I liked Elizabeth Warren better before her interview on Rachel Maddow this week. She obviously lied when answering the question about her remarks about not choosing a nominee out of fear, denying it was meant for Biden. Hey, I am not dumb. It was not subtle. I've said same thing
I agree with her Biden is the choice of fear. Own it. Also, please stop pretending health care will be free or paid for by the rich. We're not dumb and can understand rather than pay a premium, we pay a % of income and save the waste of marketing, shareholder profits, etc.
I won't believe in your plans if you pretend only other people will pay for them

Fifty years after the 15th amendment expanded the vote to Black men, women got the 19th amendment. It's 161 years since the 14th amendment and there is still no Equal Rights Amendment. I think white America was willing to make that check to Black men more easily than to women
because they knew if Black men tried to cash it, they could bounce that check. Trump is the reaction to Obama cashing the check, for seeking the White House, the presidency, equality. I think they know their math and recognize it's easier to bounce a check for 12% than 51%
Of course, if people of color and others one the downside of white patriarchy allied, they're a hell of a lot more. White men running this country have always been minority rule. But white women cross the line to join with white men rather than allying with women or

Sometimes the lack of historical perspective in the media is appalling. When the questioner harped on DADT as though it criminalized homosexuality rather than a small protection that did not exist before, I wonder how they get their jobs.
Gays were not allowed to serve in the military, full stop. If they were discovered, they were court-martialled, sent to prison, and got a dishonorable discharge. It was a crime to join the military if you were gay. Clinton pledged to end that.
One of Clinton's first acts as president was an EO telling the military to recommend what changes needed to happen to open the military to gays. The military ran to Congress and whined and Sam Nunn and others began holding hearings to bash gays and prohibit gay military service

There is no reason to equate the intelligence whistleblower with either Snowden's leak to Greenwald or Manning's leak to Wikileaks or to Julian Assange. The whistleblower has not leaked the information. The whistleblower used the legal system in place to bring problems to light
The whistleblower went to the Inspector General, not to the press nor to China and Russia. This is what is supposed to happen. The IG letting Congress know that a report was not being passed on...that is the job.
I would tag The View and Meghan McCain, but I have never seen any evidence that there is any capacity on her part to incorporate new information that does not come from a GOP talking point release

😨Ex CIA Bob Baer suggests the “urgent credible threat” in the whistleblower complaint (that DNI won’t give Congress) ”usually” has something to do w/ someone in White House setting up an illegal backchannel to a foreign govt, or some sort of corruption, discovered by CIA or NSA.
🚨>> Whistleblower complaint involves TRUMP’S communications with a foreign leader that included a “promise” regarded so troubling it prompted an official in the US intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
In the weeks before the “urgent & credible” whistleblower complaint about Trump’s “promise” to a foreign leader, he had interactions with:
1) Russia’s Putin that WH initiated
2) 2 “beautiful” letters from North Korea’s Kim Jong Un
3) Pakistan’s PM
4) Netherlands’ PM
5) Qatar emir

SO Oleg Deripaska's escort Nastya Rybka was detained upon returning to Russia. She's been in jail in Thailand for nearly a year after she claimed to have 16-18 hours of recordings of Putin's favorite oligarch, including alleged discussions w/ 3 Americans for Trump election plan.
Nastya Rybka's recordings were first reported by Russian opposition politician @navalny (), connecting Deripaska Manafort dots. She was then arrested on routine trip to Thailand w/ her sex guru Alex Leslie Kirillov. She seemed terrified. (Feb 2018👇THREAD)
More Rybka background: Russian journalist Maxim Borodin died in fall after investigating Rybka's claims of Deripaska links to Trump-Russia conspiracy.() Deripaska sued her. She gave him her recordings, and promised to stay silent. Now she returns to Russia.

Trump’s rant at WH meeting today even made Bill Shine—disgraced FoxNews exec now head White House PR guy—squirm. He couldn’t sit still, as Trump rattled off his usual ignorant propaganda talking points and self-praise.
“What’s he done for me?”—Trump on Mattis, says he fired him because “I want results.” This rant at WH cabinet meeting is just incredible. It’s like he’s on speed. He just can’t shut up🤐. TV cameras should pan out—to capture the reaction of people in room.
How dumb is Trump? Really really REALLY dumb: "The reason Russia went into Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia. They were right to be there. That's why there's no Soviet Union."

It's a miracle we've survived 2 years of this. Not sure about the next two.
