried to follow up, Reeves would not respond, @GeraldHarrisTV reported. #MSelex ⅓
jacksonfreepress.com/news/2019/sep/…
Asked about @HoodForGovernor's claim that Tate Reeves didn't do enough for mental health, Reeves said:

"I understand that he has convinced y'all not to focus on the issues...but the reality is we're going to continue to focus on the issues that are important to MS." ⅔
Tate Reeves' apparent suggestion that mental health isn't among "issues that are important to Mississippi" comes a week after a federal judge ruled that the state violates the civil rights of those with mental illness & must make major changes. #MSelex 3/x

On Aug. 3, Donald Trump literally said he wanted to "get rid of judges"—not over sexual assault allegations—but who follow due process with immigration cases, thus slowing his policies.

Sen. @CindyHydeSmith did not express concerns about "judicial independence" then. #MSSen
On immigration, Trump says he wants to 'get rid of judges' google.com/amp/www.msnbc.…
Last year, Cindy Hyde-Smith gave her first speech on the Senate floor and called it her "duty as the first woman to represent Mississippi in Congress to speak in strong support of Judge Brett Kavanaugh" and against the women who accused him of rape.

I'll admit: A part of me still wants to say, "But why? He clearly presents as a man."

Know what though? There's no good reason it should bother me. Or you.

As Jesus said: "Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two."

In this case, just say "them," not "him."
If it bothers me, that's a me problem—not a Sam Smith problem.

So what if you or I think it's weird? I think "normal" ppl are weird all the time. I think I'm weird most of it.

What does it cost me to honor someone else's supposed "weirdness" with a word? What does it cost you?
You know what I think is really weird? Our obsession with trying to make sure everyone lives in accordance with their genitalia.

Why do we care so much if someone's expression of gender is different? It's not like someone is taking your pronouns away from you.

The office of lt. governor is arguably most powerful position in Mississippi, bc it includes both exec & legislative powers; lt gov is prez of the Senate & can push or kill legislation.

But tonight's debate been @DelbertHosemann & @Jay4Mississippi is just 30 mins long. #MSelex
Tonight's debate starts at 6:30 p.m. and will be on TV stations throughout the state including WJTV (Jackson) WHLT (Hattiesburg) WFNA (Mobile) WMDN (Meridian) WTVA (Tupelo/Columbus) WXXV (Gulfport)— also MS Public Radio & SuperTalk. #MSelex

1/ LOVE the guys .@tntradioempire: they make poop in a box as funny as dick in a box. Listen live, online, or via your favorite podcast.
Covered a few things, but NE!!! Please take note of thread for info on Medicaid-SPREAD FACTS.
Then: get out & vote FOR 427 Medicaid Expansion
2/ No, no, NO—Milk’s NOT racist! You know what’s racist? NAZIS.
Up to 75% of the world’s population has lactose intolerance-but most can tolerate limited amounts of dairy; & dairy is GOOD for you! And it does NOT cause cancer!

3/ Scientists did find (in a MOUSE model) that THC fits in receptors in the olfactory bulb, causing increased smell & increased food intake. The same group also found that regular chronic marijuana use affected short-term memory. So…eat up—again.

⚖️Sessions⚖️

Trump revived the idea of firing Sessions. Likely thinks Uncle Jr Rudy would be divine.🙄

David Pecker, Head Of National Enquirer, resigns from Postmedia Board

Michael Cohen, Lanny Davis & the Russian Mafia, oh my! Lanny Davis’ most notorious client is Firtash
⚖️Sessions2⚖️

Cohen atty Lanny Davis Is registered foreign agent for Dmitry Firtash a pro RU Oligarch wanted by US gov’t directly linked to Putin

19 mos into the Trump administration, we're starting to see what a real culture of corruption looks like.

None of it is normal
⚖️Sessions3⚖️

📌Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash, who has close ties to Manafort, has been wanted in Chicago since 2014 for his alleged role as the mastermind of an international titanium racket

Trump “is rage-googling himself, and he doesn’t like what he’s found

1. You’ve probably seen articles like this today and, hopefully, you’re reading them — and not just for the joy of watching the #GOP squirm at a squeaking defeat in what should’ve been a GOP blowout. The reactions of the opposition are strategic clues. apple.news/AmbTmoZhNTRqtK…
2. Particularly, I want to draw your attention to this statement from Paul Ryan. Basically, he’s pointing out that because Lamb didn’t have a primary opponent, he was able to run as a more conservative Dem which allowed him to win a district DT won by 20 pts.
3. Let’s unpack that a little. Two things are implied here. One, they know that GOP (and their support of DT) is frowned on enough that there is willingness to vote Dem in red districts with palatable messaging (moderate, willingness to work in a bipartisan manner).

Look, folks: CI people in the IC were in complete panic in 2016 -- not that Obama WH listened much -- since they KNEW who Trump really was.
2/ OK, time for a mini-rant cum tweetstorm on this since Planet Fox is up in arms now trying to crush the Muller investigation and the FBI.
CI professionals in the IC have known for MANY YEARS that Trump possessed strange, disconcerting ties to the Kremlin. Going back to 80s. /3
