What's the end game in the Catholic identity politics of Bill Barr and his supporters?
Try to prove that Biden is a bad Catholic and that Catholics cannot vote for any Democrat.
Win election.
Pack courts.
Reverse Roe and more. Much more.

@USATODAY Object to this scheme and they call you an anti-Catholic bigot.
@USATODAY When will Catholics in Trump's White House be denied communion because they support separating kids from parents at the border?
The answer will probably be that "internment camps are not a core part of Church doctrine."
We already know that. We learned that in 1945.
Never again.

Debate question:
The Twin Metals sulfide mine-- owned by Jared & Ivanka's D.C. landlord -- will destroy the Boundary Waters. @Amyklobuchar is one of a very few Democrats in Congress who support the mining company. Why?

wsj.com/articles/a-dem… via @WSJ
@amyklobuchar @WSJ Trump position on sulfide mining near the Boundary Waters: Let the "rigorous environmental review process" by federal and state regulators decide if they can open the mine.
@amyklobuchar position: Same.
@JoeBiden: What mine?
@ewarren and @SenSanders position: No F---ing way!
@amyklobuchar @WSJ @JoeBiden @ewarren @SenSanders EPA protocol on sulfide mining in the Boundary Waters: The "rigorous environmental review process" is expedited if the owner of the mine leases a $10 million house in D.C. to Jared & Ivanka on favorable terms.

People of Praise is another far right group. Women members are assigned a "handmaid" before they marry and become subordinate to husbands.
If you ask questions of members nominated for the federal courts, you get called a "militant seculariist" or bigot.

Dr. Adrian Reimers of Notre Dame identified cult like characteristics in People of Praise.
A ND link to his article worked a year ago, but doesn't work now.
The archives are still posted on-line. Let's see how long these documents stay in this file.

"Research files concerning People of Praise and other charismatic groups or covenant communities including Sword of the Spirit and Word of God; publications of Free Again in Christ and other cult awareness or cult recovery groups; and related periodicals and audio tapes."

In addition to Bill Barr, Opus Dei has another man in Washington. Leonard Leo has chosen more federal judges and justices than most popes choose cardinals. Just call him Leo XIV
washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…
Leonard Leo apparently has raised $250 million to influence the composition of the federal judiciary. That kind of dough will buy him a lot of judges and justices.
Why is it that a Republican president has never appointed a Jewish justice to the Supreme Court? Does the Opus Dei crowd think that all Jewish judges are “militant secularists” simply because they are capable or reading the establishment clause?

New York Times report from May on Biden, Ukraine and Burisma Holdings:

"No evidence has surfaced that the former vice president intentionally tried to help his son by pressing for the prosecutor general’s dismissal.”

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
NYT - Hunter Biden was warned by associates who had experience in Ukraine to stay away from Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, who had worked in the government of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
Zlochevsky faced multiple internal/external investigations for money laundering, Yanukovych-era corruption, tax evasion and the granting of gas licenses.

It is unclear if/how seriously Ukraine’s fmr. prosecutor general Viktor Shokin investigated Burisma.

What a total reframing of what actually happened to try to damage @KamalaHarris.
#Biden raised the issue of segregation.
#Booker---WHO IS BLACK---asked for an apology.
Biden doubled down and claimed Booker should apologize to him.
1/
 usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
This went on over a week before the debate as #Biden's history was revealed by journalists like me.
In the debates Biden lost badly to #Harris when he couldn't address his own record.
Biden's numbers plummeted, Harris's rose.
Then Biden went on CNN to attack Harris.
2/
Chris Cuomo gave #Biden TWO WHOLE SHOWS to attack #Harris with no pushback. Biden claimed he was "blindsided" by Harris, who commented on the issue Biden raised 10days earlier.
Biden revealed all his terrible policy ideas he never talks about & also attacked progressive WOC.

HUGE.
#Biden & #Bernie continue to plummet. I wrote last month that #Buttigieg was the natural inheritor of voters divesting of Biden. #Warren is the natural inheritor of the left vote. #Harris, still the most charismatic candidate, has now tripled her Iowa standing since June.
This is the Democratic field. The debates both winnowed the field and reshuffled the deck. Despite massive help from MSM that included two full hours on Chris Cuomo in prime time, much spent attacking Harris and progressives, Biden fails to move his campaign forward.
Sanders has released a couple of videos vomosring himself to FDR, who was president when Sanders was born in 1941. Both Biden and Bernie focusing on the past while Harris and Warren roll out forward-thinking policy almost daily.

This is why the polls are shaking out as they are.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

Short thread on importance of even the smallest elections:
BEGIN
1) My small coastal town has 3 seats up for city council next month. #vote
2) Of those running for city council, 5 believe in climate change, 4 don't. All but 2 candidates GOP. 3/5 climate believers here GOP. #vote
3) Last city council election, only 20% registered Dems voted, because they saw majority of candidates were GOP and they dismissed them.
