Warren doing very little to make the case for herself as a candidate for President in this debate. Her game plan seems to simply be attacking Bloomberg.
Sanders gets heckled a bit from the crowd as he talks about his stance on Castro and Cuba.

"Really? Really?" Sanders responds.
Buttigieg lands another couple of jabs at Sanders in talking about 'the bright side of the Castro regime.'

Sanders raising his voice, Buttigieg talking over him. Transcript will simply say "CROSSTALK"

Sanders joins Warren in getting heckled and booed by some in the crowd, as Sanders jabs at Bloomberg
With that long answer before the first break, Warren almost seemed to run interference for Sanders.
I wish we had no audience for a debate, but that's not the way they work. Still, it is notable that the biggest negative reactions tonight from the crowd have been for Sanders and Warren.

This thread is a timeline of details and information chronicling why Donald Trump, and the threat he poses to the Global Agenda.

Drain the swamp. MAGA WORLDWIDE!

My hope is people will read and understand the severity, yet think for themselves and draw their own conclusions.
First thing first, I have to go back. Way back to the 1980's. A young real estate mogul making his rise in New York City, and a socialite mingling with some of the most well known people around the world.
1.) DONALD TRUMP & THE PLAN LONG BEFORE HIS ELEVATOR ANNOUNCEMENT

■ 1980 Interview,
"How would you make America perfect?"

Listen to the similarities in ideology in this 4 minute clip.

"ONE MAN could turn this country around, I firmly believe that."

#BREAKING Softening the ground to pardon convicted felon Roger Stone? >> Trump to commute sentence of disgraced Ill Gov Rod Blagojevich—convicted for a bribery extortion shakedown not unlike Trump's Ukraine scheme. Trump even called it just "a phonecall." chicago.suntimes.com/news/2020/2/18…
Trump—the #FreeFelon POTUS: Blagojevich was impeached; SCOTUS upheld felony corruption convictions. But Trump likes that Blago wife linked Mueller & Comey to Blago prosecutor: “This same cast of characters that did this to my family are out there trying to do it to the president"
All Trump's rants about "crooked cops" are now exposed as total totalitarian horseshit. He's perverting the law to help friends & hurt enemies. He just granted clemency to several felons convicted of corruption: NY police commissioner Kerik & Blagojevich—both opposed impeachment.

Impeachment 101

Fact 2 : Only 2 Prezs - Andrew Johnson and Clinton were impeached. Neither was removed from office.
Fact 3 : #Nixon was not impeached, he resigned.

Impeachment 101

Process
1. Speaker announces start of formal impeachment proceedings
2. House of Reps has to pass this with a clear majority.
3. It then goes to the Senate. The CJ presides.

President Trump spoke to reporters at the White House before leaving for Dayton and El Paso.

"I think my rhetoric it brings people together," he says, per @justinsink
"My critics are political people. They're trying to make points. In many cases they're running for president and very low in the polls," Trump said.
"They're trying to make political points, I don't think it works, I would like to stay out of the political fray," he says.

[2010] MSM Continues To Ignore Blago-Gate.. If this were a Republican President, the media would be doggedly pursuing this story 24/7. instead, it is all but ignored. Yet, another indication of the complicity of today’s media w the like minded left in gvmt

President-elect Barack Obama is a product of this venal swamp. His claims that he knew nothing of Mr. Blagojevich’s “pay-to-play” scheme are not credible. Mr. Obama was deeply immersed in Illinois’ sleazy politics. amp.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/dec/…
#themoreyouknow [2008] That’s the reason that the fall of Gov. Rod Blagojevich is going to continue to haunt Obama, not to mention Chicago’s Democratic establishment where he built his roots. swampland.time.com/2008/12/09/bla…

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
