So, #BlueNoMatterWho. For sure. Big time. Even if I am only really enthusiastic about two of the candidates.
But, folks, do me a favor, let's meet right after the election & have a little conversation about how deeply fucked up both U.S. political parties are. We can do better.
And please, don't get me wrong, the GOP is incomparably worse than the Dem Party. GOP is anti-American, racist, misogynist & corrupt in the extreme. But the political establishments in both parties are brain-dead and so twisted by money & special interests they daily fail us.
The person who gets this best and understands the costs to us all is @ewarren and that is why I support her most enthusiastically. But we are at one of those moments where a political reset in this country is needed--in our laws, in our institutions, in our priorities. Urgently.

Common sense tips for voters:
-Don't vote for someone unqualified or too inexperienced for the job
-Don't vote for someone too old for the job or unlikely to be able to finish the term of office
-Don't vote for someone who doesn't deserve the job but is trying to buy the office
-Don't vote for someone who is not really a member of your party
-Don't vote for someone whose views have suddenly changed just in time for new campaign ads
-Don't vote for someone whose base of support is actively hostile to the rest of the party
-Don't vote for someone who doesn't understand the problems of today & tomorrow and has no plans to address them
-Don't vote for someone who offers the past as an acceptable alternative to the future
-Don't vote for someone who shies away from the big problems we face

A man of the lowest character defended by another of similarly low repute, characters who would have been little more than footnotes in any other era, contemptibles unworthy of a historian's sneer, have today knocked our system of justice to its knees.
But no matter how negligible Stone and Trump may be as people, no matter how far beneath contempt they are and always will remain, it is worth remembering that they engaged in an effort to undermine our democracy in conjunction with a foreign enemy three years ago.
That foreign enemy must see the damage that they wrought including today's body blow to the credibility of the U.S. Department of Justice as one of the greatest international successes in its history. They did not achieve it with a great act of strategy or courage.

Two thirds of Americans hit retirement age w/$1000 in the bank. Half would be bankrupted by a minor medical emergency. Inequality is at record levels. Trump's tax cuts have helped the 1% while his regulatory cuts put Americans at risk while helping big companies.
GDP growth & stock market records are as remote as the moon to most Americans. Economic anxiety is what they live with daily. Farmers and coal miners and auto workers and steel workers all know Trump lied to them in 2016. These issues--this reality--is why Dems will win in Nov.
Republicans are the party of Wall Street. Democrats are the party of Main Street. Republicans are self-dealing and corrupt and putting healthcare and the environment and our national security at risk. Dems are the only ones who can credibly advocate for the majority of Americans.

Right about....NOW...it's dawning on a whole lot of people - some of whom are only going to be **pretending** to be surprised - that the DOJ would start an investigation into SpyGate with a FLIPPED WHISTLE BLOWER and they NEVER MADE A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT THIS HAD HAPPENED.
Anybody who thinks if Pientka flipped and has been cooperating the DOJ would have **held a freaking press conference and alerted the media** is too stupid to be commenting on SpyGate.

"Every they'd open up an new investigation into Comey, McCabe, Strzok, all these SpyGate people, I'm expecting a PRESS CONFERENCE, man. I wanna see the ATTORNEY GENERAL announce this himself. I want to be kept up to date on the status of this investigation as it progresses!"

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO

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.

1) This is a useful reminder to those of us who are more than TIRED of WAITING.

There will be NO ARRESTS before the #ELECTION (11/6/2018), at least from Jeff Sessions/DOJ. There CANNOT BE ARRESTS, prosecutions, or unsealed..
#ANON #Qanon #GreatAwakening #DrainingTheSwamp
2) indictments right before the #ELECTION by DOJ or its constituent parts.

The Hatch Act (5 U.S.C. §§ 7321-26) would prohibit the timing of arrests to affect an election.

Specifically, 5 U.S.C. § 7323(a)(1) holds that “[A]n employee may not use his...
3) official authority or influence for the purpose of interfering with or affecting the result of an election.”

There would be no doubt that, say, arresting Crooked Hillary this week or next week would be the use of official authority to affect the result of an election. ..
