John Bolton once said, “Trump is too stupid to be a dictator.” He wasn’t wrong about his intellect; he underestimated the influence of a bully’s hateful rhetoric & its power to dumbfound the American electorate into a constant state of confusion, eventually surrendering itself to willful ignorance.

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Wow! We cannot let the fossil fuel industry continue to lie to us about clean energy, the “complexity” of its implementation or social acceptance. Everything they do, every lie is about maintaining their grip, controlling access to energy (a basic need & right), all so they can pick our pockets.

Today, local authorities confirmed the victims of the Stockton shooting were just 8, 9, 14, and 21 years old — and that the attack was likely targeted. Our hearts break for their families and the entire Stockton community.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Has anyone else noticed that the plot lines for every piece of fiction related to political corruption are suddenly obsolete?
- Cronyism & corruption in the WH & the Justice Department was the plot of The Pelican Brief.

When you follow illegal & unconstitutional orders, you are not a patriot, you are instead rewarded with a court martial & prison time, as does your commanding officer; the only one immune is the Commander in Chief, thanks to a corrupt SCOTUS reinventing the Constitution on behalf of P25 half-whits.
