The Repubs held without a meeting, hearing or vote for 9 months before the election the nomination of Merrick Garland, claiming the American people deserve to chose who decides in 2016.

“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court 1/
Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”

— Mitch McConnell, March 2016.

“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say 2/
Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.”

—Lindsey Graham, March 10, 2016

There you have it - the greatest act of political hypocrisy in our history to go along with the greatest act of treachery when the Repub Senate 3/
acquitted the Impeached Trump without allowing evidence or witnesses.

It is sad to see the Republicans have no integrity, no decency and no values as they shred the constitution. 4/end

Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.

One was 1/ Image
called "Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.

The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", 2/
where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person who used their power to eliminate everyone else.

Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that 3/

Trump is either a tax fraud or the world’s worst businessman.

But given how much revenue Trump generates — according to the Times report — from his resorts and other businesses, for him to make the math work one of two things has to be true: If these 1/
washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…
tax documents are real and Trump is telling the truth in them, then they show that the president is a real estate failure of epic proportions. The alternative would seem to be that he’s defrauded the government — and maybe even broken federal tax laws. Trump is unlikely to be 2/
comfortable with either possibility.

But if the Times’s reporting is accurate, Trump claims to be a business failure on a massive scale. According to the report, he initially paid a combined $95 million in federal income tax on his “Apprentice” income, but was able to obtain 3/

The Repubs care nothing for the rule of law or the Constitution as they gleefully flaunt their hypocrisy. The Repubs established the standard what they did in 2016 and if they proceed to do a 180 within 60 days of the election, then the unfortunate consequence of McConnell’s 1/ Image
unconstitutional action in 2016 refusing to do the Senate’s duty of advice and consent should justify the constitutional right of a new 2021 Congress to add 4 new Supreme Court Judges. McConnell lowered the Court to 8 and now the Dems should make that move.

The Supreme 2/
Court has been 9 members for a long time since we had 9 Federal Circuit Courts. There are now 13 Circuit Courts so increasing the number of Supreme Court justices to 13 makes sense. The 9th Circuit which includes California has 29 members, so bring it on McConnell. Besides, 3/

to polls at Virginia early voting site trying to intimidate & illegally interfere in the electoral process by blocking access to the polling place. This is going to happen across the country thanks to Trump’s dangerous messages to his supporters. In California, an 2/

If this happens tell the polling volunteers or call the police. The lawbreakers in Virginia were warned but disbursed only when extra security was called. This costs the 3/

Former Pence aide says she will vote for Biden because of Trump’s ‘flat out disregard for human life’ during pandemic.

President Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic showed a “flat out disregard for human life” because his “main concern was the 1/ washingtonpost.com/politics/olivi…
economy and his reelection,” according to a senior adviser on the White House coronavirus task force who left the White House in August.

Olivia Troye, who worked as homeland security, counterterrorism and coronavirus adviser to Vice President Pence for two years, said that 2/
the administration’s response cost lives and that she will vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden this fall because of her experience in the Trump White House.

Biden Creates Legal War Room, Preparing for a Big Fight Over Voting. i have joined the Biden legal protection team to assist to protect our vote against the voter suppression and lies being disseminated by Trump. The group was organized by those who 1/
