| Tens of thousands of American innocents die each year of a cause we know we can control. But our politicians do nothing because they take money from those who make the deaths possible. That’s not corruption. It is a crime. | |||||

| A few reactions to Mueller, Part I: 1. Mueller did as he said he would and conducted himself with integrity and dignity. 2. It is astonishing to me that the huge central fact--that an enemy state undertook a massive effort to get Trump elected--was simply stipulated. | |||||

| the GOP won't express outrage because they aren't outraged. They support the racism, the traitorous behavior, the sexual predation, & the efforts to undermine the Constitution and have proven it over and over and over again. They are not amoral, they're immoral. | |||||

| The idea prevalent among some conservative Dem voters that America is just not ready for a woman president or for a woman of color president ignores the fact that in the last three elections a person of color or a woman got the most votes. | |||||

| This is a very bleak day for democracy in America. The SCOTUS decision sidestepping their responsibility to ensure that voting maps are not drawn to create unfair advantages for parties is an outrageous error with profound consequences. | |||||

| I believe Trump should be impeached. I believe Barr should be impeached. I believe McConnell should be impeached. I believe Jared and Ivanka should be stripped of their security clearances and fired. I believe Trump Administration officials who ignore subpoenas should be jailed.

| The most serious betrayal of the United States by a senior pubic official since the Civil War took place in full view of the public and was confirmed by a thorough investigation. That is what history will see--a corrupt president betraying his country. | |||||

| Note to old school Dems, The "center" is not where you left it. It's not that warm place where bi-partisan compromise was king and Wall St. advisory jobs waited. I have no idea where I fall in thepolitical spectrum. Not "Right", for sure. -dbciii | |||||
